5 (plus 2) Ways to Contact Uber for Help

Whether you’re on the road or taking the day off, drivers can contact Uber for support whenever they need to — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

1. In-app support

We have been working hard to reimagine the support experience for riders and drivers. To us, it's very clear – support belongs, first and foremost, in the app. And now it does: both of our iPhone and Android apps offer In-App Support. 
  • Updating your account in the app:
    If you need to update your profile information, add new vehicles, or understand your weekly payment statements, you can do all of this (and more!) directly in the Uber driver app. To do so, tap on ‘Account’. From there, you’ll be able to make changes to your account. 
  • Getting help in the app:
    Have a problem on a trip? No problem! Select ‘Help’ from the app menu and you can choose any of the options under ‘Report an Issue’, or you can go right to your ‘Last Trip’ to report an issue from your most recent trip - it’s that easy.

2. Web support at help.uber.com

In addition to Uber’s In-App Support, drivers can visit help.uber.com, the new home of Uber support on the web.

    • General Support:
      Have a problem on a trip? No problem! Select ‘Help’ from the app menu and you can choose any of the options under ‘Report an Issue’, or you can go right to your ‘Last Trip’ to report an issue from your most recent trip - it’s that easy.

5. Uber Greenlight locations

Sometimes, you just want to have a face-to-face conversation. Uber understands that. That’s why they’ve opened up Greenlight locations throughout the country. Check out the different types of Greenlight locations and what they provide for partners:

    1. Greenlight hubs: Go here to talk with an Uber expert in person. Need help getting activated? Have a question about a recent payment? You can ask your questions 1-on-1 with an Uber Expert at any Greenlight hub. This facility is Uber's official help center for both new and current driver-partners.
    2. Greenlight spots: These locations are intended for in-person assistance for new drivers. If you'd like to get assistance in the activation process, find a Greenlight spot near you. 

6. Twitter (@Uber_Support)

You can also start a dialogue with Uber by tweeting @Uber_Support.  They usually will tweet you back with preliminary guidance and then shift over to one of the other methods above.  (https://twitter.com/Uber_Support)

    My app on my phone does not let me schedule a ride earlier than the present time.  How do I get an updated app?  Do I need to delete the old one?

      Scheduling is only available in certain markets and locations.  If you are in an area Uber feels cannot guarantee you a ride, (even though it isn't guaranteed), they won't offer you an option to schedule.
