Holy cow I was in town celebrating my birthday in West Los Angeles so I decided to take an Uber because I was on vacation. First off, I'm never coming to Los Angeles ever again, it's just not the same city. Second, my uber driver whose name was supposedly Adam but it clearly was not. He didn't speak any English which was concerning and the car smelled like bourbon and pot. I really needed to get to my destination so I went along for the ride. This guy who is probably an undocumented person was nodding off at the wheel and swerving into lanes. I was in a panic and I told him to pull over immedietely. I think Uber needs to install better guardrails. I hear that people can purchase citizen's profiles and rent them and this was clearly a case of that. The guy didn't speak any English and he was hammered. Bad bad bad, never using uber ever again.

A cluster at Newark airport. Location was pinged accurately but they never showed up despite updates. Customer service was useless. Do yourself a favor and pay a little extra for a cab. Your time is valuable too!

Unfortunately, Uber services becoming bad and bad. For example today I waited 15 minutes, then the trip was cancelled. 14.90 Saudi Ryal was charged and was not put in my wallet. This the third time. This is simply robbing! I can provide you with the time, date and charged money for a trip cancelled by your administration. Really, it is frustrating. Tell me how can I return the 14.90 SR.

Was overcharged. I was stranded with my son in Fullerton Ca. My reservation for my car rental I had, they didn’t let rent it. So my husband booked a Uber ride for first time. He said it was 504.00 from La Mirada to Stockton. Which it was a lot. But then was the only way back. When I got home. Drivers calls later after an hour said he need a code to finalize my route. That’s my first time, he didn’t say anything thing before getting out. So he finalized the ride way later then uber charged me 1,554.00. Why would they say 504.00 then send an email saying it’s only for 7 hours or 100 miles. I wouldn’t never got an uber ride. That was my rent money. That’s horrible. Why would they say 7 hours or 100 miles that doesn’t make sense. It’s been a week today uber not responding fast enough.

This has become the worst taxi service. When I order a ride from the grocery store to home? My trip gets canceled 3 times the first 3 trips are $15.99 to $21.99. 4th request $25.99. As soon as I get home I put the same trip in again and it came up$10.99. Their ai customer service sucks and did nothing but close the issue. Not one real human to talk to.

I was in Montreal, Canada and needed a ride to the airport. I was comparing Uber with Lyft prices. Lyft was about $36 and Uber was $30.20. The guy at the hotel was shocked by that price. I took it. Turned out they were quoting me a price in $U.S.$. This was actually over $41 in Canadian money. More than my Lyft would have cost. I was hesitant to go with Uber. I had an issue previously where 3 times in a row they had said I had a ride and I guess they couldn't find a driver. How about saying, 'Looking for a driver.' I see this dishonesty is a pattern. So, great job. You fooled me. Another peon suckered. Now you've got another 1* Review, with details. I also reported this to Uber. They gave me some refund of about $0.46 which I assume was that day's exchange rate difference from when I rode 2-3 days earlier. Another insult. Not addressing the issue at all. I assume no change in this completely dishonest policy. I will be sure to badmouth Uber from here on.

Unacceptable delivery quality and customer service. Not only was the driver rude and careless to the point of nearly dropping my meal, but the food was totally cold upon arrival. Expecting edible temperature and respectful handling is the bare minimum. I won't be using this service again anytime soon.

Uber’s convenient, but I’m concerned about driver pay. They handle the real work—traffic, passengers, car maintenance—yet keep only about forty-nine percent of each fare. I’d love to see them get a bigger share so this stays sustainable for the people who make it possible.

1st time use of Uber for an ER visit on a Sunday here in Henderson NV. Won’t ever use them again, the drivers were good but the last driver took over seven hours the following day to return my belongings I l accidentally left in his vehicle after having exit my emergency ER visit. I wasn’t feeling well and forgot one small travel bag with my wallet ID and medication inside. I had to wait 7 hours the following day, couldn’t pick up my medication without my ID. Called the driver 6 times the following day and he gave me unreliable return times of my items. I tipped the Uber Driver for the returned items but the Uber company also charged me an additional fee. Why doesn’t Uber instruct it’s drivers to look in the backseat for any left items before the passenger steps away?

I have been using Uber to provide an elderly relative with rides to and from church. In concept, it seems workable, and sometimes it does work. Other times, it doesn't. Here are the problems I've had:
* I never get a notification when the driver is on their way. A couple of times, rides have been missed when Uber said the driver was there, and my relative said no one came. He's old and unreliable, but if I could let me know a few minutes before what the car is, he might better identify his ride.
* Communication w Uber to discuss these issues is difficult - there is no phone number or chat window for one-on-one communication.
I'll be looking into Lyft next.

This review is solely for Portmore Jamaica. I did not start using uber until I arrived there. It was a living nightmare the whole 7 months we were there, because uber was our only source of transportation.
2. The uber app would show that the driver has arrived, but they are nowhere in sight. I have plenty of text messages to countless drivers over that 6 month period stating that "The app is saying that you have arrived, but I don't see you." Uber charges you more for a trip if the driver has to wait on you, which is fair, but I was waiting on them. I was late to a lot of my appointments, due to them being late, some even took the long way on purpose. I had to start asking them not to take the toll road after I found out that there was a shorter way. A couple of the drivers asked me for the toll fee before I found out that uber takes care of that charge.
3. This was the level of customer service I received: I was threatened by one driver, some were very rude, very filty cars, infested with mosquitos, them stoping to have personal conversations with people they knew on the street, the list goes on and on.
Uber has only given me the runaround when they can clearly see all of the many text messages and complaints that i filed over the 7 months without any accountability or compensation.

Gone the days when Uber was protecting the traveler's interest, not anymore. Few years ago, the car had a malfunction and stopped totally at the exit from the interstate. The driver kept the charge! I contacted Uber and immediately they refunded the ride. Few days ago, on a trip to Spain I ordered a ride from the airport, walked to the pick-up location. I saw many Uber cars picking up their passengers. I waited for my driver 50 minutes. During that time, I called the driver 8 times, but he never picked up the call. When he arrived, he apologized stating that this is his first time picking up a traveler from the airport. When asked why he picked up the order knowing he has no knowledge of the airport, no answer.
The driver had the audacity to charge me an additional 14 euros for wait time! It took 3 times to communicate with Uber to remove the charge. They removed only the wait time charge. I continued to complain for 5 additional times asking for the removal of the remaining charge of 24 euros as it is inconceivable for a passenger to wait 50 minutes at the airport for a driver to show up. Uber refused to credit. Thankfully in the US we have another option. Overseas for the remaining of my trip I downloaded the App of other companies providing the same service. I am in the process of closing my Uber account.

A reservation was made for a ride from Bradley International Airport to our home approximately seven minutes away. This reservation was for a ride that was needed two days later. A confirmation was immediately sent to us. The flight number was included in the reservation and clearly stated tracking on the flight would be done. No further correspondence from Uber existed. Upon arrival at BDL, there were no Uber drivers. We waited approximately 30 minutes with three tired twelve year-olds in tow at 11pm and had to take two taxis home.
When we went online to see what activity had been done, we saw that the reservation had been canceled. The charge was made to the credit card for no service. After a number of attempts to make a claim, we realized their customer service is nonexistent, neither online nor on the phone. A claim has been placed with the credit card company. Please do yourself a favor and use a service other than Uber.

If you've ever considered driving for Uber, I should share my experience from the last few days with you. At first I was optimistic about enrolling in a rideshare service as a driver, even though my vehicle will surely suffer. However, my optimism quickly turned to frustration. If you will take a moment to look at the photos I've uploaded, I've snapped a screen shot of two fares that I picked up back to back last week. In one photo you can see that the fare I received for driving 7.42 miles was $15.03. In the next photo you can see that the fare I received for driving 19.18 miles was $14.28.
When I brought up this discrepancy to Uber's customer support, their response was less than helpful. I've included a screenshot of their reply, so you can see for yourself how they circumvent my complaint and fail to provide me with any real answer. I have no doubt that if I pursue my complaint further it will be met with a response tantamount to saying, "the pay is the pay, you signed up for it and we can calculate it however we want, whenever we want."
I wish someone had put this information on the web before I started driving, so I would not waste my time working for this dreadful company. If you've ever had a job where you feel like your employer is taking advantage of you, this is surely one of them. All of the liability is on you, you do all of the work and they control how much of the fare trickles down to you. That's the gist of it.

I am extremely disappointed with Uber’s lost-and-found process. Leaving my phone in an Uber was an honest mistake, but what happened afterward was far more frustrating than losing the phone itself. It took me over seven hours to get my phone back—not because the driver was unwilling to help, but because it was nearly impossible to reach a real human being at Uber who could assist.
Everything is routed through automated systems and help articles. When you’re without your phone, many of those options are difficult or impossible to use. There should be a dedicated customer support line for urgent situations like a lost phone, especially since most people rely on their phones for communication, banking, navigation, work, and even personal safety.
Uber is a technology company, but technology should never completely replace human customer service. In a situation this stressful, I needed a person—not endless automated prompts. I appreciate the driver for ultimately helping me recover my phone, but Uber’s customer support process made an already stressful experience far worse than it needed to be. I sincerely hope Uber improves its lost-and-found system by providing faster access to live customer support for emergencies like this.

6/29/26- I'm a 75-year-old cancer patient after treatment waiting for Uber ride home under the Porte-cochère in front of the cancer center. The app indicates my ride arrived, while I was checking the license plate a passenger was leaving the vehicle. As I approached the vehicle it took off, not capable of running after it I was waving my arms, but it kept going. The app indicated I was on my way home in that Uber. My only option was to cancel it. The app cancelled it but didn't allow me to order other rides because when I pressed confirm it went blank.
No way to call, only chatting. I was promised the ride would be reimbursed along with the unable to confirm other rides which I was charged for canceling. Total overcharges $30.94 including a charge on the 30th for a ride that dumped me. I can't trust Uber. I can't call Uber. Only chat with promises not kept except for indicating all overcharges would take over 20 days to remove from my account. Not reliable, not responsive and no longer a customer.

My experience with Uber was enough to ensure I won't use them again. After a single ride, I was charged for an Uber One membership I never knowingly signed up for. Getting help to reverse the charge was virtually impossible, with no easy way to contact a real person. Between the poor customer service, questionable billing practices, and the way drivers are compensated, I won't be giving Uber another cent. I'd rather support local businesses that genuinely care about their customers and workers.

I drive for UBER because I recently got laid off and wanted to get a little bit more than what I was getting sitting at home doing nothing from unemployment. Uber GPS is the worst and not updated. 1. It will take you through EZPass lanes and will make you work for the tolls that you were charged for by having you submit proof that you were charged because apparently UBER GPS did not pick up that you went through toll road and even if you provide proof with EZPass receipt that align with the trip, they still won't pay you and that's exactly what happened to me and UBER robbed me of my almost $60 in toll that I paid out of my own pocket and after going back and forth with them for over 6 days, they closed everything by saying it was resolved and it was never resolved. One trip while I had a passenger with me, UBER GPS tried to take me through on coming traffic when that road is closed for 2 ways during that time.
It was a good thing I was paying attention to the road signs and avoided that, by trying to pass that, but according to UBER customer service people, I am supposed to follow UBER GPS and it took me around and back on the on coming traffic from a different road and it was a good thing that the passenger and I was paying attention after the first mistake UBER GPS made and we were lucky that the cars were far away from us and started honking and flashing their lights at us that I made a U-Turn and start my own GPS in my car to take the Rider safely to his destination. Uber customer service people are only there to collect paychecks and not to help the drivers. Uber does not care and the customer service number is also not working, so we can't make calls either. This rideshare company should shut down and get sued.

I protested and they reversed the charge back to my credit card. Then while sitting outside a Tim Hortons at corner of Woodroffe and Fallowfield, WHICH IS ABOUT 7 - 10 km from where I live I get a call from an Uber driver saying he is waiting for me outside the Tim Hortons. My issue is how did the driver know where I was. I have asked the rep from Uber (Priyanka) three times as the communications below:
"Priyanka. Your standard form answer does NOT address my serious concern about how your driver knew I was at Tim Hortons at corner of Woodroffe and Fallowfield for TWO reasons. Your response of "For your safety and privacy, trip locations are determined based on the information entered in the app at the time a ride is requested" is not acceptable for two reasons: (1) I did NOT request a ride. (2) So I did NOT enter any information re my pick up point address in my request (which I did not make!!!!). This is too serious a matter for you to respond with a standard form reply." Never heard back. This is too dangerous. They know EXACTLY where you are. And this could lead to all kinds of dangerous consequences. Please be careful when dealing with UBER.

I'll give it minus three stars because of my extremely bad experience. I was leaving the LaGuardia Delta terminal on June 15 at 12.15. A man who introduced himself as a dispatcher for Uber told me that there were no cabs at the terminal because of the renovation and signaled an Uber car to pick me up. I expressed my concern that Uber could be more expensive, but he reassured me the fare was going to be the same as a cab. I gave the driver my address on the Upper West Side. At the moment where the driver should turn in to the East River Drive, she kept driving straight, going north! I was trying to stop her, but it turned out she spoke absolutely no English! She kept pointing to the map on her phone that was showing the route through the George Washington Bridge! I couldn't get off because we were on the highway, and she continued not to listen.
After getting to the bridge, she finally went cross-town and drove south on the Hudson River Drive. The trip took close to an hour instead of the usual 25 minutes. Then she showed me the charge - it was almost $200! I refused to pay, so she reduced it to $90, which was still way more than the usual charge. I was already late for work, so it didn't occur to me to take the picture of the car. The driver said she was sending me the receipt, but she didn't, so I have no information except just the charge on my credit card. I will never take an Uber again, and I will warn everybody to stay away from them.

Nasdaq building and called again. The exact scenario repeated itself. I canceled again and walked the 16 blocks to my hotel. Later, when looking at my credit car I booked a ride in NYC. I was in front of the Nasdaq Building. They gave me a pickup location over a block away. After getting directions from a police office I walked to that location, which was not a specific address but something like 47th and 7th. There were literally several hundred people and scores of cars.
When I got a message the Uber was there, I called so we could try and find each other. The driver had a thick accent and there was lots of noise. I couldn't understand what he was saying. I kept asking, "What building are you in front of." I couldn't understand his answer. We got disconnected. I called back twice. Same problem. Finally, he said, "Do you want to cancel." I felt it was hopeless and said "yes". I went back to the app. I found I was charged a cancellation fee both times. One call also included a wait time fee. I did not know if you cancel a ride, even if it's because your driver can't find you when you're where you were told to be and are waiting, you will be charged!

We've used Uber numerous times. Usually, acquiring/confirming a ride takes 2-4 minutes. We've tried twice now, to get an early (3/4am) morning ride to the airport, once by booking ahead - driver "No Show", and recently planning 30 minutes ahead of time. The most recent time, the Uber App timed out twice after 15 min and even trying to "up-sell" us to "priority". We canceled and drove our personal vehicle (long term economy parking $144). Bottom Line - Do NOT TRUST Uber to be there in the early morning to transport you from Sparks to Reno Airport. Very disappointing service. PS I'd give "0" Stars, but unable.
