How Do I Report That Someone Used My Credit Card Illegally on Uber?
This article describes what to do if you think that your credit card has been used illegally for Uber rides. It provides instructions for when your credit card information has been stolen and also for when your Uber account has been hacked, which are the only two ways the illegal credit card use could occur.
There are two ways that someone could have used your credit card illegally on Uber. One is if your credit card details have been stolen and used on Uber. The other is if somebody has gained access to your Uber account and used it to order rides for themselves.
If you have been seeing Uber charges on your credit card for rides that you did not take, then follow these instructions:
- Contact your credit card company and tell them about the fraudulent charges right away. Cancel the card if it was stolen. Although state laws vary, you may have the right to dispute some or all of the charges.
- Change your PIN and passwords.
- Request a copy of your credit report to look for other fraudulent activity.
- Go to Uber's online help page, which can be found here.

If Your Uber Account was Hacked
