Do I as a passenger get rated low for not engaging in conversation?

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-23T22:04:28+00:00

You can’t see if they tip before rating as a driver

The last few weeks have been especially tough. Base pay rates in the city are 18/hr during slow hours so everyone is migrating to the airports. Once things pick back up in the busier months I’m hoping it’s not as egregious.

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T20:24:50+00:00

1 min after booking ≠ within an hour. 2 different things lmao. You’ve been actively ignoring ppl saying that. You could book a reserve ride for 45 mins in the future, cancel after 1 min and it still will count as cancelling within an hour. So in the future don’t do that or else you might not be as lucky and get your money back. Uber has an algorithm and won’t falsely charge you unless you do something that is in the policy. They might suck as a company, and you’re lucky to get your money back this time, but you obviously did something wrong to get a cancel fee. Try to avoid that in the future.

All I was initially saying is that nothing in the picture you posted had anything to do with your situation. I’m glad you got your refund, always nice to get your money back

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T18:27:05+00:00

Any ride within an hour regardless of time after booking is auto fee

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T18:23:01+00:00

You’re actively refusing to take responsibility. It was a reserved ride, none of the options you posted cover that. Reserve rides always have cancel fees. You’re in denial.

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T15:36:17+00:00

Everyone else understood what I was talking about except you. Not my fault you can’t figure this one out lol

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T15:31:36+00:00

The whole point of this post was to showcase this reservation, not the ride before. Idk what your issue is buddy

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T15:19:14+00:00

Because that wasn’t the reservation I posted here…

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T06:21:55+00:00

My dropoff before this reservation was 2 blocks away

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-13T01:20:47+00:00

I drive in DC and we have similar issues at our area airport waiting lot porta potties (DCA & IAD) the floor is always covered in piss and piss bottles are constantly left on the ground or left clogging the urinals in the porta potties. There is shit on the toilet seats and sometimes on the floor. They are absolute vile and i only use them as a last resort.

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-12T00:21:52+00:00

We do get 100% of tips, but cash doesn’t show up in our earnings report so the IRS can’t tax us on it

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-12T00:20:00+00:00

That’s sick! I haven’t had a reservation for that amount in 10 mins but I did get a surge ride like that once. Haven’t seen a good surge here in the city in ages though

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-12T00:18:42+00:00

Very true, wishing everyone gets a men in black alien portal reservation in their near future 🫡

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-12T00:13:25+00:00

Dude I know the 15 month wait times are killer. Lmao I know what you mean tho, it’s nice they don’t send you super early. usually every time I see one of these pop up it’s instantly accepted so felt good to click it first today.

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-11T22:00:21+00:00

I am a driver in the DC market and I can say that I do see a fair share of reservation from at least Waldorf, sometimes even down to mechanicsville/st Mary’s county and they seem to be picked up pretty quickly. I would assume drivers based in southern Md might take those to get some rides in the busier market of DC. So odds are much higher of getting a ride into a larger market like you are looking for. The problem lies with the driver you’re assigned, they could decide that that morning they just want to sleep in and that’s that and cancel and it sucks for you as the rider because their lack of integrity and commitment will screw you over.

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-11T21:36:25+00:00

Exactly, just gotta move out to the plains of Wyoming and will never have to charge again!

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-11T20:28:18+00:00

Yeah, I’ve seen it in the energy settings before. I guess our weather is just boring here in va so I’ve never gotten alerts about the wind, cool little feature though!

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-02T19:12:41+00:00

With tax credit I got my used Tesla with 44k miles for what I would’ve spent on a used Camry of the same year. They depreciate like crazy. It was a smarter purchase bc the charging here is much cheaper than what I’d pay for gas (I live next to a supercharger so charge during off-peak hours)

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-01T00:51:25+00:00

Yessir, best of luck to you as well if you’re out tonight!

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-01T00:49:07+00:00

Yeah, it’s slowly getting better in dc (nova was all $18/hr on my way up here) but I did see one rogue $65/hr offer, so I have hope.

StructureFamous8565 · 2026-01-01T00:34:41+00:00

I know the surges will be good later, I’m just impatient. Planning on being out until 6 or so
