Unfortunately, Uber doesn't provide a way for customers to call customer service. Instead, they encourage users to contact them through the app or the contact form found in the Help pages on the Uber website. Uber offers two separate help pages, one for drivers and the other for riders. Make sure you are visiting the right pages to ensure you're getting the correct information for restoring your Uber account.

  1. Go to settings in the menu of the Uber app

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Uber Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Uber in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What Do I Do If I Can't Remember My Old Email on My Uber Account? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
