Thank you uber for paying us generous amounts of money. after paying out this car , I purchased this house while making great money with uber. Thank you Uber !

Been reading complaints on here about new Uber sneaky tactics daily to get Drivers to unknowingly accept trash rides for the last year just so I know what to look out for while I cheery pick my way to da max. Gotten so bad I now accept one ride out of the last 100 sent to me. So I pondered - if all Uber drivers in each market set a minimum requirement to accept rides and enforced it strictly, Uber will have no choice but to send out much more favorable rides. Since COVID, fares have gotten gradually worse cos Uber knows no matter how bad the rates they set are, someone somewhere will accept them. There IS Power in United Numbers.

So rather than complain here, why don’t each Uber market set up one WhatsUp Group or Telegram Group and agree to set the minimum requirement for that specific market and add all drivers in that market to that Group and hold each other accountable. If Uber algorithm sees no one is accepting those trash rides in that market, Uber will start taking drivers more seriously.

Now “who will bell the cat” in their market?

Had a ride last week that was genuinely one of the smoother ones I've had in a while. Guy was polite, no weird requests, didn't make me wait at pickup. We sat in construction traffic for a good chunk of it and I kept him updated the whole time, took a detour that saved us maybe 10 minutes. He gave me 5 stars and zero tip.

I know tips aren't required. Not trying to sound entitled about it. But a 45 minute ride during peak hours where you're actively working to get the guy there faster and then nothing — that's a little rough to swallow.

What gets me is the 5 stars part. If the ride was bad, fine, that makes more sense. But the combo of full stars and no tip messes with my head more than a 4 star with a couple bucks would.

I didn't say anything. Just moved on to the next ping. But I'm curious if anyone has figured out a way to nudge passengers toward tipping without it feeling weird or crossing a line. Not talking about begging, just anything that's actually worked for you.

I noticed with uber that I didn’t receive a payout from a ride and contacted them immediately they told me to wait 24hrs and I did then they gave me the runaround I’m showing them in the driver app and the pro card app that I never received the payment and they tried to give me $2 from the ride and I keep telling them that’s not gone work for me and makes me wonder if they do this often and people (me) never notice. Is there anyway to get a lawsuit I don’t care how little the fare is it’s money I’m owed and didn’t receive and there’s no way I want them to get off the hook with trying to give me $2 for the ride and they are real snobby in the help chat because they don’t feel like anything will be done and I will just accept not being paid! Please tell me if I have a case or what lawyers or class action or something I can do

It is genuinely getting worse and worse with every week passing by, now literally I couldn't accept a single offer over 2 days of driving due to how horribly unfair and bad those pays are....

Ironically they even dare to speak publicly about their "fair" fare breakdowns... bruh, those empty talks don't even explain why they want us to work for $18/hr before taxes lol

I asked this rider as $900 (280 miles)

he told me that uber is charging $420. I said have luck.

ps. My offer was pretty decent. And uber matched us 5 times straight

The only reason I accepted this really is because I missed the morning rush and I also have an EV with access to free charging. Otherwise I would have never done this ride. Certainly not with an ICE vehicle. They did end up tipping me $20 so the entire fare was like $78.

I’m in egypt and i got into an uber comfort and we had very small convo. When the ride finished he asked for my number i told him i’m underage. He told me that it was fine and he doesn’t mind. I kept refusing and he kept insisting and so i gave him a false number. Can i guarantee that he doesn’t drive me again? i reposted safety issue and gave a 2 star review.

Basically traveling from boston to NYC (4-4.5hr drive). Thinking to leave this Friday afternoon. It shows that i have to pay around $470 for uber comfort. I dont know how the driver gets paid but do you think anyone would accept this ride?

So I drive part time to supplement my income and I often get airport trips right after work due to the proximity to the airport . So a few days ago I got a fare to the airport for a family and arrived at their home to pick them up. The mother was outside waiting when I arrived and preceded to get in the rear passenger seat. I was watching for the rest of the riders and out of my peripheral I saw the mom doing a quick line of a powdered substance off her wrist (IN MY VEHICLE!!!) before her family got in the car.. I was speechless and didn't want to cause a scene in front of her kids. She acted like nothing happened and she immediately perked up when the kids arrived. Literally speechless.... Please tell me I'm not the only one who has experienced this...

Drivers have to drive longer hours. That equal to means they have less time to take care of their necessities such as, SLEEP, Food, exercise. Uber needs to understand that, instead cheapskating of paying drivers. Its going to cost them money in the long run, when a passenger get hurt and file a lawsuit against them. PAY THE DRIVERS BETTER UBER!!!

Yesterday Uber started randomly adding rides to me. A lot of them. I am not signed up for auto accept. So there was this ride that had been populating for some time. I kept rejecting it. It had a destination drop-off that was 37 miles out. The pay was around $20.00. No way im accepting that.

I kept declining the ride. I ended up accepting another ride. When I dropped off the rider I saw Uber had auto added a ride. I went to get the rider and the rider rushed to my car. He had been in the hot sun waiting for some time. As soon as I hit accept it showed his drop off was 37 miles out.

It was the same ride him had been declining all morning.

I had to cancel him and refuse to board him. I apologized to him.

And there was another ride. Destination 18 miles out. Paying $8.76.

Uber auto added that one too. I had to decline that one as well when the customer was rushing into the car.

And by the way Dallas temperatures were 107 degrees yesterday and these folk were hot. Tired.

Its so wrong to auto add rides that have such long distances and poor pay.

Hello drivers, just wondering, as the title says. I recently learned from this subreddit that it bothers some drivers if you talk on the phone, so I've stopped doing that. What else do you wish passengers knew was annoying?

I drive in a small college town and during the summer there are consistently 8-10 drivers including myself online at any given moment. Those days seem to be when it’s the absolute slowest for me, because there’s too many fucking drivers for this area and not enough people requesting rides.

I was considering purchasing one of these with the second row bench seat. I'm curious if anybody else might have one and what ride tears are they eligible for in your market? I would especially like to know if they get picked up for XL in Las Vegas as I am getting contradicting information.

Before you say check the vehicle eligibility list, please realize that I have but that contradicting information is that it is based on trim and the eligibility list does not. Does not go that deep nor does it actually correlate with their database of VIN numbers.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate it greatly! And keep on cherrypicking

Just so we're all clear -- Uber thinks we're idiots and don't realize they are comparing apples (gross earnings) with oranges (net income after subtracting operational expenses).

Here's what it should look like if we just compare apples to apples:

And here's what it should look like if we just compare oranges to oranges:

With World Cup being officially over I just want to say I hope we get another world cup in the US in my lifetime.

Not just for the money but the people, the different cultures, but still we as humans are much closer than we think.

But this is a Uber reddit and as such I will show my uber earnings which were insane.

Normally I average around 26/hr, but this world cup average was about 44/hr.

Has anyone had to get their car treatd for bed bugs? I think I may have an issue.

Just wondering if this is new or just a rare occurrence because I have never seen it before. You pick up food for the rider, then pick up the passenger and take them.
