If you still have money, credits or an unresolved payment issue connected to your Uber account, it is important to address it through Uber’s remaining support channels while they are available.
What Happens to Your Uber Wallet?
With Uber no longer providing ride-hailing services in Nigeria, users should not expect to continue using their Uber balance for new rides in the country.

If you believe you have a refundable balance or an unresolved payment, keep your transaction information and contact Uber support as soon as possible.
Can You Get Money Back From Uber?
Whether you can receive a refund depends on what created the balance or charge and the applicable Uber payment terms. A wallet balance should not automatically be assumed to be refundable simply because Uber has left Nigeria.
When contacting support, provide details such as the amount involved, transaction date, payment method and any relevant trip information. This gives Uber the information needed to review your account.
What Can You Use Instead of Uber?
With Uber gone from Nigeria, passengers can consider other ride-hailing and transportation services depending on their location and travel needs.
However, not every journey requires a standard ride-hailing app. Airport transfers, professional drivers, intercity travel and business transportation can often be arranged in advance.
How Travo.ng Can Help
Travo.ng provides transportation and logistics services for people and businesses across Nigeria.
If you need transportation after Uber’s shutdown, Travo.ng can help arrange airport pickups, professional driver hire and intercity transportation. Travellers can also access bus ticket booking and travel services, while businesses can use parcel delivery and haulage for moving goods.
For planned journeys, arranging transportation in advance can provide a more organised alternative to relying entirely on on-demand ride-hailing.
If you have an Uber Wallet balance or unresolved payment issue, contact Uber support promptly while its post-shutdown support channels remain available. For your future transportation and logistics needs, Travo.ng offers several services through one platform.
