What if someone is using my card details on Uber?

If that person used your card on their account, tell Uber that the card, or card number, was stolen or used without your permission. They may require a police report to give you a name. You can see if you can get a copy of a receipt for the charges on your debit card and see what you get.



If you suspect someone is using your card details on Uber without your permission, you should act immediately to minimize damage and protect yourself. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Contact Your Bank or Card Issuer First

  • Call the number on the back of your card right away.
  • Report the unauthorized transactions and ask them to:
  • Block/cancel your current card and issue a new one.
  • Dispute the fraudulent charges — they will typically reverse them after investigation.
  • Monitor your account for other suspicious activity.

2. Secure Your Uber Account

  • Change your Uber account password immediately.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in the Uber app under Account → Security.
  • Check your trip history in the Uber app for any rides you didn’t take.
  • Remove any stored payment methods that may be compromised (go to Payment → Select the card → Remove).

3. Report the Fraud to Uber

  • Use the “Help” section in the Uber app or website to report unauthorized rides or payments.
  • Go to: Account → Help → Trip Issues and Refunds → “I noticed an unknown payment or trip”.
  • Uber has a dedicated team for fraud issues and will typically refund unauthorized charges once verified.

4. Check Other Accounts

  • If you reuse passwords, check other online accounts (especially email, Amazon, etc.) for suspicious activity.
  • Consider using a password manager and unique passwords for each site.

5. Monitor Your Credit Report

  • If you’re concerned about
