Only other option is to use the business profile and I think there it is defaulted as off.
Defaulting Uber Cash is still broken/buggy. You can turn it off and switch to a credit card, but it has a bug where if you use Uber cash on the previous ride and run out of Uber cash, the app doesn't notify you that you ran out of funds until your next trip.
Upon taking your next trip, it prompts you to pay with a credit card. I wish it would stop defaulting to Uber Cash, or at least be smart enough to know when Uber Cash isn't going to cover the full fare, and split it with a credit card.
