Change your Uber address in the app or on the web

You can update your home, work, or saved address in Uber through the app on your phone or through the website on a computer. The process takes less than a minute. Open Uber, go to your account settings, find the address section, and enter the new location. Uber will use this address for ride requests, delivery orders, and account information.

If you are changing your home address permanently, update it as soon as possible so that future rides start from the correct location. If you are just heading somewhere else for the day, you can change your pickup location right before you request a ride instead of editing your saved address.

Key Takeaways

  • Your saved home address in Uber is used as the default starting point for rides, so updating it ensures pickups happen at the right location.
  • You can change your address through the app by tapping your profile picture, selecting "Saved Places," and editing your home address.
  • On the Uber website, go to Account Settings and look for the address or location section to make the same change.
  • If you only need a different pickup location for one ride, you can change it in the ride request screen without editing your saved address.
  • Uber will ask you to confirm the new address before saving it, so you can catch typos before they affect your rides.

Change your address in the Uber app on your phone

Open the Uber app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner (on iPhone) or top left corner (on Android). This takes you to your account menu. Look for "Saved Places" or "Home" — the exact wording depends on your app version, but it will be near the top of the menu.

Tap on "Home" or your current saved address. A map will appear showing your current location. Tap the address field at the top and type in your new address. As you type, Uber will show you matching addresses. Select the correct one from the list. Review the location on the map to make sure it is accurate, then tap "Confirm" or "Save." Your new address is now set.

Change your address on the Uber website

Go to uber.com and sign in to your account. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings." Look for a section labeled "Home Address," "Saved Places," or "Location" — the label varies depending on your region and account type.

Click on the address field and enter your new address. Uber will show you suggestions as you type. Click on the correct address from the list. Review the location to confirm it is right, then click "Save" or "Update." The change takes effect when ready.

Change your pickup location for a single ride

If you do not want to change your saved home address but need a different pickup spot for one trip, you can do this in the ride request screen. Open Uber and tap the address bar at the top where it shows your current location. Type in the address or landmark where you want to be picked up.

Uber will show you matching locations. Tap the one you want. The map will update to show the new pickup point. Request your ride as normal. This change only affects this one ride — your saved home address stays the same.

What happens when you change your address

When you update your address, Uber uses the new location for all future ride requests unless you change it again. If you have a saved work address as well, that stays separate and unchanged. Your payment method, phone number, and other account details remain the same.

If you are moving to a different city or country, check whether Uber operates in that location before you move. Some areas do not have Uber service. You can also update your phone number and payment method in Account Settings if those change along with your move.

Fix a typo or incorrect address

If you notice your address is wrong after you have saved it, go back to your saved address in the app or website and edit it the same way you did the first time. Tap or click on the address, clear the field, and type the correct one. Confirm the new address on the map before saving.

If a ride has already been requested to the wrong address, contact the driver through the app chat as soon as possible and let them know the correct pickup location. Most drivers can adjust their route if you tell them before they arrive. For future rides, make sure your saved address is correct so this does not happen again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have more than one saved address in Uber?

Yes. Most Uber accounts let you save a home address and a work address. You can switch between them when you request a ride, or set one as your default. Some account types may allow additional saved locations — check your Saved Places section to see how many you can add.

Will changing my address affect my Uber Eats orders?

Yes. Uber Eats uses the same saved address as your ride account. If you change your home address, future food deliveries will go to the new location. You can change the delivery address for a single order right before you place it, just like with rides.

What if Uber does not recognize my new address?

Type the address slowly and check for typos. If Uber still does not find it, try entering the street address without an apartment or unit number first, then add those details after. If the address is very new or in a rural area, Uber may not have it in its system yet — try using a nearby intersection or landmark instead.

Do I need to update my address if I am just visiting somewhere?

No. You can change your pickup location for individual rides without changing your saved address. This is useful if you are traveling or staying somewhere temporarily. Your saved home address will stay the same until you change it again.
