Uber is a multinational online transportation network based in the United States.
What you need to know about contacting Uber
Contacting Uber customer service in the USA can be done through various methods depending on the type of issue you’re experiencing. Here’s what you need to know:
1. In-app support
The most common and efficient way to contact Uber customer service is through the app. Uber’s in-app support system is designed to handle a wide range of inquiries and issues, such as ride-related concerns, billing problems, lost items, and account issues.
Steps to contact support in the Uber app:
- Open the Uber app on your phone.
- Tap on the three horizontal lines (menu) in the top-left corner (on Android) or your profile picture (on iOS).
- Go to “help” or “your trips” (depending on the issue).
- If your issue relates to a specific trip, select the relevant trip.
- Select a help topic that best matches your issue, or scroll down to find options for common issues like “I lost an item” or “Billing issue.”
- If the suggested articles don’t resolve your issue, tap “contact uber support” and follow the prompts to submit your inquiry.
Common issues to report via in-app support:
- Problems with rides (e.g., pricing issues, safety concerns)
- Payment or billing discrepancies
- Lost items
- Account issues (e.g., login problems)
2. Uber help website
You can also visit the Uber Help website, where you can find FAQs and submit a request for assistance. The process is similar to the in-app support method, and you can select your issue from a list of common topics.
- Visit: help.uber.com
- Browse the topics or search for your specific issue.
- If needed, you can submit a request or chat with a representative.
3. Phone support
Uber offers phone support for specific issues, but it’s generally reserved for more urgent matters or complex inquiries that cannot be resolved through in-app or website support.
Uber phone support numbers:
- For riders: (800) 593-7069
- For drivers: (800) 593-7069 (same number for drivers and riders)
This is typically available 24/7, but the wait times may vary depending on the issue and volume of calls.
Note: You may not always get a direct human representative right away and may need to navigate automated menus.
4. Uber social media channels
Uber also has customer support through its social media channels. If you’re unable to get a satisfactory response through other methods, you can try reaching out on platforms like Twitter or Facebook.
It’s often quicker to get a response through Twitter by sending a direct message (DM), especially for non-urgent inquiries or for providing feedback.
5. Uber’s 24/7 Support
Uber claims to provide 24/7 customer support, so you can reach out at (800) 593-7069 any time, especially if you’re experiencing issues like safety concerns, accidents, or emergencies.
6. Driver support
Drivers have access to additional resources, including an in-app “Help” section where they can submit issues related to their account, earnings, and trip-related problems. There is also a specialized support center for drivers that can be accessed through the app or online.
7. Email support (limited use)
While Uber does not typically offer direct email support, some users have found emailing support@uber.com to be effective for specific issues. However, using the in-app or website methods is recommended for faster service.
8. Escalating issues
If your issue is not resolved through the standard support methods, you can ask for your case to be escalated. This may involve speaking with a supervisor or more experienced support staff to resolve complex or ongoing issues.
