What happens if Uber payment fails?

When an unsuccessful transaction occurs, you may be unable to request, schedule a ride or tip your driver. You can clear this outstanding amount directly from the Uber app. Before requesting your next ride, the app will give you a prompt to choose a payment method for the charge and pay the balance.
