Riding Off Into the Sunset? How to Permanently Delete Your Uber Account

Thinking about ditching Uber? Maybe you're switching to another ride-sharing service, or perhaps you simply don't need it anymore. Whatever the reason, deleting your Uber account is a straightforward process.

Before you start, remember that deleting your account is permanent. You'll lose your ride history, saved places, and any Uber Cash balance. If you just want a break, consider temporarily deactivating your account instead.

Ready to say goodbye? Here's how to delete your Uber account:

1. **Open the Uber app.**
2. **Tap the menu icon (usually three lines) in the top left corner.**
3. **Go to 'Settings'.**
4. **Select 'Privacy'.**
5. **Tap 'Delete Account'.**
6. **Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your identity and confirm your decision.**

Uber may require further verification, like entering a code sent to your phone or email. After submitting your request, your account will be deactivated immediately, and permanently deleted after 30 days. During this period, you can reactivate your account if you change your mind. After 30 days, your account is gone for good!

Farewell, and happy travels!
