Your Uber app processes payment for any trip you take. Before requesting a ride, use your app to add a payment method of your choice to your account. When a trip ends, your preferred payment method will be charged.
Uber puts a hold on the card before you ever get in. If they calculate your ride to be about a $20 ride they will place an automatic $20-$25 “hold” on your card just to make sure they get paid. They will know right away if your card has insufficient funds.
How it works: After you've been waiting for a rider for 2 minutes, a fee will be charged to them for the time you continue to wait. After you've been waiting for 5 minutes, you can choose to cancel the trip or continue to wait. A cancellation fee will still only be charged after you've waited for at least 5 minutes.
