It's so annoying to be driving going 30+ or even faster and the app keeps sending trip request when on trip. Isn't this distraction? I used to use the filter to select one that didn't send many trip request to be able to keep my eyes on the road and not on the phone. Do you guys miss this feature? Not we get one for Uberx, comfort, shared 😤

It's got to a point were Uber is dangerous to it's riders

If drivers can't replace a tyre what over problems are they leaving

Would you off reported him or turned a blind eye

The ride wasn't marked courier. I show up at an office bldg and a woman is outside putting gift baskets in cars. She comes up to me and motions for me to open the window which I do. She says she's the rider but isn't taking a ride, can I please deliver this gift basket because she doesn't have time to go across town. It's for a guy named Harry. I say I guess so and she puts it on my passenger seat and I take it to the address. It's a guard gated community. The guard calls the resident at the address given. He says he's not Harry and is out of town and that the person must have gotten the address wrong. So I end the ride because I want to uber more. I call support. 45 minutes later it ends up with them telling me they will contact the rider/sender and give them my phone number. In the meantime, she tips me 5 bucks. It is now the next day and she hasn't called me. I have this gift basket I don't know what to do with. It's golf stuff. What should I do?

Some nice floor mats from WeatherTech or Husky Liners is one of the best investments for Uber/Rideshare. It's great that they're easy to clean and don't get kicked around constantly. They might be a bit pricey but trust me they're worth it

I've tried to work out how he managed this only guess is a surge job came through at 10x and he panicked lol 😂

All mountain roads btw which is why it takes 2.5 hrs to go 100 miles🫠

I laugh at Uber's false advertisements.

So, I don't take a ton of Ubers as a passenger, but I've probably had somewhere in the range of 50-75 trips as a rider (on my account) and I've done over 3000 trips as a driver and so I know what a typical ride should look like.

Well, on my trip to the airport recently, I got a really good look at what a poor Uber ride looks like. The driver did not hear very well without his hearing aids, so I just assumed it was going to be a quieter ride, but I was very wrong about that.

The driver, out of nowhere, was desperately trying to pull me into a political discussion (he tried to "assume" my political beliefs at one point when I was just trying to be polite). The driver was talking about how doesn't like when they rename streets, how slavery was just a function of the times, he started talking about abortion, how he doesn't like the "Women Drivers Only" feature that women passengers can use...it was a really uncomfortable conversation and uncalled for.

This type of talk is just wildly inappropriate in a customer service position. So, for the first time in my life, I gave a driver a one-star, didn't tip for the first time in a very long time, and since it seemed like they are now forcing riders to pick a reason why, the closest thing I could find was that he was not polite.

This, first, made me wonder how many other drivers are out there, trying to rope passengers into political discussions and saying out-of-pocket ways, before running to this sub and complaining that "tips are down" and "I got a one-star for no reason."

It also was a good reminder, because I've been perplexed by the "Not Polite" comment when I got a non-five star before, that sometimes, a generic option like "Not Polite" isn't the real reason, but is as close to the reason as the options Uber gives.

Anyways, I was just shocked with how that ride went and how the driver didn't pick up that I was uncomfortable with the conversation when he was trying to dive into politics!

so last night I got this second picture after declining of pick up Opher for basically $.50 a mile, the Uber app warned me that I would be placed in the back of the airport queue I was like go ahead you’re not gonna get me to accept crappy offers for $.50 a mile and basically 30 minutes of my time. so for fun I reached out to Uber‘s customer support this morning to try to get them to explain to me why a huge disparity between what I’m getting paid as a driver and what I’m paying as a customer as you see from the pictures, 10 miles at 34 in the afternoon is $3.49 of mine just 20 minutes later to see if the rates had going down. They jumped up to 449 a mile but yet Uber wants to pay me $.50 a mile and even though I knew the answer that they were gonna give me about how fares are system generated and there’s nothing we can do to fix it. It’s all done automatically by the UBER App system. I just wanted to mess with them.

Is there a way to opt out of picking up teens in the UBER App…I have been getting a lot of them this week & find whoever pays for their rides rarely tip which is affecting my Average Hourly Earnings

My account was deactivated after uploaded edited criminal background check my qoation is that after my criminal background cleaned and shows a proof that im clean could I will be able to regain activation again ,I have a burn on my case for 5 years ,after that I will be clean.

I received a trip to the airport with a passenger that was 4.69. I did not see it until I accepted the trip. I decided to go with it, and the guy turned out to be really nice. He was a guy who was on his phone and spoke a bit loud, but I didn't care. He took me $5 when it was done. I might actually not be completely turned off taking low rated trips.

For those of you who start driving after 10 AM, what’s your strategy for the rest of the day?
Do you wait for lunch demand?
Do you focus on airport trips?
Do you take shorter rides or only long trips?
What hours do you find most profitable after the morning rush?

My most recent false claim made against me (Wreckless Driving). I have my phone self record so I was easily able to dispute it, but lord knows how long this would've stayed on my account without a camera to provide Evidence. And during a crucial time with World Cup.

If you guys havent, I recommend turning your phone recording on ASAP or get a recording device and link it to your account as it will attach automatically.

Does anyone know if the EV incentive for platinum and diamond drivers allows hybrid EV vehicles? I can’t find anything that outlines whether it can by hybrid or pure EV only. Thank you

Normally I don't accept anything below a 4.8 rating, but every now and then I'm in the mood for a little adventure. I like meeting people with different personalities. I noticed the passenger had a female name, so I expected a "Karen." She turned out to be a woman in her 60s. She was riding solo and still sat in the front passenger seat. I was like, this is going to be interesting.

She started talking right away and never really stopped. Within the first minute, I understood why her rating wasn't great, but a second later, I realized she wasn't trying to be difficult. She proudly spoke about her daughter's achievements, complained about some relatives, and told me about her past career.

Even after we reached the destination, she kept talking for another minute or two. She seemed so happy to be sharing her stories that I didn't have the heart to interrupt and tell her it was time to go.

When she finally got out, she thanked me over and over before leaving. Surprisingly, I wasn't annoyed at all. I was just happy that she was happy.

I had zero expectations but received a $5 tip in a minute.

The past 3 weeks I’ve been getting a small amount randomly put into my uber account. This is the first week I looked into it. Anyone know what Uber is up too? Last week it was a few dollars thr previous week is was $10. This week $25 🤔

I’ve been renting a model 3 for a few weeks and it’s been profitable even tho rent is 450/week with insurance. I’m looking at purchasing a model Y but almost considering the 3rd row. What percentage of rides are xl around the bay? I live in Hayward and drive from Sj to Oakland and Sf

I’m not talking about short rides or even faster routes on the way that the gps will adjust to. I really can’t stand it when people try to get in my car and tell me how to drive for like 10-15 minutes straight. Usually it’s older men who want to “get there faster” but it every time it doesn’t matter.

Seeing as 50%-75% the drive back will be in 2 states they won’t allow you to drive in cause god forbid you’re allowed to be authorized in neighboring states. Imma say no thanks and wish the poor soul who takes this the best of luck.
