Will deleting Uber also delete my Uber Eats account?

Yes. Uber and Uber Eats share the same account system. Deleting your Uber account also permanently deletes your Uber Eats account. There's no way to delete one without affecting the other.

What if I have outstanding payments?

You cannot delete your account with outstanding payments or unresolved payment issues. You must resolve all disputed charges and pay any outstanding fees before Uber will allow account deletion.

How do I delete Uber from my driver account?

Driver accounts have a separate deletion process. You need to contact Uber driver support directly to request driver account deletion. The rider account deletion process only applies to rider accounts.

Can I delete my account if I'm an Uber driver?

If you have both a rider and driver account, they must be deleted separately. Deleting your rider account doesn't affect your driver account. Contact Uber driver support to delete your driver account.

Important Warnings

Deletes Both Uber and Uber Eats Accounts

Uber and Uber Eats share the same account system. When you delete your Uber account, you also delete your Uber Eats account and all associated data. There's no way to delete one without the other. If you want to keep Uber Eats, don't delete your Uber account.

30-Day Reactivation Window

After requesting deletion, your account is deactivated for 30 days before permanent deletion. If you take any Uber ride or place any Uber Eats order during this period, deletion is automatically canceled and your account is fully reactivated.

Outstanding Payments Must Be Resolved

You cannot delete your Uber account if you have any outstanding payment issues, disputed charges, or unpaid trip fees. Resolve all payment issues before attempting deletion or Uber will prevent the process.

Trip History Permanently Deleted

All your trip history, receipts, and ride records are permanently deleted after the 30-day period. If you need this information for taxes, expense reports, or records, download your Uber data before deletion.

Phone Number Can Be Reused

After permanent deletion (30 days), you can use the same phone number and email to create a new Uber account. However, none of your previous trip history, payment methods, or saved locations will be restored.

Active Promotions and Credits Lost

Any promotional credits, referral bonuses, or Uber Cash in your account are permanently forfeited when you delete your account. Use any credits before deletion as they cannot be recovered or transferred.
