When will Uber or Lyft charge me extra?

Passengers will be charged a significant fee on their Uber or Lyft bill if they vomit en route to their location.

Lyft and Uber users are sure to think twice about having an accident on the way to their destination.

The Ride Problems and Refunds section of the Uber website lists the charges that can apply if a passenger vomits in their driver’s vehicle.

“Drivers are responsible for damage to the inside or outside of a vehicle caused by incidents such as vomiting or food spills,” the Uber website states.

What types of fees are charged by Uber or Lyft?

Items left by a passenger that are easy to clean will not be charged extra by Uber.

However, minor food contamination and beverage spills are an additional $20 to the customer’s fare bill.

Anything more than a minor spill or cleanup will result in an additional fee that ranges from $40 to $80.
