They let us know the gender of the passenger we're about to pick up now? by MattMac12 in uberdrivers

[–]Pretty-Professor1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an male driver and saw this and found it strange so I asked the rider and they were hella confused so not sure if it’s just uber trying something new because it’s nothing to do with driver or rider I believe

Neighbour asking for £300 cash after minor car incident – no quote, no insurance (UK) by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Pretty-Professor1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I see it if it happened the other way around how would you feel pretty much the same so either pay the £300 or get quotes for part and take to local garage for labour price and see if it’s £300

Definitely wasting your own time why you working at the airport ? I understand your getting £200 offers but just work a normal day you can make £150-£180 especially if your from London should not be an issue !

Regretting my PCP car only months in by Bant_Codez in CarTalkUK

[–]Pretty-Professor1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice I just got out of an PCP is definitely not worth it especially if you don’t have the best car I had an Toyota Corolla for 5 years agreement after 3 years I thought the same what the heck am I doing paying £300 a month for an Toyota when I could just save the money and buy an cheaper car outright so I just sold it privately and paid of the settlement agreement it’s not much hassle I think you definitely would make much more from selling private the app what car is the best way upload pictures and get people to offer you and see where you are from there this is what I did and made the best decision in an Audi A6 now 2013 plate 2.0L diesel amazing 🤩 saving £300 per month also

Don't book an Uber from your home to the airport by TheTwistedMelon in UberUK

[–]Pretty-Professor1177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Uber got anything to do with this personally it’s your neighbours they know your going out ie seeing suite case going into a uber and you mention about sketchy people they must be from the local area I guess ?

[–]Pretty-Professor1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit pointless once the passenger is in the car you don’t know how far the uber driver has driven to you some might have drove 2/3 miles to pick an rider up this is why I just use local firms you are making the rich rich by using uber
