The short answer
DOORDASH DASHPASS is DoorDash's $9.99-a-month membership from DoorDash, Inc. It drops the delivery fee to $0 and cuts service fees on eligible orders above the minimum, from restaurants, grocery, and convenience stores. The charge recurs monthly, or yearly at $96, until you end it inside the DoorDash app.
Why it shows up like this
A line reading DD *DOORDASH DASHPASS is the fee for DashPass, the DoorDash membership that lowers the cost of delivery rather than paying for any single order. It runs $9.99 a month or $96 for a full year, and in exchange members get a $0 delivery fee and reduced service fees on eligible orders over the stated minimum from restaurants, grocery, and convenience partners on the platform.
DoorDash, Inc. charges the membership to the card on file at the start of each cycle, separate from the per-order totals you pay when food actually arrives. That split is where a lot of the confusion starts, because the $9.99 membership and the individual order charges both carry DoorDash branding, so one statement can show several DOORDASH lines that mean different things. Depending on the bank, the descriptor prints as DASHPASS, DOORDASH DASHPASS, or the DD *DOORDASH DASHPASS variant.
The most common surprise comes from card-linked free trials. DoorDash bundles complimentary DashPass with certain Chase, Mastercard, and RBC credit cards, and it also runs standalone promotional months. When one of those free periods lapses, the first real $9.99 charge can appear months after signup, long after the trial has left your mind. Students on the discounted DashPass rate see a similar jump the moment the reduced pricing ends. Comparing the date the first $9.99 posted against your card's welcome offer is the fastest way to trace a card-linked trial back to its source.
Don’t recognize it? You might still
- A free DashPass trial bundled with a Chase, Mastercard, or RBC card ended and billing began at $9.99.
- A standalone promotional month of DashPass converted to the standard monthly rate.
- An annual DashPass plan renewed at $96, a year after you first subscribed.
- A discounted student DashPass rate expired and the plan moved to full price.
- You subscribed during a grocery or convenience-store promotion on DoorDash and the monthly billing carried on afterward.
What to do, in order
- Open Manage DashPass in the app In the DoorDash app tap Account, then Manage DashPass, to see your plan, the price, and the next renewal date.
- Separate the membership from your orders A clean $9.99 or $96 with no restaurant name is the membership; individual DOORDASH lines with a store attached are your actual food orders.
- End the subscription to stop billing Go to Account, Manage DashPass, then End Subscription, and confirm; the benefits stay active through the end of the paid period.
Quick questions
How do I cancel DashPass?
Open the DoorDash app, tap Account, choose Manage DashPass, and select End Subscription. You can keep using the benefits until the current billing period runs out. Removing the DoorDash app does not stop the charge; the subscription has to be ended in the account itself.
Why did DashPass charge me when I got it free with my credit card?
Card-linked DashPass is a free trial, not a permanent perk. When the promotional period on your Chase, Mastercard, or RBC card ends, DoorDash begins charging the standard $9.99 monthly rate unless you cancel first. Ending it before the promotion lapses is the only way to skip that first paid month.
