How to submit a complaint with
Uber
 

The fastest way to contact Uber about a complaint is through the app: tap “Help,” pick your trip, and follow the prompts to report an issue. If you’re unable to access the app, visit help.uber.com to file online.

For serious issues, the in-app emergency feature or 000 is recommended. Social media support (Twitter, Facebook) is a last resort (private message only).

Keep ride details handy and screenshot any errors for a smoother process.

What happens after you submit a complaint to Uber ?

  • Most Uber complaints receive a response within 24 hours.
  • Simple fare or billing issues are often resolved the same day via the app or email.
  • Safety concerns or account-related problems can take up to 5 business days.
  • Escalated issues are assigned to a specialised team for further handling.
  • All communication is managed through the app’s “Support Messages” section.
  • Each case is given a tracking reference number.
  • If the initial resolution isn’t satisfactory, replying and following up is encouraged.

Common complaints against
Uber

How to escalate a complaint with Uber

Still unresolved? Here’s what to do:

  • Ask for escalation in the support thread. Use keywords like "safety issue" or "financial loss".

  • Try another channel like Twitter, Facebook, or even the Driver Support line (1300 091 272).

  • Clarify your expectations in writing: refund, apology, account fix.

  • Persistence works: Uber’s records show your history and multiple attempts often lead to action.

Regulatory & Ombudsman Information for Uber

 If Uber’s internal process fails:

  • ACCC: Report misleading conduct or systemic breaches (not one-off disputes).

  • Fair Trading (NSW, VIC, QLD etc.): Escalate individual refund or service issues.

  • Transport Regulators: Report serious safety or compliance problems.

  • AFCA: Handles issues related to Uber Cash, refunds involving payment platforms.

  • Small Claims Courts: Final step for unresolved, financially impactful disputes.

📎 Pro Tip: Keep all evidence (dates, messages, screenshots) for any external escalation.
