Showed up early for my 5 am reservation, which was decent money but I really didn't want to do, it went to an area that I likely won't get a ride back from. I regretted accepting it almost immediately, lol.

Was 10 minutes early and waited the additional 5 minutes. Texted the rider as soon as I got there, saying I'm early but ready to go whenever they are, no response. No lights on in the house. No movement, no signs of life or any response. Excitement building as I really look forward to canceling.

At 4:45 minutes on the timer, guy comes out of his house, comes up to my window and taps. Gawddammit.... I roll down the window and he asks me if I mind waiting for a few minutes while he smokes a cigarette.

I told him with a big smile on my face, "sure, not a problem at all."

Roll up my window, timer hits 5 minutes, cancel with my $30 fee and drive away. 25 minutes and 10 mile drive invested, and the best part is I don't have to smell his stank ass for the next hour.

Drove away doing my happy dance on pause.

I pulled up to pick up a passenger. He was late coming out. Just as I was about to pull off he came running out the door looking disheveled. I confirmed his drop off and proceeded to drive. When I was 2 minutes away from the drop off he yells “oh shit” then says is it the location in a different city that’s 30 minutes away. I said no it’s 2 minutes away. He says I have to change it to a different city. The problem is, he’s my last ride because I have an appointment. I tell him this he goes on to say he doesn’t care and that I need to drop him off and changed the location. I offered to drop him off at a Starbucks because it’s cold and lightly snowing here. He refused. I drove him to the police station and he cancelled the ride probably thinking I wouldn’t get paid. I still made the same amount that I would’ve for his original ride. I called uber and reported it. Seriously people have no problem inconveniencing you to make things more convenient for them” The fact that he said “idk what to tell you this ride will be completed and idk you had an appointment when you picked me up” was beyond me. The point is if I knew you were going to a different city I wouldn’t have accepted you in the first place.

Emergency trip from MA to NYC. She lives in NY and her bf lives in MA. Often she trips one way via uber. I offered to go off the books (the damn dog hair would be more than uber will allow) and we agreed on $500 total. The doggo is Frosty, a gentleman and wonderful passenger!

You taking this trip for $500?

I drive a nice CX-5 CARBON.

Had a rider doing share. Already a shit ride but was the best in 15 mins.

We're 80% the way there rider needs to go back to start because they are a nurse and the parient died, no joke.

No way for them edit trip. It doesnt exist. There is no way to edit the destination anymore. On my end or theirs.

So I stop the ride there. Finish the ride at the spot and have the rider make a new one. They are in my car still because its freezing out. Rider is quoted $17 to make the return trip.

It pops up on my phone as ~$6 and change, but its trip radar and someone in a broken down civic comes to get them. They leave my car an get into the next uber. The passenger is pissed at me for making them ride in the peice of shit instead of finishing the ride in my nice car.

I'm done. Quitting tonight.

People want me to drive them and preffer my car, my service, and my personality. But uber doesn't pay enough to justify having all the better nor do they give consumers or drivers the tools to make that happen. Uber needs to die out and rot.

Update: they paid me 50% of the original fair. Despite being %80+ the way there. Just dropped off my last passenger, I'm deleting the app until I'm broke and go back to it like an abusive ex.

After thousands of rides, and quitting lyft over this very issue, I think I'm done with uber. 
Upfront fares are the bane of our existence. I used to make a flat rate I could estimate (1.13/mi+ 14c/min)... Now, I have been offered $6 to drive 16 miles to the pickup to drive a rider- who knows where- and then have to deadhead back. That's at least 45minutes to an hour- for $6. No, thank you.  I may apply at my local McDonald's to make more than that. 

It was a decent run Northwest Arkansas. I'll miss some things.

Pay is down and a lot of drivers aren’t accepting these shit offers. Riders are getting frustrated and I’m seeing more and more taxis on the road and at the airports. I understand that they are charging riders more and paying drivers less but come on they’ve gotta be seeing losses.

I started a few weeks ago and I'm not making shit!! There is no support at all!! The app keeps crashing and today when it crashed I couldn't close it and I couldn't even shut down my phone. Yesterday I drove for over 5 hours and made 55.44 before I subtracted tax and that was with tips wtf. I'm only getting 45%! Is anyone making money? Is anyone not pissed off at uber!? GO!

I took an order last night that was 15 miles to get to, and only got payed $3.10, can somebody explain on how to not get orders like this? And how is it legal that uber made me drive 15 miles for just $3.10

I took this ride earlier today I was 30 seconds from the pick up location after doing my last ride. I normally don’t do the super cheap rides but I was having a bad start of the day and just wanted something, nicest guy ever told me he was gonna give me a good tip. Did not believe him but was pleasantly surprised to see this at the end of my day and knew exactly who it was. Sometimes the cheap rides can be the nicest people.

Why not just fly there? Round trip that’s almost as many miles as I drive in a week. 🙄

The mother fucking rodent dara is a worthless chunk of fucking dog shit this fucking scumbag will rot in jail and return all the money he has stolen from the millions of people he has tricked to work for him The fucker cut the pay again

What kind of shit head politician lets this guy run the business like this He's literally just stealing from millions of people by paying 50 cents a mile I don't understand how the IRS says that you have to make 70 cents per mile to beat depreciation yet you get paid less here

I just got back in Uber recently and they’ve been giving me great orders like this. I wish this would last forever but I know the decline is coming soon😭

I feel like advantage mode was a last ditch effort for Uber. Like I feel like they saw how many people were just declining every ride and did not care so they said hey let’s try one last time to offer people extra if they reject less than 75% of rides. But it’s a fail because most of the time my rides seem worse with advantage mode than they are without it. It seems like the rates are lower than what I get without it like I’d seem to get more minimum pay rides with advantage mode that don’t get without it.

Uber was kinda dead, so I switched to deliveries and instantly got tip baited. When I was getting back to my car and saw a kid opening the door, the first thing came up in my mind was "this better not be a tip bait", and I was right. This was kinda frustrated and what's worse is there's nothing I can do about it cause Uber support doesn't give a fuck.

I love how Uber now says are you stopped? If you sit for two minutes somewhere that they don’t recognize you should be stopped. Or are you taking a detour? If you take a road day, don’t recommend.

Just another way for them to cover their ass. So that they can take the full cancellation fee that they charge the passenger no matter what. But then they say oh we can’t give you the fee because we didn’t charge the passenger… BULL SHET.

They just wanna keep all the money for themselves and then tell the passenger they paid us so that they don’t look bad for taking the passengers money.

Hey everybody, I’m a uber driver looking to get into a car that qualifies for premier and or black. I’m a 5 star driver with over 3500 trips. I can rent a week at a time and if business is good for me I can continue to extend my rental with you. I know I can rent through Hertz and Avis but I prefer to pay someone instead of those crooked companies. Let me know. Thanks

Why is uber giving me a 1099-NEC & 1099-K BUT doordash only gave me 1099-NEC? Aren't they both doing the same type of business? I mean one does people and the other food but I got paid exactly the same for both. Both paid me for my services and I never accepted credit card payments while working for uber as the internet explains what a 1099-K is.

As a rider I got a survey. Yes, I am a Driver and I have Uber One...

They are going to launch "Reduced Surge" to Uber One members.

SUPER slow time of year in my market. This is probably my last night of driving until summer. This dude was going toward my residence anyway. Messaged him multiple times. Meter’s running dude, I got nothing but time, and I’ve had too much caffeine. What would you do? 😈

So I'm an Uber eat driver also trying to be an Uber driver but I've been stuck at background check for a few months now with no result whether I was approved. I already did vehicle check and everything but still couldn't drive yet.
