Moving abroad - change of service availability
Rule and action: If you move to a country where Uber One is not available, you may cancel the membership. Provide proof of new address such as a utility bill or tenancy agreement. This follows the contract termination rights under general consumer contract principles.
Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for online contract changes and termination.
Price increase
Rule and action: If Uber increases the membership price before the renewal date and you do not accept the new price, you can cancel. Provide a screenshot of the price change notice or billing statement showing the increased price.
Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Competition and Markets Authority guidance on unfair auto-renewal terms.
Death of the subscriber
Rule and action: The subscription may be cancelled by the estate. Provide a copy of the death certificate and proof of executor/administrator status. Contact support via in-app messaging or send a registered letter including these documents.
Legitimate ground - unauthorised payments
Rule and action: For unauthorised payments or continuous payment authority disputes, the Payment Services Regulations 2017 entitle the consumer to a refund. Provide bank statements, card replacement records and any correspondence with the bank. The Financial Ombudsman Service decision DRN-4771207 shows disputes about ongoing subscription debits despite card replacement.
Applicable law: Payment Services Regulations 2017. If bank intervention is needed, escalate through your card issuer's dispute or Section 75 where applicable.
End of commitment / no minimum commitment
Rule and action: Uber One has no minimum commitment. Cancel at least 48 hours before renewal. No cancellation fees apply. If you are within a billing period, benefits typically continue until the renewal date unless a refund is issued.
Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for cancellation timing and refund obligations.
Cooling-off period
Rule and action: New online contracts have a 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. You may cancel within 14 days for a full refund, except where you have expressly consumed digital content or agreed to immediate provision. If you used Uber One benefits, a refund may be reduced proportionally.
Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
