I called to get a ride to get a rental car and the system said my phone number is not a real phone number???? So I called and got someone who could barely speak English and told me I had to go to helpuber.com to correct the problem, so I did. Then THE SYSTEM TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $5.00 to correct the problem in Uber's computer, I told the guy I was on the phone with and confirmed that I HAD TO PAY THEM $5.00 to fix the error that they have and he said yes!!!! How pathetic that a company wants the customer to pay them to fix the error that they made. I will NEVER use Uber again!!!

It then makes you select a flight, even if you're not arriving on a flight. The app needs an option to opt out of the "Arriving by Aircraft" or "Airline" choice and allow just the regular pickup options.

If there were an option for zero stars, I would certainly give it. I requested an Uber ride and followed all the instructions regarding the pickup location; the app indicated that a driver was on the way, and the payment was processed, but the driver never showed up. I waited about 10 minutes, and then the driver’s information disappeared from the app; I couldn't even find it in my ride history. I requested another ride, and they took the money again, but I had to cancel it because the pickup time was too long.
I sent several messages asking for an explanation regarding the first ride; the money was never returned. I ended up having to pay for the second ride because they required a new payment. This happened on September 26th in Sherwood Park, Alberta. Since that day, I have sent numerous inquiries about the money that was taken but never refunded. The only explanation they provide is that the bank has placed a "hold" on the funds. It has been nearly a month, and the money still hasn't been returned. They are clearly stealing; they don't respond, they lie, and they act as if nothing happened. Be careful with Uber; once you have your credit card linked to your account, anything can happen, and your money can easily disappear. They are blatantly stealing from their customers.

I drove for Uber in Dallas, Texas until Uber deactivated my driver account TWICE based on a Lyft safety report from June 23, 2026 that was furnished to HireRight. The second deactivation came October 5, 2026, via two automated "Final Account Notice" emails — no prior notice, no chance to review or rebut the information before my livelihood was shut off.
Lyft itself overturned that report in writing — twice: July 6, 2026 and October 6, 2026 (confirmed by HireRight in disputes ** and **). My HireRight background report now reads "Complete – Data Not Found." The data Uber acted on no longer exists. Uber still permanently closed my appeal on October 10, 2026 ("permanently lost access to the platform"). My certified Final Demand Notice reached Uber Legal in San Francisco on October 14, 2026 — no response; the five-business-day deadline expires October 21, 2026.
Lost income so far: approximately $24,000–$32,000 (June 23 – October 14, 2026). I have filed with the FTC (reports #** and #**), the Texas and California Attorneys General, TDLR, and the Independent Drivers Guild. The BBB closed my case as out of scope for driver accounts. Drivers beware: Uber can end your livelihood overnight on third-party data it never verifies — and won't correct it even after the source deletes it.

Getting help from Uber customer service was totally frustrating. I was erroneously charged by Uber for a service I did not receive. I have never used Uber and do NOT have an Uber account and still I kept getting emails (5 total after each time I responded attempting to resolve the erroneous charge) saying they needed my account information to process my refund request. Each time the email was sent by a different Uber support person - an endless loop of unhelpful automated AI chat. I even involved my bank to help respond to their "My account has an unrecognized charge" emails. They take your money and abandon you when something goes wrong. Honestly, given the billions of dollars Uber is worth, one would think they could invest some of their funds in resolving issues in a way that respects those who are responsible for their worth.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my reserved Uber driver, Gregory, who was assigned to pick me up in a Toyota Corolla, license plate **. I reserved this ride the day before my trip specifically because I needed dependable transportation to the Amtrak station for a scheduled train home. Despite having the reservation in advance, Gregory failed to show up for the scheduled pickup. This was more than a minor inconvenience. Because Gregory had accepted and was assigned to my reserved ride, I was relying on him to arrive as scheduled. His failure to do so left me scrambling at the last minute for alternative transportation and seriously jeopardized my ability to make my train. The situation was especially frustrating because having a driver assigned to my reservation also prevented another available driver from accepting the trip sooner.
Fortunately, another Uber driver eventually accepted my ride and went above and beyond to help me reach the station. Even with his efforts, I arrived at Amtrak only three minutes before my train departed. Had I missed the train, I could have been left dealing with additional travel expenses, delays, and the difficulty of rearranging my trip home. The entire purpose of reserving an Uber in advance is to have greater confidence that transportation will be available when it is needed, particularly when connecting to time-sensitive travel such as a train or flight. A reserved driver failing to appear without ensuring the passenger has adequate time to secure another ride defeats that purpose.
I am requesting that Uber review Gregory’s handling of this reservation and the circumstances surrounding his failure to arrive. I would also appreciate an explanation of what protections Uber provides to customers when a reserved driver fails to show and places the customer’s connecting travel arrangements at risk. I was extremely fortunate to make my train, but arriving only three minutes before departure demonstrates just how close this situation came to significantly disrupting my trip.

I'd give them an absolute zero stars if I could. These people are nothing but stealing crooks. I ordered an Uber for the Airport and the flat rate was 43 dollars. The Uber driver calls me to let me know where's he's at but the Uber is cancelled and tells me it's gonna be 200 to the Airport. Not only he's steals money he brings me to the wrong location and then the next day I have been charged 3 times. Don't use these crooks.

Charlie who is going to be picking me up at 4:00 a.m. when I went to. When I got up in the morning the app was saying my ride scheduled an early morning pick up the day before it was needed and everything was fine showing a driver namede was pending. One minute after the ride was supposed to arrive, the application said "sorry to disappoint you but there are no drivers available." Since this was to the airport to catch a flight you can understand my extreme annoyance. Adding to my frustration is the lack of any means to actually contact Uber for redress. We piled in the car and made it to the flight but had to pay an additional $70 in parking because we didn't pre-register our parking at the airport. Uber has consistently been a disappointment apparently to many folks and I am now one of them.

Taking an Uber in Istanbul: the time estimate was 30 mins short of what it actually took and then the driver tried to charge me for tolls because he went a different route. BUT the real problem is Uber's feedback system which is designed to make sure you cannot criticise Uber. Absolute crooks, and the longer they do business, the more crooked they get.

Never use Uber in Turkey. I was visiting Istanbul last week. Upon my arrival on 16September at the Istanbul Airport, it was already 2300. I used my UBER APP to call a car. A message from UBER asked me to contact the conductor at the Yellow Taxi stand with a special booking number. I did and was introduced to the Uber Driver Abdul Samet who took me to the Millennium Golden Horn hotel. The trip cost TRY2337.75 as per attached Takside POS receipt. I was asked to pay by my credit card upon arrival. Uber subsequently charged TRY 1778 on my credit card without my authorization. Either Uber is trying to scam me or Mr Abdul ** is dishonest. The same trip was charged twice. What a rip off! In fact Uber is the scammer!

I used to like the Uber app but they have added a new feature that if you want a normal fast Uber you will pay 30% more than if you now say..."I can wait 10 minutes for my Uber." I live in the city. You know at any given time there is an Uber driver within 2 minutes of my destination. When I chose, I can wait the app didn't even look for a driver until 10 minutes had passed. This is usury. Nothing short of underhanded highway robbery. I am so disappointed in the lack of integirty of Uber the company.

In my trip to PDX airport this weekend I was charged $34. The exact same trip back from PDX airport three days later was $53. There is no Surge Charge listed on my receipt. My car takes about $50 bucks to fill and I can go approximately 400 miles with a full tank of gas. I paid $13.50 per mile to go 5 miles on my second trip. There is NO option to get ahold of someone at Uber via chat, email, or phone, to ask why there is such a huge disparity in one charge from the other for the exact same trip. Deleted the Uber app and would appreciate if someone in our local government could pressure Uber to report clearly to consumers why there is a high leap in charges, AND that if they would like to continue doing business in our area they are required to provide access to customer service for fare disputes.

I recently noticed I received email from my bank charging me for an Uber fee I didn't use.. It happened 3 times now and the charge won't show in your activity of course cause it's not a real trip but they will charge your card. I normally will just use my card as it's convenient but since I notice these things I am removing my card after every use but there's a another thing. When I check again my card is save yet again on the app. I think this is something the people behind this app really need to check cause this is never fair and I will never use this app again. I wrote a complaint about it but no one ever responded so it is yet again. Useless. I just have to let people know about this scam going.

I scheduled an Uber ride to the airport three or four days in advance for a 6:10 a.m. pickup because I needed dependable transportation for a time-sensitive flight. When it was time for pickup, Uber was unable to connect me with a driver. After waiting and realizing the scheduled ride was not going to happen, I had to cancel and scramble for another option. I ended up paying a substantially higher last-minute fare for Lyft Priority pickup just to have a chance of getting to the airport in time. If Lyft had not come through, I would have missed my flight. Even with the Priority pickup, I barely made it.
Uber did not charge me for the cancelled ride, but that does not excuse the failure of a ride I scheduled days in advance. What makes this worse is that Uber has shown no concern for the disruption or the extra expense I incurred and has not offered to reimburse the difference. The whole point of scheduling an airport ride ahead of time is reliability; Uber failed completely when it mattered most. Completely unacceptable. Uber let me down, Lyft saved the day, and I will think twice before relying on Uber for an important trip again.

I signed up for a short ride with Uber that was quoted at $6.95. The car arrived outside early, and I got to the car within the five-minute waiting window of the posted arrival time. After the ride, when I received the receipt, a "waiting charge' of $1.81 had been added, even though the driver did not wait outside the standard arriving period. Then, to add insult to injury, Uber added a second "waiting charge" of $1.87 15 hours after the ride was completed. When I tried to address this through the standard Uber customer service channels, I got a complete runaround until I threatened to delete my Uber account if this was not fixed. What is wrong with this company and its customer service??

On the evening of Sept 11, 2026 I have made a reservation for Sept 12, 2026 with pick up time 5:45 AM and from an address in Coconut Creek, FL to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport. I selected and approved UberX for $36.95. When I got to the airport I received an email from Uber indicating that my card was charged $38.69 to cover tolls. It have taken rides from that address to the airport before and my card was never charged extra b/c the driver decided to take a toll highway.
I composed an email with proof that I did not approve for that extra charge but it bounced back specifying that Uber does not answer any email. I called Uber 800 phone no and was told the same. So I contacted my credit card and file a dispute. I checked Uber reviews on different sites and many riders state similar cases and never gotten a response from Uber.
Since it is ILLEGAL for Uber to charge an unapproved amount I decided to close my Uber account and uninstall the app on my cell. I WILL NEVER USE UBER AGAIN. People, they are other apps like Lyft in the USA, Didi in Mexico, etc... Those ride apps might charge a little higher but you can reach their customer service via phone and email, and they respond to complaints. Do the same as I did. It is by standing together that Uber will have no choice but to respect the law and not screw its customers over.

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.

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.

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.

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.
