How does Uber refund work?

If you suspect fraud associated with your account, such as being charged for a ride you didn't take, you may also be eligible to receive a refund. All refund disputes are investigated by Uber and determined on a case-by-case basis. Uber Eats requires you to cancel your order to receive a refund.
