Frequently asked questions
Cancel Curb: The Right Way to Stop Charges
How to cancel your Curb account and stop unwanted charges
Why you might want to cancel your Curb account
Curb is a ride-hailing platform that connects passengers with licensed taxi and for-hire vehicles across major metropolitan areas in the United States. Unlike subscription services, Curb operates on a pay-per-trip model, so you pay only for the rides you book. However, your account may accumulate charges for cancellation fees, no-show penalties, or service fees that persist even after you stop using the app. If you've experienced unexpected billing, moved to a competing platform, or simply want to delete your data and payment method, canceling your Curb account is the right decision. Yafee recognizes that many riders feel trapped by recurring charges and unclear fee structures, which is why we've created this guide to help you take control of your account and billing.
How Curb billing works
Curb provides three primary ways to book rides: immediate on-demand requests, scheduled bookings through Ride Later, and in-cab payment via Pair and Pay. When you create a Curb account, you link a payment method to your profile. The platform does not require a monthly subscription from passengers, but your stored payment information can be charged for trip fares, service fees, reservation fees, and cancellation or no-show charges under the company's terms of service. This continuing authorization is why you may see unexpected charges weeks or months after your last trip. Understanding this billing model is essential before you proceed with cancellation.
Common reasons passengers cancel Curb
Yafee has analyzed hundreds of cancellation requests and found three primary drivers: billing disputes involving unexpected fees or charges the rider disputes; poor customer support responsiveness, including difficulty obtaining refunds; and service quality issues such as long waits or driver unavailability in the rider's area. Some passengers also cancel because they've switched to competitors like Uber or Lyft, or because they no longer need ride-hailing services. Regardless of your reason, knowing exactly how to cancel and protect your account is essential.
Your consumer rights when canceling Curb
Federal and state consumer protection laws protect you during account cancellation and billing disputes.
Federal trade commission act section 5 and billing protection
Under the Federal Trade Commission Act (16 U.S.C. Section 5), companies cannot use unfair or deceptive practices. If Curb charges your payment method without your explicit authorization, continues to charge you after you cancel, or refuses to reverse charges, you have grounds to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC enforces consumer protection rules and investigates whether Curb's billing practices violate the law. If you believe Curb has hidden fees in its terms of service or failed to honor your cancellation request, document those charges and file an FTC complaint at reportfraud.ftc.gov. This creates an official record that strengthens your position if you later dispute the charges with your bank or credit card company.
Your right to cancel and request account deletion
You have the explicit right to cancel your Curb account at any time. According to Curb's privacy policy, passengers may request account deletion whenever they choose. After you cancel, Curb must stop charging your payment method for new trips. Charges incurred before cancellation remain your responsibility unless you successfully dispute them as unauthorized or incorrect. Yafee recommends documenting all charges you dispute before you cancel, so you have clear evidence when you contact support or escalate to your credit card company.
Your legal position on billing disputes
You hold a strong legal position when disputing charges. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (15 U.S.C. Section 1666), you have the right to dispute unauthorized or incorrect charges on your credit card or bank account. If Curb refuses to refund a disputed charge after you cancel, your bank or credit card issuer can reverse the charge within a specific window, typically 60 to 120 days from the date of the statement containing the disputed transaction. Federal law also requires your financial institution to investigate your dispute and provide you with a written explanation within 30 days. Yafee recommends gathering screenshots of your account, any communication with Curb support, and a clear timeline of charges before filing a dispute.
How to cancel your Curb account step by step
Canceling your Curb account requires you to contact support directly via email, as the platform does not offer in-app account deletion.
Step 1: gather your account information
Before you contact Curb support, collect the following information:
- Your email address associated with your Curb account
- Your full name as it appears on your account
- Your phone number (if provided to Curb)
- A list of any disputed charges with dates and amounts
- Screenshots of your account dashboard showing your transaction history
Having this information readily available speeds up the cancellation process and helps Yafee's guidance structure your request clearly.
Step 2: submit your account deletion request via email
Send a cancellation email to [email protected]. Use the following template to ensure your request is clear and actionable:
Subject: Account deletion request [Your Email Address]
Dear Curb support,
I request the permanent deletion of my Curb account associated with the email address [your email] and phone number [your phone]. Please delete all personal data, payment information, and ride history from your systems in accordance with your privacy policy. I do not intend to use this account in the future.
If there are any outstanding issues or charges requiring resolution before deletion, please advise me immediately.
Thank you,
[Your Full Name]
Send this email from the address associated with your Curb account to ensure proper verification.
Step 3: document your cancellation request
After you submit your deletion request, do the following:
- Save the confirmation email from Curb support (including the timestamp and ticket number if provided)
- Screenshot or print a copy of your sent email with the full timestamp
- Note the date and time you submitted the request
- Set a calendar reminder to follow up in 14 days if you don't receive a response
This documentation protects you if a dispute arises later about whether you requested cancellation.
Step 4: monitor your payment method for charges
After you submit your cancellation request, continue monitoring your bank or credit card account. You should see no new charges from Curb after your deletion request is processed. If charges continue to appear after 7 business days, escalate the issue immediately by replying to your cancellation email and copying in a request for emergency payment halt.
Step 5: verify account deletion
Once Curb support confirms your account deletion, attempt to log into your account using your email and password. If the login fails with an error message stating the account does not exist, your account has been successfully deleted. If you can still log in, contact support again and request written confirmation that your account has been deleted.
Understanding curb's data retention and compliance policies
Curb retains certain data for legal and compliance purposes even after cancellation.
What data Curb keeps after cancellation
According to Curb Mobility, LLC's privacy policy, the company deletes account data that is not required for legal or compliance purposes. This means Curb may retain:
- Transaction records required by state and federal transportation authorities
- Payment information needed for dispute resolution or refund processing
- Data required to comply with legal holds or court orders
- Records necessary for tax reporting and financial audits
This retention is legal and does not violate your cancellation request. Yafee advises that you focus on ensuring your payment method is no longer stored for future charges, which Curb must accomplish upon deletion.
Your right to data deletion under privacy laws
Under state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), you have the right to request deletion of personal data. If you reside in a state with data protection laws, your cancellation request should reference this right. You may add the following to your cancellation email: "In accordance with [state name] data protection law, I request deletion of all personal data not required for legal compliance." Yafee recommends researching your state's privacy laws to strengthen your request.
Disputing charges after cancellation
If Curb continues to charge your payment method after you cancel, you have multiple options for dispute resolution.
Step 1: request a refund from Curb support
Reply to your cancellation confirmation email and clearly state that you've observed charges after your deletion request. Provide the following information:
- The date of each disputed charge
- The amount of each charge
- The date you submitted your cancellation request
- A statement that you did not authorize these charges after cancellation
Request a full refund within 7 business days. Curb's support team is obligated to investigate charges that occur after a confirmed cancellation request.
Step 2: file a chargeback with your bank or credit card issuer
If Curb does not refund the disputed charges within 10 business days, contact your bank or credit card company to initiate a chargeback. A chargeback is a dispute process in which your financial institution investigates the charge and reverses it if evidence supports your claim. To file a chargeback, call the phone number on your bank or credit card statement and provide the following:
- Your account number
- The date(s) of the disputed charge(s)
- The amount(s) in dispute
- Your cancellation request email and Curb's confirmation (or lack thereof)
- A statement that you did not authorize charges after your deletion request
Your financial institution must acknowledge your dispute in writing and investigate within 30 days. Yafee emphasizes that this step is critical if Curb refuses to refund unauthorized post-cancellation charges.
Step 3: file a complaint with the federal trade commission
If your chargeback is unsuccessful or Curb refuses to cooperate, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Include:
- A description of the unauthorized charges
- Copies of your cancellation email and any responses from Curb
- Your chargeback documentation from your bank
- Dates and amounts of all disputed charges
- A timeline of your attempts to resolve the issue
The FTC uses these complaints to identify patterns of deceptive or unfair billing practices. Your complaint creates an official record and may contribute to an FTC investigation of Curb's billing practices.
Common mistakes to avoid when canceling Curb
Canceling your account is straightforward if you follow the right steps, so avoid these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: failing to document your cancellation request
Many passengers cancel without saving a copy of their cancellation email or confirmation. If a dispute arises later, you'll have no proof that you requested deletion. Always screenshot your sent email and any confirmation from Curb before closing your email client. This documentation is your strongest evidence if you later file a chargeback or FTC complaint.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation stops all charges immediately
Curb may continue to charge your payment method for up to 7 business days after your cancellation request due to processing delays. However, any charges after 7 business days are unauthorized and should be disputed. Yafee advises checking your bank account daily for the first two weeks after cancellation to catch unexpected charges early.
Mistake 3: not checking your account after 14 days
After you request cancellation, follow up with Curb support after 14 days if you haven't received written confirmation that your account has been deleted. A delay in response may indicate that your request was not processed. Sending a follow-up email demonstrates that you actively pursued cancellation, which strengthens your position if you later dispute charges.
Mistake 4: disputing charges without first contacting Curb
Before filing a chargeback, give Curb a reasonable opportunity to refund disputed charges. Most chargebacks require you to demonstrate that you attempted to resolve the issue with the merchant first. Yafee recommends sending at least one follow-up email to Curb support requesting a refund before escalating to your bank.
What happens after you cancel your Curb account
Account deletion triggers specific post-cancellation actions that you should understand and monitor.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once Curb processes your deletion request, the following occurs:
- Your account login becomes inactive and you can no longer access your ride history or payment information
- Your stored payment method is removed from Curb's systems (though data may be retained for legal compliance)
- You will no longer receive ride confirmations or promotional emails from Curb
- Any pending ride requests are automatically canceled
However, Curb may still retain transaction records for up to 7 years to comply with federal transportation and tax reporting requirements. This is standard practice in the ride-hailing industry and does not violate your privacy rights.
Post-cancellation charge monitoring
Monitor your bank or credit card statement for 30 days after cancellation. You should see no new charges from Curb or its payment processor (typically Stripe or Square). If charges appear, they are unauthorized and you should immediately contact your bank to initiate a chargeback. Yafee recommends setting up account alerts with your bank to notify you of any Curb-related transactions.
Reactivation and new account creation
After you delete your Curb account, you can create a new account using the same email address after 30 days. This gives Curb time to fully delete your data from active systems. If you wish to use Curb again in the future, you may do so by signing up with a new account and payment method.
Pricing and fee structure before you cancel
Understanding Curb's charges helps you identify which fees to dispute if necessary.
| Charge type | Amount / description | When applied | Disputable after cancellation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trip fare | Varies by distance and market | After each completed ride | Only if ride was not completed or driver did not arrive |
| Service fee | Typically 10-15% of fare | With each trip | Yes, if service was not provided |
| Cancellation fee | $2-$10 depending on timing | If you cancel a ride after driver acceptance | Yes, if you canceled before driver acceptance or driver canceled first |
| No-show penalty | $5-$15 | If you don't board an accepted ride | Yes, if Curb cannot confirm you failed to board or if driver arrived late |
| Reservation fee | $1-$3 | For scheduled Ride Later bookings | Yes, if ride was not scheduled or you canceled within provider's window |
Before you cancel, review your account transaction history and identify any charges you believe are incorrect or unauthorized. These become the foundation of your dispute if Curb refuses to refund them.
Comparing Curb to other ride-hailing platforms
If you're canceling Curb, understanding how its cancellation process compares to competitors may inform your decision to switch.
| Platform | Subscription model | Cancellation method | Data deletion timeframe | Recommended if |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curb | Pay-per-trip | Email [email protected] | 7-14 business days | You want licensed taxi access in major cities |
| Uber | Pay-per-trip | Settings menu (in-app) | 5-7 business days | You prefer broader geographic coverage |
| Lyft | Pay-per-trip | Settings menu (in-app) | 5-7 business days | You want competitive pricing and driver ratings |
| Taxi companies (direct) | Pay-per-trip | Phone dispatch (no account) | N/A | You prefer traditional phone dispatch |
Yafee notes that Curb's email-based cancellation process is less convenient than in-app options offered by Uber or Lyft, but it ensures you have a documented record of your deletion request. This documentation advantage makes Curb's process preferable if you anticipate billing disputes.
Steps to take if Curb refuses to cancel your account
Although rare, Curb may not respond to your cancellation request or may claim you have outstanding charges that prevent deletion. Here's how to escalate.
Escalation step 1: send a certified follow-up email
If Curb does not respond within 10 business days, send a follow-up email to [email protected] with the subject line "URGENT: Follow-up account deletion request [Your Email]." Clearly reference your original request and include the date you sent it. Request written confirmation of the cancellation status within 5 business days.
Escalation step 2: file a complaint with your state attorney general
If Curb still refuses to respond or process your cancellation, file a complaint with your state's attorney general office. Most states have a consumer protection division that investigates complaints about unresponsive businesses. Your complaint should include:
- Your original cancellation request email
- All follow-up emails and Curb's responses (if any)
- Documentation of charges after your cancellation request
- A detailed timeline of your attempts to cancel
The attorney general's office can pressure Curb to comply with your request and may investigate whether the company's refusal violates state consumer protection laws.
Escalation step 3: file an FTC complaint and chargeback simultaneously
File both an FTC complaint at reportfraud.ftc.gov and a chargeback with your bank at the same time. This dual approach signals to Curb that you are serious about the dispute and creates multiple official records of the company's non-compliance. Yafee recommends this approach if Curb has already failed to respond after 30 days.
