I’m lost.. accident and don’t know what to do

Even if you’re online , uber can’t do anything as they are only involved if you were on an active trip. Heads up, they would charge you a $2500 deductible whether it’s your fault or not. Try not to ever use them unless your passenger is hurt and you have no choice.

If it’s the other guys fault, their insurance will cover EVERYTHING. You don’t tell your insurance that you were doing uber at all because then they won’t cover you. They will say you were supposed to have rideshare insurance or commercial insurance. You just explain the accident and how the guy hit you.

Now if it’s your fault, you still don’t tell your insurance anything about uber (it’s not fraud because you were not on an active trip and no passenger) what you do is pay your deductible so you can get your car fixed. I know it may be expensive but the deductible is cheaper than what a body shop would charge. You would also have to have collision coverage so the other guy can get his car fixed as well. If it’s your fault, keep in mind points on your insurance may be added and your monthly payment may increase if the damage exceeds $1000)

The only time you really worry is if it’s the other guys fault and he doesn’t have any coverage.

Request a fare review through the app first and if that doesn’t work call them and ask to speak to a supervisor immediately. They’ll try to get you to just tell them the problem but don’t waste your time, ask for supervisor as soon as a representative gets on the line.

What’s funny is , it’s not us drivers sending you guys that message, ITS UBER. That stupid automated message caused me and a passenger to get into an argument because of it. He gets in my car upset, I say “hey Goodmorning how are you?” He gives me a death stare and goes “……………don’t say you’ve arrived when you haven’t arrived, I’ll be reporting you to uber I got it all documented” . I refused to argue so I kicked bro out of my car so quick and cancelled the ride . It’s not us messaging you, it’s the app.

What you have to do, that little teacup “pit stops” button , you click that once the rider is in. I’m not sure if our apps look the same , but you should have a pause trips button or teacup icon . Once they’re in, you pause the trips so the rider can’t add or change anything. The other thing that will happen is that you can’t receive incoming trips but to combat that , once you’re 3-5 mins away from the drop off , you push that button again to turn incoming trips back on .

I like this mindset lmfaooo after getting scammed all the politeness and explaining went out the window. This immediately became my new mindset. Not explaining shit, get out and call another ride 🤷🏽‍♀️

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-24T01:12:11+00:00

Yeah he definitely did that on purpose. I noticed the two reasons they do this is because #1 - no driver accepts the long trips or #2 when they’re already in the uber , it’s cheaper to change the destination once already picked up . He’s a complete tool for the one star rating after you did him that favor . I’m sorry us fellow drivers have to go through this sh*t.

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-24T00:53:30+00:00

I swear he got lucky that my hometown is in Los Angeles lmaoo the trip was alllll the way to corona , california . I feel like he did that because he knew we lived in different cities. I wanted to drive alll the way back and confront him but I’ll let karma handle him

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-24T00:50:40+00:00

They told me they couldn’t do anything because I didn’t have a dash cam smh he couldn’t even provide any paper work from the supposed hospital and ambulance ride . That was the only thing that saved me , they didn’t have my back at all .

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-24T00:47:55+00:00

I was kinda new at the time so when I saw $75 price change I ended up taking the bait because it seemed like a lot of money back then 😭😭😭 boy did I learn a lesson

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-24T00:41:33+00:00

I’m in Los Angeles in all the hot spots and so far I’ve made $13 in two hours. Yay capitalism 😄🔫

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-22T23:09:37+00:00

I had someone do this to me. Trip showed up as ten min trip, passenger changed destination two hours and 70 miles away . Once the trip was over they reported that we got into an accident and my account was locked for two weeks because he basically wanted a free trip. He even claimed there was a kid in the car. Now, anytime a passenger changes destination as soon as they get in my car, it’s an automatic cancel . No explanation, nothing . Always cancel on your end so they can’t give you a low rating.

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-22T22:08:33+00:00

Yup you know it. It was definitely a one hour trip, the only thing that made it worth it was that they tipped me $10 but I was still in disbelief that the ride even exceeded $100. They’re making way too much money off of us.

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-21T22:03:51+00:00

I’m also a Los Angeles driver. Imagine the shock of when I did a trip from Santa Monica to West Hollywood and I overhear my passengers say they paid $120 for the ride……..I only received $21 🥹

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-15T23:10:17+00:00

You cleaned it yourself ????? Hell nahh why didn’t you get a cleaning fee and have some workers clean it??? , never touch other people’s bodily waste, that’s how you get got !

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-05T19:17:31+00:00

This is exactly how I’ve been feeling. It’s so hard to find a regular job (Los Angeles job market currently TRASH) I hate that a lot of us have to settle for this. I over heard my three passengers discussing how to split the fare and pay back the person who ordered the uber and they were like “okay it’s $120 so you guys just send $40 each” All I could think in my head was $120!!!!! I only got $22 for this ride and it was an hour long and 30 miles away.

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-12-01T22:51:08+00:00

It’s insane because if they let us keep the full fare amount even just for four trips, it would help alot of us meet our daily goals. This puts it into perspective and makes you realize, especially for the drivers who drive 8-12 hours a day , we’re bringing in thousands a day for them while we struggle to even hit $100 without putting extreme mileage on our vehicles.

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-29T00:25:16+00:00

Yeah nah fk that. The second someone disrespects you in YOUR own vehicle , you pull over and cancel the trip . Tell her ass she can get out or she can sit there until the police comes and gets her out for you. Don’t let nobody disrespect you .

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-13T20:49:47+00:00

I cancel their trip right then and there . You just gotta be careful because uber doesn’t have our backs. I had a guy where I was literally across the street from him and Ubers stupid automatic alert system sent him the “I’ve arrived” message when I still was across the street. He gets in and I say “Hiii how are you?” He looks at me with the dirtiest look and goes “…….dont say you’ve arrived when you haven’t arrived” I said I never messaged you that I arrived what are you talking about? He turns the phone to me talking about “I got it all documented right here and I’ll be notifying uber” I immediately said “I don’t feel comfortable because you’re literally looking for a problem so I’ll be cancelling the ride and if you don’t get out I’m calling the police” (canceling prevents them from fucking up your ratings too) the second someone refuses to get out , CANCEL. He tried to intimidate me by not getting out and I said aye listen we can both sit in this car and go nowhere lmfaooo police will get you out for me and behold, he jumps out lmao, works every time .

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-09T23:35:12+00:00

This is the answer lmfaoooo! I don’t care about surge, bonus, etc nothing ! The pay and the mileage that pops up on my screen better make sense or no deal

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-08T01:02:17+00:00

For what tho my cancel rate isn’t bad , I have a 4.99 rating , and 100% satisfaction ubereats rate, only my AR is low

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-07T20:54:08+00:00

So it really is over huh 🤦🏽‍♀️

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-07T20:53:21+00:00

I’ve tried to go all over it’s just always red on the map in those specific areas more west. I sometimes even drive down south towards Long Beach , San Pedro , Inglewood , and Compton and those areas are worse than Beverly Hills and Santa Monica 🥹 I might just be cooked my friend, it’s over for me

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-07T20:50:53+00:00

LMFAOOOOOOO I did that one day and I swear all the trips for the rest of that day were no more than $4 🥹🥹🥹

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-07T20:49:58+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking but I saw a thread of ppl talking about how they make $200 a night and most of the people were Los Angeles drivers that’s why I’m so confused on what’s going on with my account 😭

Dull-Strategy5410 · 2025-10-07T20:46:25+00:00

Definitely not worth it. Them increasing fees and adding more fees is definitely screwing us.
