What Delta and Uber offer together

Delta Airlines and Uber have partnered to let passengers book ground transportation through the Uber app before or after their flight. When you open Uber, you can request a ride to or from certain Delta hub airports — including Atlanta (ATL), Detroit (DTW), Minneapolis (MSP), and Salt Lake City (SLC) — and the trip appears in your Uber app alongside your Delta booking if you link the accounts. The partnership does not change how Uber works or what you pay; it simply puts the ride option in one place with your flight details.

This integration is optional. You can still book Uber separately, use ground transportation through Delta's own services, or choose a different ride option entirely. The main benefit is convenience: seeing your flight time and ground transportation in the same app reduces the chance you will miss a connection or forget to arrange a ride home.

Key Takeaways

  • Delta and Uber integration works at four major Delta hubs: Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City.
  • You must link your Delta and Uber accounts in the Uber app to see your flight information and book rides together.
  • Uber pricing and service remain the same; the partnership only changes where you book, not how much you pay.
  • The integration shows your flight time in the Uber app so you can request a ride timed to your departure or arrival.

How to link your Delta and Uber accounts

Open the Uber app and go to the Account or Menu section. Look for a "Travel" or "Connections" option (the exact name varies by app version). Select Delta Airlines and sign in with your Delta SkyMiles account credentials. Once linked, your upcoming Delta flights will appear in the Uber app if you booked them with the same email address you use for your SkyMiles account.

If your Delta booking email does not match your SkyMiles email, the flights will not sync. Check that both accounts use the same email address before you link them. You can unlink the accounts at any time through the same menu.

Booking a ride through the integrated system

After linking, open Uber and look for your upcoming Delta flight in the Travel section. The app will show your departure or arrival time and let you request a ride directly from that screen. You can set the pickup time to match your flight — for example, requesting a ride for two hours before departure to account for check-in and security.

The ride request works like any other Uber booking: you see the estimated fare, driver arrival time, and vehicle type before you confirm. Payment goes through your Uber account using your saved payment method. You will receive the same driver notifications and trip tracking as a standard Uber ride.

Which airports and ride types are included

The Delta-Uber partnership currently covers rides to and from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL), Detroit Metropolitan (DTW), Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), and Salt Lake City International (SLC). At these airports, you can book UberX, Uber Comfort, and Uber Black through the integrated system. Uber Eats and other Uber services do not connect to Delta flights.

If you are flying Delta from or to an airport outside these four hubs, you can still use Uber — you just book it separately through the standard Uber app without the flight integration. The partnership does not restrict your ability to use Uber at other airports; it only adds the convenience feature at the four Delta hubs.

What happens if your flight changes or you cancel

If Delta changes your flight time, the updated time will sync to your Uber app within a few hours. If you have already booked an Uber ride, you are responsible for canceling it and booking a new one at the correct time. Uber's standard cancellation policy applies: free cancellation up to a certain time before pickup, then a cancellation fee.

If you cancel your Delta flight entirely, the flight will disappear from your Uber app, but any Uber ride you booked separately will remain active. You must cancel that ride through Uber if you no longer need it.

Privacy and data sharing between accounts

When you link Delta and Uber, you are giving Uber permission to see your upcoming Delta flights and flight times. Uber uses this information only to show your flights in the app and to time ride suggestions to your travel. Neither company shares your payment information across accounts — your Delta payment method stays with Delta, and your Uber payment method stays with Uber.

You can review what data is shared by checking the permissions in your Uber account settings. If you no longer want Uber to see your Delta flights, unlinking the accounts will stop the data sharing immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use Uber if I link my Delta account?

No. Linking your accounts only makes your flights visible in Uber and lets you book rides from that screen. You can ignore the flight information and book rides normally, or use a different transportation option entirely. Unlinking is simple and takes 30 seconds.

What if I book my Delta flight with a different email than my Uber account?

Your flight will not appear in Uber unless both accounts use the same email address. Update your Delta or Uber email to match, or create a new Uber account using the email address on your Delta booking. You can then link that Uber account to Delta.

Can I book a ride for someone else's flight?

No. The Uber app shows only flights booked under the email address linked to that Uber account. If you need to book a ride for a family member or friend, they must link their own Delta and Uber accounts, or you can book a standard Uber ride without the flight integration.

What if Uber is not available at my airport when I land?

Uber availability depends on local regulations and demand at each airport. If Uber is not operating at your arrival airport, the ride option will not appear in the app. Check Uber's website or app before your trip to confirm service at your destination airport. Delta's ground transportation page also lists other options like rental cars, shuttles, and taxis.

Does the partnership cost more than booking Uber separately?

No. Pricing is identical whether you book through the integrated system or the standard Uber app. The partnership changes only where you book, not the fare you pay.
