We used Uber to and from the airport in Philadelphia in December. It was quick and convenient. But this is my only experience with them. I went with my boyfriend. I’m not sure if I’d feel as secure if I’d been alone. I don’t feel like they do a thorough background check on drivers. I’ve heard too many stories where the passenger is harassed or hurt.

In Las Vegas airport Uber pickup area... The Uber guy told me he was my ride but that was not true. He had another person he was picking up, when they arrived they were too big for us all to be in car. So he made me take my luggage from his trunk and call another Uber. He was Never my driver but I didn’t know that. (They all looked alike.) I wish I had his name.

I travelled with Uber driver Girish on 15th July 2018 in Pune, from Karvenagar to Pune airport. After the trip was completed, the driver asked for amount Rs. 340, and he did not mention anything about charging from my linked credit card. I paid the entire amount of Rs 340 to the driver in cash. NOW UBER IS CHARGING ME SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME TRIP, HORRIBLE CHEATING which is illegal, unethical, immoral and totally unjustified! They have refused to even talk with the concerned driver, and are constantly harassing me to pay the double amount for absolutely no reason.
All of us should know that UBER HAS A FRAUDULENT SYSTEM OF CHARGING MANY CUSTOMERS TWICE – once by driver in cash, and then again charged online, deducting from your credit card!!! This is how they make profits!! BEWARE OF UBER FRAUD AND CHEATING and inform all your friends and acquaintances to never travel by Uber – they are total cheats who can only be brought to their senses by organized consumers.

I’ve used Uber in several cities New York, Chicago, Orlando, Miami, Boston, Las Vegas. I feel safer when I can see a picture and car description in a society where it is so unsafe for women traveling alone. In Vegas it was the cheapest way to get to and from the airport. Boston didn’t allow airport pickup but I got one to return to airport, a savings of $20. If the cabs want to compete they need to adjust their rates and make us feel safer.

While I have encountered a few minor issues, they were indeed minor.

I saw on the APP, the economy car from NYC to Jersey City would be $46. I arrived and I was sent an email that said I was charged $72. I have been trying all day to get a refund and they will not take care of this. They just keep replying all sorts of random reasons why they cannot refund me, all using different cuts and pastes (Let me clarify, different people are answering the inexplicable reasons, with NO fair explanation.)
The last reason was this "We have reviewed your concern with this trip, and we're happy to help. We understand that you wanted credit, however, that is not in accordance with our standards at this time and we will be unable to fulfill this request. Please know that we review our standards on a regular basis and feedback like yours is invaluable as we continue to design more helpful support experiences for our riders. Your patience during this matter is appreciated."
This same response has been sent to me numerous times today. It is a complete nightmare to know what you ordered and the exact fare you agreed to pay, and to KNOW they are playing games.

I've stopped using Uber and switched to Lyft. Lyft is a hundred times better, and everyone agrees to that. It was a rainy day when I requested a trip. When I finished my trip, the next day I was charged $150 as a "Cleanliness Fee". I did NOT throw up or create a mess of any kind. But just because my shoes were wet they charged me that insane amount. On asking them, they replied with a photo of the "so-called-mess" saying the driver had to clean this up so he couldn't accept rides. There were small yellow petals lying on the mat, that a rider before or after me created. But charging me for WATER?!? The dumb ** don't know that the mat he had in car dries on its own in a few minutes, and he clearly charged me to make that money. I DO NOT APPROVE of this transaction as I did not create ANY mess.

I drive for both Uber and Lyft, they take more than 30%, in most cases they take 50%. I have screenshots and can prove that. Only in long journeys they take about 30% but locally they take more. I drive in Wilkes Barre PA where Uber and Lyft are not very popular so on weekdays sometimes I make $5/hour and it goes up to $8/hour on weekend after expenses. I drive a high-miles car so not concerned about depreciation. Uber pays 3.67 as minimum here for up to 2 miles, and most of the rides we get only are the minimum rides. Real examples from my Uber app: The rider paid $7.60, Uber got $3.93 (more than 50%) and I got $3.67. Another rider was charged $9.35, Uber got 4.74 (more than 50%) and I got 4.61. In 10.76 I got 5.90 and Uber got 4.86. Another rider paid 28.35. I got 17.45 and Uber got 10.90. From 11.91 I got 6.84 and Uber got 5.07. From 12.00 I got 7.54 and Uber got 4.46.
I don't understand their formula as they don't take a fixed portion as you can see from these examples but they take 30-50%, and as I said we do mostly minimum rides of 3.67 in this town so Uber takes mostly 50%. Lyft is almost exactly the same in terms of payments. In towns like this, you can't rely on Uber/Lyft only as source of income, sometimes I get only 4-5 rides in a 5 hours, sometimes I do 8-10 rides in the same time, so it's uncertain and unreliable. Don't forget that you will have to pay taxes as well at the end of the year, income from Uber/Lyft is recorded and you have to file taxes yourself through w9 or 1099, means you are self-employed and self employed pays more taxes than other payroll jobs.
Uber/Lyft should pay better and take less than 40-50% to encourage drivers to work for them. There are many drawbacks in their systems, you don't know where the rider needs to go. Example: I accepted a ride on Lyft and drove 8 miles to pick him up and he was going only 2 blocks away so I got only the base fare. Lyft don't pay good in long pick up, Uber is better there. If you don't accept a ride Lyft sends you repeated messages, their message is strange, it says 'it's in the benefit of the community to accept rides, it leaves good impression of our service blah blah'. Why don't they think that it's not in the benefit of the driver, driver is not a free community service, and if you are concerned about the community then donate your 50% share to driver so he can serve the community better.
Another negative side is I am allergic to dogs, I use my vehicle for family as well. but you can't deny a ride with a pet as it's considered a serious violation. I will leave Uber/Lyft because sometimes I feel that I am wasting time. Yes you are on a risk, I hit a car last week while got a ride request on Lyft, my focus was on the app, my fault though, that will affect my insurance in future. Positive side is that you have freedom of work, no boss, no manager, some extra income on the side if it's your part time job. In major cities drivers are making good money on Uber/Lyft.

I was shown a basic fare for the Uber ride that I booked and the amount is usually same for that route (even with Lyft). The ride was completed and the basic fare was deducted which was fine. However, later Uber decided to an additional 5$ on the base fare giving the reason that the route had a flyover where Uber takes surcharge or toll. I often go by that route but never have I paid any toll or surcharges before. I asked them why wasn't it shown in my base fare or when I booked the ride, they did not have any proper answer. I had attached the response to this complaint. Kindly refer.

The process goes likes this, it asks you to select the pictures with the keyword that was given in the heading like 'Cars', 'Streets' from the list of pictures. I was doing it for some time, but Oh my god, it was so frustrating that it never ends, it will ask for some more than 50 times and it really tests your nerves.

I recently needed the services of an Uber driver in order to make a doctor's appointment on time. I ordered the Uber the night before my appointment so as to avoid any problems that would potentially occur by doing so at the last minute. Little did this help as the driver could not find my address the next day and cancelled the pickup request causing me to run late. Some days later I found a $5 charge had been made to my credit card for the driver's cancellation. (I don't understand how Uber can get away with billing the customer for the driver's cancellation.) Consequently, I disputed the charge with my credit card company who immediately refunded my money.
Some days later, I attempted to use the Uber app to schedule another ride (from a completely different city & state) only to find I was unable to do so because of a $5 balance due!? I scrambled to find a customer service phone number only to discover there is none! Instead my phone app directed me to read through lots of verbiage to find a website which offered no help whatsoever. In the end, my efforts were a big waste of my precious time, energy and patience. My experience causes me to wonder how many other riders have been extorted by Uber. I have no intention of paying money I don't owe -- not even a mere $5.

Had my first ride with Uber. I was excited to get 15 dollars off my first ride. You see I have been taking Lyft back and forth most work days and since I am a well known rider my promos are somewhat limited. I spend enough for a car payment every 2 weeks and well I've never had a bad experience and even though most of my funds are used for this type of transportation, not once have I felt insecure or worried that I would be late or even have a thought of not making it at all. Today was a totally different experience. I ordered my ride on the Uber app and even though it's a little different I had no trouble figuring out how to add my 2 stops. I was charged and told my driver would arrive in 8 mins so my daughter, husband, and I waited at the front of my apartments at the office like we always do.
Time kept passing and on my app I was to expect my driver George in 8 mins, so some time went by and my app was still showing 8 min wait and this made me a bit nervous. I call George through the app and he picks up. I kindly ask him how far away he was because my app must be lagging to update and well he could only tell me he doesn't speak english. The call is dropped and so I call again and he answered and once again not realizing that he really does not understand a word I am saying I continue by asking if he was on his way and how far was he. Once again he says, "I speak no english," so I say, "Ok." I am really a little tense and well regretting the choice I made to take an Uber but it slowly eased when he pulls in and we get in.
The 1st stop was to drop off my husband and the way there I started to be less anxious. We dropped off my husband and George comes to open the van door as to help me out as well and I stated, "This isn't my stop. My daughter and I need to go to work." He said as he pointed to his cellphone's gps and said, "Uber no more..." I said, "Yes sir I paid for 2 rides and this is only the 1st ride." He then again pointed to his cellphone and said, "Uber no more..." At this point my husband is attempting to reason with him and George had no idea what we were saying and now I am truly worried. My daughter and I are trying anything now as far as google translator hoping this will help the communication block.
Finally he started to turn around due to it being an end road and stops the van to say once again, "Uber no more," as he points to gps. My daughter finally says into the translator from google that all he needed to do is update his ride on his app. He speaks into the translator and his message was, "I am at the end. No more directions for this ride or something in that area." Minutes pass and I am at the point to where I'm pleading with him, "Please sir we need to get to work."
I paid Uber for 2 rides. My daughter asks him for his device and updates his ride stop. I am almost in tears because I do not have the funds to get a Lyft from this point to my work but finally I was so defeated that I said to my daughter, "I guess we need to get out." He's not understanding that this ride had 2 stops. He's not understanding that I can give him the gps route to my work so then finally his app updates and he realizes that our ride was not finished and he drove us to work. I arrived and felt so bad I was almost in tears and I needed Uber to know even though he said sorry many times. I cannot believe this was my morning and how anxious and worried not having a ride to work that was paid for in advance and not being able to fund another ride because this driver couldn't communicate or understand his job.
I barely made it to work on time and my daughter and I were so stressed by the time we arrived. I am so disappointed in Uber and this entire experience has left me in total confusion. This driver needs to be coached and trained. I would hate for someone else to go through this. I feel that if I hadn't been so persistent and if I would have just got out when this started I would still be in Gilbert at my husband's job trying to figure out how to get my daughter and I to work. This was a horrible stressful ride and no one should have to start their day like this. Emailed Uber and they gave me some generic statement of how they regret I had such a bad experience and stated that they hold their drivers to a high standard but nothing else was said. I wish I would have read reviews before I took my first ride.

As an uber-veteran, I have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly. Yesterday, I forgot my phone in an uber vehicle. When I realized this, I used my room mate's phone to try to log into my account and contact the driver. However, I had forgotten my password. I decided to request a new one. That is where the trouble started. To help you retrieve your password, Uber has a two-step verification; they send you a four-digit code to your phone. This, of course, is for our safety. The problem is "how do you get the code if you don't have your phone?" The answer is easy. "Customer service." Right? Only mine was not so easy.
Unlike most companies, Uber has NO PHONE HELPLINE for customers. All the numbers online are an automated robot sending you back to the app if you are not in a fatal accident. For almost five hours, I sat next to my computer trying to get help with this issue. Out of desperation, I even tweeted uber. Uber customer service from Twitter responded to my problem and nudged the email customer service before I could get a response. To make matters worse, the email customer service (after five hours) replied by sending me THE SAME LINK which requires the two-step verification.
I am not able to go to work today since I can't uber there. To this point, I STILL haven't been helped. I wanted to cry, or yell. And I thought to myself, "Who does that help"? I decided instead, to use my voice as a social media influencer, to reach out to all of you. I am confident there are others out there who have experienced this too. Together, we can ask the new CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi to implement an uber customer service helpline for everyday customers like myself. He can understand that typing back and forth for hours delay help for issues which only require a 5-minute phone call. Every other company does this: banks, restaurants, manufacturers, airlines, etc. SOLUTION Please sign this petition, so uber can see how many of its customers urgently need this feature. Thank you.

I tried Uber for the first time when I flew to Miami on Tuesday, June 26. I'm not familiar with Miami airport so I just followed the exit/ground transportation signs to get outside. Once outside and not being sure how to use Uber, I asked a stranger outside if he knew how to use Uber and he told me was requesting an Uber himself. When he was done he helped me request an Uber, and showed me how to follow the driver on the app. While I'm waiting, I see at least 12 to 15 other people being picked up by Uber and/or Lyft.
When the app the driver about 4 minutes away, I get a message telling me the driver had to cancel and they were sending another driver that would an upgrade for me at no additional charge. I followed the second driver on the app and when it showed him being 1 minute away I started looking out for his vehicle, a GMC Acadia. I then see that the app shows the driver has arrived, I'm looking everywhere and I do not see a GMC Acadia. I asked another gentleman a few feet away if he was familiar with Uber and told me he was and was waiting on an Uber himself. I showed him my phone stating the driver had arrived. He looked and said he didn't see a GMC Acadia either. He then told to call the driver and showed me how.
I called the driver and he told me he was there and asked if I was downstairs. I said as far as I knew I was downstairs. He then asked if I saw any taxies waiting and I told him I did not see any taxies. He told me I needed to go down one more level where he was, and to hurry downstairs as the police were telling him he had to leave. I hurried downstairs and saw the GMC Acadia and finally got to his vehicle and hehe started off to my destination. Once he arrived to the street where my hotel was, he could not find the hotel. After 3 trips around the block I see a sign for the hotel's tavern and told him the hotel has to be there. He then told me to get out there and I did.
Two problems I have with Uber on my first and last experience with them. As I'm getting my expenses together for the trip to Miami, I reviewed the rides with Uber to print my receipts and saw they charged me a $6.00 cancellation fee for the first "DRIVER" who canceled. When I questioned it on the app, it stated the $6.00 would be issued as a credit the next time I use Uber. I did not see any way at all to request a refund to my card, I don't plan on ever using Uber again; so now I'm out the $6.00.
My second problem is I was charged a waiting fee for the driver who did pick me up because I had to go down one level where he was. When I got in his vehicle he told me Uber drivers can ONLY pick up on the lower level where the taxi stand is. I questioned about the 12 to 15 people I saw get picked up on the level I was originally on and he stated those drivers should not be picking up on that level. So now I paid an additional $15.00 (the waiting fee) on top of the $6.00 credit I have toward my next ride. I will not use Uber again, but I will try Lyft to see if they are any better. If not, I go old school and take taxies.

I have been taking Lyft for couple of days now and their application is totally accurate with the fare. I took Uber today, the same service UberX and their application says $18 (same amount as Lyft) and took it because I know I have a $5 discount from my recommendation (and I am regretting it now) but when I received the receipt, It says that my fare is $23, and deducted my $5.00 discount and a total of $18...

My wife and I took a train to NYC and when we got to the street a driver asked if we needed a Taxi which we said yes. When we got to his car we saw it was a SUV. I asked if he was an UBER driver and he said yes. I asked him to take us to the cruise ship terminal which was approx. 2 miles away. When we arrived he said that it would be $60.00 Yes $60.00. We were very disappointed because he did not give us a price to our destination. When the cruise was over we ended up taking a TAXI back to Penn center which we were charged $10.00. This was a bad experience for us and NYC should have better control of UBER drivers. I thought they were supposed to be in line with the Taxis. UBER just got their first and last trip from us.

They use to be decent but I've found that the drivers are ignorant and racist in certain areas. Uber has no control of the drivers so the quality sucks. I had a driver nodding at the light (obviously high)...I got out of his car, he complained to Uber on me and they suspended my account...lol. They didn't investigate that the driver was a junkie.

My Uber arrived on time, car was clean though it reeked of cologne and had an overwhelming smell of either a car or a dog. I get in the car and get about a mile up the road and the Uber driver is heading in the direction of the neighboring county, though I'm in the next county in the complete opposite direction. I told him to turn around and go down a road heading in the correct direction to my home, but he blurted out, annoyed stating "that road is shut down, and I can drop you off here and you can wait on the next Uber". I stated that I was not getting out, and “I don't care which way you take”, it just better be $24.14 like Uber stated on their website, which I screenshotted.
A 30 minute trip (when I'm driving, no tolls roads-either interstate or back roads), quickly turned into a 53 minute car ride. Going through lake county, though I left Seminole county to go to Orange county took me 13 miles out of my way. Not to mention, in Lake County while getting on the 429 till road, a car got in front of him (about 5 seconds reaction time) and instead of breaking, and allowing him to go, he kept speed while honking the horn, and cut the wheel hard, and got in the entrance bypassing him from the rear of the car.
By that time I forced my seatbelt on! Ready to get out of the car with this weird ** man, I made him drop me off at the entrance of my complex. Relief and relaxation quickly went out of the window when I got home, charged my phone up and looked at my statements! Uber charged me $24.14 on my debit card, and ($3.00+3.00+6.00.6.00+39.67) $57.67 on my credit card. Livid is definitely an understatement to how I am feeling right now. Receipt is not showing on Uber's website yet, so I'm waiting until it posts on my credit card, and I vow this is my first and last time ever using Uber! I will stick with public transportation next time!

Take Uber services at your own risk! Drivers may hoodwink you into paying more or cash for a non-cash trip! Uber help will wash their hands off and refuse to even contact the driver to sort out the issue! U Bet and End up Risky! I took a trip which had a Rs.75/- coupon applied. At the end of the trip Uber displayed Rs.279.82/- The driver asked me to pay what is displayed on the screen because he is unable to see it on his screen. I paid him 280/- and left the car. When I checked the Uber receipt, I found the trip cost to be only Rs.204.82/- I contacted the driver who offered to return the money; but later retracted. Uber also said they are unable to help. Uber displays two rates for a single trip; one higher and the other lower but displayed only in the receipt section. You will first notice the higher amount and pay!!! A system designed to allow drivers to take more money.
In the second instance, I selected PayTm as payment option. The driver requested me to pay in cash at the end of the trip, and I obliged. The amount is still shown as OUTSTANDING. I called the driver and recorded his voice. He confirmed as having paid the amount. But, Uber still insists that I pay online too for the same trip. They didn't want to contact the driver to solve the issue when the matter is still fresh in his mind. For all my complaints they give the same reply!!! U Bet and End up Risky???

I set up an Uber account. Great! (or so I thought) I used the service frequently, always maintained a score of 5.0 clearly displayed on my account beside my picture in my profile. I had to factory reset my phone, could not get my account back. Tried to re-register and was told my phone number was already in use. Received an email after finding some random way to complain through their app and was told the agent had to enter my account and set my phone number. Fine, no problem. Started off with a new account and went to add my picture and could not. I emailed back the same agent at which point he referred to me as a driver. I used Uber 4 times and just had a random email sent to me from Uber showing my score suddenly at a 4.87. How, I have no idea. I tipped, was friendly, showed up on time, gave 5 stars. My account still does not let me add my picture and does not show my score.
Meanwhile, in order to contact Uber, you can only do so through the app and they just list topics that they think you might want to complain about or need help with, my topic apparently wasn't one of them. Uber has to step up their customer support program. IT IS NOT WORKING. And this rating system is not a fair rating system apparently either. Drivers, nor riders cannot see who rated them or why. How can you improve when you don't even know the rules of the game? You would think that with so much happening to Uber that Customer Support would be better. It's just common sense guys. An 800#, emails, and immediate attention to solve the problem. Come on... seriously?

So generally, I prefer Lyft over Uber mainly because over time it became apparent to me that Lyft has a better attitude towards its customers than Uber. And my suspicion was confirmed a few months ago when the story broke about sexual harassment claims at Uber and how they were handled. Until now though, I had never really experienced first-hand the callous nature of Uber's leadership. Here is my story:
I ordered an Uber to take me from my hotel to the airport and since I had time on my hands I ordered the Pool. When the driver arrived, the older gentleman, whose English was not too good - for which I am not judgmental as an immigrant myself - seems somewhat confused about whether or not I was his passenger. It seemed that the first rider who was in the vehicle was also headed to the same airport so the gentleman thought he had already picked up the airport passenger. After some back-and-forth discussion I decided politely to just take a taxi from the hotel and let the driver go on about his business.
Shortly after I arrived at the airport I checked my Uber app only to realize that I had been charged for the ride, which, of course, I didn't take. So I immediately filed a request with Uber technical support for a refund. Not 10 minutes later, tech support replied and informed me that their records indicate that a trip from the given source and destination as I requested had indeed taken place so they could not issue me a refund. What basically happened is that the driver didn't cancel my portion of the ride so it appeared that both passengers were on the trip.
I replied with a scathing reprimand asking them to do their due diligence and contact the driver to confirm that I did not take the trip before making a judgment and suggesting that I was being dishonest. And it seems that this prompted them to act and shortly after they replied apologetically and indeed issued me a refund.
My issue here is not the older gentleman, whose accent was not so great and appeared about the trip, or the encumbered cost of the trip, but rather the dismissiveness I experienced from Uber when I filed a complaint. Without any due diligence they made a judgment assuming I was in the wrong and then dismissed my case. As I noted in my scathing follow-up to them, that attitude is typical of the toxic Uber culture, which played out none more horribly than callous way in which they dealt with complaints from female employees about sexual harassment.
It seems to be an institutional norm for them that 'they are right and you are wrong.' It's very condescending and vexing to be made subject to that sort of attitude. I think it has no place in the industry. Needless to say, I deleted the Uber app and will resume using Lyft, as I did after the scandal. I actually only recently started using Uber again because they offered a discount on up to 10 rides. Shame on you Uber. You all need to tighten up.

When we got dropped I got out to help my friend who was seated at the back seat to get into the building. Before entering the building I realized that had left my phone in the Uber. After getting inside the building I attempt to call the Uber driver but he ignored all my calls. The phone rung but he never picked up. I called the driver multiple times and left him several voice mails to call me back. But he never called back. I went ahead and contacted Uber customer service and they informed me they've notified the driver about my phone. However, the driver stated he did not see any phone. But after tracking my phone it showed the device was in the Uber and got turned off 10 mins after he had dropped us... Such drivers are giving Uber a bad reputation.

I advised Uber I would take a drug test and do anything needed to suffice the allegation, however Uber decided upon themselves to shut down my driving status for not 24 but 48hrs instead... Uber lies, and so does the customer's supposed allegation that can't be proven... There should be protocol for things of that nature, however there aren't.

Yesterday Uber had charged me $43.70 for 20 minutes 8.1 miles long drive that we were making two times a week for the past 2 years and usually costed us $18-21. I have contacted Uber and they claim that the charge is justified because it happened during alleged peak hours and after back and forth correspondence offered to credit me back 25% of that charge, which is still way too high. Let us run the numbers. Effectively, what Uber is trying to say by defending this charge of $43.70 for 20 minute 8.1 miles long ride is that your driver is making $131.10/hour that would translate into $272,480 annual salary!!! Really? An executive salary for the taxi drivers and you are expecting the general public to believe this nonsense!?! Which percent of this revenue the driver is actually going to see?
With all due respect, everybody knows how much Uber drivers are making and it is nowhere close to the figure calculated above. This is a pure profit for corporate Uber not a stayed “incentive” to its drivers. We were making the same identical ride for over two years and the price increased from $15 - to up to $21, which could be justified by gas prices fluctuations. Yesterday, during the same time Uber was giving me a lower rate for a direct ride from my office in a neighboring state for 3 times longer trip for the same destination. Uber needs to stop ripping off its customers!!! This is a sure way to destroy company business reputation and consequently to lose business.
The ONLY reason to why people are using Uber is a perceived superior value compared to the competition to the end customer, this is what their entire business model is based on. The company should NOT use “peak hour argument” to justify ridiculous charges! I hope this review is helpful for customers who had similar experiences. Be very careful about recent unjustified ridiculously high prices.

I usually purchase a Uber Gift Card to run weekly errands as Uber. The reason why I use that method was because every time I used my bank card Uber puts a ridiculous hold on my card causing my bank account to be overdrawn. To combat that issue I started purchasing the Uber Gift Card. This past weekend, I was preparing to go grocery shopping and tried requesting for an Uber using my gift card credit. This was a short trip literally 4 blocks at that. I received a message saying try a new payment method, so I said I will add another Uber gift card. That didn't work, so I called a local cab to pick up me up and take me to the store. I thought it may have been an issue with the application, so I went on shopping. I had already placed money on the gift card and wanted to use it to get back home. Another message advising me I must add a new payment method.
At that point I was furious because my bank card was not working. I eventually had to use Lyft as my groceries were melting in the 93 degree heat. I sent numerous messages on Sunday and they continue to give me these lame feedback. I have requested for a refund. Nothing digital. A check because I have 50 dollars credit in Uber I cannot use.

When I complained to Uber Eats' customer service I was told to rate restaurant but I tried 4x to explain I don’t believe it was restaurant's error due to bags being cold that I believed it was driver.

I just tried to schedule a pickup for Tuesday morning at 545 am the time I usually travel and the Uber X (which I always take) is $82.00. This price has continually gone up over 4 months. Uber is no longer a viable option for me.

My wife decided to start driving for Uber and Lyft this summer as a means of earning a small amount of additional income. Sadly she's been made to realize this was a major mistake. At least on the Uber side of things. We live in Tucson, Arizona, and on the Uber site it states that our city has no fee associated with vehicle inspection. However, after signing up and getting all her ducks in a row she came to find that her account had a negative -$20 balance. She has since called five times and been told each time that she will be credited within 24 to 72 hours. She's even gotten emails indicating this will occur. Yet here we are two weeks later and nothing has happened.
She feels dumb since she's given rides for the company and realizes these were at her own expense since it seems they will never be crediting her for their own internal error. I'm deeply enraged by this subject as my wife deserves to be treated as an outstanding employee and shouldn't have to call Uber several times without them taking action to help her out of an issue that was in no way created due to fault of her own. If someone from Uber reads these please contact us to correct the above complaint.

I used Uber two years ago in Philly multiple times and never had a problem. Had no need to use them again until the third week in May 2018. Logged into the app and scheduled a ride. Everything went well and the driver arrived as expected. I took my ride, tipped the driver in cash (who was very nice and polite) and thought that was the end of it. When I got my emailed receipt, the ride was $10 more than it should have been! I contacted Uber through email to resolve and they claimed that I chose the "Uber XL" trip, which was more $$ (I have to assume because my driver came in a newer Cadillac Escalade?), but I ABSOLUTELY did NOT choose that ride option when I booked it. I remember seeing it as an option, but that's not what I wanted nor chose.
I sent them emails THREE TIMES explaining that I never chose that more expensive option but they could CARE LESS... I explained that even if I HAD chosen the wrong trip, the right thing to do (to keep a customer happy) would be to refund me anyway, but they simply REFUSED... I even told them that I was going to share my experiences with Uber online, but it mattered NOT to them. So here we are... As evidenced by the other bad reviews, I am clearly not alone.

I had Uber drive me about one mile distance to pick up my car from repairs. It wasn't the first time I rode Uber but this time I was told to take the rear seat against my protests. C'mon now, I'm just a little old lady. Would do no harm sitting in front. I was unable to fasten my seatbelt as it just won't go it. Meanwhile the car was already moving so I had no choice. I guess the driver didn't care about their passenger's safety. Next time will try Lyft. I have no order number on hand as this ride was arranged by the auto repair shop. I don't own a smartphone. The ride took place on May 25 in the afternoon.

Me and my wife and our son recently visited Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While we got an Uber to a popular night spot approximately 15 min from our hotel. I thought the price was a little high going there, $30.00, but to my amazement, that was just their advertised price, to get back from the same spot, the price jumped to $65.00, more than double for the same distance. That's why we started using Uber several years ago to get away from the price gouging cab drivers, but now looks like Uber is the ones we need to be leery of. I will not be using Uber again. Try Lyft, same ride for $20.00. Shame on you Uber.

This was our first time using Uber - My husband wanted a ride to and from Smart Financial Center for an event. We had difficulty getting the first attempt at making a future reservation to take and ended up with someone on the way on the wrong day. We cancelled that ride successfully and was billed $10 for the cancellation. The next day we successfully got the reservation set up for the pick up.
The driver was great and service exceptional. The problem, however was that my husband's AMEX card was charged two $1 charges, a $75.24 charge on the failed try, a $15 charge on the trip day, an $89.02 charge at 6:30 pm and then an $89.62 charge at 7:40 pm, and finally a $128.57 charge on the return trip. The accounting in My Trips only shows the valid charges and the AMEX hits are currently pending. However the fact that the card was hit so many times alerted the fraud division of AMEX and they shut down the card until they could contact us.

Got an Uber for a 5 mile one way trip. Everything seemed fine, paid fare and gave $15 tip which I thought was generous given the extremely short ride. Received message the next day that driver reported that I left an item in her car and she returned it to me resulting in an additional $15 fee paid directly to driver. I left NOTHING in vehicle and she dropped NOTHING off to me. Googled and apparently these fraudulent fees for lost item returns and cleanings that never happened are common amongst Uber drivers to increase their income. Beware.

While working for Uber, Uber gives you the option to do InstaPay so you can cash out up to 5 times a day, they boast, they also charge you $0.50 per transaction. I made two transactions on InstaPay the weekend of May 19/20. Although I never received my instapay transactions and was still charged the dollar for the transfers. Uber refuses to give my money back, stating that I accepted the fees! The problem with that statement is of course, that I never received what I paid fees for! If they do this to all of their drivers, I don't understand how they could ever have money problems!!! True scam artists & at least one very displeased Uber "partner". Not to mention that if you drive food for them that they send the driver to restaurants far from you so they make more money??? Very unprofessional Uber, Shame On You!

I’ve been driving for Uber for a while. I believe Uber is faking its surges to charge more to customers during masked high demand times (customers pay more when demand is high during surges, however, per my experience there is considerably less demand or enough drivers showed up in the area that there is no reason to increase the rates during those surge times). I will make it simple. The following happened many time so I can tell that it was definitely not an error occasion, but a strategy to increase rates at surge times.
So, here is the case. I am right in the middle of surge. Let’s say it showed me 2.0x and I was accepting trips. The surge jumped to more than 3.0x. Within next 5-10 minutes I still could not get any trips. If I was there and could receive the trip why people would be charged more showing high demand. I am calling authorities for a review on this. By the way my acceptance and satisfaction rate was high enough to blame (*4.9+).

Let me tell you first I’m a very nice and educated lady, and I’m driving a Uber for a month part time, while waiting for summer semester to start. I rarely complain and write bad reviews. But now I can’t remain silent. Uber owners, you don’t care of your drivers at all! You pay us $12 per hour (on average), it’s a shame!! Because I will not drive anyone for $ 12, minus I using my car, so basically it’s $9 per hour BEFORE taxes!! I did Pool Uber, I drove 1 hour 30 minutes nonstop, and guess what they paid me? $ 21! Minus gas, it’s $ 16-18! And riders are very demanding, especially when they are in the POOL, and after all “turn here, stop there, give me water, air conditioning on a cold day“ they don’t leave tips!!!
Dear Uber riders, please, at least leave $2 tip for your driver!! Especially when you live in luxury downtown and demand stuff from your poor Uber driver! We get only 50% from what you actually pay to Uber! Uber, make 20% tips mandatory, otherwise you’re taking advantage of us, your drivers who trying to make ends meet!

On vacation in Hollywood, Fl a month ago and needed a ride to Miami Cruise Port. DoubleTree Hotel recommended an Uber ride to Port. Signed up, created account, and driver arrived across street. No worries, we pulled our luggage to her. She was a young Spanish girl, barely spoke English, beautiful new car. Off she went on interstate, barreling along UNTIL traffic called to a screeching halt. She slammed brakes, skidded into left lane and with horns honking, barely missed getting hit from every direction. She shook her hands upset and started up again with traffic.
Barreling again, following too close, this time slams brakes and was inches away from hitting car in front. I yelled at her to slow down, stop following close and pay attention. I had a feeling it was the end of our lives. Our fault for not having her immediately pull off exit ramp and let us out. We made it to Port safely afterwards, but God was on our side because she had zero skills driving on interstate. We came so close to be killed. I will never use the company again. Next time, I will use a van service or taxi. Not worth the extra money saved. I will never forget the trip through hell.

I ordered an Uber in Albany NY this morning. I selected Albany Airport as my destination. The driver arrived on time in a car that seemed dingy and small but it was supposed to be a short ride so no problem. Except that it turned out not to be a short ride at all. To reach the airport, he needed to take a right out of the parking lot and then another left at the major intersection. It's knew that it was that simple to find and I had only been in the city 3 days. He took a left out of the parking lot and I questioned him as I knew that was wrong.
I couldn't understand his answer but assumed he knew some back way (which wouldn't be necessary as traffic was very light). I became more concerned as he drove on some obscure back roads and eventually arrived at an empty dead end on the opposite side of a field. Presumably it was still airport grounds, I don't know, but would only be for offsite workers and not passengers. He blamed the Uber GPS and said (nicely) that I didn't make the correct Albany Airport selection when I ordered my ride.
It may be that because Uber has multiple locations for the Albany airport that I could have accidentally selected the wrong one but I was from out of town and had no reason to believe that when I selected Albany Airport. I would need to analyze further. Nonetheless, the driver should have at least possessed a passing knowledge of where the airport is. He knew I was a passenger going to the airport to catch a flight and I had my bags with me. Regardless of what the GPS said, they should have used common sense to get me to the airport terminal. What should have been a 5 miles drive and a matter of minutes took a full 25 minutes and covered 13.5 miles. I should have called a taxi because in all my travels I've never encountered a cab driver who didn't know how to go to the airport. And $22 for a short trip in a crappy car is no bargain.

He was in front of the house before I could cancel, so I was billed $5.00 for a cancelled ride. The UBER company APP is lousy when it comes to scheduling advance rides, furthermore, when the driver arrives before you can cancel, you are still billed for the call. When trying to contact UBER directly, you cannot do it. No number exists for the city in which you are scheduling the ride and no number exists for a one to one contact to explain your situation. The only number is a help option but it does not work for complaints, only for emergencies. Not going to use Uber in the future.

I tried to contact the driver directly using the Uber App and sent message to the driver but no response from the driver and then the Uber App sent me a notice saying my session timed out and next thing I know is that Uber charged me a $6+ ride cancellation fee... and I did not even cancel nor did the driver show up and we were stranded, missing out on our appointment and having our entire day ruined.
Uber is really screwed up and in reading this morning about Uber reviews on Consumer Affairs and in Facebook I can clearly see that we are not the only people having such problems with Uber. It seems that at least 80% of the reviews are negative and that many times Uber and/or the driver submit falsified reports of extra charges against the consumer. I will never again use Uber and recommend that anyone even considering Uber to do their research and take heed in those negative reviews, which are a direct reflection of Uber service, in my opinion - poor and unsatisfactory in the least and a fraud in the worst.

26 April, 2018, Maryland, USA. I ordered an Uber to Dulles airport. There was no incident during the trip that resulted to a damage or spillage... No vomiting, no eating, no drinking. Beverages. I drank bottled water only. When we were dropped off at the airport, the driver did not complain of any damages neither were they any damage to his car’s interior and exterior. He even dusted his entire car in our presence before taking off while we loaded our luggages in the cart. However, 12 days after the trip, Uber deducted and extra $80 from my account as cleaning fee. After writing to them and demanding clarity, I was sent a picture of a huge mess on one of the car seats. If my mom or older sister or myself made such a mess, it could not have been hidden. I am so shocked by the picture and its source. A vomit of this nature cannot go unnoticed.
I find this unacceptable and disturbing because Uber seems to abuse riders' credit cards just because it is registered in their system. This is gross violation. If they do not refund this money within 1 month then I will close the Uber account never to be used again. Shame on you Mr. ** in the USA with Honda Pilot ** for such a disgusting act. You came across as a good driver but you have disgraced yourself by charging me for something unjustly and even sending false evidence. We did not mess your car. None of us ate, or vomited in the car. None of our luggages even leaked because all the luggages were intact after the 22 hours flight back to my country. God is watching you!

The next morning they emailed to notify they were correcting my charge to add an $80 cleaning fee! I am disputing this, but the truth is the driver was creating extra charges. I didn't spill or do anything to his vehicle, nor did he advise me of adding a cleaning fee. He complained endlessly during the trip of his late car payment.

If you’re planning to use Uber, beware of extra added fees and know that the app is not easily understandable. You can only book a ride using their app. It does not allow you to review your ride before purchasing it. You are booking a ride unaware that you have booked it. A car shows up, you get charged and if you're not there, you get charged a $5.00 cancellation fee. Drivers are supposed to call or text you when they arrive, but some don’t. They drive off because you can’t find them and you get charged for the ride and another late fee. There are no human beings available to talk to when you have problems. You have to manoeuvre around in their app to send an email to customer service. This company is a money making rip off. I would not recommend using it, especially if you’re not familiar with apps.

HUGE WARNING TO UBER USERS!!! I will never use UBER again - every time I tried to add my home address, it would find it on the map and then when I would try and add it to my favorites, it kept adding a different address with the same street name in Toronto. I live in Chelsea QC 4.5 hours away!!! But that wasn't clear from their app because on the list of favorites it only shows the street name and not the town.
When I first got in the Uber car, the guy went, "WOW, you want a drive from here to Toronto... That's 4.5 hrs". He had to manually enter the address in his system. Then when I selected a 15% tip at the end of the trip, it calculated it on a fare for the original 4.5 hour trip. The $62 flashed by and I said wait a minute... It can't be that much? He showed me that the fare was $14 on his system and Uber only adds 20% so it will be less than $20. I said, "Are you sure?" He said yes. I felt dumb because it was only the second time I had used Uber so got out. After he left, I double checked my phone and saw that yes the fair was $20 but a tip of $62 was added even though I chose the 15% tip option. It must have calculated it on the original 4.5 hour fair. Now they will only give me a credit on my Uber account and NOT a refund on my card. On top of that his car was old and rattled although he was nice enough. The whole experience was bad. BEWARE!!!

They did not do that, and then started asking to provide all of that information again and I had already done that 4 times.
They did send me an email for one of the charges, but all Uber did was charge my business card and jacked up the ride and my tip, so I was not only charged twice, but also more than the original rate and tip a week later. Then I received a call from a man stating he was with Dun and Bradstreet and wanted me to take a survey. When I asked him what the survey is for, he said "This is about your complaint to Uber.

My 15 year old son ordered an Uber. The driver got on our street and never stopped. He had canceled the ride, we finally was able to message Uber and they credited $5 back to his account which isn’t supposed to post until 1:00 a.m. On top of that the ride was $7.10 so they cheated a child out of $2.10. Bad company to use. So I had to call Lyft. They came through.

On April 16th, I purchased a $10 Uber gift card to add to my credits to ensure I had enough credits to go to store and back home. This brought my credit balance to 13.50, one way ride was $6, therefore, I would have the $12 total to cover there and back, well I thought. On attempt to confirm ride home I had no credits remaining, even after the first ride receipt only showed $6. This left me stranded and having to walk 4 miles home because I had no more payment options. Contacted Uber via email when made it home. They gave me some dumb excuse about an authorization hold on an additional $6 to ensure there was enough on payment method to cover trip. Well first of all, this policy relates to debit or credit card use, and secondly, I've ride many times using gift cards and this never happened. Well they continued to reply saying the hold was released and I should contact my bank. HILARIOUS... what bank... idiots, I used YOUR UBER gift card.
Then they tell me the hold should have been released and credited back to my Uber account within a couple of hours. Well it's been 2 days, still nothing. The fact that this business is willing to lose a 5 star regular customer over $6 says a lot about how much they value your business. It isn't amount the amount for me, it is the inconvenience of being stranded and having to walk 4 miles home, after purchasing a gift card to ensure I have enough credits to cover this. Moral of story, if you are using an UBER gift card to cover your UBER ride make sure you purchase DOUBLE the amount because they will put an "authorization hold" on one amount and then deduct another charge of same amount. And do nothing to rectify the situation. A very comical and shady business practice. I've included screenshots of them advising me to contact my bank. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Our first UberXL (1-6 people) was $53 for 21 miles. No problem. When it came time to leave later that evening we selected the same Uber except the upfront price shown was $54.82. That was fine. When we arrived at our drop off destination another simple 21 miles away our ending fare was $124.42... Confused I contacted Uber since this was our first time using the service and I was told that the fare was correct and they up the prices at night to encourage drivers to be there. I was told there was nothing they could do and was assured that the fare was correct.
After several messages later they credited my account $31.10 to make up for the misunderstanding which does me no good because I will never use their service again. It would be worth staying sober the whole night and driving everyone home for the price it ended up costing us grand total with tips. Our drivers were very good and safe though. Nothing against them.

Wait time fee assessed being the following conditions are true. I ordered the Uber in the exact location I was standing when the Uber arrived. The Uber driver did NOT await on me one second as I was waiting in an obvious location that is easily visible from anywhere in the parking lot. According to the policy, although the driver didn’t wait for me - I was the one who waited. “A fee will be begin a few minutes after your driver arrives” & “We will notify you that a charge has started”. Neither of these conditions occurred.
This seems to be a regular shady practice. This isn’t normally something I would notice however since it occurred before I was reviewing the bill. It’s bad enough they charge all these surcharges and fees when it’s clearly not high/volume or peak times (you can see Uber’s in area). They also charge duplicate charges (base fare, distance, time, booking fee) there all for the same thing. It’s ridiculous that I go to the same place at same time every week and the price deviates such significant percentages. This is not the 1st time this wait time charge was assessed when I was waiting outside.

When I first started riding with Uber a year ago the price was OK and when they were "surging" it was usually early morning, holidays and late night. Now it seems like the surging is constant. Price is one thing and another minute later it's ten dollars or more higher and it's not even a holiday or early morning or weather conditions. Drivers are charging fees for things that haven't happened, like spills, cleaning fees, burnt cigarettes. I don't smoke, but I learned early on always take pictures before and after your trips 'cause drivers will try to get you. They aren't ending trips on time, they're canceling without even getting close to the pickup spot. This company is out of control in pricing and driver and company customer service.
I have a car but I use to use them if I didn't want to pay high parking fees. But believe me it's so much cheaper 'cause you never know when Uber is "surging" which is all hours of the day, even though on my phone map it will show numerous cars sitting close by but they're in high demand. Yeah okay. I'm done with these ride sharing apps. They are scamming and it's too much to get your money returned 'cause there's no one to talk to. Emailing them take forever. Good luck to anyone needing them. This company should be held to some sort of laws about how much they can charge on a short or long trip. $95.05 for a 3.3 mile trip is ridiculous. And then they want you to tip, and I'm one who believes in that. But tipping is based upon service, and to me Uber is not delivering that anymore.

I've been using Uber for 2 years now. They started off as a great company but they've been steadily increasing their fares. I have noticed a trend with them as of recently. Several Uber drivers will sit in a parking lot and do nothing and jacked up the prices of rides. I go just under 3 miles to work and just under three miles back home. Not a very long distance but they tried to charge me as much as $40 S4 just 3 miles.
They often go to the wrong place and blame me for it when I clearly tell them where to go and now they charged a wait fee as well. I think there should be a limit to how much they can charge on their so-called surcharges. $40 for two and a half miles is crazy and I even got within 1 mile of my house by walking and it was still $38. There is no limit to how high they will go and their charges. Half their drivers don't even know where they're going. Some don't even speak English.

Like many others Uber charged me multiple cancellation fees that were driver's fault, not mine. Instead of refunding my Gift Card, they issue me Uber Credit. That credit has not been used for payment on the 30 trips I have made since it was sent to me. I have sent close to 100 messages to HELP and they assured me that if I added more money on my gift card it would be applied on next trip. 30 trips and $350 later, credit still there. After 45 days of constantly getting rides denied for insufficient funds, when my gift card/Uber credit amount that is combined together in payment was more than enough, I went to Houston Greenlight Hub. They too refuse to help me out and actually had security force me off the property.
Only thing I got out of them is that Uber Credits cannot be used with gift card payment, only bank cards. So that means that HELP's messages assuring me that next gift card will work was BS. They told me I had to apply a valid bank card to use credits. I told them that I refuse to since they were hacked and customers information and money was stolen from their servers. The reply given by the MANAGER of the Hub was, "I guess you don't want that credit then huh".
These people don't care one bit about their paying customers and need to be exposed for the crap they pull. I'm sending emails to my local news station and paper with the details and support messages sent, in hopes that they will do a story on Uber. I hope that others will do the same. They will keep screwing us with bogus charges and refuse to correct them until someone stands up and let everyone else know how they do business. To me it's unfathomable how they don't have a customer service phone number to call. They pretty much put Yellow Cab out of business and took over the #1 spot, but no C Service to speak to?
Almost seems like they don't care or know that if they did they might actually have to give the money they took back. Either way, I'm going to do all I can to inform as many people possible of their unwillingness to properly provide customers with any type of real contact information and refusal to reimburse those who they improperly charged. That's stealing in my eyes and they should get punished like anyone else would if they did the same.

Uber as a company does not care about consumers. First, there is no way to communicate or get support. Second, there is no consistency between the website and the app. What can be done in one cannot in the other and vice versa. Third, the app does not always do what it is told. For instance I wanted to pay with a credit card and it defaulted to another account even though I specifically chose the CC. Fourth, the app rates the rider but does not give feedback. How does a rider know what they did that offended the driver so they can correct it? Finally, the web page and the app are cumbersome. It is extremely ironic that a user has to verify.

In this payment the driver is paying for gas charges, toll charges, time duration, safe driving skill and etc. After dropping off to customer, driver must have to come back to his hometown as well. While coming back, the driver is not allowed to pick any passenger from JFK NY legally. After all the driver can save only $150. I got paid $153 only from Uber. And Uber charged $215 from customer. Which also very low. In this whole trip both side I put my life in risk and provided neat and safe ride with expert safe driving skill.
In this amount I paying my tax and many more travel expenses. And I save nothing after spending my whole day. I cannot drive in NYC area with Uber legally. It requires TLC NYC License for driving with Uber in NYC. I came back without having any passenger. This is totally unfair with any driver in Uber. I did not earn anything from this Uber ride.

Which amount any driver cannot say that he/she had made good money. In any business an investor always charges for service a reasonable amount, in that amount investor is making his/her business expenses and profit.
Then the investor can say happily that he/she had made something good. Uber expects with the driver to provide neat and clean vehicle with safe driving skill.

I had to find another Uber near my place, one uber near us took 5 minute to pick-up will cost about $24.00, I booked the Uber and paid VISA credit card. After one minute I had received a text from Uber that traffic or order was heavy, price might be increased, you may cancel it within 5 minute without canceling fee.
For catching time to arrive school, I had no right to care it which I thought might be maxi increase to 50% that all. The driver is very friendly and we arrived school just on time.

I've been taking Uber to work and back, while the car gets fixed. I have a few things I'm pissed about. First for one thing I had to go to work this morning and every time a driver accepted my ride, they would cancel on their way to pick me up, that happened 3 times. I didn't want to be late for work. One of the drivers suddenly texted me and said he can't do my ride and the idiot tells me to cancel. I got a charge for canceling. Then another idiot driver that accepted to give me a ride, he stopped driving. ( I saw him on the map) just sitting there a long time, he texted me finally and asked me if I would mind if he changes vehicles? I didn't answer him, so the weirdo canceled my ride. I'm very angry at this point, so I tried Lyft (which is much better) and I got a ride from them right away. I made it to work on time.
Later I checked my bank account and Uber charged me for a ride I didn't take. They took 19 dollars, another day they took $19.12 from my account on March 4th, when my daughter sent for the ride with her phone and paid for it! Don't use these crooks! I'm angry they stole money out of my bank account falsely! I heard on the radio they're being sued and I hope they get put out of business! Worst drivers ever! Use Lyft!

Until a week ago I would always prefer and use Uber as a choice. It was good service at the affordable price rate. The rate was always below the yellow cab rate. Since a week Uber started increasing rate. It is I think based upon the demand and area you are travelling to. It cost now almost 40% more than normal rate. I find this very unethical as it is done w/o informing customer. I feel being cheated and I am so pissed off that I don’t want to use Uber anymore. The other day I got a ride from Sunnyside to Manhattan with Uber at $34 and on my way back I took a yellow cab which cost $20. This is unbelievably ridiculous.

I have used UberRush multiple times to deliver flower arrangements from my floral shop. I had a problem in November of 2017 and in February of 2018. When you call the support number, it is routed out of the country always. With all due respect, often the person trying to help has a strong accent which can make it difficult to understand what they are saying as well as, often, the reason for my call is often lost in translation. WHY IS UBER UNWILLING TO PROVIDE HELP WITHIN THE UNITED STATES?
They instructed me to send an email to help Uber.com which I did both times. The email response that I received in both instances clearly was written by someone whose first language is not English, as the response had numerous grammatical errors and did not provide any sort of answer that made sense. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR UBERRUSH IS RIDICULOUS. I have to wonder why Uber allows this given the bad press they have been receiving as of late.
I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with RACEL who said she was putting through a credit for $70.11 for a delivery which was never delivered. The driver returned two hours later with the flowers claiming he could not find the address. I opened a new ticket and the woman who came for the same Delivery had NO PROBLEMS DELIVERING WHATSOEVER. To make matters worse, the first driver also charged femme for the return trip to my shop to bring back the flowers. I then received two emails saying I WAS NOT receiving a refund. This is crazy and a huge waste of my time. I am throwing up my hands in complete and utter frustration with this company. I wonder if the news stations would be interested in their practices.

On Friday, February 23rd I requested a pick up from a doctor's office back to the office for a conference call. The Uber driver arrived (based on my phone tracking display) then canceled my ride (not sure why -- but can speculate that he saw my race and didn't want me in his vehicle. It took 10 minutes to get another Uber driver and I was late for my call.
On Monday, February 26th, I called for Uber at 12:25 to get to a 12:30 appointment (I was willing to be 5 minutes late). I immediately got a response and tracking indicated that my ride was 10 minutes away. Five minutes later tracking indicated my ride was 8 minutes away, five minutes after that tracking indicated my ride was 10 minutes away so I called the driver. He stated he was only 5 minutes away but tracking indicated he was 10 minutes away.
I explained that I had an appointment that I was going to have to cancel if he wasn't there soon. He told me that he was sorry and that he thought someone else had picked up my request. I had to cancel my appointment. I received an email this morning that I was being charged almost $6.00 for another driver who came to pick me up. I had no knowledge that anyone else was on the way. Initially my experience with Uber was pleasant, timely and always cordial. The last two experiences are too much for me and I find that they are now unreliable. Goodbye Uber.

The company is worst in consumer affairs as it does not have a proper means of communication in case of any dispute/issue. The only option is to write your query in the help section of the app, but that also does not get solved. In my case, recently I was trying to book the ride but due to less balance in my payment, I was not been allowed to book it so I changed the payment method to Cash and booked the ride and paid the cash to the driver at the end of the trip. However, while trying to book subsequent ride, I noticed that the payment for earlier ride was o/s, for which I tried to find the Uber's Customer Care no. which I could not found anywhere so was forced to taken other modes for travelling for the subsequent rides and I put up my query in the Help Section.
But later I was replied that the ride was a non-cash ride, so they can not reverse the transaction. The customer care did not even bothered to contact me for understanding the problem or to the driver to find out whether the payment was done in cash or not. Though the amount involved is very small (Rs.42 only) and where I am a very regular customer who have taken far bigger trips in Uber, if they can not resolve the issue, I consider it as a very rude behavior on part of the company. And I lost my faith in the company and even if I pay that amount, I am not sure there will be no such problems in future which might involve bigger amount. Thus I have decided to discontinue using their services without even payment of that disputed amount (as it is I have already paid it in cash).

Lately I must question Uber's employment screening practices. For instance last Sunday on February 18th I used Uber to commute to work. I came downstairs 30 minutes early for a seven minute commute. I connected with first drive and that appeared to be 8 minutes out. When my Uber approached the 1 minute out mark the driver canceled with no notice. I was picked up again and I immediately call the Uber driver and was sent to voicemail 3 separate times. When my cell displayed 'arriving' the driver called and stated he was at the back gate. I explained to driver that I was at the front gate and I did not know the location of back gate. I also stated I attempted to call 3 times to inform him ("Chico") that I was at front gate. His exact words were, "Bye Girl" and he immediately disconnected and canceled trip. Another driver picked me up and I arrived at work at exactly 11 pm. I got to work and immediately put in a complaint and nothing was done.
Fast forward to Sunday, February 25th... Again I am downstairs at 10:30 p.m. waiting for Uber driver. I call Rosoid who is driving a Kia Forte and attempt to direct him to my location because he states GPS is off. Rosoid reaches gate and I gave him gate code but he was unable to gain access due to incorrectly inputting code. Rosoid became frustrated and stated "I cannot get in lady... have a nice night... I am leaving." Fortunately I had walked out of side gate and was able to catch him before he left.
During the trip he constantly complained and stated I should look at things from the driver's point of view and I should not be frustrated. When I arrived at destination he stated have a good night and I stated the trip did not contribute to me having a good night. I exited vehicle and Rosoid instantly called me a **. I stated, "Did you call me a **?" and he said he was reciting music on radio (of he wasn't) and before he drove off he screamed out his window "** get a ** car". In short the days of nice Uber drivers has run its course. Bye Uber.

I was attempting to walk from my house to an Uber car that was waiting for me on December 27, 2017. I slipped on the ice (broke my hip) and couldn't get up. When the Uber driver unsuccessfully attempted to load me into the car, and determined I couldn't board, he tossed a water bottle to me (which I couldn't retrieve as I was completely immobilized), left me in the middle of the street, and drove off. Luckily a neighbor came momentarily and called 911, or I might have died of shock and exposure.
My son (whose Uber account we used for this ride) contacted them, and after Uber's investigation, we didn't even receive an apology from Uber or the driver. I believe that drivers are not held accountable for poor practices such as leaving an injured passenger, as long as the company is not legally responsible for the accident. Though our lawyer has informed us that there is no legal recourse, I wish Uber riders to know that you can't count on being treated with the most basic human decency, which would include calling 911 and staying on the scene until help arrived.

I really don't want to use Uber again and I want my money back because that's my money and Uber has no right to decide it for me to how to use my money (as they have decided for me that I need to use that money for my next rides).
I request you all not to use Uber as they don't care about the customers. They steal your money and blame GPS. I am not the only one who was overcharged and treated like this.

Uber has very bad customer support. If their driver charge more they didn't refund any amount to customer and he has to pay more than double some time because of Uber bad system response or driver ask to pay more amount.

Thank you (customer service rep). Yesterday Feb 14, 2018 I picked up three pool riders at the airport going to Seattle. I estimated in my head roughly $20 each, or a $60 payout to me. When the earnings finally loaded, I was given $35. I assumed it was for the longest of the three riders. No! It was the total I was being paid for all three riders!!! I checked what Uber collected and was equally shocked to find out you charged the riders, including discounts, a total of $96!!! You used my car to load up three different fares from the airport to Seattle. You charged the riders, and were paid $96 for my time and effort driving them. The only problem is, you only deemed it necessary to pay me one dollar for every three you collected from them. It IS highway robbery. You are robbing me (on the Highway) of my just portion of the fares you collect from the public for my time, effort and risk.
I have no issue with you taking 25% of the fares. That is what you need to run your business. I DO have an issue with you taking 65% of the fares that I earned for you, and giving me only 35%. I see there is clearly no remedy from your so called help department. I have sent in 5 requests and get the same tired pat answers every time. I think the next step for me has to be the news and publicity of your rampant disregard for the drivers who spend their time and risk their vehicles every day for you. When you feel it is OK to take 65% of our fares for yourself, something needs to change. I will wait for one last response from you. Hopefully not a trite repetition of the last 5 answers. Indignant in Seattle.

I have been an UBER rider for more than a year. Here in Richmond VA, United States. Never pay attention on charges of UBER 'cause I trusted the company and my account was healthy, good balance most of the time. I used UBER twice a day going to work. I got no car, sometimes exceptionally more than two times, but my usual is two. I start noticing that on my pending transaction of the bank I have instead of 2 charges, 4 charges... up to 6 charges on one day. So I decided NOT TO TRUST and check all my transactions and validated them with the receipts they send to the email when I then close the trip. I found more than 5 overcharges.
When after so many struggles to get to them for HELP ('cause is the worst customer service access in the world) finally they told me about the ON HOLD issue with this exactly words: "Authorization holds are not actual charges, it is just a "hold" that is placed on your account that you will see as "pending" or "processing" because it is not an actual charge to your account. Authorization holds are in place to secure payments when a ride is requested. It is placed on your account to ensure you have sufficient funds to cover your trip fare. I can also confirm that it will drop off or disappear from your bank statement after a few business days."
The bank withdraw the charge from my account as UBER charge me, then I found in two days trip, 4 charges or more. Absurd!!! UBER is not a HOTEL, you place a RIDE and you pay for it with your selected payment method that they should verify is valid since the moment you attached to your account. NOT on every trip. If you don't have balance you don't ride. That is it. DON'T OVERCHARGE ME. I don't want charges ON HOLD, less when I am a customer on daily basis for more than a year. You verify everything about me when I signed on. What in the world!!! This is so frustrating. The only this that is demonstrated in my case, is that I am a number in UBER, a number on 40 millions riders. But can you imagine how much money is ON HOLD CHARGES for 40 millions users for 24 hrs... is financially attractive numbers. Think about it. Very concern. Hope somebody track this on hold abuse.
Improvements for UBER: well, 1) the app MUST be more transparent in the transactions and charges to the riders. 2) Definitively any ON HOLD charges, the UBER driver is validated on sign on and only review it if it change the payment method 3) charges for cancellations must be review too, most drivers are so irresponsible and never show up 4) UBER technology is not for everyone, old people have problems to be drivers 5) Please customer service is awful, create a chat or phone number, a case number.
