Established in 2009, Uber started as just an idea; tap into your phone and get a fast driver to take you from city to city; fast and conveniently. The idea later grew into a global venture aimed at connecting drivers and passengers all over.

Uber then made it possible for just anyone to access their services for rides and eats with a simple sign up through their mobile App and choosing a ride from their various ride types. Some of the rides are UberX, Uber Pool, Uber Bike, Uber Comfort, Uber Black, Uber Air, and the famous Uber Chap Chap, all at reasonable prices.

However, if you are offline for 90 plus days, your account is automatically deactivated as a rider or driver. Besides the 90 days offline period, other reasons for deactivation are; Sign up on multiple devices, wrong or inconsistent credit card details, violation of the terms and conditions, which could be regarded as fraud, opening different accounts with the same phone number.

Deactivating the account can also be based on using the same email address in other Uber accounts, the use of one credit card in multiple accounts, and outstanding payments.

No need for alarm as you can get your account up and running again.
