Why do I have 2 Uber charges?

Why do I have two charges for the same trip? This can happen if you change your destination while you are on your trip, which may cause the final fare to be higher than the initial authorization amount. If a second authorization hold for the final full amount is unsuccessful, your bill may be split into two receipts.



If you see two charges from Uber for a single trip, it is most likely that one of them is a "temporary authorization hold" and the other is the actual final fare. When you request a ride, Uber often places a hold on your account for the upfront price to ensure the payment method is valid. This hold typically appears as "Pending" and is usually voided once the trip is completed, although it may take a few business days for your bank to remove it from your statement. Another possibility is that the final price changed due to a route change, tolls, or a tip, resulting in a secondary charge for the adjustment. If both charges appear as "Completed" or "Settled" after several days, you should contact Uber Support through the app to request a refund for the duplicate.

Sometimes this happens because the rider entered the wrong destination, in which case it makes sense that the upfront price shouldn't apply. However, it can also happen when the driver takes a really bad route, or makes a few wrong turns.
