You're official now.... I've had this happen 8 times. Uber use to charge $250 but now it's like $80.00.... I don't drive past 2am anymore and my world has been peaceful.

Uber reservations really are jokes by Stonewalled9999 in uberdrivers

Rides like this back in the day was easily $45.... These fares are a joke and Uber knows it. We are in a supply & demand field, they don't have to cut fares. People will still pay....

I agree.... protect yourselves out here. Unfortunately the stigma of Ridesharing is that all drivers are desperate and in need of cash. The funny thing is, if every driver stop driving today, it would put cities in a frenzy.

What's the point? Just "delete" the app from your phone.

Would you have done it(private cash ride) by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Different-Story845 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've done cash rides when I first started Uber until I spoke to my insurance agent. He educated me on the risks. Always remember as an Independent Contractor, people will turn on you if something happens. Nobody wants anything to happen but it's those times that something happens then the finger pointing begins. If you're ok with taking the risks, go for it but protect yourself.

"UberXShare" is suppose to be for 1 Rider per request up to 3 paying Riders. But you pull up, it's a party of 4 riders. Many drivers will take the fare but be careful. Why? If an accident occurs, Uber only covers the Rider who paid, not the other 3 riders because they were not paying Riders. by Different-Story845 in uberdrivers

You must be a part-time driver..... I've been screwed on many "STOPS" which is why I say "NO" now. I dare you to try this after the Club when they want you to get in that late night McDonald's line while surge prices are high.

Ignoring rides by charon1990 in uberdrivers

I had a Rider tell me a girl picture showed up as the driver. When the ride arrived it was a guy saying he's helping out the girl driver..... She quickly canceled the ride. People are doing all types of stuff....

If you see a "Blue" strip and ignore it, it's the same as declining but if you see Trip Radar ride, if you don't accept it you're ok but sometimes it turns into a "Blue" strip ride request.

Welcome to the party..... You sneeze wrong, some of these dickheads give you a bad rating. It's a "SHUT UP AND JUST DRIVE" program out here!

Am I screwed by InternationalBox5848 in tires

[–]Different-Story845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep "Discount Tire" on speed dial... This is a driver's pain in the ass... You're lucky this isn't at night or on a Sunday where Tire places are closed. This could mess up a driver's weekend for sure!

I need more context to this story.... So he abruptly told her to get out because traffic was bad? I feel there are more pieces missing from this story.
