Hey there! So, you’ve been enjoying the perks of Uber One, but maybe it’s time to part ways. Whether you’re cutting back on subscriptions or just not using it enough, canceling your Uber One membership is super easy. No stress, no hassle.
What Is Uber One, Anyway?
Before we get to the cancellation part, let’s quickly recap what Uber One is. It’s a premium subscription from Uber that costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. It’s designed for frequent Uber riders and Uber Eats users. The benefits? Pretty sweet:

- $0 delivery fees on eligible food and grocery orders (usually over $15 for food, $30 for groceries).
- Up to 10% off eligible deliveries and pickup orders.
- 5% off eligible Uber rides.
- Access to top-rated drivers and priority customer support.
Sounds great, right? But if you’re not using these perks enough, it might not be worth the cost. That’s where canceling membership comes in.
Why Cancel Uber One?
People cancel Uber One for all sorts of reasons. Maybe you’re not ordering food as often, or you’re switching to another ride-sharing app. Or, let’s be real, maybe you just want to save a few bucks. Whatever your reason, canceling is straightforward. The key is to do it the right way to avoid unexpected charges. Let’s break it down.
When Should You Cancel?
Timing is everything. Uber One renews automatically, so you’ll want to cancel at least 48 hours before your next billing date to avoid being charged for another cycle. If you’re on a free trial, cancel 48 hours before it ends to prevent the subscription from rolling over to a paid plan. Don’t worry if you’re cutting it close; I’ll explain what to do later.
Here’s a quick table to keep things clear:
| Membership Type | Cancel By | What Happens After |
|---|---|---|
| Free Trial | 48 hours before trial ends | Benefits stop immediately |
| Monthly Plan | 48 hours before billing date | Benefits continue until end of billing cycle |
| Annual Plan | 48 hours before renewal | Benefits continue until end of billing cycle |
How to Cancel Uber One: Step-by-Step
Ready to cancel? You can do it through the Uber or Uber Eats app, the Uber website, or by contacting support. Below, I’ll cover the most common method—using the app—since it’s quick and user-friendly. If you prefer the website or need to contact support, I’ll cover those too.
Canceling Through the Uber App
Most people use the Uber app, and it’s the easiest way to cancel. Follow these steps:
- Open the Uber App: Launch the app on your phone or tablet. Make sure you’re logged into the account with the Uber One membership.
- Go to Your Account: Tap the profile icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen (it might be your picture or a person icon).
- Find Uber One: In the account menu, look for “Uber One” and tap it. This takes you to your membership details.
- Manage Membership: Scroll down and tap “Manage Membership.” You’ll see options to pause or cancel.
- End Membership: Tap “End Membership.” The app might ask why you’re canceling (this is optional). Confirm by tapping “End Membership” again.
- Check Confirmation: You’ll get a message confirming your cancellation. Your benefits will stay active until the end of your current billing cycle (unless you’re on a free trial).
That’s it! You’re done in just a few taps.
Canceling Through the Uber Eats App
If you mainly use Uber Eats, you can cancel through that app too. The steps are almost the same:
- Open Uber Eats: Launch the Uber Eats app and log in.
- Access Account Settings: Tap the profile icon at the bottom-right corner.
- Select Uber One: Find and tap “Uber One” in the menu.
- Manage Membership: Tap “Manage Membership” or “End Membership.”
- Confirm Cancellation: Follow the prompts to confirm. You’re all set!
Canceling Through the Uber Website
Prefer using a computer? No problem. Here’s how to cancel via the Uber website:
- Visit the Website: Go to www.uber.com and log into your account.
- Access Your Profile: Click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select “Account” or “Profile.”
- Find Uber One: Look for the “Uber One” option in your account settings.
- Cancel Membership: Click “Manage Membership” and then “End Membership.” Confirm your choice.
- Verify: You’ll see a confirmation message, and Uber will email you to confirm.
What If You’re Within 48 Hours of Renewal?
If you’re less than 48 hours from your next billing date, the “End Membership” button might not show up in the app. Don’t panic! You’ll need to contact Uber’s customer support. Here’s how:
- In-App Help: Open the Uber app, go to “Account,” then “Help.” Look for “Uber One” issues and select “Contact Support.”
- Website Support: Visit help.uber.com and use the chat feature or submit a request.
- Phone Support: Call Uber at 800-253-9377 (available 24/7). Have your account details ready, like your account number and the last four digits of your payment method.
Support can cancel your membership, but if you’re charged, they might not refund you. More on refunds later.
Tips to Avoid Extra Charges
Canceling is easy, but a few things can trip you up. Here are some tips to keep your wallet happy:
- Check Your Billing Date: Log into the app and go to “Uber One” to see your next renewal date. Cancel at least 48 hours before.
- Set a Reminder: If you’re on a free trial, mark your calendar to cancel before it converts to a paid plan.
- Double-Check Confirmation: After canceling, look for a confirmation email or in-app message to ensure it went through.
- Monitor Your Bank Account: Watch for unexpected charges. If you see one, contact Uber support within 60 days to report unauthorized charges.
Can You Get a Refund?
Refunds depend on your situation. Uber’s policy is strict, but here’s the breakdown:
- Free Trial: If you cancel during the trial and get charged, contact support. Charges often happen if you miss the 48-hour window.
- Monthly or Annual Plans: No refunds, even if you cancel right after being charged. You’ll keep benefits until the billing cycle ends.
- Special Cases: In some countries (like Japan), you might get a full refund if you cancel an annual plan within 30 days and haven’t used benefits. Check your local Uber website for details.
If you think you were charged unfairly, reach out to support via the app or website. Be polite but firm, and provide details like your account number and charge date.
What Happens After You Cancel?
Once you cancel, your Uber One benefits will stop at the end of your current billing cycle (except for free trials, where they stop immediately). You’ll no longer get discounts, $0 delivery fees, or priority support. If you change your mind, you can resubscribe anytime through the app or website. No hard feelings!
Common Pitfalls to Watch Out For
Some users run into issues when canceling. Here’s how to avoid them:
- Dark Patterns: Uber’s app might ask why you’re canceling or suggest pausing instead. Stay focused and select “End Membership.”
- Locked Accounts: If you dispute a charge with your bank, Uber might lock your account until the balance is paid. Contact support to resolve this.
- Auto-Renewal: Always turn off auto-renewal explicitly to prevent surprise charges.
