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.

Platinum here. Roadside assistance will install your donut for you, but not apply a puncture repair kit. Lucky for me I didn't lose or use my jack in the 10yrs I've owned the vehicle, because I really didn't want to wait the 2-3hr ETA for roadside assistance.

I'm having one of those moments where I realize that I bought into the "gamification" because it was fun, not because there are tangible rewards...

I would gladly give up all Pro perks in exchange for a fuel surcharge and the elimination of customized pricing...

EDIT: This is not a sidewall puncture; it is in the thickest part of the tread. It will be easily fixable with a plug-type repair. Yes, the tread is low, but still within the legal limit for my state (2/32"). Quote: A tire must be rejected during a safety inspection if 2 adjacent wear bars are contacting the road. (Wear bars are precisely 2/32" for this reason. I have successfully driven this set of four tires for 80k+ miles; I _know_ they need replacing. It's just a matter of cost. I have performed this field repair before a few times in my lifetime; I just didn't have a repair kit with me. Maybe if fuel wasn't so darn expensive, I could afford some tires.

UPDATE: Tire is plugged and holding air. Will let you know if it doesn't hold.

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?

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!!!

When I first started doing uber I would see dud orders like this here and there. But now my algorithm is constantly throwing these types of trips my way. At least 3 out of 5 orders offered are low earnings and high mileage. I will never take these trips. Even if I had a reason and was already going to be heading to the same street as the recipient... I STILL would not deliver this order for principal alone.

Side note: has anyone had any surge rates in your area? We have not had surges in mine in at least 6 weeks during peak hours where they use to have high surge rates like clock work.

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.

I know this may have been discussed before but I have to ask about what happened.

I am a new driver , yesterday I accepted a ride for a certain amount, soon as I matched I got a notification "Rider modified the trip"

I looked at the destination and the trip timeline briefly and I see no change, I look and I see no additional stops as well, but after I pick them up I see "heading to first stop"

I don't mind because it's a brief stop on the way, but why I got not even 1 cent increase in payment for having to change my course and delay anyway?

Is that even allowed or does Uber hide it until we accept?

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?

Normally, when I see a low rating I assume they are new to the platform and just got a one or two star that brought it down. 3.31 means that this rider has taken a considerable amount of rides and it still hasn't evened out like it does for most people who get low ratings. I'll forever wonder what they do to be rated bad by so many drivers.

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.

Location: Atlanta

Vehicle: 2015 Hyundai Sonata

Has anyone else experienced a drastic decrease in pay and decent trips within the last couple weeks. Previously I was making an average of $30 an hour and close to $1 a mile. I mainly focused on downriver. This last week's been rough, last week I averaged $26 an hour (including tips) but sat for 30 minutes+ between requests sometimes. This week I'm not even averaging $20 an hour (mind you I'm including tips) and all the requests have been garbage short rides or high miles low pay.

I just want to know if I'm alone in this.

Please upvote so it gets to the right people.

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

If that's happened to you, what were you applying for? What reason did they actually give you? Did you try showing them bank statements or your earnings screenshots, and did that help at all? And has anyone had it go well? Any thoughts appreciated.

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

I have a 2020 honda civic sedan 160,000 miles

I went to the dealership to get an oil change and they gave me a list I need to get done

Engine leak concern $864

Air intake tube replace ( torn ) $315

Replace rear engine mount ( torn ) $644

Front pads brakes & resurface rotors $721

I just got my spark plugs done like 2 months ago

Valve adjustment I've done it like 4 months ago

Also others I included a picture and video.

I just would like to know are these fair prices?

Whats the important ones to do or do i need to do all of them

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...

Uber gets worse by the day. Now they show the airport purple, but do not show a surge amount. When you see this, if you are new, what it means is the offers are so low that nobody will accept the trips, so they are trying to get more people there to find the ants that will take the low fares. Unless it shows a real dollar surge, even if the offer says it's a surge, it's a normal offer minus about $3. We have tolls everywhere in my market that we have to pay to get back. If we didn't come back, there would never be enough drivers, so we have to take good fares. Don't be an ant.

I was offered a trip that paid $10.07 for 22 minutes for a single delivery. I accepted it, picked up the item, and then a second item that I never accepted came up. It wasn't ready, and they did not have a time estimate for when it would be ready. I cancelled it because I had no idea where it was going, how long it would take, or how much it paid, etc. I contacted support to remove the cancellation hit, and they would not help, as is typical for Uber.

I went ahead and completed the original delivery, and I was paid $2.86 for what ended up being 26 minutes. I contacted support again, and they insist that I've been paid correctly. I have screenshots to prove what happened, and they won't budge. I've repeatedly interacted with support, and they just continue to loop around, telling me that there is no issue and that I've been paid properly, and they're saying they have no power to correctly pay me even if I have been paid incorrectly. I've now contacted them on twitter. So, we'll see if that goes anywhere.

I realize that Uber is Uber, but has anyone else successfully navigated this sort of issue to receive proper payment? Or should I just collect all instances of this and take them to small claims court periodically or something, and would screenshots be sufficient for that, or what all would I need? I've opted out of their arbitration agreement so I can do that sort of thing when necessary. They do this a lot, which is why I now have screenshots of every single offer I receive.

Also, I signed up for their shop and deliver virtual card to look into those offers. They all seem to be crap; so I turned off shop and deliver orders, but they keep sending me shop and deliver offers. Any ideas on how to stop them from sending these offers? Maybe I can revert things somehow so that I'm no longer signed up for their card so I'm no longer eligible for shop and deliver offers?

Update: I got a response through x, same as through in-app support. They're insisting that I've been paid correctly. I'll probably just take them to small claims court periodically if this is a big enough issue with them and/or throw the info I gather onto the assumedly mountainous pile of evidence that goes into the class action lawsuits they're hit with periodically. It doesn't seem like it's likely that there will be any internal resolution to these sorts of issues.
