If you don't pay Uber, your account gets a pending balance which blocks you from taking new rides, scheduling trips, or tipping; you'll need to pay via the app, potentially facing account deactivation if you ignore it, with Uber potentially escalating debt to collections or selling it, which could impact your credit score.
When an unsuccessful transaction occurs, you may be unable to request, schedule a ride or tip your driver. You can clear this outstanding amount directly from the Uber app. Before requesting your next ride, the app will give you a prompt to choose a payment method for the charge and pay the balance.
If the negative balance isn't resolved, there may be further actions taken to collect the deck such as sending the account to collections. Never pay collections. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you for choosing Uber.
If a charge from Uber is declined by your payment method, you may be temporarily unable to request rides. Your app will ask you to charge your outstanding balance to a payment method of your choice. If this payment method is declined, please add a new payment profile and try again.

Uber relies on automated and manual systems, including reviews by fraud specialists, to detect fraudulent activity that violates our terms and conditions. In some cases, such activity may result in deactivation of a user's account.
