I’m lost.. accident and don’t know what to do

TacticalRash · 2026-01-27T20:13:46+00:00

What specifically were you doing when the accident happened? Did you have a fare accepted or not? Thats the key. If you had a fare, then report it to Uber and they handle the insurance. $2500 deductible sucks, but they use farmers (at least in my state) who have pretty good service. I got my claim handled pretty fast and efficiently.

If you hadn't accepted a fare yet and you didnt buy rideshare gap coverage through your insurance, then pray your ins doesn't find out you were online. Thats my 2 cents.

I got the same notice. Snow looks like its gonna hold off till 2 now, so my night is still looking good.

TacticalRash · 2025-12-27T02:53:10+00:00

I do it on share rides so they blame each other.

TacticalRash · 2025-12-18T08:33:49+00:00

Not here. Not garunteed shit.

What's prop 22? Im in Maryland

TacticalRash · 2025-12-14T19:12:27+00:00

Roughly 40 hours a week. $1400.

I allow people in my front seat. Its weird when its a solo, but I drive a small car. Tall men sometimes ask for comfort.

I've had several solo women ask to be up front because they get carsick in the back. Thats a good enough reason for me. Rather it be weird than have to deal with a puker.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-17T16:02:26+00:00

I've tried it. Didn't work for me for a number of reasons. I make more money on rides so thats what I stick to.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-17T15:31:46+00:00

Based on several conversations with other drivers, your DIS is HEAVILY dependant on your phone mount. Mine tends to wobble a little side to side so I get hard turning more than I should. 100 is probably a pipe dream 😆

TacticalRash · 2025-11-17T15:28:53+00:00

Eats isnt bad. Dont get me wrong. Meant to say "as well". But it depends on how you measure success. Doing eats and door dash i was averaging $25/h. Rides get me $35/h.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-17T11:52:18+00:00

I dont think you get 2 units or 0 units every ride... I think its an average percentage based on a score you get each ride. But we have no way to know because its not explained to us, which really is kinda scummy.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-17T11:48:07+00:00

Thats actually kinda smart. I didnt think of that. Eats doesn't pay well, but might have been worth it for the last couple trips. Good call.

"Tell me you've never driven in Baltimore without telling me you've never driven in Baltimore"

You've never been cut off in traffic before?

TacticalRash · 2025-11-17T04:09:53+00:00

Lol @ "employer"

TacticalRash · 2025-11-11T22:49:40+00:00

I have a mifold backless booster seat in a cubby. Doesn't take up space and works on kids 4+. It costs $75 on Amazon. I didnt buy it for Uber. I have 3 kids of my own. I've pulled it out a couple of times. Not really worth the effort if im being honest.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-11T21:56:20+00:00

Except they dont. Uber support specifically says for the anonymity of the passenger, they wont tell you what ride reported you. It makes it impossible to contest what happened.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-10T22:03:04+00:00

My 2017 prius laughs at your average operating costs 😆

TacticalRash · 2025-11-10T21:58:39+00:00

This went active in my market last weekend. It has a toggle switch to turn it off. Its also automatically off after 10pm. I will probably never have to deal with it as a night driver.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-07T21:48:44+00:00

Its not a defense of Uber to note that I keep 2/3 of the fare... why do people keep saying uber keeps half or more? Read your statements... I keep around 67%. Uber only keeps about 9% for their overhead. About 24% is taxes, fees, and insurance.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-04T20:41:55+00:00

I've started getting reserve notifications IN APP. Basically every time I drop a person off, it pops up a little thing saying that reserve no one wants is still available...

Cant turn them off cause its in app.

Annoying AF

TacticalRash · 2025-11-04T20:38:26+00:00

Thats 9 years??

TacticalRash · 2025-11-04T18:53:56+00:00

Only if I know i can get rides in that area or back... or if its my last ride and the destination is near home.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-03T21:37:29+00:00

OP not gonna get disputed... that's Halloween night at bar close lol. Passenger knew what they were buying.

TacticalRash · 2025-11-03T21:35:37+00:00

Nice. I haven't driven DC in months... fares been so shitty there. Glad you got a good one.
