    On Feb. 6, I contacted Uber to take me to see a friend who's under the weather, first of after 4 no shows, I finally got a ride, secondly although it was short ride I was twice one in the amount of 12.20 which my receipt shows and the other 12.93 both of which was charged to my account. Unfortunately after contacting Uber's customer service problem has not been resolved nor have I received credit. No problem, apparently I'm only person that this has happen, I wonder how long Uber can continue business.

    I bought a Uber card because I'd heard that Uber will pick up a package and deliver it. So I bought the Uber card, started a Uber account, and added the hundred dollar card to my acct, but when I tried to use it to have a package delivered it wouldn't let me. So I called customer service. I was told by a very rude employee of Uber, that I can't use the card to have packages delivered. And a few days after that I tried to use the money is put on the gift card to book a ride, but again, it didn't work, so I called customer service and was told that the gift card won't work unless I have a "real" credit card (ie. Not prepaid) on my account. (If I had a real credit card I wouldn't need to buy a Uber card.) I was also told that the money I put on the Uber card cannot be transferred to anything and cannot be refunded. So basically, Uber totally screwed me out of one hundred dollars. They're THIEVES AND CROOKED.

    UBER ABUSE. Last night $70 Uber ride from the airport. Uber Driver tells me she’s not taking the interstate because of construction. (What construction?). Uber Driver stops to buy food because of chronic health conditions which affect her ability to drive. I guess Uber doesn’t screen for this. Uber Driver Comes back to car to say credit card was rejected. Not sure if I was supposed to pay. Uber Driver finds another card. Eventually Uber driver gets back in the car. I tell her I’m in a hurry. Uber driver says, "No you’re fine." Uber Driver eats meal while driving me home over the speed limit. Uber customer service has confirmed the side trip and offers me a $20 Uber credit. Uber customer service department says there is no one at Uber with the authority to adjust the charge. Uber is sending me emails telling me how happy they are that they could resolve my problem! Is this elder abuse.

    On September 30, 2023 my wife and I took an Uber from Bellaire, TX to the Westin Galleria, an 11-minute ride. I rated the driver a 5 and gave him a tip for the uneventful ride. The following morning I was charged $150 for a "Cleaning Fee" for "a mess that occurred on the trip". I disputed the charge on the app and got nowhere. I notified American Express that I had been erroneously charged -- that the driver was at least mistaken, or had outright lied. AMEX reversed the charge; however, the charge remained on my Uber account.

    I requested whatever documentation Uber had that my wife and I had made the mess. I was informed that we had "thrown up" in the car. Nonsense. I asked for a photo. They sent a photo of a latte coffee spill. I then emailed Uber's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi and got no response. I then wrote him a letter and sent it certified mail. Still no response. I have concluded I have been a victim of an Uber scam. If you are a stockholder you should sell tomorrow.

    I tried Uber first time to get 25 mi. ride into town for a 3pm appointment, and started looking about an hour before I needed to leave. Uber app connected me with 1 driver at a time, as each one took 10 to 15 minutes to review details (according to app) and reject the fare. After being rejected by 4 drivers for no known reason, I could no longer make the appointment on time. After 2 more rejections for no known reason, I could not make the appointment at all. Don't waste time with Uber drivers who don't want to work and Uber app which forces you to deal with them one at a time. CALL A CAB!

    I am legally blind and travel with a guide dog. I have learned from drivers that Uber keeps a database of customers with service dogs and with disabilities that their drivers can access, but to which none of us in the database consented, and the company uses that database to enable drivers to cancel rides before arrival so they can more efficiently deny access to customers traveling with their service dogs. As if this service could get more awful to use than it already was, now, their drivers are allowed to turn down rides by canceling them so there’s no outright, provable denial of access so it permits the company to circumvent both the law and court rulings on the matter.

    I’m just glad I live in a place with public transit because if I had to rely on Uber and Lyft, given the number of denials I experience nearly every time I try to use those services, I wouldn’t have access to reliable transportation. It’s gotten so bad that I dread using either Uber or Lyft because of the constant denials, and the lack of accountability for those by the drivers and companies.

Uber deactivated my account. I can’t go in there to give the cops this driver's name, license plate because they deactivated my account.

Driver got mad because he picked me up from a Chinese store because I didn’t ask him if I can bring my food and his car mind you I’m not eating it just pick my food up and going home and he had a problem with that, any time he could’ve canceled the ride but he could see you just say this is his car. Threaten my life really he wanted me to ask him if it was OK for me to bring my food that was not open and his vehicle. I told him I was not gonna ask him that I’m not eating it and I’m not putting my food in the nasty trunk Uber.

He did it with another lady. His attitude was off, when he picked me up, he was on a phone call that was Lanco on his way and took it out on me. It’s ridiculous.

I should have checked out the reviews for Uber on this site before booking with them for the first time! 85% of reviews gave Uber a "1" (probably because they couldn't leave a "0" as I'd like to do). Booked a ride yesterday for pickup today at 10:30 after a doctor's appointment. Just had a knee replacement so it's painful getting around, and I was totally dependent on Uber showing up on time.

    At 10 am I get a text that says my driver is early and will be waiting. I reply "Great! My appointment is over- I'll be right down." I go outside, nobody in sight. I text back. Then again... And after 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. No reply from the driver "Michael." at 10:35 HE cancels my ride and I'm charged a $25 cancellation fee! What's worse, besides being left stranded with a painful knee, is that I SWEAR I saw the guy driving around, checking me out? His photo is on the Uber page with ride info.

    I’ve used Uber for years and throughout the world without any problems worth repeating. Which is why I never knew what a colossal nightmare the relationship becomes when things go south. On a visit to London, I requested an Uber, inputting the address of my central London hotel. The driver picks me up and about 15 minutes, I look up from my phone to notice we’re stuck in traffic heading in exactly the wrong direction to central London. Unbeknownst to me, the street address I had inputted exists both in central London and in a suburb of London, and the driver had just assumed I wanted the suburb (probably because as it turns out this is in the direction of his home, so he probably got stuck on that idea).

    Please note, no postcode had been inputted because the app accepted the address without it. Anyway, what should have been a half hour ride, wound taking an hour, so when my credit card bill came and I remembered this trip, I tried to dispute with Uber, but to no avail – the system just kept returning a verdict in my disfavor. The verdict took so little time to return (a couple of minutes at most) that it was clear no person was even reading my dispute nor looking at the map of our journey which supported my claim. So I called my credit card company and disputed half the charges. Next thing I know, Uber charges me again the entire trip!

    I called the cc company again and dispute all of this second billing. Now Uber won't even let me book a trip unless I first pay the full fare for the original trip. No consideration is given to how many trips and how many years I’ve used Uber without incident – their system just assumes I’m suddenly trying to save on a fare by pretending I have a legitimate grievance. What’s worse, I’m not even allowed to close my account until this bill is settled!

    On October 21, 2023, I took a bus to my brother's apartment to get him so we could go to an appointment. Once there, I ordered Uber through the app. I saw that a car was on the way so we waited. A few minutes later I saw that the ride was canceled and I do not know why. So I ordered another one. This driver arrived and took us to our destination without incident. A few days later, I went online and found out that I had been charged $5.50 for the cancellation. So I went to their website to find an email address, they do not have one. Next, I looked for a phone number, again, they do not have one. I finally contacted them through a help link that said something like, "Where is my refund?".

    I explained my issue and received a reply letting me know that they were going to give me a refund of $5.50. I was not told where to expect this refund, so because I paid with a debit card, I checked the bank, no refund. I finally looked on the app and saw that they credited me with $2.50. Since there is no phone number or email address in which to contact them, and I do not wish to play the help link game, I decided to take this route. I would like to get the $5.50 back, but if that is not possible, I can deal with it. But there are a few things that do bother me.

    The First Issue

    I feel that we as consumers, should be able to either call them, or email all Internet companies with concerns. I do not think that this is too much to ask.

    Second Issue

    I was never told why the first car was canceled.

    Third Issue

    If they did this to me, how many other people have they done this to? I wonder what their profits from theft are each year?

    I'm an Uber driver. I had an incident 10/9/2023 where a passenger stole my wallet from my purse while they were in my car. I immediately attempted to contact Uber driver support, and was met with a rude service agent named Dre. Dre was completely uninterested in my plight, and it was obvious he couldn't care less about my wallet being stolen. I asked to speak to someone else on the team, and Dre hung up on me. I was subsequently hung up on by various other service agents while I was on hold---the call was dropped?---and never called back.

    Just now, on 10/26/2023, I called support again for some understanding of why I was never contacted about my missing wallet, and "Nicolas" had a very thick accent that made it difficult to understand every other word he was saying to me. I asked him multiple times to slow down and rephrase, I repeated back what I thought I was hearing him say... finally, I heard a big sigh, and I was hung up on again. I can't even get help from the company I'm driving for? Come on, Uber. Do better.

Or they tell their personal problems to the riders. As if we care. We all have our own crap to deal with. We don't need to deal with uber drivers' life drama.

    I was even told by one driver when I said I was thinking about driving uber that, "There is enough of us. You don't need to do that, at least not out here cuz you're just taking our money then. You need to go up north. We don't need any more drivers area". Yet every time I order an uber it's 30+ minutes before they show. Or before they even confirm ride. But there's enough of them in the area??? No there is not! No. All the drivers in my area are horrible. A good portion of them are awesome people and professional when it comes to their job.

And on top of it when I do pay ridiculous amounts which I never pay $50 bucks I won’t pay over $14. But when I pay $14 I still have to wait 20/30 minutes for my Uber to even get to me constantly making me late.

    I’ve been using both since 2021 and this year has topped pathetic, I have never in all these years had to pay these prices and or wait this long for Uber to pick up. That goes without saying all the ones that cancel and or having no drivers out. Uber definitely needs to change some of their policies and pricing or they are going to be out of business soon.

    Uber is extremely high, and charging a booking fee. They have little drivers on the road, and takes 20 minutes and up to get to you. When you cancelled right away because of the long wait, they still charge you a cancellation fee saying for the driver's inconvenience. It’s the other way around, it’s the rider's inconvenience to have wait a long time for a driver. Uber you need to be ashamed and be put out of business for unfair and unethical practices.

    In speaking to friends and a close friend who always uses UBER, she has NEVER encountered a SURGE PRICING as I have. The $50 difference between what was the original amount stated for the drive from the airport and the revised change is UNACCEPTABLE. A $15 UBER CASH you offered is an insult to me. In the very least it should have been a credit to my account. What is most annoying is there was NO OPTION at the time the surge pricing had occurred for me to be able to cancel the drive I had requested. If there was an option to CANCEL I would have jumped at LYFT as they have never done this to me.

    You did not explain either why my rating as a rider dropped by .01 points after having a nice interactive drive with my driver and probably because the cars are bugged. I was discussing with the driver they only get paid $55 per drive from airport to rider's destination. It is obvious that Uber uses price surges to line their own pockets.

Outpatient Clinic in Cape Coral (2489 Diplomat Parkway E, Cape Coral, FL 33909) to my residence in Fort Myers. After I got into the car, the driver began working with his cell phone, apparently attempting to have it map out the route to my residence. It quickly became apparent that the driver spoke absolutely NO English - none! He continued to work with his phone, and twice got out of the car to attempt to speak to the drivers of other vehicles that were there to pick up other patients departing the facility. None of those efforts were successful. On several occasions, he actually drove around the facility parking lot, apparently trying to get a signal to his cell phone. Again, with no success. He continued to ignore my request to take me home.

    After no less than 25 minutes, and using my cell phone to get directions in Spanish, I was able to convince him to leave the facility and take me home. Why should anyone who speaks NO English be permitted to pick up customers at a location where EVERYONE speaks English! Uber's response to my complaint was to tell me to have the Veteran's Administration file the complaint? Really?

I called Uber and told them that I needed a fair adjustment due to service issues and customer service is just simply set online with me for 10 to 15 minutes while never writing anything, never assisted me and when I got frustrated they continue to just watch and read the messages. I'm just over this company. It's such a SCAMMMMMMMM!

    Every week drivers are making less and less and no surges hardly at all. I've been with Uber 6 years and my pay has dropped over 65%. Uber pays less then the IRS gives you per mile deduction. Do not drive for Uber full time with a car loan or you will fail! Remember in order to make a living you have to put miles on your car. The best scenario is if you want to make 50k a year expect 50,000 miles a year on your car within 3 years you will start having mechanical issues some serious, so you probably won't be able to pay car off before it dies and cost thousands to repair. Just be cautious because days of making good money are gone especially when Uber is taking 50% or more from the cost of the ride. They have made it unaffordable to drive.

    Never had much of an issue until 8/24/23. Had a fire in my apartment complex that has left us without power 3 days in the TX HEAT! I was able to get help with a hotel until power can be restored. Called Uber, took all my devices so I could recharge them including my portable SUGMAX power station. Exhausted I inadvertently left it. Contacted UBER IMMEDIATELY. They took my information but REFUSED to share Phil number with me only to message me at 3am that PHIL can’t find it??? It didn’t need finding. I told them where it was & description!!! ZERO help from UBER to its customers!

    That little power charger may not be much to Uber but for ME it was everything because enduring this HEAT for 2 days & nights it kept me ALIVE. I only have a night or 2 at the hotel. Repaired or not I may be returning to that hotbox. Now no way to run a fan or charge devices. I have literally been in tears all night. Haven’t been able to rest. I’m 60 years old.

    I decided to use Uber to take me to a dental appointment in which I was going to be sedated. Driving myself was not an option for coming home. The quote they gave me was around 7-$8 to go less than a mile away. Not bad. After the surgery, Uber quoted a price of about the same to go home...less than a mile away. Later that day when I went to finalize the bills with driver tips included, I found that my charges were over $30 for one of the trips and around $27 for the other trip. Talk about shock. They had included a $9 "listing fee" on each bill...what ever the hell that is.

    They don't tell you about that added on charge when you get the "quote" for your trip charge. It just appears after you've taken your ride. So...I paid around $60 to go less than 2 miles round trip with a $5 tip for each driver included. Needless to say, unless I am dying, I won't be using Uber again. Those "hidden" fees should not be hidden when asking about a trip quote. Very DECEPTIVE.

    As of today I've been with the company a little over 3 years and every day seems to be an issue on their end. Today's issue seems to be compensation. As we all know Uber is greedy, and you will have to call them multiple times to get properly compensated, the company will keep 50 cents out of a $2 toll, the company will remove your pay for a ride and you will have to call 4-5 times to get properly compensated. And during those four or five calls you will talk to somebody in a different country who will not transfer you to a supervisor unless you threaten legal action. Once you get in touch with a supervisor after being on the phone for 2 hours and not getting nothing accomplished you're a little upset, so the supervisor will tell you they're going to disconnect the phone call because they feel uncomfortable. So don't expect any sort of help from the so-called support team. Not even to talk about the customers. Rude, unhygienic, and unappreciative.

    Frustration and Loss of Income Due to Unresolved Account Issue. I'm extremely disappointed with the way Uber handled the situation that left me without a car or income. The car I was driving for Uber was under two accounts, and due to a drunk driver hitting the other driver, my source of income was abruptly halted. While I understand that the other driver needed compensation, it's unacceptable that I was left in the lurch with no resolution or alternative arrangement. This has not only cost me financially but has also negatively impacted my livelihood. The lack of support and communication from Uber during this difficult time is disheartening.

Not only this but also gives very low fare to the drivers. Another issues is that lot of customers misbehaves in the car. If say anything they gives bad reviews. It affects drivers' rating. Customers knows this rating thing so most of the customers misuse the rating thing. In my advice I don't prefer this Uber if they don't treat good to drivers.

    Uber has become a greedy service that is unfair to drivers and shaking down riders. On a trip this weekend to Portland, I noticed unusually high fares. As I went through my email reviewing 12 ride receipts, I discovered that Uber is charging $15 to schedule a ride plus a booking fee. On the $64.83 ride the total in hidden fees was $21.53. My further aggravation with Uber is that the scheduling is unreliable. As a rider, we have 5 minutes before Uber starts charging waiting time. On the other hand, Uber leaves customers hanging.

    Worse is what happened when we ordered a car to take us to the airport at the beginning of our trip. We never received a text that driver arrived. The message said, "Take your time and charges will start being incurred at 5:45 a.m." Then another text at 5:45 a.m. came stating the driver cancelled and I was tagged with $40 cancellation fee, Buyer beware! If you schedule, take into account it adds at least $21 to the fare. Also, make sure to tip the drivers, because Uber’s compensation is unfair.

    I needed a ride home from the Portland airport, after spending 15 hours getting there. After a bad experience with UBER and reading all the horrible reviews, I had decided never to use UBER again, so I was waiting for a taxi. The line for a taxi was long, because of others angry with UBER, and none were available. After I saw it could take forever, I caved and decided to get an UBER. I just wanted to get home. I opened the APP, and clicked on the top available car that said the fee was $56 and the car was 5 minutes away. I figured it was probably waiting in the cellphone parking lot. I confirmed the ride, and was immediately told the driver was 15 minutes away. What? Within a couple of minutes, I was told the car was 17 minutes away, and then again I was told it was 19 minutes away. I looked at the screen and could see the car was moving away, instead of getting closer. It was across the bridge into Washington, in the next town over.

    I have only used UBER a handful of times, and asked another UBER driver who pulled up how I could cancel the reservation. He had me scroll down, to where I could cancel with a fee, or call the driver. I called the driver and asked him why he was moving away, and if he was coming to get me or not, and he hung up. I tried calling back twice with no answer. At this point I had no choice but to cancel, as I didn't even know if he was coming to get me or not, but the APP would not let me cancel without accepting a fee to do so. What a scam. I only chose the car because it showed that car being 5 minutes away, not 15, 17 and 19 minutes away, when there were multiple other cars that were close. How could their system be so off? And when the car was getting further away, being charged for canceling was ludicrous.

    By the time I went through the steps of calling, being hung up on, trying multiple times to reach the driver again, and canceling, it showed he was now 11 minutes away, so who knows what they will charge me, as I'm sure they will say he was on the way. I haven't checked my credit card yet, but this is ridiculous. I then got a taxi and got a ride home that cost less than the UBER ride would have cost. I thought UBER was supposed to be cheaper. Not so. After the last time I had an issue with UBER, I know it is impossible to reach anyone there. I read complaints from people who had the driver take off with their luggage still in the car, cellphones in the car, or other issues, and were never able to speak to anyone and get their belongings returned. Beware of UBER. I used it about 3 times with no issues, but learned real quick that if you do have an issue, you can never speak to anyone to get it resolved.

    Yesterday, I took an Uber from the airport to my home in South Surrey. I had made a reservation previously and the total amount disclosed to me at the time of making that reservation was $166.17. This was presented as a lump sum, one number only. However, when I received my receipt, after the trip, I was shocked to see that I had been charged a $50 “Reservation Fee” plus another $5 “Booking Fee”. The Trip Fare was only $98.26. This means that the additional fees for making a reservation amounted to 56% of the trip cost itself ($55/$98.26), ignoring the $5 in misc. other fees. These were not “surge pricing” fees relating to the number of customers during a peak service period. They are simply fees charged for asking for a car.

    It is egregious, if not usurious, for Uber to charge such high additional fees in addition to their trip charges. Had these usurious fees been fully disclosed at the time the reservation was made I would have been better informed in my decision-making process. I have contacted Uber about this matter but they have chosen to take no further action at this time.

I have to wonder whether Uber has any humans at all employed in customer support. It seems they hope to just exasperate the customer until you give up and go away. Other companies will give you a bot and then if your issue isn't resolved, will send you to a human.

So I call my credit card and report this and they issued a credit but later reverse it because Uber showed them a receipt with a trip from our house.

I asked the rider if he just wanted to tell me where he was headed and I could at least start going that direction until I got everything up and running. He ignored me only to then a minute or two later toss his phone up to the front of my car and said, "Let's just ** go, this is ** ridiculous." I advised he could request another car so he snatched his phone, got out and SLAMMED my door and then complained that the driver didn't fit my profile. I got an email from Uber and I explained the situation and the email I received back said they understood that riders sometimes are not honest, "Don't worry about it. Nothing is happening on your account. We just have to notify both parties."

    I had to stop doing Uber for a week or two because I couldn't afford the rental but as soon as I got back at it so did Avis. I reserved a car, drove across town to pick it up and they had NOTHING FOR ME and sent me ACROSS TOWN the other direction to another location and the phone number they gave wasn't working, the address wasn't a car rental place but a hotel. I finally gave up for the day. The next day I drove down further past the hotel and found the Avis location. HOW FUNNY IS IT THAT I GET THE EXACT SAME CAR but now I have to pay even MORE because the taxes are higher!!!! I had to wait around for awhile because that was the ONLY car they had for me and it was in "repo" status (ya I don't know either) so once they got it out of that status I was free to go.

    While I was I had to call my bank because it was a new account and I had to verify the charge. The lady at the counter was asking me if it was showing up on the app and as I stated earlier, I have 2 phones. So while I was trying to get in touch with my bank my son pulled up the app to verify. The counter lady said, "Oh, you have access to the account as well." My son told her that he would sometimes help me with the opportunities because if you drive for Uber you know the scheduled rides go fast and it's easier for both of us to look, again on 2 phones that are MINE. I literally gave maybe 4 rides and at 11:30 at night, while I had 3 scheduled rides between then and like 6-7am because they say I have received multiple safety complaints.

    The email I received stated something about app sharing, hmmmm wonder where that idea came from (counter lady) which is untrue because as I stated I have 2 phones and I was not app sharing with anyone. I called customer service who informed me the specialized department would have to tell me why, I emailed back and fourth with multiple customer service reps, managers and even the specialized team and not one of them could explain what happened. They all had the same template response. I think counter lady possibly (ass)umed that is what was going on and reported it because literally the last 2 rides I had were great and if anyone felt unsafe they sure played it off great.

    My ratings were all 5 with only 1/3 star rating and all of the sudden I had 1/1 star rating. I was receiving $18 and even $50 tips. Uber is a horrible place to work for and they absolutely DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR DRIVERS, WHOM WITHOUT THEY WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Guess I'll give Lyft a try and see if they would like a high rated, awesome driver on their team and Uber can fall of the ledge it's creating for itself. I got no rope for you my friend.

    My Uber driver was such a dangerous driver and spoke no English and pull the car over at the side of the road and then the legal lane got out of the car and left me in their car for 15 minutes while they went shopping. Put in my life in danger, and then tried to turn down a wrong Way streets twice and almost hit another car head on after trying to go around other cars by driving in the oncoming traffic lane. I have a video and proof of this and all Uber offered me was five dollar credit. It’s obvious that there is no human handling these issues. It’s all AI that is poorly programmed and just a prime example of the zero human handling or care that Uber does not have towards their clients. All they want is money and profits and your life and safety is zero importance to them. They’re disgusting and should be held accountable.

    I have not used Uber in a long time and was dismayed to see a Booking Fee on top of the ride fee. Uber states that Booking Fee is stated upfront, but it was not noticeable and they need to be more transparent. I did not notice the Booking fee before or after the ride, and tipped the Uber driver way more than 25% if you count the Booking Fee. Uber needs to be more transparent. I will avoid Uber as much as I can moving forward.

    On April 21st, I used an Uber to go from JFK Airport to my home, a distance of eight miles. Total time, 12 minutes. The contracted price when I hit the app was $19.71. Uber driver stole, fixing his computer app, accessing my phone-- my phone was in my Uber app. He went into my app, deleted my ride, created a new ride that cost $92.91. I've been chasing Uber. They tell me it's a dynamic pricing issue where it's a criminal fraud issue by the driver. I have filed reports with the New York City Police Department, the New York State Attorney General's Office, the Better Business Bureau, the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commercial, [sic - Commission] and any place that I could. Uber is just non-responsive and is considering this, like I said, a dynamic pricing issue at 1:30 in the morning, where there are no vehicles on the road and Uber drivers are really itching to make money. So that is my issue, driver fraud, unauthorized use of my credit card, and I'm looking for resolution.

    My ride was standard good per Uber rules etc, however the driver Muhammad! This guy reports he found my phone I dropped in the back seat, then says to corporate it's not mine as I fully characterize my busted screen, color, make, and model. Not to mention this is my company phone so I really need that. This guy won't call back or return it, worst of all this guy only lives two streets over, following my phone on GPS all day and night for 3 nights! I use to live and swear up and down by Uber but it only takes "One Bad Apple" to spoil the bunch. What's up Lyft?! Looking mighty fine right now!

    I left my phone in an Uber. I tried to log into my Uber account from my computer, but once I entered my email, Uber would send me a 4 digit pin on my missing phone to enter into the computer!! My girlfriend has an Uber account, so I reached out to Uber help 2 times using her account. Both times I was sent a link to select where I was prompted to enter my email address and once again, was sent a 4 digit pin ON MY MISSING PHONE to enter.

    LUCKILY, I had a few things in my favor.
    1. I had the "Find My Phone" feature enabled on my phone.
    2. My driver mentioned he lived near me.
    3. My driver also mentioned that I was his last ride for the night. (10:30 PM.)

    4. My Smart Watch could connect to my phone from a distance.

    I found where my phone was (where he parked his car), and drove close enough to my phone for it to connect to my watch. I was then able to retrieve the 4 digit text message that was SENT TO THE MISSING PHONE, enter it into the computer, and was finally prompted to enter my password. For Uber to send a 4 digit pin to a MISSING PHONE...it makes absolutely no sense.

    How does Uber expect a person to be able to log in to their website using a 4 digit pin THAT IS SENT TO A MISSING PHONE? I know it was my fault for not doublechecking the car to ensure that I had all of my belongings, but Uber provided absolutely NO HELP in logging into my account. There is no phone number or human being customer service rep to actually talk to. It was extremely frustrating to deal with and I will not be using Uber anymore.

    I left my wallet and phone in my Uber ride by accident. The next day I contacted the driver. The Uber driver said he had my wallet and phone then requested 350 US dollars to return it. I contacted Uber to tell them what happened, a few hours later the driver texted me he threw my items away. I contacted the police, I have a police report. I had replaced my debit, credit cards and driver's license since.

    Two days later he contacted me telling me he was outside my gate and he had my items. I now have my phone and wallet from him. However, it was three days later and I’ve already paid money for a new phone and the replacement items I thought he threw away because of his threats. Now Uber is requesting I pay the Uber driver 20 more dollars to the driver because he has now stated he has returned the items. Also, my card on file doesn’t work anymore because I had to replace it. I do not want to pay this Uber driver and I would like to be refunded for the trip and reimburse for the phone I had to replace and the driver's license I had to pay for to replace. Uber has not reached out to me about this issue yet, it has been a week. Uber doesn’t care about its customers from my experience.

    I thought I was the only one...until I found your reviews here. I've spent quite a lot annually with Uber. That's over as of tonight. The past several rides have clearly demonstrated their drivers are incompetent, unprofessional and no longer provide the quality and pride of service they used to possess. Late; won't come to the exact address you input; take you on routes certain to get you in traffic - even if you advise them there's construction; surly; rude; and obviously don't know how to read. If they don't know how to read - they shouldn't be driving. We all use Uber for the same thing: To be picked up and delivered to the locations we request.

    Uber provides a service. Apparently their drivers don't understand that. Uber's support is also awful. Send five emails regarding issues. They don't read either. Uber also doesn't make it easy for a rider to cancel or give real feedback about a bad experience. Clearly demonstrates they don't want to provide riders with that access. I, too, would have given 0 stars if that were an option.

    Uber takes over 50% of a fare that should go to the drivers. I guess they think they’re pretty special for inventing an app. You also don’t get much even if you received 100%. It avg 27$ an hour over 3 months. Really Uber, That’s gross before expenses. Now I have money missing they didn’t pay me and was on the phone with 5 different people who couldn’t give me any help lol. 30 dollars. Run. Consumers pay big money on “surge” well the people doing the work in the field. The driver with their own vehicle get half. They also try to send me 10-20 miles to pick up someone for free. You get nothing driving to pick up someone. Their navigation is slow and always wrong especially at the airport in phoenix.

    I can not even give a 1 star, how about a 0 star! I scheduled a ride from Uber from driver Fatino in Port St. Lucie to the Orlando airport. Fatino showed up almost 30 min late, making me almost miss my flight to Minneapolis. Things went downhill from there. First, he asked me how much I paid for this ride and I told him $178, he said if I gave him $150 cash, he would cancel my ride so my credit card would not be charged. I told him, "No, thank you." From there Fatino drove like a madman in the rain, swerving in and out of lanes, his seat almost in the reclining position.

    At one point he stopped at an intersection with oncoming traffic because he went too fast and missed the turn. I asked him multiple times to slow down but kept say…”don’t worry.” There is a difference between reckless and moving with a purpose. Fatino was unsafe to himself, me, and other drivers on the road. When we arrived at the airport, he jumped out and opened the trunk to retrieve my suitcase but my coat was on top of my suitcase but he threw it to the side and pulled my suitcase out but did not hand me my coat, he was in such a hurry and I was in such a hurry that we forgot my coat.

    I tried calling him but he was gone in seconds. I tried calling him to just return my coat to my house which was the pickup point but he did not answer any of my calls. I have been in contact with Uber customer service for DAYS but those agents kept transferring me around to other agents, without any results. It's like they take notes but do nothing about the problem. They are not American agents so their understanding of my frustration is limited because their understanding of the language is limited. This is my last ditch effort for any help. Uber needs to do the right thing and get rid of the terrible drivers. I know not all drivers are like this but a company that will not put their customers' concerns and safety a priority, will no longer get my business. Another issue I had with Fatino was the creepiness. He kept making moaning noises. Totally disgusting. Avoid UBER at all cost!!!
