Moving address

If you move to an area where Deliveroo Gold is not offered you may cancel by notifying Deliveroo with your new address. Provide proof such as a tenancy agreement or utility bill showing the new address. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 - cooling-off rules apply when subscription was purchased at a distance. See Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Price increase

If Deliveroo increases the subscription price, cancellation is permitted if the change is a contractual variation that you do not accept. Provide the notification Deliveroo sent and a statement rejecting the new term. Applicable law: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 - renewal cooling-off rights and changes to subscription terms. See Digital Markets Act 2024.

Death of subscriber

To cancel after the death of a subscriber, deliver a copy of the death certificate and a statement from the family executor. Deliveroo's public materials do not give specific steps for this case; provide documentation and use the contact form. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for refunds where relevant.

Legitimate ground or breach

Legitimate grounds include failure to provide the paid service with reasonable care and skill. Provide evidence such as repeated failures to apply benefits or clear account records showing billed fees despite active subscription. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

End of commitment

For annual Gold, the contract is a 12-month fixed term. You may cancel at expiry to prevent renewal by cancelling before the renewal date. Provide the expiry date from your Account page as proof. Applicable law: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 covering renewal cooling-off rights.

Cooling-off period

If you are within the first 14 days of a paid subscription you may request a full refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Provide the purchase date and ask for a refund citing the 14-day cooling-off right. See Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Digital Markets Act 2024.

Before cancelling: ask for retention

Deliveroo does not publicly publish standard retention offers for Gold. There are no published targeted discounts or official downgrade coupons in the publicly available sources. To ask for a retention offer, contact Deliveroo Customer Care through the Help pages and state that you are considering cancellation. Sample script: "I want to keep my account but I find the subscription too expensive. Do you have any discount, trial extension, or lower tier offer you can apply? My account email is [your email]." Record any offer and the agent name.

What cancelling saves - maths

Calculate the yearly cost for Deliveroo Gold monthly plan: Gold monthly: £4.99 x 12 = £59.88 per year.

Gold annual plan cost: £49.90 per year.

Difference if you pay monthly versus annual: £59.88 - £49.90 = £9.98 saved by choosing the annual payment.

Compare Deliveroo Plus Silver (cheapest real alternative published): Silver monthly £3.49 x 12 = £41.88 per year. Annual Silver = £34.90.

Saving by switching from Gold monthly to Silver monthly: £59.88 - £41.88 = £18.00 per year.

Saving by switching from Gold annual to Silver annual: £49.90 - £34.90 = £15.00 per year.

UK consumer law that applies

Key acts: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 for subscription cooling-off and renewals. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill. See the official texts: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Digital Markets Act 2024.

How to escalate if Deliveroo refuses

Step 1: Complain to Deliveroo via the Help pages and keep all correspondence. Step 2: Contact Citizens Advice for guidance and refer to Trading Standards for local enforcement. Step 3: For card payments, consider Section 75 or chargeback via your card issuer if the purchase meets the criteria. The Competition and Markets Authority flags hard-to-cancel subscriptions as potentially unfair; cite this in your complaint if cancellation is blocked.

Check access and benefits

After cancellation your Gold benefits continue until the end of the current billing cycle. Confirm the expiry date in Account > Deliveroo Plus > My Subscription and note the date.

Data and receipts

Keep the confirmation email or screenshot as proof. Save receipts for any refunds and a copy of your billing statement showing no further charges. If you used a voucher and cancelled, Deliveroo warns that a free Plus voucher cannot be re-used for the same voucher.

Re-activation

To re-activate, subscribe again through the app or website. If you cancelled within a free voucher period that came with restrictions, you may not be eligible to re-subscribe with that same voucher.

Use this short checklist immediately when you decide to cancel Deliveroo Gold.

• Find your billing date in Account > Deliveroo Plus > My Subscription.
• Cancel online before the next billing date to prevent renewal.
• Save the on-screen confirmation and the confirmation email.
• If within 14 days of purchase, request a refund citing the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
• If you used a voucher, note that voucher restrictions may prevent re-subscription with the same voucher.
• If you send a letter, use Recorded Delivery and keep the receipt.
• If you need help, use Deliveroo FAQ and document all exchanges.
