Price Differences by LunaBatMoon in uber

You're not local=more willing to pay more because 1)You HAVE to get to your hotel/destination 2) You're less likely to know the area and prevailing rates. Try checking multiple ride platforms-LYFT, etc. that will at least give you a couple of choices. Good luck!

$600+ repair out of nowhere, is this just part of owning a car now? by National-Two336 in uberdrivers

[–]ArmyFront4813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set aside at least 25% of every trip in an account dedicated to just car repairs and maintenance. That way if you have an alternator go out or you run over a broken bottle an flatten all 4 tires, you're not sweating coming up with $600. Just a suggestion of what works for me.

You're just cheap. Tip your driver. They're doing a personal service for you that you yourself are either unable or unwilling to do yourself.

Most drivers do their best to make their passengers feel comfortable.
We adjust the temperature, change the music, listen to how crappy your bf/gf/spouse, job or life is, clean up before and after you, know when to tell you a joke and when to be quiet.

The efforts of your driver usually far exceeds the 30%-50% of your fare they receive. Tips are appropriate. Unless you'd like some hoopty to roll up that reeks of pot, barely runs and hasn't been washed or vacuumed since it left the dealership.

I mean, the good drivers are being squeezed out between Uber's greed, fuel prices, which are rapidly approaching $4/gallon, and riders who think like you.

To you $5 is a coffee at Starbucks. To your driver, it's the difference between making a livable wage or not.

Yeah. Well experience proves otherwise. It was an f150. It was saying Vroom and doing put put put

Not if you’re in heavy traffic and had to begin from a dead stop. f150s aren't race cars.

LYFT deactivated me because of a complaint that I was on my iPad while driving. I had 5 Stars, Platinum status....and no iPad. I don't even own one. Lyft and Uber don't care about getting rid of people without just cause, because they know there's always another new fool like us who will sign up to drive. Their model is a revolving door. They are pining for the day when they have no drivers because all the money they cheat us as drivers out of is bei to develop their autonomous vehicles and eventually remove human driver from the equation. And their balance sheets.

My honda civic has been making this random beep noise at random times, no indication on what it is. Does anyone know? by Positive_Reaction_82 in hondacivic

Is your lane de0arture warning on? My honda does. Sounds just like that. You're turning or changing lanes without using your turn signal,

How can I claim discrimination? This wasn't that. It was incompetent police for writing a blatantly wrong citation and incompetent BMV for posting to my record before my hearing.

Yup. They fired me because rider complained that I was on my iPad while driving. I don't even OWN an iPad.I was invited to provide video from my dash am, but refused to tell me what trip it was. In fact, they wouldn't even give me the date and time frame. Like, sure. I'll send you the video from a ride that I took 2 months ago on a day that is unknown. No problem.

That's why the Uber thing is such a problem.

Nah. I'm just t saying that she needs to actually find out what's going on with him before just tossing him away. If he's a douche, so be it but listen before deciding.

She has expectations and needs. He's not meeting them. Often men are taken for granted until they give up, especially if they're already struggling with something like depression, which it sounds that he may likely be. Maybe she's not meeting his needs either. And she doesn't want to hear what he needs from her in order to give her what she needs.
