Why is Uber taking $1 from my account?

We currently pre-authorize the amount of $1 with every trial sign up as a way to help us prevent fraudulent activity. But don't worry! This amount will be credited back to your account within a few days as it is only meant to authenticate your credit card at registration.

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.
