Which U.S. city is Uber headquartered in?

Uber is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

The company’s headquarters are in the Mission Bay neighbourhood, where Uber Technologies established a large corporate campus. San Francisco is closely tied to Uber’s early history: the company began as UberCab in 2009, initially pursuing app-based booking for premium car services. Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick were the principal founders.

Uber’s first public ride service launched in San Francisco in 2010, and the company soon expanded to other American cities before moving abroad. It changed its name from UberCab to Uber in 2011 as its ambitions broadened beyond traditional limousine bookings. Today, the business is much wider than ride-hailing, with operations connected to food delivery, freight and other logistics services.

A frequent confusion is Seattle, another major technology centre with a strong transportation and software presence. New York and Los Angeles are also important Uber markets, but neither is the company’s headquarters city. San Francisco is the corporate home associated with Uber’s founding and central operations.
