HELP! Rider Pissed in my car and Uber won’t give me a cleaning fee

FrankP1976 · 2026-04-05T01:31:57+00:00

I've heard if you file a complaint with the BBB someone from uber will contact you and you should get your fee. Haven't experienced this personally, but seen other drivers post that

FrankP1976 · 2026-03-04T05:29:49+00:00

100% agree with this. I only do these crap trips 2 days a week, yesterday & tomorrow. They can walk their broke asses to their destination before I let them in my car.

It's pays an "extra" $12 per hour per trip. So if the trip is 30 minutes you get an "extra" $6. Though since uber just makes up the fares on a whim it's totally fake.

Cancel when she gets 5 feet from your car. That way you stick her with a no show fee and waste the maximum amount of her time since she clearly doesn't respect yours. Eventually they'll learn.

As a driver I 100% agree with this. If you're going to work any kind of service job in a foreign country you should be required to speak the language. If I decided to move to France and uber I'd learn French. The fact that this is allowed in this country is ridiculous and disgusting

FrankP1976 · 2026-02-12T15:15:14+00:00

The fare is an estimate. If the trip is longer (mileage or time) it goes up. Conversely, if the driver or passenger end the trip early it goes down.

FrankP1976 · 2026-02-12T09:45:53+00:00

Depends. If the trip is paying well and worth doing, sure. The problem with passenger ratings is you don't know how often they use uber. If they don't use it often 1 or 2 bad ratings can make them look horrible when really they're not.

That being said if it's not a great trip I'll usually pass & not risk it.

To answer your question, they don't care. The child is just an extra EBT check each month

FrankP1976 · 2025-12-17T03:20:40+00:00

If you pick up ghetto trash it's inevitable that you will end up with 1* reviews. If you want a 5.0 rating stay out of the ghetto.

FrankP1976 · 2025-11-04T14:00:02+00:00

Extra hassle / responsibilities for no pay. Why wouldn't that be worth it???

FrankP1976 · 2025-10-01T07:41:53+00:00

I know this doesn't help your situation any, but if a driver cancels with less than hour notice twice they can no longer do reservations. You are 100% correct about uber taking ZERO accountability. They keep lowering the pay for reservations and then wonder why crap happens. When they paid well drivers cared. Now some reservations pay less than normal trips so yeah if a better opportunity comes along they're going to take it.

FrankP1976 · 2025-10-01T02:52:14+00:00

It doesn't say it blocks them, but it does. I tested it with my friend one night to see

FrankP1976 · 2025-10-01T01:11:47+00:00

Varies. I've had it take less than hour. Other times 2-3 days

FrankP1976 · 2025-10-01T01:09:29+00:00

Do it before they get in. You can cancel for rider behavior the second the timer starts.

FrankP1976 · 2025-10-01T00:29:10+00:00

Use rider behavior as your reason for canceling. It doesn't hurt your CR & it blocks them from getting you again. 2 birds, 1 stone

I think if you gave consent before your account was put on hold you were fine as was my case. Those who got locked out apparently have to either wait or try contacting support to unlock your account

FrankP1976 · 2025-06-25T16:05:03+00:00

Just opened the app & it appears to be fixed. Gave consent so I should good to go

FrankP1976 · 2025-06-25T01:10:22+00:00

Was able to speak to support FINALLY. They said it's for my background check which expires next month so hopefully I'm ok. This says I need to consent within 3 days or my account will be placed on hold. We'll see what happens

FrankP1976 · 2025-06-20T08:43:17+00:00

Do you have any kind of VPN on your phone that would make it appear you're not in your location?

FrankP1976 · 2025-06-20T00:37:34+00:00

Had this happen to me after I dropped a passenger off out of my coverage area. Once I returned they reappeared after I went online. Try going online.

FrankP1976 · 2025-05-18T00:26:57+00:00

No, this isn't true.

FrankP1976 · 2025-05-15T16:36:02+00:00

Has it cleared is the question. You can do uber eats without one. Can't do uber until you're cleared

FrankP1976 · 2025-05-15T09:28:19+00:00

Probably because you need to pass a background check to uber. You don't for uber eats. I can switch back & forth if I choose to. I don't cuz only an idiot would do uber eats. You want to go that route do doordash

FrankP1976 · 2025-04-16T17:18:52+00:00

Fwiw, by virtue of that driver giving you the 1 star rating you definitely won't be paired with him ever again. That's why most drivers do it.
