Hi Uber Eats team, I'm writing to cancel the subscription on my account, [your account email]. I'm giving notice ahead of my next renewal date and expect no further charges from that date. Under the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule, cancellation must be available through a channel as simple as the one I signed up through. Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken. Best, [your name]
Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

For Uber One memberships, the subscription fee is non-refundable once the billing cycle starts, though Uber may auto-refund charges if you cancelled less than 24 hours before renewal. Cancel ≥48 hours before renewal in-app to avoid being charged. Refund decisions are case-by-case and Uber tracks claim history, repeat refund requests can be blocked.
“Except where prohibited by law, your subscription charge is non-refundable once your billing cycle begins.”

Does Uber Eats charge a cancellation fee?
We found no cancellation fee in Uber Eats’s published terms. On a rolling plan you simply pay to the end of the current billing period and nothing after. If you’re inside a fixed minimum term, check your signup email for the end date, cancelling early is where fees usually hide.
What doesn’t work for cancelling Uber Eats
Based on 3 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Calling a customer-service phone number to cancel Uber Eats, Uber explicitly states it does not offer a customer-service phone number for Uber Eats; the help page directs users to the in-app form.
- ✕ Reporting missing items more than 48 hours after delivery, Uber's wrong-or-missing-items policy says requests outside the 48-hour window are not eligible for a refund.
- ✕ Cancelling Uber One in-app within 48 hours of renewal, Within the 48-hour window, the in-app cancel flow no longer prevents the charge, you must contact support.
- ✕ Expecting a prorated refund mid-cycle on annual Uber One, Membership fees are explicitly non-refundable on a pro-rata basis once the billing cycle begins.
- ✕ Filing repeated in-app refund claims, Uber tracks customer refund history and blocks users it flags as abusing the refund policy from submitting further claims.
Cancelled Uber Eats but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Uber Eats, treat it as not cancelled. Email
eats@uber.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Uber Eats’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Uber Eats charges again.
How Uber Eats will try to keep you
Uber Eats may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Offer to pause Uber One instead of cancelling”
You say: Decline the pause. State clearly: 'I want to End Membership, not pause. Please confirm cancellation in writing and the effective date.'
They’ll say: “Bot offers a small credit (e.g. 5%) on next order instead of a refund”
You say: Reply 'speak to an agent' or 'talk to a human' to escape the bot, then ask for a full refund to original payment method, citing the 48-hour reporting policy and attaching photo evidence.
They’ll say: “Automated 'you are not eligible for a refund' message after several past claims”
You say: Escalate by asking the agent to flag for supervisor review, post publicly tagging @UberEats and @Uber_Support with order photos, then dispute with your card issuer if still refused.
They’ll say: “Account lock-out after a chargeback”
You say: Get written confirmation of any promised refund before paying disputed balances, multiple users report being charged but only partially refunded after paying to unlock.
They’ll say: “Long, multi-screen Uber One cancel flow”
You say: The FTC alleges Uber's cancel flow requires up to 23 screens and 32 actions, keep tapping End Membership through every retention prompt until you receive a written cancellation confirmation.
Your rights when cancelling
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.
United States
- FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Uber Eats to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up, same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
- California ARL (auto-renewal law)Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.
Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackYour bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Uber Eats has ~45 days to defend.
Rights in other regions (United Kingdom, European Union)
United Kingdom
- Consumer Contracts Regulations 201314-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Uber Eats’s own policy.
- Consumer Rights Act 2015Services must be as described.
If Uber Eats’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.
European Union
- Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Uber Eats must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
Delete your Uber Eats account (not just cancel)
Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.
If there’s no delete option in Uber Eats’s account settings, email eats@uber.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
Common questions about cancelling Uber Eats
