**What to do if you left something in an Uber and the driver won’t answer?**
If you’ve ever found yourself in the unfortunate situation of leaving something behind in an Uber, only to have the driver not respond to your attempts to retrieve it, you’re not alone. It can be frustrating and stressful to be in this predicament, especially if the item you left behind is valuable or important to you. However, there are steps you can take to try and resolve the situation and hopefully get your belongings back.
First and foremost, it’s important to remain calm and collected. Panicking or becoming overly upset will not help the situation, and may even hinder your ability to think clearly and take the necessary steps to recover your lost item. Start by reaching out to Uber customer support through the app or website. They have a dedicated Lost Items section where you can report the missing item, and they will attempt to connect you with the driver to facilitate the return of your belongings. In most cases, the driver will respond and arrange for the item to be returned to you. However, if they don’t respond, there are still other options you can explore.
**Frequently Asked Questions**

When reporting a lost item to Uber, it’s important to provide as much detail as possible about the item you left behind. This includes a description of the item, where and when you think you left it in the vehicle, and any other relevant details. The more information you can provide, the better the chances of the driver being able to locate your item.
**How long does it usually take for Uber to respond to a lost item report?**
Uber typically responds to lost item reports within 24-48 hours. They will reach out to the driver and attempt to facilitate the return of the item to you. If the driver doesn’t respond within a reasonable amount of time, Uber will continue to follow up with them until the matter is resolved.
**Can I contact the driver directly if I left something in their vehicle?**
Yes, you can contact the driver directly through the Uber app. Simply go to the trip where you left the item, and there will be an option to “Contact Driver.” You can send them a message explaining the situation and asking if they have found your lost item.
**What if the driver still doesn’t respond after multiple attempts to contact them?**
If the driver still doesn’t respond after multiple attempts to contact them, you can escalate the issue to Uber customer support. They will continue to follow up with the driver and do everything they can to help you recover your lost item. Remember to remain patient and persistent in your efforts to resolve the situation.
