How to Cancel DashPass: A Step-by-Step Guide

DashPass is a subscription-based service offered by DoorDash, an on-demand food delivery company connecting local restaurants with local consumers. Available in the U.S. and Canada only, DashPass offers subscribers various benefits, such as reduced service fees and free delivery on eligible orders. 

With more than 15 million subscribers and more than 390,000 eligible partnered restaurants, DashPass has become a popular food delivery service. It may be a fantastic option for many consumers, but there are drawbacks that can make you decide to cancel DashPass. 

This guide will walk you through canceling your subscription using the DoorDash app and website. Let’s start by discussing the subscription fees and offerings of DashPass. 

The Cost and the Benefits of DashPass Membership

DashPass offers unlimited deliveries of food free of delivery fee from a great number of eligible restaurants provided your order exceeds $12 (or even $10 if you’re in Dallas, Los Angeles, or Orange County, for instance). The service comes with two pricing options to choose from:

• Monthly Plan: The Monthly Plan costs $9.99 per month and provides flexibility as you can cancel anytime without any long-term commitment.

• Annual Plan: The Annual Plan costs $96 per year, which is equivalent to $8 per month. With this plan, you save more upfront by committing to a full year of membership.

Except for $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, by subscribing to either of these plans, you will receive DashPass benefits, such as reduced service fees, priority customer support, and exclusive DashPass-only promotions. In addition, you can enjoy free delivery from an eligible grocery store on orders of over $25.

Now that we’ve discussed the benefits subscribers get, let’s look at the reasons for unsubscribing from DashPass.

Why Should You Cancel DashPass?

First of all, if you live where DashPass doesn’t operate or you’re planning to move to such a location, naturally, you don’t need to pay for membership. In addition, not all restaurants meet the criteria of the service, so if your favorite restaurant is not eligible or there are no eligible restaurants near your location, obviously, DashPass is not a perfect fit for you, and you’d better end your subscription.

Also, in case your monthly delivery fee equals the monthly fee of $9.99, or your favorite restaurant offers free delivery of your orders, there’s no point in subscribing to the DashPass service. On the other hand, not all orders are eligible to be delivered to your doorstep. So, if you have considerations about the delivery of your orders, terminating your DashPass subscription is a better option for you.

Once you start planning to unsubscribe from the platform, it’s vital to remember to unsubscribe at least a day before your next-scheduled subscription renewal date to eliminate the chances of unexpected charges for the next billing period. 

Now, let’s go through the steps you need to take to end your DashPass subscription.
