An Uber driver has been charged after allegedly refusing to let a female passenger get out of his car as he drove around Brisbane for more than an hour.

Police believed the woman, 25, ordered the Uber to get to a Fortitude Valley bar about 11pm on Saturday.

It's alleged the driver, Umar Gammeda, refused to pull over, instead driving for more than an hour around inner Brisbane before steering into the Clem7 tunnel and driving in a "concerning manner".

The victim tried to get help from passing motorists, opening her door in an effort to get the driver to pull over before he stopped on the M1 and she was able to call police.
