Using the DoorDash mobile app

Will I get a refund when I cancel DoorDash?

• Full refund: Available only if the restaurant hasn’t started preparing your food
• Partial refund: May apply if the restaurant has started cooking but the delivery hasn’t begun
• No refund: If the driver is already delivering your food

Refund eligibility depends on how early you cancel. Always check the confirmation message for refund details.
