What Happens if a Scheduled Uber Cancels?

When you schedule an Uber ride, you’re not guaranteed a driver will show up at the appointed time. There are a number of reasons why an Uber driver might cancel a scheduled ride, including:

• The driver is running late. Drivers are independent contractors, and they’re not always able to predict how long it will take them to get to your pick-up location. If a driver is running late and doesn’t think they’ll be able to make it to your pick-up location in time, they may cancel your ride.
• The driver has another ride. Drivers can only accept one ride at a time. If a driver has already accepted another ride when you schedule your ride, they may have to cancel your ride to accommodate the other passenger.
• The driver has a personal emergency. Drivers are human beings, and they may have to cancel a ride due to a personal emergency, such as a family illness or a car accident.

If your Uber driver cancels your ride, you’ll be notified via the Uber app. You’ll also be given the option to cancel your ride without penalty. If you choose to cancel your ride, you’ll be refunded the fare.

If you’re concerned about your Uber ride being canceled, there are a few things you can do:

• Schedule your ride in advance. The earlier you schedule your ride, the more likely it is that a driver will be available to pick you up.
• Be flexible with your pick-up time. If you’re flexible with your pick-up time, a driver may be more likely to accept your ride.
• Be patient. Drivers are often busy, and they may not be able to get to your pick-up location right away. If your driver is running late, be patient and wait for them to arrive.

If your Uber driver does cancel your ride, don’t panic. You can easily schedule another ride or find another way to get to your destination.
