Change your home address in Uber in three steps

Open the Uber app and tap the account icon (your profile picture) in the bottom right corner. Tap "Home" under the Saved Places section. If you haven't set a home address yet, you'll see an empty field; if you have one saved, you'll see the current address. Tap the address field, type or search for your new address, and tap to confirm. The app saves the change when ready.

Your home address in Uber is a saved location shortcut, not your account address. It appears as a quick-pick option when you request a ride, so you don't have to type the same address every time. Changing it does not update your payment method address, phone number, or any other account information — only where the app suggests as your starting point for rides.

Key Takeaways

  • Tap your profile picture, then "Home" under Saved Places, then the address field to change where Uber suggests you're starting from.
  • Your home address in the app is a convenience shortcut and does not change your billing address or account details.
  • You can set multiple saved locations (Home, Work, Gym) and switch between them when requesting rides.
  • If you move permanently, update your payment method address separately in your account settings so your card and Uber match.

Where to find the home address field

The home address field lives in your profile, not in the ride request screen. Tap the account icon in the bottom right of the app — it's a circle with your profile picture or initials. You'll see your name and email at the top, and below that a section called "Saved Places" with options like Home, Work, and Favorite.

If you've never set a home address, the Home field will be blank. If you have one saved, it will show the current address. Either way, tap on it to open the address editor. The app will let you search by typing, or you can allow location permission and tap the map icon to pin your location directly.

How to search for and confirm your new address

When you tap the Home field, a search box appears at the top of the screen. Type your new address — you can enter the full street address, just the street name, or even a landmark or business name nearby. As you type, Uber shows matching addresses below. Tap the one that matches your home.

Once you tap the address, the app zooms to that location on the map and shows you the exact pin point. If the pin is slightly off (for example, it's pointing to the middle of the street instead of your building entrance), you can drag the pin to the correct spot. Tap "Confirm" or the checkmark button to save. The change takes effect when ready.

Setting multiple saved locations

Uber lets you save more than just a home address. In the same Saved Places section, you can add Work, Gym, or any other location you visit regularly. Each one appears as a quick option when you open the ride request screen, so you can tap "Work" instead of typing the address every time.

To add a second location, tap the "+" icon or "Add" button next to the location type you want to save. Follow the same search and confirm steps. You can edit or delete any saved location the same way you edit Home — tap it, change the address, and confirm. Uber stores all of them until you remove them.

Why your home address in Uber is separate from your account address

The home address you save in Uber is purely for convenience when requesting rides. It does not connect to your billing address, payment method, or the address Uber has on file for your account. If you move and want your official account address to match your new home, you need to update that separately in your account settings.

To change your account address (the one tied to your payment method and account records), go to your profile, tap "Account," then "Legal Name and Address." Update the address there. This is the address Uber uses for tax documents, receipts, and payment verification. Changing your Saved Home address does not affect this, and changing your account address does not automatically update your Saved Home location.

What happens if you don't update your home address

If you move but don't change your saved home address in Uber, the app will still suggest your old location when you open it. You'll have to type or search for your new address every time you request a ride. It's not a problem — the ride will still go where you tell it to go — but it's an extra step you can avoid by updating the saved location.

The bigger issue is if your account address (the one on file for billing) doesn't match your actual home. Some payment methods flag mismatched addresses as a security concern, and Uber may ask you to verify your address before processing a ride. Updating both your Saved Home location and your account address keeps everything consistent.

Troubleshooting address changes that don't save

If you tap Confirm but the address doesn't seem to save, close the app completely and reopen it. Sometimes the change takes a few seconds to sync. If the address still shows the old location, try deleting it first — tap the Home field, look for a delete or trash icon, and remove the old address. Then add the new one from scratch.

If the address you're trying to enter doesn't appear in Uber's search results, try typing it a different way. Search for the street name alone, or use the nearby intersection, or allow location permission and use the map pin instead of typing. Uber's address database may not recognize every address format, especially in rural areas or newly built neighborhoods. If the map pin works, use that method instead of the search box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing my home address in Uber change my billing address?

No. Your saved home address in Uber is only a shortcut for ride requests. Your billing address is stored separately in your account settings under Legal Name and Address. You must update that separately if you want your payment method address to match your new home.

Can I have more than one home address saved?

Uber allows one Home location, but you can save other addresses as Work, Gym, or Favorite. If you need to switch between two homes (for example, if you split time between two cities), you can edit the Home address whenever you need to and save the other location as a different type.

What if Uber can't find my address in the search?

Try typing just the street name or nearby intersection. If that doesn't work, enable location permission and use the map pin tool to mark your location directly on the map. You can drag the pin to the exact spot. This method works even if Uber's address database doesn't recognize your specific address.

Will my driver see my saved home address?

Your driver sees only the pickup location you confirm for that specific ride. They don't see your saved addresses or any other locations you've saved in the app. Once the ride is complete, that pickup location is not stored as a saved place unless you manually save it.

Do I need to update my home address if I'm traveling temporarily?

No. You can request a ride from any address without changing your saved home location. Just type or search for the temporary address when you open the ride request screen. Your saved home address stays the same, and you can use it again when you return.
