However, if your driver cancels or doesn't show up, you're eligible for a full refund. If you're charged a cancellation fee unfairly, you can dispute the charge through the Uber app by selecting 'Your Trips' > 'I want a refund' > 'My driver cancelled' and follow the instructions. Uber’s support team reviews these requests and can assist in processing refunds where applicable.
