How to Report an Uber Driver for a Missed Pickup

A no-show from your Uber driver can be frustrating, but thankfully, there are steps you can take to report the incident and ensure a swift resolution. Following a clear process helps Uber address the issue and prevent similar problems in the future.

Immediate Action: Cancel Your Trip and Document Everything

The first and most crucial step is to cancel your trip immediately within the Uber app. This action automatically documents the time and location of the missed pickup, providing vital information for your report. Don’t wait; a cancelled trip is your initial record of the incident.

Collect Crucial Details

Beyond the app’s automatic record, gather as much information as possible. Note down:

• Driver’s details: This includes the driver’s name (if visible in the app) and the driver’s Uber driver ID, if available. Even if the driver’s name isn’t displayed, record any identifying information you can remember, such as details of their vehicle.
• Time of the missed pickup: Precisely record the time the driver failed to show up, both the time of the scheduled pickup and the time you cancelled.
• Location of the missed pickup: Note the specific location where you were expecting the pickup. GPS coordinates, if available, are highly helpful for accurate reporting.

Report the Issue Directly to Uber Customer Support

After gathering the necessary information, report the issue directly to Uber’s customer support. This is vital to ensure the issue is escalated and handled appropriately. Follow these steps:

• Contact Uber through the app: Many Uber support options, including live chat and email, are accessible within the app. Use the available channels to provide all the details you’ve gathered, clearly outlining the situation. Describe the circumstances and include the time, location, and driver information as completely as possible.
• Be clear and concise: Clearly explain the issue, using factual details. Avoid emotional language, focus on the objective events.
• Keep copies of correspondence: Retain copies of any communication with Uber’s customer support. This documentation can be valuable if you need to follow up on the case.
• Be prepared to follow up: If you don’t hear back immediately or feel the issue isn’t being addressed, be prepared to follow up with customer support.

By immediately cancelling your trip, gathering accurate details, and directly reporting the issue to Uber, you can increase the chances of a prompt resolution and appropriate action being taken against the driver. Your cooperation helps maintain a reliable and positive user experience for everyone using the Uber platform.
