Important Safety Warning: Beware of fake customer service numbers on search engines. Scammers frequently target users with “spoofed” phone calls pretending to be Uber Eats Support to steal accounts or payment details. Uber Eats staff will never ask for your account password, SMS verification code, or ask you to pay a driver off-platform via wire transfer or PayPal.
Level 1: Customer Support (Service Client)
- How to complain: Do not search for a phone number. Your first legal step is to log into the Uber Eats app. Navigate to your “Account,” tap “Help” or “Orders,” select the specific meal, and submit a digital support ticket.
- Availability: The in-app digital ticketing system is available 24/7.
- Timeline: The automated and human support teams generally aim to respond within 24 to 48 hours. Crucial: Uber Eats strictly requires you to report missing or damaged items within 48 hours of the delivery to be eligible for a standard automated refund. Legally, they have up to 1 month to provide a final resolution to a complex consumer complaint.
- Source Verification: According to the official Uber Eats France - Aide portal.
Level 2: Formal Written Complaint & Mise en Demeure
- Who to contact: If the in-app support team fails to resolve the issue, blocks your account, or denies a legitimate refund, you must formally escalate the dispute by sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt (Lettre Recommandée avec Accusé de Réception - LRAR).
- Address: You must address your formal legal notice to the registered French operational entity: Uber Eats France SAS, 5 Rue Charlot, 75003 PARIS, France. (Alternatively, legal notices regarding the core platform Terms of Service can be sent to Uber B.V., Mr. Treublaan 7, 1097 DP Amsterdam, Netherlands).
- Timeline: The legal deadline for the company to provide a substantive, final response to a formal written notice in France is 1 month.
- Source Verification: Verified directly via the legal entity details published in the Conditions Générales d’Uber Eats France.
Level 3: Regulatory Authority / ADR (Médiation)
- Platform Disputes: For unresolved disputes regarding denied refunds, subscription fees (Uber One), or unjustified account bans, Uber is affiliated with a specific national ombudsman. You must file your dispute directly with l’Association Nationale des Médiateurs (ANM Conso).
- Systemic Fraud Reporting: Do not use SignalConso for a personal refund appeal for a missing meal. Only use the DGCCRF/SignalConso portal to report massive systemic commercial fraud or false advertising by the platform.
- Timeline: You can open a mediation case only after you have received a negative written response from the corporate headquarters, or if the 1-month statutory deadline has passed with no response. You can file online at
anm-conso.comor mail it to: ANM Conso, 62 rue Tiquetonne, 75002 PARIS. - Source Verification: According to the official dispute resolution clauses in the Uber France - Mentions Légales.
Level 4: Legal Action
- Pre-Litigation: You must have proof of your written complaints (screenshots of the in-app tickets and the LRAR) and proof that you attempted mediation (ANM Conso) before a French judge will hear a small claims case.
- Filing the Lawsuit: For direct disputes with Uber Eats France SAS under €10,000, private consumers can bring their case before the local Judicial Court (Tribunal Judiciaire or Chambre de proximité). Claims under €5,000 can be initiated via a simple declaration (Requête) without needing a lawyer.
