How do I get my money back from a Cancelled Uber?

Open the Uber app on your device and tap on the Menu icon in the top left corner. Tap on Your Trips and select the trip that you cancelled. Look for a Cancel Fare button and tap on it. Confirm the cancellation and the fare will be refunded to your payment method.



If you are charged a cancellation fee for an Uber trip in 2026, you can dispute it directly through the app. Navigate to "Activity," select the specific canceled trip, and tap "Get Trip Help." From there, select "Review my cancellation fee." The automated system will check if the driver was making progress toward you or if they exceeded the estimated arrival time; if the system detects a discrepancy, a refund is often issued instantly to your "Uber Credits" or original payment method. If a driver cancels after you've waited more than 5 minutes past the ETA, you are typically eligible for an automatic refund. In 2026, Uber's AI-driven support is quite efficient at resolving these, but if you have a recurring issue, you can request a manual review from a human agent through the "Help" menu.
