Change your address in the Uber Eats app or website in under two minutes

You can change your delivery address on Uber Eats by opening the app, tapping your account icon, selecting "Addresses," and either editing an existing address or adding a new one. The change takes effect when ready for your next order. If you have an active order, you cannot change the address through the app — you must contact Uber Eats support directly, and they can move it only if the driver has not yet picked up your food.

The process is the same whether you use the mobile app or the website. You do not need to create a new account or log out and back in. Any address you save stays in your account for future orders, so you can switch between home, work, or other locations without re-entering them each time.

Key Takeaways

  • Open the Uber Eats app, tap your account icon in the bottom right, and select "Addresses" to add or change where food is delivered.
  • You can save multiple addresses and switch between them at checkout, so you do not have to delete your home address to order to a different location.
  • If you have an active order, use the "Contact Support" button in the app to ask the driver or Uber Eats to reroute — this works only if the driver has not picked up your food yet.
  • Changing your address in your account settings does not affect orders already placed; it only changes where future orders will go by default.

Steps to add or change your primary address

Start by opening the Uber Eats app on your phone or going to ubereats.com on a computer. Tap or click the account icon — on the app, this is in the bottom right corner; on the website, it is in the top right. Select "Addresses" from the menu.

If you already have an address saved, you will see it listed. Tap or click the pencil icon next to it to edit. Change the street address, apartment number, or any other detail, then tap "Save." If you want to add a second address instead of replacing the first one, look for an "Add address" or "+" button and enter the new location. Both addresses will stay in your account, and you can pick which one to use each time you order.

After you save, the app will ask you to confirm the exact location on a map. Make sure the pin is placed at your front door or the correct entrance — this helps the driver find you faster. Tap "Confirm" when the location is correct.

How to change the address for an order that is already placed

If you have already placed an order and realize you gave the wrong address, open the order in your app. You will see a "Contact Support" button or a chat icon. Tap it and explain that you need to change the delivery address. Tell the support agent your new address and ask if the driver has picked up your food yet.

If the driver has not yet picked up your order, Uber Eats can usually reroute it to the new address. If the driver is already on the way with your food, rerouting may not be possible, and you may be offered a refund instead. The sooner you contact support after placing the order, the better your chances of a successful change.

Do not try to call or text the driver directly — use the in-app support chat, because that creates a record of your request and gives Uber Eats the ability to help if something goes wrong.

Saving multiple addresses for quick switching

Uber Eats lets you save up to five addresses in your account. This is useful if you order from home, work, a gym, or a friend's house regularly. Each address stays saved until you delete it, so you can switch between them without typing anything in.

When you place an order, the app shows your saved addresses at checkout. Tap the one you want, and your order will go there instead. You can also set a default address — the one that appears first — by opening "Addresses" in your account and tapping the three-dot menu next to the address you want to make primary.

Fixing address errors that cause delivery problems

If your address is incomplete, missing an apartment number, or pointing to the wrong location on the map, the driver may have trouble finding you. Common problems include a missing unit number, a street name that is slightly wrong, or a pin placed in the middle of the street instead of at your door.

If a driver is already on the way and cannot find your location, use the in-app chat to send them a photo or more detailed directions — for example, "I'm in the blue building on the left side of the street" or "The entrance is around the back." If the order is cancelled because of a bad address, you can edit your address in your account settings and place a new order right away.

To prevent this, always check the map pin before confirming your address. If it is in the wrong spot, drag the pin to the correct location. Include your full apartment, suite, or unit number in the address field itself, not just in the delivery notes.

Changing your address on the Uber Eats website instead of the app

If you prefer to use a computer, go to ubereats.com and log into your account. Click your account icon in the top right corner and select "Addresses." The steps are identical to the app: click the pencil icon to edit an existing address, or click "Add address" to save a new one. Confirm the location on the map, and your change is saved.

Any address you add or change on the website appears in your app when ready, and vice versa. You do not have to do anything to sync them — they are linked to your account, not to a specific device.

What happens to your old address after you change it

When you edit an address in your account, the old one is replaced with the new one — it does not stay saved. If you think you might order to both locations, add a new address instead of editing the old one. That way, both stay in your account and you can pick between them at checkout.

If you delete an address by mistake, you can add it back anytime by tapping "Add address" and typing it in again. Uber Eats does not keep a history of deleted addresses, so you will have to enter it from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my address after the driver has picked up my food?

Not through the app. Once the driver has your order, rerouting is usually not possible. Contact support when ready through the in-app chat and explain the situation — they may offer a refund, but a delivery to a different address is unlikely at that point.

Do I have to delete my home address to order to a different location?

No. Save both addresses in your account and pick which one you want at checkout. You can have up to five addresses saved at once, so you can switch between home, work, and other places without deleting anything.

What if the map pin is in the wrong spot?

Drag the pin to the correct location before you confirm the address. Make sure it points to your front door or the entrance the driver should use. If you save an address with the pin in the wrong place, you can edit it later and move the pin to the right spot.

Will changing my address affect orders I already placed?

No. Changing your address in your account settings only affects new orders you place after the change. Orders that are already placed will go to the address you gave when you ordered them. To change an active order, contact support through the app.

How long does it take for a new address to show up in my account?

when ready. As soon as you tap "Save" and confirm the location on the map, the address is in your account and ready to use for your next order.
