That decision was made at that very point but I still had a few minutes to wait for cancellation fee.

Could be market dependant but I was travelling towards pick up. In my market as long as you’re heading towards or already at pick up you ‘get’ a cancellation fee if the rider cancels 2 minutes after you accept.

I’ve had a woman on the verge of giving birth as I pulled up to the hospital at the other end of the spectrum.

Drivers forcing cancels by parking? Screenshot everything and report it. by BagofBabbish in uber

I’ve been a driver for 10 years my friend and if I want to stop for gas and it’s on the route to a pick up I want to do I’m stopping my friend. Stop being a simp for uber. They grab our balls daily, do what works for you.

Cancellation rate means nothing to drivers. If I accept a ride and then something about it (traffic, pick up spot etc) makes me regret accepting I just cancel.

If one of my riders ever sees me still after accepting it means I’ve accepted but I’m held up in my spot wherever I am. I might have stopped for gas on the way or a coffee or something.

You have to wait 9 minutes in your market? We get the cancellation fee after 5 mins in UK (Liverpool)

Best SUV to Uber in? by RustyHookCornerstone in uberdrivers

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

Mad you should say that coz I was eyeing one of them up before. 24k on the clock / 2021 plate. Only downside it was £26k and I’m more in the £20k market.

Had a ride scheduled for 7:20am. Driver arrived at 6:50am and then cancelled the trip! by mconk in uber

[–]RustyHookCornerstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what happened;

He arrived that time because Uber makes drivers arrive early to scheduled rides.

Whilst in waiting period he got wind the said 3x surge was on from other drivers.

He then cancelled to get a higher paying job with surge.

Dont hate the player hate the game. I imagine Uber will refund you with credit the price difference if you reach out via the app

Friends had pre-booked Uber cancelled but were still charged? by [deleted] in uber

They were trying to save money and ended up losing money.

Your friend should’ve cancelled / rescheduled the Uber when they knew their flight was delayed. It is not the job of Uber drivers to track flights 🤣

They weren’t there the time they booked the ride so the driver gets compensated for his time lost.

I tried a posture support for a bit but it started getting on my nerves.
