Payment help

Two amounts in your bank account?

Your bank may show a temporary hold as well as your ride payment. The hold is money set aside, not an extra charge.

Common questions

Why is money reserved?

We check that funds are available before your ride. Your receipt shows the final ride cost.

Will the hold be released within five days?

Your bank may take longer. The five days determine when umob can start checking your payment.

My bank says I was charged twice. What should I do?

Send a request and tell us what your bank said. We’ll check the payments and contact you.

Do I need my booking details?

Open the help link in your confirmation email. Your booking is included automatically.

Check your receipt for the final ride cost.
