However, DoorDash has competition. You might discover that you receive better service in your local area from a different meal delivery service. For this reason, you might wish to delete your DoorDash account.
Also, you may be ready to give up your income as a Dasher. If you think you might want to return to Dashing at some time in the future, it is best if you leave the company on good terms. We’ll tell you how to do that.
Let us help you delete your DoorDash customer and driver accounts. While we’re at it, we will also tell you how to cancel your DoorDash subscription, how to delete your personal data from the DoorDash system, and who to contact to delete the DoorDash accounts of deceased loved ones.
How to Delete Your Own DoorDash Account
Most customers who use DoorDash only pay when they order food to be delivered. If you wish to sever ties with DoorDash, you can quit using the service and unsubscribe from their emails. If you want to take it one step further, we’ll give instructions on how to delete the personal data that DoorDash collected during the time you used their service.
DoorDash also offers a subscription service for customers who want unlimited deliveries. This service is called DashPass, and subscribers pay $9.99 per month in order to receive unlimited deliveries from thousands of eligible restaurants on orders over $12. This article will tell you how to quit this subscription service.
Do you wish to sever ties as a customer with DoorDash? Here’s how.

How to Cancel Your DashPass Subscription
If you’re a paid DashPass subscriber, you can cancel at any time. However, you can still use the benefits through the end of your current billing period.

How to Delete a Deceased Loved One’s DoorDash Accounts
There are only two reasons that you would need to delete a deceased loved one’s DoorDash account. The first reason is if your loved one paid for a monthly subscription to DashPass. The other reason you might want to delete their account is if you’re concerned about privacy issues.
The first reason might take care of itself as soon as you cancel your loved one’s credit card. Once DoorDash stops receiving money for the subscription, they’ll cancel it.
There aren’t any specific instructions in DoorDash’s Terms and Conditions on what to do if a deceased family member has an account. However, here are some DoorDash customer service contact options.
Option 1. Visit the DoorDash support page
The bottom right-hand corner of this screen connects you with a DoorDash expert who can help you remove your deceased family member’s account from the system or stop their subscription to DashPass.
Option 2. Call DoorDash support
Unlike some big companies, DoorDash offers phone support to their customers. Call 855-431-0459 and ask them to remove your loved one’s account.
How to Delete a Deceased Loved One’s DoorDash Driver Account
There might be financial reasons that you need to contact DoorDash if your deceased loved one was a delivery driver. After all, the estate may collect the funds owed to your loved one to use to pay creditors or distribute to beneficiaries.
Since this task involves the transfer of money, it might be the duty of the executor to contact DoorDash if your loved one was a Dasher.
Here are two ways to contact the DoorDash customer service department
Option 1. Visit the DoorDash support page
Look for the red box in the bottom right-hand corner of this screen. It connects you with a DoorDash expert who can help you delete your loved one’s Dasher account.

Call 855-431-0459 to discuss your problem with a DoorDash expert.
What to Do When a Loved One Dies
Yes, there’s a lot to do when a loved one dies. However, some tasks are more critical than others. Start with the tasks that merit the most attention, such as ordering copies of the death certificate and deciding how to handle your loved one’s mortgage, rent, or car payments. Taking care of these tasks has more significant financial ramifications than canceling your loved one’s DoorDash account (even if they had a subscription.)
Also, your mental health is of utmost importance during this time. The loss of a close family member or friend is a traumatic event. So give yourself grace if you find it hard to concentrate on tasks. And pay attention to how other loved ones are affected by the loss of your family member or friend.
