Tap Wallet. This option may say "Payment" instead, but you'll still want to tap it.
Tap the payment method you wish to use for rides. The card you select here will be charged when you complete the ride. You must change this card before you book a ride if you wish to use a different card- If you want to add a new payment method, tap Add payment method', and follow the on- instructions to enter your debit/credit card or PayPal information.
Tap X. It's at the top of the screen, above the word "Payment" and will close the window.
Book a ride. After your ride finishes, you'll be prompted to add a tip to the overall payment and your payment method will be charged.- If you rather tip in cash, your driver may not accept it, but you could try. It's not necessary, though, as tips are mostly cashless as well. [1]

Tips
Tips and Warnings
- When you add a payment method to the Uber app, the cost of your rides will automatically be deducted once the trip is complete whenever you have a good data/internet connection.
- You can pay with a credit or debit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, vouchers, Uber Gift Cards, and even cash. Make sure the correct payment is selected when you book the ride.
- Uber is designed to be a cashless experience. Payment is only accepted through the app. A driver should never request cash or an additional form of payment from you, so at the end of the ride, you can simply get out of the car.
- Fares can vary by location and usually include a base rate, tolls/surcharges, dynamic pricing, surge rates, and other fees, and you'll see an estimate of your ride before you book it. However, additional fees like route-based adjustments or pool discounts may be added in at the last second.[2]
