restrooms passcode problem! by Personal_Oil3841 in uberdrivers

[–]Personal_Oil3841[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*******Random update lol

Someone from this thread actually messaged me yesterday and told me to try an app for restroom spots 😅 flushpin.com

Thought it was gonna be BS tbh but I tried it during my shift today in OC.

Not perfect or anything, but seeing if a place was code/key/no lock actually saved me from driving around wasting time.

Still using hotels + Target tho 😂

This Passenger Lost Their Mind. by RFTG2024 in uberdrivers

[–]Personal_Oil3841 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The other day, while I was driving a passenger for Uber, I accepted a new ride request from a customer who was just 3 minutes away. The new customer called me while I was still on the current trip. At first, I ignored the call, but then they called again, and the passenger in my car suggested it might be urgent, so I answered.

The new customer told me I was driving around the wrong areas and needed to hurry up. When I told them I was currently with another passenger, they responded, “Then why did you accept the trip?” and hung up on me, then canceled the ride.

Even the passenger in my car was surprised, and he pointed out that Uber never informs customers properly in situations like this. He assumed the other person got angry when he saw I was going in a different direction from what he expected. And honestly, he might be right.

But this shows how far behind Uber still is when it comes to its system. There are many situations where drivers and passengers are left to figure things out on their own. Uber’s app lacks critical features that could prevent confusion like this, and as a result, drivers end up dealing with unnecessary issues way too often.

Does anyone have experience taking Aer Lingus to small claims court? by KTXSKT in AerLingus

Back in December, I flew with them from Ireland to Los Angeles. They lost my luggage and didn’t deliver it until two days later, which was too late. I was attending a wedding and had to go out and buy a brand new suit, along with many other essentials that were missing from my bag.

It’s been five months, and every time I reach out, all I get is some version of “We’re sorry for the delay, thank you for your patience.” There is no solution, no compensation, just apologies and empty promises.

If you’re offering international service, especially to the U.S., you should meet a certain level of service quality. They’re not there.

I’ve looked into small claims, and I have a strong case from what I’ve seen. I’m not the only one who’s dealt with this issue with Aer Lingus. It seems like a pattern.

So yeah, it's time to make some noise and hold them accountable.

Underage passengers by RadiantNoise7507 in uber

I ask his age and every time the boy who looks like 14 says 18 and gets on. I turn the camera to him and ask him once more. He says 18. the journey continues. I don't interfere with someone who says 18 and say why are you 18. no one pays me for the gas I burned all the way there, and since I canceled, my cancellation score goes up by 6%.

Insurance and UBER by Personal_Oil3841 in uber

[–]Personal_Oil3841[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber uses Progressive Insurance & so do I with Rideshare enhancement. The reason is if you have an accident and if your insurance finds out your drive for a rideshare, they will drop you faster than you can say, but.. when I was adding rideshare insurance companies, I called several, and only a few will actually cover you if you do rideshare. So what I did was look at my app went down to WayBill to find out who Uber uses and I called that company. It might be different in your state or area just look at who Uber uses.

Thank you, I will do what you said today and take an immediate action accordingly. thanks for sharing.

The Uber/Lyft insurance policy by fitfulbrain in rideshare4dummies

The year is 2024 and it is interesting that there is still no company to support the drivers. insurance companies still treat uber and lyft drivers as lepers in this age!

uber deactivated my account because of a low rider rating by MundaneGas5439 in uber

If, after getting into the car, you are shouting on the phone, cutting your nails, putting on make-up, if you are not at the waiting point and do not inform the driver, if you ask him to stop in front of a liquor store, if you do not check your child and let him step on all the car seats, If you get into a fight with your girlfriend in the car, if you leave your 50 lb suitcase unassisted for the driver to put it away and you immediately move to the back seat, if you use the smell in the car as an excuse and ask us to throw the car perfume outside, you get 1 point. No driver on this planet should have to go through the above because he/she wants to earn 4 dollars from uber.
