Says Airport Fees Were Collected But Not Paid

If you used Uber to arrange airport transportation between June 1, 2010 to November 20, 2015, you may be eligible to participate in a class action suit against the company.

The suit, Vamsi Tadepalli v. Uber Technologies Inc., has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, (Case No. 3:15-cv-04348-MEJ).

The suit alleges that Uber charged users of its app who arranged for transportation to or from a California airport fees that Uber allegedly represented were due to be paid to the airports but that were not remitted to the airports. The Action further alleges that Uber represented that it charged the fees to reimburse drivers for payment of the fees to the airport. The Action alleges that these fees were described as "Airport Fee Tolls" on receipts that riders received after the completion of a trip to or from a California airport for which such a fee was charged.

The settlement class is described as all persons who, from the dates mentioned above, used their Uber Accounts to arrange for transportation from a transportation provider to or from an airport in California and paid an Unremitted California Airport Fee Toll.

Uber denies Plaintiff's claims and contends that it and its related entities, including Rasier-CA, LLC, fully complied with the law. No court or other entity has made a judgment or other determination of any liability or wrongdoing by Uber or related entity.
