Uber

In short

Uber has no customer service phone line for riders; every ride or Uber Eats problem goes through Help in the app or on help.uber.com while signed in. Dispute a wrong charge there within 30 days, or Uber's Terms say you waive the right to dispute it later. End Uber One in the app (Uber One, Manage Membership, End Membership) before the cycle renews. The FTC and 21 states plus DC are suing Uber over Uber One sign-ups and cancellation; the case is pending.

What tends to work

• Open Help in the app, select the exact trip or order, and report the charge problem inside the 30-day window. Uber U.S. Terms of Use
• If you cancel Uber One within 24 hours before the renewal day and the next payment has already processed, Uber issues an automatic refund. Uber One terms
