Why is Uber deducting money?

At the start of a trip, Uber may place a temporary authorization hold for the upfront price of the trip on your payment method. This will show up as a “pending” charge on your account's payment method. When the trip completes, this authorization hold is converted to a charge for the final trip price.

If someone uses my credit card to call Uber, can Uber tell me the name of the person? No. Anytime a credit card is used in a suspected fraudulent manner, very little information about the person is given, even if the company has the person's full bio in front of them. The reason is simple.

Sometimes, an authorization hold doesn't get processed at the same speed as the actual charge, making it appear as though you were charged twice. This does not mean you were charged twice. This is because when you first placed the order, we put a temporary charge, which acts as a hold, with your payment method.
