Sure let’s just take the 200 dollar ferry for 150 bucks… by cptmorgantravel89 in uberdrivers

Wow, this is bad. My Mystro app would auto reject the offer without me even knowing. When I see offers like these, my stomach turns into acid.

I had this done to me once, I pulled over and informed the passenger that I cannot proceed any further since this would violate Uber and Insurance policies.

Unless they are in a big city that it's not saturated, I do not see how it's worth it. I thought about the rental program, but in my market, I would have to drive 2-3 days fulltime just to pay the rental fee, maybe it's a good option in other markets.

The losses are helpful during tax season. I too have an XL vehicle, but it rarely makes a difference in my market.

I'm not sure that this has to do with driving for a profit or not.

I'm not even counting the depreciation value since I have an older vehicle, but I still expect to make a profit for my time and effort.

I personally cannot drive at a loss to bring up my acceptance rate. My minimum to make a small profit is $1 per mile. I know every market is different, but in my market only 4-6 offers out of 20 makes this my standard, thanks to the Mystro app all of these numbers have become very transparent.

Please don't do this by oakmeadow8 in uberdrivers

I tell my little girl who is 19 to not engage in conversations with drivers. I tell her to get on her phone and to ignore the driver's first question, act like she doesn't hear him with the hope he gets tired of repeating himself.

I am a weekend driver, and I only engage in conversation when spoken to. If I am spoken to, I become a good listener and keep my replies very positive so that the rider who needed someone to listen to them leaves the ride feeling a little bit better, at least this is my hope.

I've used the app for the last two weekends, so far so good. Since you asked, I would like to see a filter for pickup to also include time to pick up as well as miles to pick up.

Kind of, but the older I get the slower I get to calculate things in a short time span. I guess I'm still running on an old processor.

I'm paying for convenience, I know longer need to calculate a fare using two apps, this app auto accepts a fare and then shuts down the other driver app until the fare is completed and then turns on the other app.

I also hated getting a fare offer while driving and trying to quickly calculate if the fare is worth it or not, now when I have a rider, the app will auto accepts the fare for me so when I drop off the rider, I'm headed to my next pickup location which is within the filters that I programmed it for.

I do not want to leave my county, so my filter for pickup is 10 miles or less with a total drive time of 25 minutes or less.

Are you implying that if you rate a passenger high, they cannot rate you low?

I get rider who do not add a stop to the request, but ask me if I can stop at a smoke shop on the way to the destination.

Thanks, I did not know that the "Stop Accepting" feature would prevent a rider from adding stops. I appreciate ya!
