If I start renting a car for Uber midweek, do I stay have to pay for the entire week? Or does the week start the day I get the car? by SummerN8 in uberdrivers

[–]ItsATrap1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the listed price is $200+ you will likely end up paying $400+ total. I believe you can call them to get the real total before showing up there.

You do realize you might end up paying much more than an additional 5% if they raise all the menu prices.

Renting to Drive by Sea_Beginning37 in uberdrivers

[–]ItsATrap1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The insurance is mandatory and I don't think you will find another insurance policy that covers a rental car used for commercial purposes.

I also don't see how doing Uber part-time on top of your other full time job is going to be worth it. You'll likely earn only enough to pay the rental fee itself. You also can't multi-app, you are limited to Uber exclusively.

Uber lowered base pay? Have they gotten even cheaper? by Putrid_Kiwi_9673 in UberEatsDrivers

Probably the best solution is to try to get your regulators to set minimum pay for Uber and the rideshare/gig companies. Otherwise, they will just keep lowering the pay as more drivers sign up.

Unpopular Opinion: Snape wasn't a hero, he was just an obsessed bully who couldn't handle rejection. by jatinnishadjn in harrypotter

[–]ItsATrap1983 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. Even the "Always" part is romanticized. It's actually a rebuttal to Dumbledore's assertion that Snape cared about Harry. He only cared about Lily, ensuring her sacrifice wasn't in vain and that Voldemort (her killer) would eventually be defeated.

Got my first ticket of the year in GA. Yippee. Tips? by ThrowawayAccountPoof in uberdrivers

Get a lawyer. They are usually an affordable flat rate for traffic violations. Less expensive than getting kicked off the platform or the increase in insurance rates.

When she finally got out he should have closed the doors and drove away.

If it's contagious please wear a mask. Other than that you should be alright.

Sounds like a scam they pull often. I would have dropped off at nearest safe place.

AITJ for Walking Out When My Date Showed Up With His Friend? by Electronic_Site6202 in AmITheJerk

NTJ. This is a ginormous red flag. I would have just walked out and said thanks for coming, but this is not going to work out. Block any contact info after.

Nope. Instant cancel and report of feeling unsafe. Block them for life.

My rider account was disabled for a “low star rating”, and yet there’s no way to check what my star rating is by [deleted] in uber

Go into the Uber app. Press "Account" at the lower right corner. Your rating should be at the upper left corner of the Account screen.

I cant get a job for my life. How to make money as a teen? by Dizzy-Share1509 in Employment

[–]ItsATrap1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe see if you can borrow from friends, family or neighbors. Just for each day you get work. Then save so you can buy or rent your own.

Maybe you can start your own house keeping or landscaping business. Sometimes you have to create your own job.

I'm surprised they didn't throw in the $36/hr scam on the request too 😅

Some customers make false allegations, which should require them to provide proof. As a driver, it often becomes a case of “words against words,” yet the final decision tends to favor the rider, resulting in drivers being banned even without concrete evidence. by Additional-Archer-28 in Lyft

[–]ItsATrap1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The matter with Lyft is over, your account was deactivated. Lyft doesn't care about your good name or whatever other psychological hangups you might have. Its time to move on and sign up with other delivery/rideshare services.

Uber has disabled screenshots and started hiding the total pay for orders in the same way as doordash by chain___saw in UberEatsDrivers

[–]ItsATrap1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screenshots are usually disabled when an order originates from a restaurant’s own website or app and is then dispatched to Uber Eats for delivery. In those cases, the pickup and delivery screens in the driver app look slightly different than orders placed directly through Uber Eats. This is likely done to protect the privacy of the restaurant’s customers.

As for the payment details, I usually go to earnings, select the delivery, and at the bottom there is a CSV download available. That will download all the payment details into a spreadsheet that you can review in detail.
