Instructions on how to file complaints and contact Uber support

Filing a complaint with Uber is essential for resolving issues such as incorrect charges, traffic-related problems, or inappropriate behavior by drivers. The platform concentrates all support digitally, using the application itself.

To initiate contact, the user must access the 'Activity' section, select the trip that requires reporting, and choose the 'User Support' option to communicate with Uber. It is important to note that the platform does not provide an official WhatsApp number or channel for general passenger support.

The process to dispute a trip or report a driver can be done quickly and intuitively within the app. When opening Uber on the mobile phone, the user should go to the 'Activity' tab at the bottom of the main menu, browse the history, and tap on the specific trip they wish to complain about.

Next, when scrolling through the trip details screen, one must click on 'User Support' to see the available topics for the complaint. Alternatively, one can choose 'More options' to send a more detailed message to Uber support.

In addition to route problems, the app allows reporting operational failures, incorrect charges, and serious conduct. If an item is lost during the trip, the user can access the 'Activity' tab, select the ride, and tap on 'Find lost item' to contact the driver.

If the cell phone itself is lost or there is no response within 24 hours, it is recommended to access the account via the service website to formalize the report. Users should be aware that Uber charges a return fee to cover the travel costs of the partner driver.

In Brazil, there is no 0800 channel for passengers to contact Uber or register complaints. Official support and problem resolution occur exclusively through the app or the Web Help Center. Toll-free lines, such as 0800 006 8086, are intended only for emergency support for partner drivers during trips, and there is no traditional telephone ombudsman.

Any number published on the internet as an official Uber phone number for complaints may be a sign of fraud. There is no official WhatsApp number for the general public in Brazil to resolve personal trip issues; all channels operate via the in-app or website Help Center. The only exception for messages is intended for Uber Business managers and employees, via the international number +1 925-378-4197, warning against sharing passwords or verification codes.
