What happens if you cancel an Uber order as a driver?
One concern a lot of Uber Eats drivers have is whether canceling orders that you've accepted can lead to you getting deactivated. The good news is that it doesn't. Unlike DoorDash, Uber Eats does not track your completion rate, and canceling orders that you've accepted doesn't impact your delivery status in any way.
