I take uber daily with no other option to get to work (yea I fcing sucks) and within the last month my uber prices have doubled I was paying about $25-$30 dollars for 15 miles and now I’m paying $40-$50. Yea prices for gas have gone up but that’s literally no excuse when drivers aren’t getting $15 more for taking my ride uber is. I can’t wait to sue tf out of this company with everyone else one day
I gave every driver 5 star and always tipped 15 to 20 percent. I swear to god I never do anything really bad. I do not like small talk and prefer not talking to driver.
But I got a 1 star. I definitely gave 5 and tipped that driver. I feel angry about this.
How can I overcome this?
If I decide no tip going forward, is it over reaction?
I’m a woman so I can say this 😂 but has anyone else noticed that a lot of women Uber drivers are kinda rude or have an attitude? It’s weird because as a woman you’ll choose a female driver thinking you’ll feel safer and more comfortable… and then they end up being cold or just not very nice lol.
hi all,
apologies if this is a stupid question. i’ve never had to take a pet in an uber.
i have to take my cat to the vet tomorrow. he is very well behaved in his carrier and never has any issues. it’s about a 5 minute drive. do i still have to book an uber pet for a cat in a carrier? or is a normal ride fine?
thank you in advance!
I needed to get a 90 mile ride home the other day. (Thankfully someone accepted and I filled up his car for 30 bucks and gave him a $20 tip on top of the $80 fee)
Anyway on the way home driving up McGinnis Ferry road in GA I was trying to get to i-85 North. For some reason I just so happened to be paying attention to his GPS and noticed it was trying to make him turn right when I normally turn left. I casually asked where he's going and he said he's following the directions to get on 85, there was some recent construction in the area so part of me thought maybe there was a new on-ramp I wasn't aware of, but nope... His map was legit trying to make us turn right onto the off ramp of i-85 North so we can then get on i-85 North.... I had to tell if it was wrong, he didn't believe me until he saw cars about to come directly at him out of the exit we almost turned down,.. from there on out I told them to ignore the directions and just listen to me.
Is the Uber GPS that bad? If we had gotten to an accident who would be liable?
I had an older driver yesterday morning who dropped me off at my final destination without issue and then proceeded to drive around all day across Chicago without ending the ride. I contacted support multiple times during this period about the issue, and they said it would be taken care of once the ride was ended.
Fast forward to 8+ hours later, the ride ends, and my card is charged almost 500 dollars for a $30 uber ride. I then contacted support more times and every time they tell me they’re going to forward it to a “specialized team” that will contact me by email, and a few hours later I get a generic response saying they can’t adjust my price.
I am simply beside myself, this is the craziest thing I’ve ever experienced with Uber. I’m going to try to get ahold of someone on the phone today, but I genuinely don’t know what to do otherwise.
I had a really weird experience a few days ago, and I was wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar. The ride was off from the beginning—I had scheduled a ride for 8:10 pm, and my driver got there 15 minutes early and started spam calling me to let me know she was there. After she started driving, she gets to the toll lane, and as we drive up to it, she asks me if I want to pay cash or credit. I was incredibly confused, as I had headphones in and had just finished a long school day + shift. She got weirdly defensive, pulled up to the toll, and told me to get out and pay. I just wanted to get home earlier, and the toll was only like $ 0.90, so I decided to pay, but it was definitely a very unnerving experience for me. I was even a little scared that she’d drive off without me after I paid, because she seemed so off. Uber support offered me $5 in cash, which was fine, but the experience was still weird.
edit: screenshot of receipt(with identifying information blacked out). It clearly shows a toll was included in the ride.

Has anyone been deactivated by uber for a citation they received not working for uber at the time,
In January I got a citation for reckless driving (honestly barely reckless as it was 18 over and not doing stupid stuff I see other people doing but whatever)
I had gotten taken off uber march 7th because my background check flagged the citation even though my court date isn’t till late April. Told nothing they can do about it.
April comes around I ight the citation in court and it’s lowered to a non moving violation, I have the court paper saying it’s been downgraded and I reach out to uber to clear my name then I’m told I have to go to the third party to have my background check redone then I go to that company and they say uber has to request it. But finally I get it redone and sent to uber.
I called a few days later to see if anything has changed and it hasn’t. This was earlier may
As of 20May I’m still deactivated
Has anyone gotten reactivated after getting a reckless driving citation or am I just stuck?
I’m pretty genuinely upset about my rating. I have 5 rider ratings; four are 5 stars and one is 4 stars to equal a 4.8 overall. I’m so anxious about my rating lowering and me not being able to get an uber ride. It legit makes me take less rides. About what score do you think people stop picking you up? Is there anything you can do at that point?
I don’t know what I could have done. I am always standing outside waiting for the person, I greet them and say good bye, I match their conversational level, I don’t eat in the car, I am careful to not slam doors, I don’t add on stops, I wear my seatbelt, I don’t ask them to change the air or music or anything, I always tip at least 20%. I don’t know what else to do.

This is my post on the other subreddit
There it is. How do I get Uber to stop sending drivers the wrong way down my one-way street?
I've only ever used uber 6 times total. My rating up until yesterday was a 4.9. I always make sure to tip and give the drivers a high rating though I sometimes forget and end up rating the following day. This happened today as I rated my driver and gave him a tip, only to see my rating had dropped to 4.57. I don't understand why he gave me two stars, I was in a rush but I said hi and thank you as I always do. Does this effect whether a driver will say yes to me or not? I'm confused as to how it all works
im not sure wether its a glitch or just something that drivers in my area are starting to do…
but 3x now when I’ve requested a ride, the driver will be “on the way” to pick me up, then out of nowhere it’ll say the ride has already started and that they are on the way to the destination when i haven’t been picked up yet?
I wondered if it was a glitch, but on the map it shows that the driver has actually turned around and started making their way to the destination instead of continuing toward the pickup location. sometimes I’ll wait a while to see if they’ll turn back to come pick me up but they don’t, they just continue on their way to the destination. And when i try to contact the drivers, text & phone calls, they never get back to me, leaving me no choice but the cancel the ride and pay the cancellation fee.
i am going to contact uber about it but just wondered if this is happening to anyone else lately?
genuinely curious why uber drivers are so against turning on the ac. it’s 95 degrees outside please turn the air on. even in times where i’ve asked for the air on, they’ll either roll the window down or say something along the lines of it costs them more money to have it on. it’s actually insane at this point
While scrolling through Instagram as always, I ran into a fascinating story. Apparently Tesla’s Robotaxi service has been activated in the City Of Houston and has been running since early April 2026. Also it’s running in a 25 mile radius from 6 AM to 2 AM. So I had Gemini to map it out. The following is AI’s response:
To help you visualize a 25-mile area centered on Downtown Houston, a straight-line (radial) distance of 25 miles extends roughly to the following landmarks and surrounding communities in each direction:
North: Reaches past the Greater Inwood area and nears the edge of Spring and George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
South: Extends down toward Pearland and the edge of Friendswood.
East: Stretches across Baytown and approaches the Trinity Bay area.
West: Reaches deep into the Katy area, just past the Energy Corridor.
A 25-mile radius creates a circle that encompasses an area of nearly 1,963 square miles, covering most of the immediate Houston metropolitan region inside and well beyond the Beltway 8 loop.
In Laymans terms, Robotaxi reaches both airports and the outskirts right outside the beltway. I know what some of you are going to say “ it’s not gonna affect the Rideshare industry. It’s going to be business as usual. “ what I’ve seen with my own two eyes is Waymo’s range increasein the market plus adding cars to its fleet(maybe).
Once the Rivian/Uber/Nuro partnership finish testing in the area and go online, that’s three options for passengers that will cut at least a fifth of independent contractors opportunity to make money. (In Phoenix, Wamo has 20% share of the market and over 130 miles of service area)
The question is how long will it take for passengers to discover and try these services and how long before human driver may become obsolete?
This is not to scare or gaslight. Just to inform and have a legitimate conversation.
I took an Uber Black in Newport Beach, CA around 3:30am mid-march and accidentally left my iPhone in the car. I realized immediately 5 seconds after the car pulled away and immediately called our gate guard to stop him before he left the neighborhood.
The gate guard stopped him and asked about the phone / if they could check the car, and the driver basically said, “It’s not here, you can’t look in here,” and drove off.
Then my phone location turned off right at the gate, which felt pretty sketchy timing-wise.
I know it was my fault for leaving it in the car, but I noticed immediately and I really did everything I could to stop him before leaving the neighborhood. Uber was zero help as well- they wouldn't provide the driver’s last name or license plate, so I couldn’t even file a complete police report.
Anyways now 6 weeks later, the location randomly turned back on and it’s at a phone shop in Morocco called Le Maitre Phone.... This phone shop has multiple reviews of people saying their phones were stolen all around the world & ended up there.
It’s honestly concerning to think drivers like this are also being trusted with Uber package/courier deliveries. I know most drivers are honest, but this whole situation has been really disappointing — especially for Uber Black.
I wish I could report the driver so this doesn't happen again, but Uber has made it so difficult to report him and aren't really listening.
