The best way to retrieve a lost item is to call the driver – but if you leave your phone itself in an Uber, you can login to your account on a computer. Here’s what Uber recommends to do:
- Tap “Your Trips” and select the trip where you left something;
- Tap “I lost an item”;
- Tap “Contact driver about a lost item”;
- Scroll down and enter the phone number you would like to be contacted at. Tap submit;
- If you lost your personal phone, enter a friend’s phone number (you can do this by logging into your account on a computer, or using a friend’s phone).
Your phone will ring and connect you directly with your driver’s mobile number. If your driver picks up and confirms that your item has been found, coordinate a mutually convenient time and place to meet for its return to you. If your driver doesn’t pick up, leave a detailed voicemail describing your item and the best way to contact you.
