I have used Uber all over the world and it has always been prompt and convenient, as well as cheaper than a standard taxi. The drivers have always been polite and some have also been more friendly. I do have reservations about many aspects of the so-called gig economy and feel a little guilty when I use services such as Uber, but I cannot fault the service I have received as a customer.

At first there was an issue with my charges... I was in the wrong and very nasty with Uber’s cust service. Because I felt I was being ripped off. I said I will sleep on it and voila... first thing in the morning not only was the correct amount adjusted to my bank but it was less than what I thought. Way to go Uber. I stand corrected and I will not only recommend your service to my friends and colleagues but I will use your services AGAIN when I need a ride… Plus you taught patience to an old pushy dog. Lol great job and will be contacting you guys soon!!! Thank you.

I have used Uber as a passenger and I am a part-time driver with them. I get outstanding rating and comments from my passengers. I would like to see more of the drivers I get also really care about the passenger they are transporting (me).

I've taken Uber only half a dozen times, and all but one were pleasant experiences. The unpleasant experience went beyond the pale however. I probably could have contacted Uber during the ride and I'm sure arrangements would have been made to care for the problem, as their customer service has always been stellar. All told, Uber has been a lifesaver on those occasions I didn't want to drive.

For the most part, Uber is convenient and fast. Need a way to tip. 1 driver with road rage, but very much the exception. Still way better vetting than taxis.

It was my first time using the service and I found it to be quite convenient. The app was easy to use. I was able to download it and then order the car quickly. The car arrived when they said it would and being able to track the location of the car before it arrived was cool. Paying in advance was also convenient since it meant you knew the cost of the ride beforehand and the price didn't change for slow traffic or anything else.

Great for the rider, they get quick service. Poor pay for the drivers due to a flooded market. No concern given to the fact that if you hire too many drivers there will not be enough riders to make the trips worth your time and fuel.

The experience with Uber is entirely dependent on the driver. One driver took excellent care of me while another driver almost left me off miles from my destination in an industrial park, not a hotel. I threatened to call the police.

Please, please use Lyft or a cab service. Uber is just awful. I had a driver verbally abuse me this morning, so I asked Uber for a full refund. They gave me a $5 credit, and basically said they don't think my situation warrants a full refund. Clearly this company supports abusive drivers over their customers. I will NEVER be using their services again.

I needed Uber when moving to Mexico City for work. I created an account and put in debit card, credit card, and PayPal accounts. Uber said the cards were invalid and that they could not connect to Paypal. I checked with my banks to make sure they had accepted the validation amounts sent by Uber. Uber NEVER contacted either bank to verify my cards. When speaking to Uber, they refused to address this issue. They merely told me how to add a payment method. As far as the PayPal problems, they just ignored that.
While this was going on, I really needed to use Uber to get to and from work, so I bought a gift card thinking that would definitely be accepted. No, it was not either. They also don't take cash. I deleted my account and I expect the $25 to be returned to me. So far, the response is I will get a pin to redeem it. Not sure what that means, as they refuse to return cash to me. I will never use Uber again. I can see why they have a lousy reputation. The arrogance of their previous CEO infects the entire company. Hopefully the new CEO may change that, although I don't have a lot of hope.

Hi. For 4 days - we have been trying to change a phone number on an existing UBER account, to no avail (also lost 4 days of discount from a coupon that we had for that account). No access to a LIVE person - all done with automated responses that did not address our inquiries. Shame - they started off so well, and then - unjustified cancellation fees, technological issues, lack of customer support and so much more.

I left my phone in the Uber. I could not log in to my account because Uber needs multi factor authentication, meaning they were sending codes to the lost phone. *facepalm*. Because why else would I need to log into my Uber account from another device... So I tracked my phone to its location. Politely asked for my phone back and was refused. Though it was not the driver that picked me, he also "just happened" to be another Uber driver.
So I have no way of contacting Uber without getting into my Uber account, and no way of getting into my Uber account without my phone. I guess I will have to wait until my new phone comes. I mean common decency for a serviced based product is not unheard of Uber... I mean I'm not going to wipe the device so it's useless to them. It's now just a locked paper weight.

I had purchased a $50 Uber gift card thru the phone app and used my debit card. There was a problem with email addresses and changed phone numbers so that my son did not get the monies I paid for. I had to wait for the funds to reappear as Uber had to merge email accounts. 3 weeks and still nothing. There is NO LIVE SUPPORT. LINKS IN EMAILS ARE DEAD ENDS. The phone # 855.741.1209 is a third party and cannot verify app ecard purchases. I have left many messages for a call back... nothing.

I had to request a pickup several times since the drivers were waiting for it to be midnight for the price surge. They were cancelling my pickup and I was getting charged for the cancellation. The next day the driver said she couldn't find me although the next driver had no issues. I was again charged a cancellation fee. The unprofessional driver hung up on me when I was giving specific directions trying to make it easier to find me. I was visiting LA and staying in Santa Monica. These experiences somewhat soured my trip.

I've spent a total of 3 hours over 8 days trying to install UBER on my phone. I type in my phone number and it asks me for my password. Seems pretty simple. I type in my password and I'm told it's the incorrect password. I know this to not be true, so I try again, more carefully and still get the incorrect password message. I type in the email address associated with my password and am told it's not the correct email address. I try and reset my password and fall into an infinite loop that doesn't give me a response.
I've tried calling for assistance, but good luck with that. Their numbers aren't posted and when I finally thought I got through, the young lady hung up on me. I've noticed a large number of complaints and all of a sudden, they are gone. I believe UBER refreshed their site to eliminate the bad publicity. So they've lost me as a customer. I signed on to LYFT and it took all of 3 minutes. Do you need a LYFT?

I prepaid $100 on the Uber app to ensure that I had no problems while traveling. On 7/30/17 I attempted to prearrange a pickup for the following day at 0700 for a 0900 class that was essential to upgrade my professional license. I was unable to schedule a pick up and received the message "request failed, please enter new payment method." I contacted UBER help who assured me that they were having trouble with prearranged services and should have no problem the following morning.
The following morning I received the same error messages (it was also linked to my credit card and PayPal.) Despite being told over and over again that they had fixed the problem, to this day it hasn't been rectified. I ended up missing day 1 of my class and it cost me an additional $200 dollars. I have been attempting to obtain a refund and UBER has continuously failed to refund my account despite almost daily communication via email and the help application. This company is absolutely horrible and their customer service is non-existent. Lyft is a much better and reliable service.

I recently took an Uber and was checking my trips the next day and see that I was being charged a cleaning fee of $150. My driver's name was Michael and picked me up in Delray Beach Florida and dropped me off in Boca Raton Florida. The ride cost $18.42. When I asked Uber through the Uber help I was advised I was being charged a cleaning fee. I then received pictures of vomit that was on the seat and the floor. This was something that I absolutely did not do. I have asked that the community manager in my area call me and I have not received any response. These pictures that were submitted were not from me. I feel violated and feel nothing I can do but dispute these charges with my bank.
This now becomes a he said she said type of thing. The attorney general needs to be advised of what is going on with this and that some Uber drivers are extorting money fraudulently from riders. I have been an loyal Uber rider for 2 years and have not had an issue until now. I have attempted to resolve this issue with Uber and feel I was erroneously charged this cleaning fee for something I did not do. I hope that this driver gets investigated and terminated so he does not do this to any more people.

I'm a driver. I drove several times this past weekend 8/10-8/13. I had several rides that were surges. Customers even told me their ride was a surge. Now after all is said and done, Uber doesn't want to pay me my correct pay. This is not the first time this has happened to me.

They will short you your pays and you will continue to get scripted replies from someone in another country.

I never knew there is going to be such difficult task to contact Uber's customer service about an issue me and my husband had. In fact there is no customer service per se but a critical safety response line which wasn't much of the help in our problem. What happened is that my husband left in Uber his wallet with all his documents, id cards, credit cards, pictures etc. He really got stressed out about it a lot, we contacted Uber through an app right away as we were not able to reach the driver. You must know that you really can't reach the driver even though the Uber app would transfer your call to him. The driver never picked up his phone nor there was a voicemail set up so we could leave a message. From Saturday night until Monday night we didn't know anything about the lost wallet. At least he could call back or e-mail us that he found or didn't find it.
If you ever read this driver Syed it's not about that we "lost hat" or not even about few dollars that were in that wallet, it's about all the stress my husband had to go through as he lost all his documents. One of them foreign driving license which is not easy to replace. Even that we know you may not find it first, at least simple message that you didn't, would be nice of you as you represent such a large and developing company.

I finally caved and opened an account with UBER in order to take a ride from Hallandale to the Fort Lauderdale Airport to fly home. I was under the impression that the first ride was free, but I could not find the place to enter the code. Nevertheless, I was picked up and dropped off for a charge of $17.94. Once at the gate, I thought I would go back into the app and learn about it, and perhaps discover where to enter promo codes. That's when I saw that a second charge of $97.94 had been applied. To make a long story short, and after a number of back and forth emails with UBER, it seems that my driver Yuniel, who could not speak a word of English, claimed that my dog (which I do not have) had urinated all over his seats. The UBER reply after the fourth email included photos.
What I find absolutely astounding is that it would require multiple back and forth emails and much stressing for the following reasons: I was flying out of Florida and was not in the car with a dog. Had the seat been like that from a previous passenger, I would not have entered the car. I tried to save the picture to try to capture a time stamp, but their "proof" cannot be saved. UBER should know that I can have the charge reversed from my VISA, but that won't satisfy me, because that means the driver will still get his $97.94 for a fake cleaning charge. The driver should have known that if he were to make up such a ridiculous story, that he should have perhaps claimed that the passenger was ill (not that I want to give him ideas) or something more believable.
OK - so the driver Yuniel is a thief. But for a company who has a reputation to maintain to go to this length to support a scam is disheartening. I am a 67 year old clean cut person who traveled without a pet of any kind, and I have been taken for a ride (no pun intended), and the company behind the driver so far has done nothing to resolve this except continue to send me emails with the driver's ridiculous claim. Through the magic of a snipping tool I present the photo the driver submitted. Would you have sat there? Not I. I will continue to write UBER until this is resolved. Unfortunately for the company, a single driver has eliminated all my future business with UBER.

I live in San Francisco (city) and have been using Uber for about two years. About six months ago I had the first issue with two drivers that I had to report for violations. My score has always been 5 stars until then, but Uber is allowing drivers to leave a negative rating for riders that have reported them or left a negative feedback due to unprofessional, rude, dangerous behavior. My score dropped to 4.85 because of that. Yesterday afternoon I correctly and honestly paid for two seats (me and my spouse), and when the driver arrived the car only had one seat available. When we asked him to cancel the ride, he denied our request multiple times and stared at us in a creepy way. When he heard we were going to contact Uber immediately, he left us on the sidewalk with bags and kept on making us pay for a ride we weren't benefitting of.
The two passengers in the back seats that were occupying my wife's seat didn't bother to move enough to allow her to sit, and from their unpleasant behavior we understood they were at fault as much as the driver, since they must have paid for one seat only (causing the main problem). The driver, in retaliation, damaged my profile score and now I have 4.82 stars. I have been working hard to restore my score after those bad drivers damaged it months ago, but it seems like riders have no way to protect themselves from similar behaviors. We are constantly at risk of finding unpleasant, arrogant, lazy and even dangerous drivers, and Uber Customer Care doesn't care: all I was able to obtain was a refund, but when I asked them to restore my score I ended up in an infinite loop of excuses and explanations about how their policy prevents them to modify riders and drivers' score.
There is no way bad drivers can be allowed to damage the reputation of good customers when the same customers are reporting an issue with them. I have informed Uber that I have all the rights to move legally, despite what they claim in their fake policy. In particular, don't let Uber's "arbitration clauses" which prohibits customers from suing the company scare or stop you from fighting for your rights: in April, a California court ruled that the obscured its terms of service and privacy policy on its sign-up screen, meaning the rider suing the company was not reasonably notified that he was giving up his right to a class-action lawsuit.
Finally, talking about privacy and defamations, if you have been involved in a similar situation be aware that, despite what Uber claims, your rider's profile is NOT private: it only requires one person to see it (the driver) for it to be "public". And many are the drivers that takes advantage of a low score to avoid picking you up and behaving badly in any other way. If a driver damage your score as a retaliation for having been reported and given 1 star, then both Uber and that driver can face a lawsuit.

Uber charged my card for a ride that did not take place. I was notified by my bank of an Uber charge on a weekend during which I never left home. Attempting to contact Uber by phone, or submit a fraudulent statement via their website both proved impossible. The last Uber contact number would not recognize my phone number. Their website would not permit the required screen shot of the fraudulent bank transaction. Ultimately, I resorted to closing the card, reasoning if it happened once, it will certainly happen again.

Attempting to schedule a ride with Uber using their app failed 6, 8 or more times because the app could not verify the card security code on the back of the three credit cards I had entered into the app. I was returning home from shopping with frozen goods and was relying on Uber to get home. After several failed attempts, I noticed that Uber had shifted into surge pricing and then into a still higher surge pricing. I finally was able to schedule a ride. However I believe I drove up my own rate because I had requested so many rides until the app took hold. I have asked Uber to investigate my concern and have not heard back from them, and my original message has been deleted.

I'm a Uber driver and I took a couple of riders happens to be a husband and wife. When I picked up the riders, the women (wife) was badly intoxicated and sitting on a sidewalk. It was my first time so I didn't know what will happen next. I picked them up from LA and we're headed to Torrance at 1 am. By the time I nearly got to their destination, the wife threw up in my car. The husband helped catch the puke onto his shirt but since it's liquid, most of the throw up soaked into my back leather seat and couldn't do anything about it. I did completed the trip to their home and they got out of the car.
Since it was my first experience with a rider throwing up in the back seat, I didn't know what to do or how to claim for clean up fee. I used my wet towels to clean up the threw up and was able to wipe out the pukes on the back seat. The alcoholic smell wasn't gone and left my car with horrible puke and alcoholic stinks. I spend nearly more than 10 minutes cleaning and had to open the whole car windows because the smell was bad. My car was just fresh brand new less than an year old Lexus IS. I found in the app that I can request a cleanup fee via Uber. So, I took the pictures and sent the pictures with explanations of the situation of what happened to me because of a rider. I couldn't drive due to alcoholic smell so I had to return home.
The next day, Uber customer service contacted me via email. Here's what they said: "If you submit photos of the damage that clearly show a mess, including a wet seat etc., with an explanation of what happened, within 48 hours, we would be happy to look into a cleaning fee for you. The photo you submitted did not show any mess, and we cannot charge the rider if there is no evidence of a mess. I apologize for any inconvenience here. Thanks so much and Uber on!" After exchanging over 20 emails over 3 days, the Uber didn't pay a penny nor tried to help me on cleanup fee on my car. I was really disgusted and tired of Uber customer's attitude towards the drivers. I heard that Lyft pays $250 straight up detail fee if a rider throws up in the car. As you all probably have dealt with and have experienced with Uber and their drivers, they all say Lyft is much much better for drivers and riders both when it comes to satisfaction.

UBER does not care about drivers and their vehicles!!! For most issues, they have people responding in the Philippines (initially they say "We are offshore"), who are trained to use initially prepared ready texts. Those guys do not disclose any unique info like employee ID, ext., initials etc., imitate work on the issue, imitate care, imitate responsibility. Every time a different person responds under the veil of anonymity. You can't talk to a manager. Their system is designed to discourage drivers to resolve their issues, to confuse them and distance them. On top of all, UBER doesn't want to be sued. They want arbitration! UBER also doesn't like class action measures! How is this possible that in the USA the government allows an american corporation to play games with people and avoid responsibility?

ON 7/30/17 I was in Oregon alone on a trip at the University needing a ride to PDX to get home to CA. I chose Uber over Lyft because they had a driver available and the time of arrival worked for me, I was to arrive at 5:11 to the airport PDX which would have been plenty of time. But with him getting lost to me looking for gas. And me having to use the app to guide him to my pick up locations I ended up being 45minutes late which therefore made me miss my plane. I'm sorry. This is unacceptable from Uber, feeling helpless at the time and that was not what I was quoted. My time that you gave me was to ARRIVE at 5:11 to PDX that gave me 1:35 min to catch my flight I WAS 45 minutes late!
I MISSED MY FLIGHT BECAUSE HE STOPPED FOR GAS AND COFFEE. That is unacceptable. I don't know what was going on with my driver but he was definitely not thinking to make pit stops and to take the streets to the airport >50 miles away. He refused to take the freeway the first time I asked then after he finished his coffee he said ok but by that time things didn't look too good. Thank you.

I feel compelled to let people know they are not the only one seeing hidden charges show up after a ride. I recently was in Boston and actually ran down the street to get in the car early so the driver did not have to stop up further in heavier traffic and was charged a wait time charge? How the heck does that work? No response from Uber yet as just wrote to them. The driver was very nice and a good ride to my destination but that fee is so pumped up just to make more money and I was right at the door of the address I put in that Uber agreed to pick me up at for $14 ride.
So over $15 now as the "wait charge" that there was no wait for was put on there. Also, a couple of weeks ago, here in Albany, NY, a $15 charge was what was quoted, but after getting the receipt the breakdown showed a toll and an Uber worker's comp charge. Hmmm, no toll road was taken so what the heck happened there? So I'm starting to think this is not a coincidence, however will print out my itemized receipts with route taken and hold until I decide if I am going to report this and to whom.
Uber was sooo great when started out. Honest, nice cars, great drivers, and you were billed one fee and knew what it was going to include up front. Again, neither of my situations happened that they billed me for and when you respond to them with the issue, they tell you that is the charge and it is what it is. Signing up for Lyft today. Hearing great things about them and perhaps they want my business more. I think Uber may have issues people. Watch your receipt breakdowns.

A ride with exact same origination and destination with the similar traffic condition and driver availability situation usually taking around $38 now is being charged around $62, and the driver does not get any of the extra charged amount.

I have honestly lost track of the number of times I have had a frustrating experience with this company. It's got to be at least 10 at this point, within the past year. Each time I attempt to resolve the problem by contacting them through their website, as there is no option to speak with a human being. The process of attempting to communicate with them is, every single time, another giant frustration. I had decided to just stop using their services, as there are many better choices out there (thank you Lyft), but was recently enticed by an email I got offering unlimited $5 rides for a month. I decided to buy the "pass" for $5, which would then "unlock" the $5 rides. I just arrived home to see that I have been charged $17 for a ride which showed up in the app as being $5. And so I found myself, yet again, writing another disgruntled email, to try to remedy the situation. Please save yourself the trouble and use a different taxi service.

I have only been able to successfully use the app once. Whenever I have tried to get a ride it says "check your connection". It never seems to have a problem with my connection when it comes to excessively texting me messages, urging me to become a driver or remembering my credit card information. I never requested info to become a driver, only a rider. When I went online to contact "customer service", my only option was to fill in a generic field box.
The customer service number is hands down, the flimsiest excuse for a lack of phone support I have ever heard. It is only a message that tells you to e-mail them and they will get back to you in 24 hours. When I need a ride now, an e-mail is not going to solve my problem. I have tried 3 e-mails in 72 hours and I have yet to receive a reply. Direct quote, "More often than not, phone messages are incoherent and can slow down our ability to provide customer support". How about actually answering the phone or use an automated call back service? Or have chat support on your website? Calling a cab may be pricier, but much less aggravating. It's only 2 o'clock and I already feel as though I need a stiff drink.

I close my umbrella and I was trying to balance myself and get myself into his vehicle and he got mad because my umbrella was wet and got water on his vinyl seats and while he was busy throwing a fit he I was standing outside of the car but not allowed to get in until I can move on umbrella and he can dry off the seat. Show being very off put and he was very rude to talk. I told him I would get another driver. Uber did nothing about the matter and they charge me for the cancellation knowing that I'm on a fixed budget and needed that Rideshare money to go towards another driver that I would have to hire from Uber.
Two weeks before that I had another driver who refused to stop at 5 in the morning to take me to an appointment because she did not like our neighborhood. She was from a nicer neighborhood and she said she didn't feel safe picking anyone up in our neighborhood so I asked her why she bothered to take the trip in the first place and then again I paid for a cancellation.

I am an active user of Uber and so, when I saw the service was available in France during my recent vacation, I used Uber rather than a taxi. I left my iPhone in an Uber last Thursday in Bordeaux. I immediately tried to log in to my account and contact the driver but apparently, because I was in another country, they required I provide a verification code - which was sent to my phone, which was in the Uber driver's car. My friend, who is also an Uber user, contacted Uber through her app to file an inquiry on my behalf. We have no less than 10 emails from Uber customer service, a different person each time, asking me/her to file an inquiry online - which would always lead to the service sending a verification code to the phone.
I finally got France Uber to contact the driver on Saturday, two days after the phone was left in the car, and return the phone. The driver, who met me at the hotel, told me that he had contacted Uber about the fact he had my phone 5 minutes after I had left his car on Thursday. Because of their "privacy" policy, I could not contact him and he could not contact me. We had to coordinate it all through Uber and their Customer Service and whatever CRM system they are using to track passenger inquiries sucks. Unbelievable for a company of their size.

In Kadubeesanahalli at 11.00 AM on 31/07/2017, in front of 'Prestige Tech Park' the Uber driver hit my vehicle from right side. I stepped down to find out why he did that. I asked him "when there is lot of space why you hit my car?" He replied saying, "I want to go to the left edge of the road immediately so I hit your vehicle. If I hit your vehicle you will stop so I can go the left edge of the road to drop my passengers." This is how the Uber drivers are. Uber is encouraging and teaching their drivers to hit and kill people in order to drop their passengers on time. We are on one way road. He at least does not know that it is one way. He says "this is two way so I can go to any direction that I want." Very strange people on earth. This is how the social responsibility of the Uber is. Great organization.

I'm driving for uber, of course as idea uber is a very unique company but bottom line it is taxi company. Only in taxi companies drivers may be non professionals but in uber company I can't see anything that american. Number one being unique company it's not enough to be the great company, and bet is very dirty cheating company, and they cheat not only customers, they cheat drivers, and that automatically mean they cheat government. I warn every customer, driver check your trips mileage and time and compare with charges and you will be surprised that is not matching reality, some small some big but it will be different. Even small different is cheating and if you may multiply that cheating to quantity of trips daily it will be millions, monthly will be billions. Is this is American way? I don't think so.
When driving over 30 miles, but they paying you for 12 and trying to prove that on their gps is that much, when they charges customer but do not paying you, when customer give you tip but it is not reaching your account, when they charge customer and paying you less than 50 percent when it's must be 75, when for 3 month can't fix problems with app in area, I can continue this line list, just check every trip and let's not allow cheating even for penny I think that is real American way.

I have had several issues with Uber especially their navigation when a 10 minute ride with any other service takes 25 minutes to an hour because of their application. I had my last straw yesterday as I requested an Uber that was three minutes away only to stand and wait for 25 minutes. Of course Uber only gives you two minutes to cancel so almost every time this is the case, the extra charge of almost a dollar is certainly a scam as they probably are adding this to many unknowing customers and making a lot of money on this. I don't always pay attention to the email receipts that come in.
They even indicated that there is a hold put on my account for the lower amount and then turn out charging me more. That prompted me to look on your side and I was shocked to see the lack of customer service. On another note it is almost impossible to have a conversation about a customer experience with Uber. I have tried several times in the past. They are not interested in knowing what the customers think. They also force you to rate their drivers poorly when it is their fault often times because their application and send them to the wrong location. I am done with Uber!

I purchased an Uber gift card in the amount of $25.00 for my son to use. He tried to redeem it, however Uber asked him for a credit card which he does not have... Hence, me buying the Uber gift card for him. In an attempt to satisfy Uber's request, I purchased another gift card for $25.00 thinking this could act as the secondary. Instead the Uber app requested my son provide credit card info again. So, I finally caved and provided a credit card to my son as a back-up payment to satisfy Uber's request. They made such a mess in my account that the bank automatically shut my card down.
First, Uber charges your account, then they reverse the charge, but this is done over 12 consecutive times causing alerts to my bank. Without knowing, my son at the time purchased another gift card while I had purchased the 2nd gift card listed above in the amount of $25.00 and of course, he cannot use that one either unless credit card information is inputted into the Uber app. This is dishonest business. How can this business sell gift cards if they are NOT going to properly redeem them?
There are lots of consumers that do not have credit card, so the gift card is a good alternative. However, this is much more trouble than it is worth. Uber should NOT be allowed to sell gift cards. Can you imagine buying a gift card to the movies or a retail outlet and then being told they need your credit card information in order to redeem them? How does Uber get away with this business practice? This really causes undue stress to people such as myself who find themselves in this situation, as well as can place people into unwanted situation of proving credit card information.

I have had several recent issues with Uber. I requested an Uber in New Orleans and the driver never showed up. I followed the route and according to the driver they picked my husband and I up and dropped us off at our destination. This did NOT happen. We never received our ride but were charged for the ride nonetheless. When I contacted Uber about being charged but not receiving the ride they stated that the driver checked in and said the ride was given. We were left stranded and never received the ride.
I tried to be forgiving and decided to try Uber again in Orlando. My family requested an Uber xl, which claims to seat up to 6 people. We had 5 people in our party, 3 of them were children under the age of 10. Our Uber driver showed up in a compact SUV with no 3rd row seat. He claimed they could "squish" in the back. I was so angry because I was charged for an Uber xl but received a 4 seater car. We had a specific timed reservation that we could not miss. So I took the trip against better judgement and paid an Uber xl fare when it was clearly not an Uber xl.
While in the car I had to ask the driver to please change the radio due to language. He was listening to hardcore rap music with extremely vulgar content with children in the car. It was totally offensive and inappropriate to me at 59 years old, but to have my grandchildren have to be subjected to it was incredibly offensive and impolite. I sent Uber a complaint on their app but was met with rudeness and incompetence. They stated that the car was an Uber xl according to their policy. I sent pictures of their policy along with a description of the car that picked us up, which clearly states that it is a 5 seat compact SUV (that includes the driver) and Uber still responded in a negative manner. I am so incredibly upset and annoyed. I will NEVER use Uber again and will post as many negative feedback responses on whatever I can. This is unacceptable customer service. A very unhappy OLD customer. They no longer will have me or my family as a customer!!!

After a night out one weekend, a friend called an Uber for me (because I was pretty drunk, and they wanted to make sure that I got home okay). While in the car, I felt like I needed to puke, so I opened the door and did so outside. NOTHING went inside the car, aside from a few small splashes on the plastic of the door. I offered to go buy a water bottle and rinse that off, the driver said that was fine, and while I waited in line at the store, he took off. Left a drunk 20-something girl on the street, not ensuring her safe arrival home. Both myself and my friend who split the fare with me were charged a small fee - UNTIL our visa statements came where we saw a $75 cleaning fee EACH on top of the ride charge. I spoke to many friends and acquaintances, some of whom actually told me that they puked inside an Uber, and were charged $50.
I tried to get in touch with Uber. Mind you they have no 800#. Opened a ticket in order to get in touch with them, they reply back saying they have policies and put "resolved" immediately, which prevents you from being able to write back again. I opened several tickets, in regards to the same issue. Wanting answers, why my friend and I were each charged so much when the vomit wasn't even inside the car. They were extremely unprofessional, even after I asked them to stop closing the ticket they kept doing the exact same thing. They sent me pictures with the first ticket zoomed into the vomit OUTSIDE, the pictures expire fairly quickly and because I could no longer view them, I asked to have them resent, they just ignored my request.
I explained that, aside from this incident nothing like this had happened to me before, I have a 5* rating on the app. That I understood having to pay a fee, but that this was extreme and kindly asked them to reverse at least my friend’s charge, who was not even in the car at the time, but they're unprofessional, give you short answers and close the tickets each time. Definitely wouldn't recommend this service, they have access to your credit card information and will use it however they see fit. Obviously don't have proper guidelines when my friend who puked inside the car was charged 3x less than I who puked outside. There's no way to remove your credit card information from the app, unless you are to put a new one - I would never give them my information again. For a company that fought so hard to come into this city, they show that they don't care about customers at all. Completely unwilling to work with you and meet you half way.

I have been driving for Uber for almost 4 months and never had any issues till recently.

That wasn't a problem because I needed the money. I started the trip, drove to the destination and completed the trip with 5 stars. Right after completing the rating the app logs me off, suggesting that I get back to my home location for me to be able to go back online. The app froze and there was nothing else I could do in it. The red message suggesting that I go back to my home location was the only thing I could read.
When I got back home (Iowa/Cedar Rapids) I turn the online button on, I check the trip history. The trip is nowhere to be found. I wasn't worried very much as I usually get issues like that with the Uber app but after a few minutes the fare end up showing. I kept waiting until I decided to contact them, they sent me an automatic response suggesting that I should be patient and that it should take up to 48 hours for the fare to show in the app. I have waited for more than 48 hours but nothing is being done. I contacted them on numerous occasions but all I get is a loop of same responses. As per now I don't even get any response any more.
It has been a week since that happened and now I have nowhere to address the issue. The trip cost the rider $501 and I used my gas money nearly $110. I contacted the rider because he gave me his personal phone number. He says he has seen his receipt either but his has no problem if the issue get fixed and he get charged for the trip. This experience makes me think twice when I get any trip that would last like an hour and above because it is clear now that if there's anything wrong with the app I will lose but not them. This kind of treatment is beyond inhuman. I can't believe these are the kind of people I am working with. And they also treat issues or report that they get in a partial as long as they don't lose.

I have sent multiple e-mails back and forth to Uber whom they claim after reviewing, they see that the charge did come from my phone device and this does appear to be a valid trip which was charged appropriately for the time and distance traveled, so we will not be able to make any adjustments to the fare.

This is the worst Uber allows their customers to scam the drivers. Drivers will lie and say they weren't picked up and then uber charges back the driver and they have to pay for it. This allows customers to get free rides and this is not fair at all. My advice driver for Lyft, because Uber does not go to bat for their drivers period. I drove a person to a different destination per their request and they contact uber and said "I never showed up." Uber charged me the $20 buck so I lost on the fare and my gas money. This was not right at all.

I was returning from a veterinarian's clinic with a very old dog in the back seat. My return route carried me through a neighborhood in which I had resided for 12 years; and, the maneuver from a side street, across San Pedro Ave., where the incident occurred, had been made by me thousands of times before, without incident.
At approximately 2:15 p.m. I pulled up to the intersection of Thames Dr. and San Pedro Ave., with the intent of crossing San Pedro, and taking an almost immediate left onto Sprucewood Ln. I looked both ways, and observed traffic just beginning to move southward from a traffic light up the hill; and, to the south, traffic proceeding down the hill, heading northward, at a good distance. It was one of those rare moments when the maneuver was easy, as no traffic was within enough distance to cause concern, or require any degree of extra caution. I crossed the 2 south-bound lanes of San Pedro, and turned right into the center turn lane, proceeding about 50' to where I would turn left, and cross the 2 north-bound lanes of San Pedro, onto Sprucewood.
At the exact moment I began to move my steering wheel to turn left on to Sprucewood, I was clipped/struck, with little noticeable impact - mostly noise, by another vehicle, without warning - no horn or screeching tires, on my left side, at the almost direct center of the front wheel flare. The car, a black, 4-door sedan, about the size of a Chevrolet Impala, which it may have been, pulled into the center turn lane a few feet in front of me. I was somewhat stunned with the development, and immediately concerned for the dog, given the heat was about 100 degrees, and which, amongst other issues, suffers from incontinence - although he had just recently relieved himself at the veterinarian's.
As we exited our vehicles, I was further stunned with the damage to my car, whose front end was ripped almost completely off. The other driver and I approached each other, between the vehicles. He was tall, about 6'3-5", weighing about 200-210 lbs, clean-shaven, with reddish blond hair, with no noticeably visible tattoos. He was amiable in demeanor, and immediately asked, "How do you want to handle this"? Being in a shocked state, I said, "I don't know", as I was still trying to get my bearings, and take everything in, and wondering what I would do about the old dog. He responded with, "I'm an Uber driver; and, I have a fare, and need to get going".
There was a person, who appeared to be a female, sitting the rear seat, on the passenger's side. I indicated I had the dog in the car, and needed to get him home. I said, "let's look at your car", while, w/o close inspection, was thinking the damage to mine was mostly cosmetic, which subsequently proved to be erroneous. We proceeded around to the front of his car to observe the right front area, which had only a small dent in the front corner thereof. There was also a roughly 3' white/silver scratch down the center of his car, mainly on the rear door, w/o a noticeable dent. At that point, still in a confused state, I asked, "where did you come from"? He indicated the parking lot on the east side of San Pedro, from which the exit was probably 100-150' above where I had crossed San Pedro and into the center turn lane. He impressed upon me, again, his need to get moving with his fare.
We returned to our position between the cars; and, I asked if he had something to write with. He went back to his car, as I pulled out my insurance card, and a business card with my phone number, which I handed to him while indicating that the email was not @grandecom.net, but rather @Gmail. He took a picture of my insurance card w/his iPhone, and handed it back to me, while placing my card in his shirt pocket. He indicated he would call me later that evening, and immediately took off. Still being somewhat disoriented, I failed to get his license plate number, but have a strong inclination that it started with H, and had a 5 in the last set of numbers. I then called a friend, who came and got the dog, and returned him home, while I tended to get my car towed to a repair center, and reporting to my insurance co. I have had no contact from said individual. A subsequent visit to scene, to take pics, which show no skid marks.
On Friday, June 23rd, I went to Uber's local "Green Center", where I spoke to one Tony **, who indicated that office did not having access to Uber's fare logs, and indicated he would "escalate" the matter to a district/regional mgr. who did. He also indicated he would discuss the matter with in-house management in a meeting to follow soon thereafter. I was thereafter told, by said person, via email, that only insurance companies and the police will be given that information because it would "violate Uber's Service Policy". On Sunday, June 25th, I reported this to the police, who issued an "incident" report, not a "crash" report #, which is what the traffic investigation unit needs, "if I want to file charges". A call to the officer to obtain such number, has not been returned.
My car is a 1999 BMW, 328i, which I bought in Nov. 2016, from a party I have known since the 1980's, who bought the car w/less than 20K miles, and had maintenance records, so I knew what I was getting; and, I've sunk a substantial amount of money restoring it… but, because of its age, it's being totaled by the insurance company; and, I'm looking at a $6,500 hit, at minimum. Moreover, if I elect to take the car and fix it, I can no longer insure it for collision or comprehensive. The insurance company says they have contacted Uber, but it might take 8 weeks to get them to respond, which, as of July 8th, Uber has not done.
In this regard, one would think that Uber would bend over backwards to help identify the driver and his car, not just for my sake; but, for the sake of future passengers. I say this because I'm aware that the Uber app. will show what drivers are in any particular area at any given time; and, that the drivers tend to circulate in a general area. Moreover, one would think that the passenger would have filed a report with Uber, and they would be happy to get involved in resolving this matter, which involved no injuries, and damages of about $4K to repair my vehicle.

While the cab is already under a trip it is being allotted for the next booking as it is en route and about to complete its last trip. But it is not the case always. On 30-apr-17, when a cab was booked from my residence, the allotted one was somewhere at about 5km away and further 5km yet to go to complete the last trip and then to reach me.
Even today 09-jul-17, I just started in a cab (**) from Visakhapatnam railway station towards my residence (about 15km) and the same cab got allotted for somebody booked from Simhachalam. So totally the cab is at more than 20km from the booking spot. Such wrong allotments obviously trouble the customer who may be in urgency. Cancellation is attracting deduction of minimum amount as the driver is not at fault. So he is not ready to cancel. The victim is the customer. Please take corrective measure for this problem.

I was a 4.9 rated driver with over 450 trips. Vehicle depreciation, being contractor, dealing with ungrateful/cheap passengers, and fuel expenses were ok to deal with until Uber spent money and lobbied to have warrant checks and fingerprinting eliminated as employment requirement in Houston. Now the market is flooded with druggies, perverts, and criminals. Uber rather have thousands of sub-par drivers than reward good drivers. This keeps the surge down and in theory more people will use the service if the prices aren't surging.
I had a repeat customer tell me she has had 2 bad experiences with Uber since the regulations were lifted (Uber only spends money on upper management and tech gurus whose sole purpose is to cheat drivers and lie to regulators). Her first negative experience was with a female driver who had her boyfriend in the car with her during the pickup and had just smoked weed because the car reeked of it. Her other experience was coming home from her birthday and a male driver had clutter in the backseat, so she had to sit in the front.
He kept turning on the dome light and making advances through perverted comments about how good her feet, toes, and legs looked. Also, Uber records a driver's every move (they send daily driving reports-braking, acceleration, and speeding). But they don't include these objective/measurable statistics in the driver rating. That is purely subjective and left to the passenger's opinion about the driver. So a drunk cannot like the way you look and give a cowardly 1 star rating because of that. A drunk can type in the wrong pickup address and then give a 1 star, claiming the driver needs to improve pickups. And Uber doesn't reward the drivers who provide excellent service despite the way the system is rigged to USE DRIVERS.

I purchased an Uber gift card to be able to get myself around to some very important places that I need to get to such as the doctor's office and pharmacy. Uber prints its store-bought gift cards on cheap, flimsy, unreliable paper. After purchasing my Uber gift card with 50 dollars cash (because my credit card is unavailable for use at this time) I proceeded to scratch off the covering of the code so I would be able to immediately redeem it, apply it to my account. Only when I did the numbers were unreadable, illegible, and part of the gift card paper had come off. There is no way at all for me to be able to read anything under that, it is beyond disgusting and despicable.
If Uber would print its gift cards on plastic instead of paper the code could and would stay much more intact to be readable upon scratch-off. Yes, this may cost a little more but money is all that matters, right? There is no way to void a gift card once it has been activated, so I am stuck with this useless piece of paper I had just paid 50 dollars for. I panicked and begged for help at the store and there was nothing they could do to help me.
There is no customer service helpline to call for help or anything. All one can do is send messages or emails and wait hoping for a resolution to their problem or issue. I did this many, many times and without any success at all, it has been a horrible experience for me. Each response I receive simply copied and pasted the exact same words on their app and website (which of course I already know). I needed help not insensitive robot replies.
After more than 24 hours of email tag and haggling and no resolution in addition to calling Uber's critical accident, safety report line, here I am filing my complaint. I have been severely sunburned by the extreme summer heat and unable to make it to the clinic, the pharmacy, and a friend's house. Uber has chosen to sacrifice integrity, personable , and any immediate assistance or squalor quality of cheap paper instead of durable plastic in the name of profits and cost-cutting, and it has soured much faith I had in this company. My issue still remains unresolved.
Desired outcome: I want the 50 gift card which I paid for applied to my account, plus an additional 50 extra in rider credits applied to my account for my pain and suffering due to no way provided by this business (Uber) to seem immediate resolution to issues such as this. Of course providing a helpline for customers to call or printing their gift cards on plastic instead of paper will probably never happen. However we all know that it should. I am very angry.

On June 11, 2017, my wife and I attended a Dave Matthews concert in Chicago. Afterward, we were directed by staff security to walk to Michigan Ave. adjacent to the Museum/Aquarium/Planetarium campus to acquire a ride back to our condo as only vehicles leaving the campus would be allowed on the campus roadways. We called for an Uber at 11:06 pm and it was confirmed. We were standing in front of a condo called 1130 - address 1130 S. Michigan Ave. The Uber confirmation indicated our pickup spot would be 1131 S. Michigan Ave. Since there is only a park/greenspace opposite 1130 S. Michigan Ave. we figured the pickup address meant...We had to cross the street! Not an easy thing to do -- Michigan Ave. is 8 lanes wide and BUSY, as you can imagine after a concert with 30,000+ people.
We navigated our way across the street and began to watch my phone as our driver approached for the pickup. When he was a block away - as near as I could tell from the ap - his car disappeared from my ap display and I was notified my ride was cancelled. Great! So, we called for another Uber driver from our new position across the street from the 1130 condo. This time the driver called me to tell me he was parked across the street - WONDERFUL! - in front of 1130 S. Michigan Ave. We had to cross Michigan Ave. again. Back to where we originally started.
That driver was delightful. When I checked my credit card ap to view the evening's charges, there was a $5 fee posted. I contacted Uber via email and was informed it was a cancellation fee! I didn't cancel - Uber DID! They should be paying ME the $5 for the inconvenience. They agreed to credit my Uber account $5, which I really didn't appreciate. I may never use Uber again. They maintained that company policy prohibited them from refunding me the $5. I protested to no avail and was told the case was closed.
In addition to this SNAFU, each ride I summoned from Uber was for a pool driver to help defray the cost of the trip. We made three trip in all using Uber on June 11. We had to pay full fare for each trip. Apparently, there were no other riders in the vicinity that evening? Not likely! There were 6 festivals in town and the concert patrons made the evening a lucrative one for the drivers. There was a swarm of people out and about around Chicago this night. I was told by one of our driver that due to the number of drivers being called the rates were increased from normal.
My fares were doubled or tripled for the short drives I called for - which is why I called for Uber pool drivers. I'm all for making a quick buck, but since there were so many people needing rides, Uber pools should have been available when called for. It was a classic "Bait and Switch" operation, in my opinion. Travel at your own risk, people! There's a reason why Uber is always in the news!

Uber has a program called Ride Pass that they have rolled out to a lot of Philadelphians. In exchange of a $20 fee, the user would receive UberPool rides at a flat fee of $2.99 and UberX rides at a flat rate of $5.99 within a designated area for a total of 28 days. The only stipulation, is that if the full value of the ride exceeds $20, the rider must pay the overage. (i.e. if a pool ride costs $24, the user would be charged $6.99). Easy right?
I live and work within the designated area, so I was elated to have this opportunity. The trouble started this week. On Tuesday, the ride that I requested had an overage. I take Uber into work, and it rarely goes over $20, so I checked another account that does not have the Rider Pass and lo and behold, the full fare price was under $20. I emailed customer service and they refunded me the difference on two separate occasions admitting it was a system error & that it would be fixed. Yesterday, I emailed them and got a sorry-the overage charges are correct. Today, after providing them with proof that the full fare ride was under $20, and they are intentionally inflating the UberPool prices for their Ride Pass customers, they deleted my account.
I have asked them on numerous occasions for a phone number, but their answers are always cut & paste. I don't really know who to go to for this. It is not the money, I mean, it's literally a $20 fee and under $10 in overages. But it's the principle.

I can't believe after all this they still charge me and would not refund. Uber does not care whether you live or die, you have to just pay their fare. They employ people who drives drunk crashing car in the middle of night and if you turned out alive after that they will leave by the side of road and still charge for that ride. And you wait another half hour to get to another Uber with no option and pay another fare hoping to reach alive and out of all this Uber says our partners tend to have high standards.

Uber mentions standard upfront charges for their pool rides but if the person you are pooling with cancels the ride, Uber will introduce dynamic charges and charge that extra amount to you. And i guess they even charge the person who cancels. So in a way Uber is making 2 way money. They charged me 3 times the normal charge for a ride where another pooler cancelled the ride. And now they are fooling me saying that since the distance travelled was more than what was entered originally they are charging me more. But actually distance increased because the driver had to pick up another pooler. Now this person didn't turn up. So entire money load comes on me.

Last night, I received a text from Uber stating that the email address on my Uber account was changed. Since then, I have not been able to log into my account. The hacker also changed the password. Everywhere I look, it all comes back to having the correct email address on the account. I have tried contacting Uber to resolve this problem - there is no phone number and the given email address does not accept incoming messages. The only way to contact them is to fill in a contact form on their website and hope they call.
Since it references my email address, which according to their website is not acknowledged as belonging to my account, I don't know if I will hear from them. I had the double authentication on my account, which is supposed to be highest form of security one can get from Uber. I cannot believe that Uber has such a lackadaisy attitude towards its riders, especially since my email address, cell phone number, travel history and credit card information is all stored on the account.

I am a driver for Uber and noticed I am getting shorted on my pay. I was sent 5 miles to get a rider for a 2 mile ride. Made $2.74. Uber charged the rider $5.96. Uber took $2.30 for themselves then gave me 75% which made my real pay 46%. Uber cheats their drivers. On the 500 plus rides I've given they have probably cheated me out of a few thousand dollars and customer service is a JOKE!! WORSE THAN Comcast.

They said again they cannot refund my money and maybe a family used my account. I expressed that I don't have family here, I stopped in a store and have a receipt during the time the driver claims he dropped me off. It's the principle of the matter. How do you report that you drop someone off that never got into your vehicle that didn't even know you were coming. I would've preferred a ride home versus walking for 30 mins.

I have been emailing back and forth to Uber about this, but every time it is always someone different replying to me and it is as though they do not even read the previous replies. All they keep telling me is that the charges are legitimate. The first time they told me it is legitimate, then I relied and told them that I was charged and I have my bank statement to prove it, then the next person tells me that it looks as though the charges were disputed and refunded to me, then the next person tells me the charges are legitimate and does not read the previous emails.
After, a long time, I finally get someone that said the money was refunded in April and asked me to send my April bank statement, which I did, but then they tell me it looks like in the system it shows it was refunded in May and to send the May statement which I then did, and now the reply to me again is that it looks like the charges are legitimate. This is really ridiculous because no one seems to be able to understand that I was charged and never refunded any money.

First, my complaint is Uber REFUSES to call anyone so you can have a conversation about your dissatisfaction. Second my complaint is that they are running a bait and switch that is unethical. My TRIP: THE ISSUE is that their app told me I could USE UberX for a trip from the Indianapolis airport to my house in Cincinnati and the fee would be $115. I checked it 3 different time during the week to confirm the rate wasn't a error. When I got to the Indy airport from FL I checked it again and the app said my cost would be $115. WHEN the driver showed up tells me that I can't use UberX but had to select UberXL because of the distance of the trip.
If that was the case then their app should have alerted me FROM THE BEGINNING that I could only use UberXL for that distance. If it would have said that THEN I would have rented a car for $90 instead of having to pay $235. At that time I had no choice because I had to be back in Cincinnati at 3pm. Therefore, my only choice was to follow the driver's instruction to ACCEPT the ride with UberX for a short ride (which I did) and then resubmit the request under UberXL again which I did. Instead of the fare being $115 it ended up being $235.
AND... it seems no one at Uber can understand my frustration and NO ONE is willing to have a conversation with me, which is absolutely ludicrous! They know that if I would have thought the ride would cost $235 I (or any other logical person) would have rented a car and they would have lost the fare. Complete bait and switch!

The pipe was left in the car and a burn hole in my car. He sent pictures to Uber and they said that they needed a quote. So the first quote we got was almost $2000 from Chrysler since that's my car. We only received the quote over the phone. It was too far away to drive so we called Chrysler near us. They referred us to a person that gave us a quote of about $300. He sent the quote to Uber and they got back to him today.
The insurance company called him and said that it was a $1000 deductible. So the amount had to be over 1000. We had sent them the $300 and they said they were not paying for it. He contacted Uber again and they messaged him back telling him that they tried to charge the rider but the rider has to agree to it. Of course they did not want to pay it. They said that the insurance company has the final decision. Now I'm left with a burn mark from an Uber rider and nothing is going to be done. Uber is the worst company to work for.

There were 2 cancellations on this evening both by the same driver in the same hour. On this night my 18 year old son (who had struggled from kidney failure since birth and whose growth was somewhat stunted) was hanging out with friend at the "sci fi factory" near Keller TX was ready to walk the 1.5 miles home when I told him just to wait and I'd get him an Uber. The Uber driver pulled up... took one look at my son and screamed "you have to be 18 to ride!" Then he pulled away leaving my son standing there. Never asked for ID... never even gave me a call!
My son informed me of the situation... I immediately set a ride to take me from my home 1.5 miles down the road. Again that ride went to the same driver who then cancelled it as well. So I had to reschedule a ride to my son in order to ride with this 18 year old 1.5 miles down the street. The next day my Uber account was shut down with a $50 gift card attached and shortly after that my mom who was linked thru the family Uber program also reported her account to have been shut down.
I loved the Uber program up until this. I have written several complaints requesting just my $50 from the gift card be returned and my request has been ignored. No one has ever asked me what happened... This driver simply concluded my son was less than his 18 years and I was immediately convicted and punished for an error in his judgement. It is now my goal to spread the word about the customer service I was shown and hope it doesn't happen to anyone else.

My family recently visited NYC and my dad has had great luck using Uber in other cities in the past, so when we couldn't get a cab easily, we took Uber quite a few times over our 3 day trip. Some trips were great, some were just okay, but one of them was beyond bad. We were traveling from near Times Square to Battery Park (we had reservations to be on Ellis Island at a specific time). We selected Battery Park as our drop off point, and told it to our driver again when we got in the car (the dirty, smelly car).
None of us are from New York, but even we know that Battery Park is at the bottom of Manhattan, I mean really it's not some obscure location. We realized we were getting close, and then for some reason, we were going through a tunnel. When my dad tried to ask the driver why we were going through a tunnel, he couldn't really answer the question, because he spoke literally no English. I'm super glad that Uber is open to hiring all cultures and everything, but I do think that drivers should speak enough English to communicate with passengers about their route and destination.
As we emerged from the tunnel a few minutes later, it turns out we were in Brooklyn. Now again, I'm not from NYC, but I 100% know that Brooklyn is NOT on the way to Battery Park from Times Square. As we tried to explain to the driver that we were clearly in the wrong place, he was still so confused. Eventually, we had to pull up our own GPS and attempt to get him to the right place. We ended up having to get out a few blocks from Battery Park and run to the ferry to try to make our reservations. We ended up missing any time on Liberty Island, simply because this driver had absolutely no idea what he was doing. To add insult to injury, while we were on the ferry, my dad received an email of a fare adjustment because there were tolls on the tunnel (about $10).
When we contacted Uber, after quite a few messages they finally agreed to refund just about half of the fare (half of the total that included the completely unnecessary toll charges). This driver made a completely incomprehensible mistake, ruined part of our vacation, and to be honest, it was a little scary when we knew we were in a stranger's car heading somewhere unknown. I think that if Uber is going to send completely unprepared and irresponsible drivers out in their name, they need to stand behind that and offer full refunds for experiences as bad as this.

This all started last Friday 5/5, I requested Uber at 6:28, my Uber took a few min. but Pineda came at a reasonable time. My stop is 5-6 min. from my house but the stupid Uber app told the driver to go in the opposite direction to get the other rider 15 min away and therefore made me miss my 7 am bus. So I then had to take another Uber because the next bus was 7:35 and that would have made me even later for work. Not only that but I have taken this ride several times and it cost $6, why was I charged $9.30. The receipt even says $6.26. So now I have to request another Uber to get me to the train. That was another charge but it looks like they took care of that one from Friday.
So today's 5/10 events were even better. I started requesting the Uber at 6.30 am so, 2 Ubers cancelled on me back to back. The 3rd Uber request went in but the the app said he cancelled. So I tried getting another driver but the 3rd driver ended showing up but of course by then I miss the 7 am bus again, so I had to request a 4th uber to the train station to get to work once again late! I want those fares credited for the inconvenience you Ubers have caused. $5.14 and $4.85 are the 2 fares I had to take and get the train on time.

I had no issues. Because it went so well, I decided to schedule an Uber Express Pool again after work on Tuesday for the same time, 4:56 pm - 5:01 pm. Surprisingly, it was the same price, $3.75.

This is absolutely ridiculous as I had no prior consent or knowledge that this would happen. I tried talking to Uber Support about this issue and demanded compensation for their shady marketing but all they kept saying was "surge pricing" occurred in the area and there was "higher demand" around the time of my pick up.

The most recent issue was yesterday, when I ordered UberPool, however was charged an UberX fee. If you look at my past ride history, I am well aware of how to order Pool vs UberX. The same thing happened to me on 5/1 (UberX instead of Pool), however I believed it was my mistake and did not say anything. Yesterday, however I was very careful. The difference between Pool and UberX is significant and I am frustrated that I have paid so much extra, for no fault of my own. What is worse is that when I wrote to Uber Support, I was given a generic reply where they had not even attempted to fill in the automated blanks, and they would not respond to my messages.
Secondly, last week, I wrote to Uber as my driver asked me to walk 10 minutes for the pickup point. I had a lot of groceries and requested Uber so that I would not have to walk. I was not impressed, and my co-passenger in UberPool was annoyed at me because it took me 10 minutes to walk to the car. It was not my fault! I had put in the correct pickup address. I had ordered UberXL 4/22, I believe. At the time I ordered it, the ETA for pick up was ~ 4 minutes. However, the driver made a wrong turn, and it added 20 minutes to the pickup time. By the time I wanted to cancel, it was past 5 minutes and I did not want to be charged a cancellation fee. I felt that the driver was also unprofessional and did not answer my 2 attempts at contacting him. Once again, Uber Support blamed me and did not even try to acknowledge my concern until the following day - I am sure you will be able to find the thread.
I use Uber and Lyft frequently as it is my primary mode of transportation. I have not faced any issues with Lyft in the past. I like Uber because the app and algorithm seem better, however, based on my experiences, I know feel it is safer for me to use Lyft moving forward because I am frustrated that I am losing money and time with Uber. Lastly, I have been on the "List" to be notified when Flat Fares are released. Both times, the option has NOT been available to me, and my boyfriend can buy passes. When I contacted Uber, they simply replied that the passes sold out (Not true as my boyfriend could still purchase them), and then Uber told me it's not available to every Rider. Seems discriminatory.

I booked an UBER x car from Grand Central to Bed-Stuy and was quoted about $23. Driver was on his way and I got a text that said the fare changed due to increased demand. There was no other information on the app on the fare increase. I texted the driver and asked how much the surge was. He texted "2.2" which I thought was $2.20 or about 10%. I got a receipt for $67.00!!! Or 2.2 TIMES the fare. Numerous emails late and they only want to give a "Courtesy credit" of $18, still paid $50 for the fair quotes at $23.

I ordered a ride to get to work, the ETA said 15 minutes. The driver showed up in 8, and while usually that would be seen as a positive thing, I was not ready to leave yet since I thought I had 7 more minutes. Uber has a feature where the driver cancel the trip 5 minutes after arriving at the destination and it automatically charges the customer $5 even though no service was provided. This happened to me all within the 15 minute time frame I originally agreed upon with the initial Uber request. It's only $5, but it's a matter of principle. On top of this, their customer service is nearly non-existent as they don't even have a phone number to discuss this with anyone. You can only correspond through email which is very impersonal and a massive hassle. I cannot believe how shady they came across with this.
I will personally never use Uber again and will do my best to make sure everyone I know goes to their competitors like Lyft and steals profits from them. It was seriously only $5 and they REFUSED to give it back after several emails back and forth.

First time using this company and last one. Uber has a glitch in the system and the driver was directed to another address. I called him and he refused to come to my pick up location and Uber charged me $5 fee for canceling. I ordered the same service for a second time. The same driver and the same issue. He was sent to another place. I had to walk one block. Upon arrival he showed me Uber sending him to a place that I did not request.
The driver barely spoke English and it was almost impossible to communicate. He did not know the area and took the wrong way, actually the opposite was I arrived late, and I was overcharged waiting time (I had to wait and I was charged due to their incompetent system and also a ride quoted $ 18.86 ended up in $26.02). They overcharged me waiting time that it was their fault and time that it was the driver's fault since he did not know how to get to my destination. I will never use them again and will dispute the charges in addition to make reports to all the involved government agencies.

I'm informing you of some issues that are occurring while using these services. My girlfriend uses uber 5 days out of the week to go to both her school and her work each day. However, we have noticed more lately that the uber drivers keep canceling the rides. It will say they are arriving in 13 mins or however far they are then when they get close they cancel the ride so we request another trip but no 1 is available or it takes up to 15 or sometimes 20 mins to even get another person to accept the request.
So in these cases she has been late to both work and school several times due to the cancellations of the uber drivers. So we have had to resort in getting lyft instead. I understand that sometimes things come up which might cause a cancellation however when you're working for a business where you're getting paid to provide a service such as transportation to people then I don't believe having multiple people multiple times cancel on you looks so good for the company. Word of mouth goes a long way.
Maybe there is a way the company can prevent the drivers from canceling or make it something that they have to come out of pocket a couple dollars to make up for the cancellation to encourage the drivers to not cancel. Simply because if people such as my girlfriend and I rely on uber as a means of transportation that is being used daily and I know many more do the same and if they are having the same issues it doesn't look it nor does it help either side ours or yalls drivers. If people go somewhere else for transportation then Uber loses out on money which means they wont have the money to provide people with jobs. So uber needs to step their game up. Start by making it not a convenient thing for the drivers. If they sign up for a job and accept the drive then backing out of it should not be an option.

I was picked up for a ride to the Atlanta airport on 4/27/17 in what was supposed to be an UberX. Uber's stated standards for an UberX are a 4-seater car. But I had to ride in the FRONT SEAT of a teeny-tiny, red 2-seater. I had to hold my luggage on my lap because it was so small. And worst of all, it was driven by somehow who didnt know how to operate the GPS. He said, "Sorry I dont know how to use the updated system." For more than half the ride, the GPS kept trying to redirect us back to my house (the starting point). I was having to try to figure out how to operate the system for him. Which is not what I paid for! It was incredibly stressful.
More than halfway through the ride, he realized that he hadn't properly started my ride. So I can't even be sure how the final rate was determined. It said it was a 14-mile ride, but I live 11 from the airport. I contacted Uber promptly about the experience and received an e-mail marked that it was resolved. However nothing was resolved. I was not issued a refund. When I followed up after my trip, they asked me to state why the driver's vehicle didn't match the app description.
How would I know that? Don't they vet their drivers? They should have just issued a refund immediately. I've disputed the charge with my credit card company and filed a BBB complaint, because I don't plan to be treated poorly. I've had some scary experiences with bad Uber drivers, but this is my last. It's not worth jeopardizing my safety or sanity to save on a cab ride. You get what you pay for, and these people are not pros. I want a pro driving me through Atlanta traffic.

I just wanted to know why Customer Rating is displayed on Uber app... What it is related to... So based on this rating, do drivers have authority to cancel our booking?? Or just to show customer that you have to keep quiet if at all you are unsatisfied with the experience... I mean we should give a rating of 5 to all drivers so that they should give us a rating of 5... From my point of view, customer should have a chance to rate a driver as it can be useful for other customers while selecting a cab... But in this case, I just wanted to know why you are providing drivers to rate us... So in this case, as how Uber drivers will be asking us to give rating of 5, we should also ask them to give rating of 5... So do I mean it correct??
For this only reason, I uninstalled Uber app and I am not using this app... As per my understanding/view, drivers may give rating but it should be confidential to company data only. It should not be displayed to customer/to any driver... If at all in any case, customer is very aggressive and so, based on his rating given by the driver, the company should have the right to block him on booking a ride...

So I am away in Vegas and I called an Uber for my daughter in Los Angeles to pick her up at school and take her home. I've done this tons of times with Uber. The school 10 minutes or 3 miles away. It is straight down the street. So I see a charge for 12 dollars and I look and I see the Uber driver picked up my daughter, drove past my house and took her 20 minutes out of the way and then took her back home. So I say that has to be a mistake. I dispute it. No way a 10 minutes ride is more than 10 dollars and I picked a Uberpool so no more than 6. The driver picks up a second person DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE and goes and gets on the freeway. My daughter let him know he's going in the wrong direction and he still take the second person home and then bring her back. Making a 10 minute ride 30 minutes.
So the first dispute I get this: "Thanks for reaching out. We reviewed your trip and it was already adjusted to the estimate to account for the route taken. We're sending you an updated receipt so you can see the adjustment that took place. Refunds generally take between 3-5 business days. Let us know if you have questions."
That brought my total down to 8 dollars. So I wasn't happy with that. I let them know there's no way I am overpaying for a mistake on their part. Because who does that. Overcharge the customer to make sure they still make a profit. Because their driver messed up clearly. This is the second response: "Your driver let us know that the trip recorded incorrect pickup and drop-off points. With that in mind, we adjusted this fare to reflect the actual trip so your driver could be compensated for the full service they provided you. If you have more information to provide us about this trip, please feel free to let us know so we can help. Thank you!"
So I said I didn't send incorrect pickup or drop-off locations because I have never had a problem with this before. I had called Uber from my phone to pick up my daughter when I am not with her many times more than 20 times I'm sure. I've used their flat rates and brought 40 trips a month at least. So now all of a sudden my location was off.
Nope wasn't having it so this is the last response from Uber: "Your uberPOOL fare for any destination is set when you request pickup. Fares for other vehicle options like uberX and UberBLACK are calculated after you arrive at your destination. With uberPOOL, you'll always know your guaranteed fare before you ride. In this case, we are able to make an adjustment to your fare. You will receive an updated receipt with your new fare breakdown. Moving forward, please use the correct destination when requesting a pickup in order to see an accurate upfront fare and help us match you with riders heading in the same direction. We appreciate your understanding. Thanks for getting in touch."
So after this I told them, “Thank you for getting the price correct.” and I will never use their services again. Because this not the first time this has happened. And for them to tell me to make sure I was right on locations when is the last 6 months I have never had a problem before. But what they should have said was, “Our driver made a mistake. Here is a refund for the overpayment and have a nice day.” But I thanked them for their service but I will not be using them ever again.

I drove for Uber for about 4 months in Tucson. Riders are a bunch of crybabies who will leave a 1 star review if you don't let them drink their coffee in your car. Uber has fostered this mentality with its feedback system giving the rider a disproportionate amount of power. It was common for a rider to be disrespectful or abusive. Riders Never tip. Getting paid 95 cents per mile is nothing for what you put up with: traffic congestion, unreasonable riders, canceled rides, wear and tear on your vehicle, increased insurance rates, long waits at the airport, drunk riders, etc.
Go to Uber's website and you will find no mention of the expenses involved with using your vehicle in ridesharing--mainly maintenance and depreciation. YOU ARE NOT BEING COMPENSATED FOR THIS. AND UBER DOESN'T WANT DRIVERS TO KNOW THIS. This is the dirty little secret in the rideshare business. There's a reason why 50% of drivers are no longer with Uber after 6 months.

Despite the fact that the bus was only 5 blocks away, he couldn't find me. My dumb decision as I let two buses pass by and as the 3rd bus arrived, my driver pulled up and told me he found me because of the passenger in the car. The first thing was that the driver was new, ok no problem, but the car had the overwhelming smell of flowers that you couldn't breathe. Then he took me on a circuitous that resulted in me being trapped in downtown traffic the complete opposite of my direction.

Given where I was, I jumped on the underground and made my way home and can guarantee that I made it home faster than the Uber would have got me there.

(Which we normally do with no problems) We dropped off the birthday girl 1st and then 5 blocks away it would be my turn, but this driver refuse to turn into my parking lot which left me no choice but to just have stop in the middle of the street to let me out. As I got out in a hurry I dropped my keys in his Van. I had my friend contact the third girl but she was too drunk to pick up.
The next day I contacted the 3rd girl to get the drivers information and have her fill out a lost item report to have the driver call me back, since it was her credit card that was used for the trip.

I then took matters in my own hands to reach out to the support group, but they refused to help me since it was not my card that was used. They wanted me to contact my acquaintance and have her fill out a report and she would then have to deal with them.
Seeing that this was my problem and hers I did not want to burden her with more of my problems. I just come to the conclusion that I will not be seeing my keys anytime soon. I wish there is a better way for the other passengers in the Uber to obtain their lost Item without involving the cardholder and making it such a difficult process.

In this phase, ETA become slow. 8 minutes waiting.
And two of the scenario will occur. 1- They show you that the driver is still far so you would think, "yes let me cancel and find someone closer" and even Uber will ask you why you had canceled and one of their reason is "too far" eventually. You got charged for 5$. 2- Maybe the driver is close but he would rather to cancel the ride and take ** without going all the way to pick you up. Let's say none of these situation happened.

I waited over 15 mins just to see him drive past the requested pickup area and continue to drive through all of Terminal C (as I was trying to chase him down) without slowing down or attempting to pull into any of the subsequent pickup areas to look for me.
This driver also did not attempt to contact me and proceeded to cancel my ride and charge me a $5 cancellation fee. I notified Uber of the situation and they refused to refund me my cancellation fee (would only provide an Uber credit) because it was "not in accordance with our policy". The fee is not the issue I had, it was the principle that I was charged for the fee. At no point was this my fault for the cancellation - the driver drove past me and did not even attempt to pick me up! After multiple attempts to contact Uber, they stopped responding to my messages. Uber is so petty that they would rather charge a fee than respect a customer who has been using their service for years. I am deleting their app and telling everyone about what a horrible service they are.

Be alert for selecting UberPool for a reduced fare but being charged UberX or Economy at double the fare. When attempting to resolve, the company will state things such as 'we've adjusted a fare in the past for you' coupled with 'your fare is correct,' finally with a conclusion of 'your driver selected the trip in good faith.' I have been an Uber passenger on many occasions and never had a fare adjusted. My fare was absolutely incorrect and my driver selecting my trip is great, however, I wish to not pay a much higher fare for a type of ride I did not select. Uber leaves their customers with no additional help or recourse but to dispute charges with their credit card company.

I took an UberGo taxi today morning from my home (Tambaram) to my office MRC Nagar. I saw the payment estimate to be around 304-350 but I was charged 484. Added today is my first Uber ride. I also struggled with making payment via my card. I dont have payment wallet option so I have previously added my card details to the payment option. But the payment gateway through my card was not enabled. Need proper explanations from authorities.

On 4-17-17 I signed up as a new to Uber customer. I tried to schedule a ride for the following day, but not knowing how Uber worked I inadvertently requested an Uber driver for the wrong day. When the driver profile popped up I called him and told him that I had inadvertently order the Uber ride for the wrong day, he said (the driver's name was Javier) he would cancel the ride for me. I trusted that the ride was cancelled, but to my surprise another driver was on his way to my home (David), I immediately cancelled this driver and suddenly was confronted with a popup saying I was being charged a cancellation fee of $5.00. I never ordered a second driver, so I do not know how another driver could be sent.
One of the things "I HATE" about this system is that Uber has no way to call to speak with a customer service representative, nor do they have adequate cancellation options under their support screen. This company SUCKS!! They don't have a way to speak with ANYBODY, ANY PERSON, ANYONE!!! If this is the new millennium of how business will be done in the future it REALLY SUCKS!!! I DON'T GET IT! I DON'T LIKE IT! AND IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! This is an AWFUL COMPANY!

Uber driver and the people that work in the office is very unprofessional. They do not pick you up in front to your door, the drivers are always canceling and you're stuck with the driver's cancellation fee which is unfair. The only communication you have to complain is thru email which is stupid. It should be a phone number for you to dial and speak to someone.

Concept of Uber is great. Try finding customer service is the pits. Once you contact them via messaging you will find that if you have an ongoing conversation, replies their system is set up to tag next available service rep. Meaning every time you send in your reply, a new service rep has to review all the conversations to get the rest of the customer’s problem. Extremely time consuming on both parts. My wife is presently texting them as I write. I'm not a patient man and have spent two three days going back and forth on a relatively simple question. "How do I add my payment method to my account". Simple right? What a BS management team they have. It usually lies on management too.

On the evening of March 25, 2017, I scheduled an early morning ride with Uber for March 26 to Dulles airport. A few minutes after our requested pickup, the driver called and said he was on his way. We noticed on the Uber app that his vehicle was at Dulles and was not moving towards our location. The driver subsequently called and cancelled the pickup. Since we did not have sufficient time to make alternate arrangements, we drove our own vehicle to the airport and paid $272 for two weeks of parking. We noticed that the Uber vehicle remained in the same position in the Dulles area while we were in route to the airport. Up to this experience, we have been pleased with the Uber service, however, we will not rely on Uber again when we need to be somewhere at a certain time.

I'm not sure anything is in place to go after this deceptive "company". I can't even call this a company. It's nothing, it's an app. The charging practices have to be illegal. They come up with their own rules and prey on anyone using this "app". I see them losing out on their "app" and lawsuits will start piling up. Everyone thought the concept was good, I'm seeing the loopholes and Uber needs to go.

I did one trip last month with Uber. But still I didn't get paid for it. I contacted with them. They all are liar. The day I did the trip same day I e-mail to them. They said “you will see in your partner dashboard.” But didn't show up. Then I e-mail again. They said 48 hours. After 48 hours I e-mail again. Now they are asking for information again. I said “how many times I've to give you information.” Then they ask for trip no. I said “the day I did the job from that time it's totally vanished so how I'm gonna give you trip no. Only I can give you passenger name, approximate time, pick up address and destination” and I gave it to them. Then they said again 48 hours.
After 48 hours I e-mail again, “are you guys playing with me? Just tell me are you gonna pay or not, I had enough.” Then they said it solved but after that trip which I already got it. Then I said “before this trip I did one. I'm talking about that one.” Again they said 48 hours. Then I e-mail again and said, “today is 11th day still you guys didn't pay.” Then they answer me “after 10 days we can't do anything.” Before they didn't pay me some trips but I didn't care because those are short trip but this one I went to NJ with traffic and tolls. That’s why I won't let it go so easily. I spend lot of times. Then I said “from now on I'm not gonna work anymore. You guys are cheating with driver harder money.”

Just recently signed up. First time was good $10. Second time same route from work $25. I contacted they gave a refund. For the next Five rides to and from work no problem. On the sixth ride I got to location which was very short. Requested a ride. On walking out the door, I notice driver was still there, he told me cancel and Re-request and he'll get it, but while I tried to do that I got a message saying disabled account. And keep getting the run around with having sufficient credit balance in Uber gift credit and now I don't have a ride.
Used up all my money on purchasing Uber gift credit and no one from Uber is assisting, keep saying they reactivate the account but haven't and I still can't used my already existing credit balance in the sum of almost a $100. No resolve for four days. It's frustrating, taxi company cannot do this kinda of stuff. Neither should Uber be able to treat customers without regards, and should have a Phone Contact (1800) for issues like this. This is unacceptable and shouldn't be allowed. They are stealing and nothing is being done. The law should get involved and protect consumers from these unprofessional people. I need A resolve about my valued credit that I can't use. Wrong Wrong!

Visited Orlando Florida and used Uber twice to return from Universal Studio. The first day I was charged 15.88 and the second trip cost 9.34. When I questioned the first driver about the route we were taking he advised he missed his exit causing him to take the next exit which was completely out of the way. The second driver took the direct route with no problem. When I questioned Uber customer service they explained how algorithms work and found no fault with the fare. I received my receipt and noticed the total should have been 12.84. They did refund the $3 difference but refused to acknowledge the difference in price between the first and second driver even though it was entirely driver error. After researching this seem to be a somewhat common practice. Will use Lyft in the future.

I used Uber regularly as well as UberEATS. I loved the convenience! Once... Today I had a meeting across town. When it was over I requested an Uber pool for the cheap price and I had two hours before my next appointment. I'm thinking, "shouldn't take more than an hour". I was WRONG! The driver that picked my ride drove past me a minimum of 3x. I saw this on the little gps the app provides. The driver eventually started heading to the OTHER side of town! I tried calling twice to make sure he wasn't lost but he forwarded me to his VM both times and never reached out to me. Eventually, he heads away from my location and the ETA becomes even longer.
I tried to cancel to get another driver, but the app charged me $5 to do so. Scared I would just get another ** driver, I contacted Customer service and they say this is a legitimate charge because the driver accepted my ride and it doesn't matter where in town he was or the new ETA after driving past me, only that he took the time to accept the ride. They choose to take $5 over a loyal customer. Choose Lyft, a taxi, bus or hitchhike before trusting these money hungry scammers.

I recently had THREE Uber rides charged to my credit card, charges which my bank originally refused. When I complained to Uber via e-mail, I got a series of potted replies, with them eventually asserting that "they believed the charges were legitimate." Only after having the charges reversed with my bank and contacting Uber a fifteenth time did I get the explanation that my credit card details must have been acquired OUTSIDE Uber and then linked to an Uber account. This is NOT a very convincing explanation.
When the first charge was made to my credit card, my bank supposedly refused it and blocked further charges. For some reason, though, Uber continued to honour my card for additional rides and then blocked me from using their service because of unpaid previous rides. Also, no charges were made to my credit card other than by Uber. And finally, the charges were set up on my credit card as RECURRING charges. How is this even possible WITHOUT some kind of manipulation of the Uber payment system itself? For these reasons, I suspect there is a serious security breach within Uber that they are unwilling to admit.

I have had an ongoing complaint with Uber and it has finally hit the boiling point. I have been taking Uber quite faithfully twice a day for several months now and my pick up and drop off locations have never changed however Uber consistently changes the one address every time. I was OK with that since I was still getting where I needed to be until they started changing the quoted fees as well. When I called them out on it they would say that they had checked and that the information they had was correct. I have emailed them copies of the address plaque on the building where they are picking me up and they are still insisting that I am being picked up at a different address and that it is a longer ride and therefore a higher fare. The address they are insisting is wrong. Is the address for the commuter train station! The really irritating part is that the place that they are insisting I am being picked up at is the building where they house the trains!!
The line I keep getting when asking them to correct the price to what I was quoted is that "The quote is based on the information that the passenger has put into the app and if that information is incorrect then the revised fare will be charged." I would think when I have photographic proof that the information I am putting into the app is correct that they wouldn't have a problem correcting the fee that they are charging to the fee quoted, but they instead keep telling me that the information I put in was incorrect! I am fed up with Uber and am considering switching to Lyft since they are now in my area. I would rather pay a higher fee to someone who is quoting me the higher fee right off the bat and not using a "bait and switch" technique to change the fee than to pay it because of the "bait and switch".

It has happened to me 2 times in a row that I had scheduled a ride and the drivers never showed up. I travel on regular basis and I schedule a ride a night before to the airport thinking I will be on time because of Uber. I missed my flight 2 times and never got refunded for my plane fare. I sent an email stating my complaint. The first time they never got back to me which was on March 19th 2017 6 in the morning. Same thing happened today. Also I had a flight to catch.
1- The first driver never showed up. Called me stating that he is late 15 mins away Instead of 1 min. I missed my flight to the airport. When I asked him that I scheduled a ride a night before he stated that IT'S NOT HIS job to be there on time and told me to called a nearest driver, same thing Happened again. I trust Uber again because I didn't have a choice and they didn't show up again. The driver's name was Syed.
2- The second driver that I had scheduled a ride with today was also very unprofessional and rude. Called me, he was supposed to be here 1 min ago and it's been half an hour and still not here. He stated that he missed an exit and won't be able to make it. What the hell is this? I don't trust Uber services now. Will never book again with them. Well they can care less because they have a lot of business because it's an app based business. Their service should be good but they seem like a fraud. If they charge me a 5 dollar fee how many other people they are charging and making thousands of money off of everyone and NOT REFUNDING. What do I do at this point. This is a FRAUD. Drivers are canceling by themselves and charging fees.
Lastly Uber is not reliable at all because they are making so much money. They don't care about their customers. I submitted a complaint last time. No one responded me. Don't have any number that you can call. They are just app based and have a horrible service! Driver name was NABIN driving TOYOTA VENZA plate **. Don't trust this driver. Charged me money and never gave it back. Very upset about this situation. Someone NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS.

I live in SF and I will NOT use Uber (and Lyft) anymore because of rude driver behavior. I have found too many of the drivers, from those companies, don't follow basic courtesy of at least pulling off the road for a pickup or drop off. And I mean with a curb space a mere 2 feet away. In fact I saw a driver pick up a passenger in the middle of an intersection (granted it was a 3 way intersection). He block the traffic as is so often the case. Both companies need to list to their customer that the driver will stop at the closest parking or off road location. And drivers need to pull OFF the roadway.

He did, but he refused to pick up my aunt who was on wheelchair. She was released from hospital after full recovery but aged 91, we did not want her to walk. He zoomed away in style. What did that moron expect when a customer calls from a hospital. We called the reliable trustworthy Ola and reached home sound and safe.

I made several other errors in trying to schedule a future pickup time and had to cancel the ride again.
When I finally figured the App out and tried to reschedule a ride, I got this message. "ERROR. Too many cancellations. Please retry requesting later." When I messaged UBER again they kept asking me to send a screenshot from my phone (I could not do this) showing the error message. I sent them the actual error message. After several emails, they finally said I was reinstated. That wasn't true. I kept getting the same message. I finally gave up since I could not schedule for a future pickup day and time.
