Step-by-Step Guide for Deleting Your Account Using Web Browser
Step 1
To delete your account from a web browser, go to help.uber.com/drivers and log in with your driver credentials.
You must log in from a web browser to complete the process. If you’re not sure if you are logged in or not, try clicking the “log out” link at the top of the help site. If this doesn’t work, log out of your current session and then try again by going to www.uber.com/drivers and clicking “Log In” (or “Log Out”).
Step 2
Once logged into your account, enter your username and password on the right side of the screen, then click Log In.
Step 3
Next, you will need to go to the Delete Page. You will be prompted to answer some questions about why you want to delete your account. They only require Ýes’ and ‘No’answers except for the last question, whereby you will be required to type in your answer, but it is not mandatory.
Step 4
After answering the questions, you will tap on the submit button and await an email from Uber acknowledging your request to delete your account. Uber will email you a link to close your account. When you click the link, you will be redirected to an Uber page asking you to confirm that you want to close your account. It’s an essential step; once it’s done, there is no way back.
You might have to re-enter your password to confirm the action. Once verified, Uber will ask if the driver owed any outstanding payments or debts before they can process the request for deletion of the account. If the driver owes any due payments or debts, then Uber will take care of it first before proceeding with deactivating and deleting your account.
If all of these checks pass successfully and no issues arise following;
- Verification of payment details
- Debt clearance request submitted by the driver (in case there were any)
Then they would send out an email confirmation message informing about the successful termination/deletion of the Uber Driver Account.

Once that happens, you’ll receive an email confirmation informing you when your account will be deleted completely (as well as instructions on how).
If you want to make a new Uber driver account after deleting one, that’s not a problem. You will have to sign up. However, suppose you try to create an account with the same email address as one that has already been deleted. In that case, we’ll ask you to verify your identity by sending us a government-issued ID before we can complete your signup.
Manage Uber Driver Account
Always ensure that all of your rides and deliveries are completed or canceled. If you go into the app on the phone linked to the driver account, but it isn’t being used for rides or deliveries anymore, it may show up as active on your Settings page even though it’s not being used anymore. You may not be able to close the account until this happens.
