Uber and Lyft charged me thousands of dollars without giving me rides. Many times I was charged by Uber and Lyft thousands of dollars without giving me rides. Uber and Lyft Drivers have no morals or ethics and left me stranded in some God awful neighborhoods while charging me for rides. Shame on Uber and Lyft!!!!

Quoted the usual Uber price of $32 from PSP to Palm Desert. Couldn’t get website to book so waited until I arrived an hour later. Was then quoted $89. (The Curb side taxi was $50.00) but used the Uber app. I was charged $118. And asked to rate my experience. Just got a royal rip off.

Two stars because Daniel was a good driver. But he talks nonstop. Told him a shorter way to go home and he kept wanting to turn when it was a straight away for about 5 miles. Not a great experience. Wanted to get some things out of my cell phone. Could not. They were almost home. I've had my mask on the whole time. He didn't. It tells me he doesn't believe in the shot and three of his relatives just passed away. Please do not send out drivers without mask when your website the state's driver and passenger bus for masks.

I've been in a lot of trouble with Uber drivers lately. They don't know where we are and they cancel our trip but we are the one to pay for the cancelation. Why doesn’t Uber pay us for the negligence? Uber charges us for wait Time because their driver couldn’t find us. Also Uber created tons of fees like tolls, Surcharges, booking fee, Municipal regulation, Linha Amarela and NY ** Car Fund. What do I have to do with the ** car Fund? That's an abuse of power. I also suggest that Uber drivers needs better training, because we're not millionaires. Most of the time, when I call for a ride I visual the price but when Uber send me the receipt it is a totally different amount. What is that?
Last week, in Brazil, the first driver confirmed ride drove away and cancelled me. The 2nd ride did the same because he did want to go to the area where I live and he never found where I was in the airport, though is easy to find. He drove in circles to end up cancelling my trip. My latest trip cost, it was $48.00 but end up cost me $64.31 because of abusive new fees that just push up prices. Like a wait time fee even though I was exactly where I told the driver. What a fee on top of charge for booking the ride. Wtf!!!!
If Uber is going to pat themselves on the back in the media for doing good, maybe people should be aware about what is really happening. I am complaint as a customer but even Uber drivers themselves have made tons of complaints against the company abuse of power. I've talked to them about this abuse and they tell me that they also suffer from the abuse of power. Some of them have not been able to "Instant Deposit" earnings on time. They call Uber operators who have give them their best idea on how to fix. No access to supervisor available, although they promises to call back but never happens. So, drivers cannot get one single person who can help them.

The first confirmed ride drove away and cancelled us. The 2nd ride was great, but we then received feedback that we had not worn a mask, which was false. Since our 2nd ride was quite pleasant, and received a good rating and tip I doubted that the comment came from him. I contacted the company, explained that we had just left a medical facility where we had been properly masked as was the nurse who was assisting us at the time. I asked that the comment be deleted from my account. They assured me no action would result and I could still use the service but would not remove the remarks. I doubt that I will use their service in the future. It appeared that the no-mask comment had come from someone we’d never heard of, not from the driver, whose name is on our receipt.

Awful support, they give the same generic message over the phone after waiting for 20 minutes or through the Uber support messages on the driver app. Background took over 70 days to clear. Got an unlawful review from a passenger for being under the insurance, account was paused for over a week with no warning. Said they did their investigation and deactivated my account and still several days have passed and no one is able to help me. They all say the same thing again and again. Looks ok on their side. If you are thinking about driving for Uber then think twice. It is unreliable.

I called an Uber in Sunrise Fl for a 3.5 mile ride. He never found the address I gave him even though is easy to find. I've driven there before. He drove in circles for an hour. He verbally assaulted me, was driving in the most reckless way veering between lanes, texting while coming to a complete stop in the middle of the road! Driving between lanes. He was verbally abusive too and ending up dropping me off in the middle of nowhere. Then he up the charge to 36.00 from an 11.00 dollar original fee for 3.5 miles. But he never got me to.my destination.

Uber has many issues. I have had to use them regularly for the past two weeks, and these are the issues I’ve encountered:
1. Their app changes the addresses entered. Every time I enter my home address, my neighbor’s address across the street will appear on my receipts. I hardly know those neighbors and have never used their address for anything. Every time I enter my work address, my drivers are directed to another nearby address. I have had to redirect all of my drivers who picked me up from work.
2. Whenever a driver has cancelled a trip, Uber charged ME a cancellation fee. One driver cancelled before arrival, of which I didn’t become aware until I checked status. I had to request another ride, which made me late for work.
3. I have been charged for a trip that I did not request, and did not take. The same driver who cancelled a ride with me before arrival, is named for this trip at a destination location that I don’t even recognize.
4. Have had to make multiple requests for refunds for driver cancellations and trips that I was billed for, but didn’t request. Even with screenshots of the transactions from my bank account and the cancelled status from the app, they still don’t refund after the first request.
5. Contacting them to resolve an issue is difficult. There is no phone number or email address for them. When an issue is reported through the app, a response comes from a ‘no reply’ email address.
6. When messaging drivers to give them critical information about location, most don’t reply.
7. The app prefills the pick-up address, often a wrong/unknown one.
8. Changing the prefilled address is a nuisance because when clicking on the address shown to type over it, it gets confirmed. It takes repeated attempts to clear that field.
Hopefully I will be free of them by the weekend. They are a huge headache!

I attempted to setup an ‘Uber For Business’ account for a new business venture I recently launched. The sign-up process was easy enough, but a few days later when I inquired on the status of my account, I was told by Uber the account was suspended and please refer to the Terms and Conditions. I asked for an explanation as to the specific violation, but the response I received was: ‘we were advised not to disclose the specific reason as to why the business account was deactivated, however, they’ve found out that the account can’t be reactivated because it doesn’t adhere with our Terms and Conditions.” The response received from Uber demonstrates a lack of transparency, professionalism and basic customer service.

This review pertains only to the Uber app. When you are booking your ride with Uber, be wary of the error message, "Oops! Something went wrong. Try again in a few moments." I tried again and again and again and Uber charged me for all (or many) of my failed attempts! It was thanks to my credit card company (shout out to Citibank/Costco) for alerting me that this was happening. Unfortunately, Citibank could not stop the bogus charges and now I have to file a billing dispute with Uber! Ugh! Buyer, beware!

Uber has twice charged me for something I didn’t ask for and getting in contact with them over an issue like this is impossible. First incident they started charging me a monthly fee for a device I didn’t ask for. I finally had my bank stop paying the monthly charge, that was a hassle. Most recent I got a text saying my driver was on the way for a scheduled pickup, I looked on the Uber app nothing showed as to me having a scheduled trip. Later a driver called asking where I was, I told him I didn’t order a ride, he canceled and charged me $29.42 for canceling a ride I didn’t order. It’s impossible to get ahold of them to straighten out an issue where they may have to refund you. Word of advice don’t ever give the cc info. Call a taxi.

If Uber is going to pat themselves on the back in the media for doing good, maybe people should be aware of whose backs they are taking money from. On Sept 20th I awoke to a news story about Uber providing discounted rides to polling stations during the Canadian election. And while this sounds all warm and fuzzy and delightful, we quickly realized who is paying for it.
My husband uses Uber very frequently to get to work, almost daily. The fare is usually about 14 bucks. This morning, he was quoted a fare of 37. 01 for the same ride to the same destination at the same time as usual. Today is also the day of the month when many young families get child tax credits from the government. Uber does this every month on this date. And while I have not received a baby bonus in about a gazillion years, I still find it disgusting that Uber also extorts money from some of their poorest customers in this way. I don't mind paying a couple extra bucks during busy times but three times the amount is simply predatory and exploitative. They call it "surge pricing". I call it a damned good way to lose customers, especially in a city that already has a cab company!

Updated on 09/22/2021: Critical scheduled pickup for 03:20 a.m. on Aug 31 for only flight - Driver failed to show - cancelled last minute with no explanation at 02:50 a.m. - forcing family to drive to airport and park - Planned trip included 15 days to help family move - and support Covid family member loss. No excuse - and response from Uber via text on Sep 22, is that they could review the case "because it was greater than 30 days out" - which is a lie. Shame on them. The cost for parking was $20/day or $300 less gas to get there. Was the driver too lazy to wake up? Uber does not care for its customers, period.
Original Review: Dear Uber Driver, On Aug 28, 2021 we successfully scheduled an Uber pick-up from our home to the John Wayne Airport. My wife and I had a critical family trip planned from Aug 31 returning Sep 14. There was a family member that had moved and there was a loss of another family member. Our trip was critical to provide family support. Our flight options were limited to an early morning flight on Aug 31 with boarding time at 06:10 a.m. as attached (2). This was the only American flight to Chicago. We had received an Uber confirmation of our pickup on Aug 28. But on the morning of scheduled pickup (Aug 31) we received a text message at 02:50 a.m. from the Uber driver stating that the 03:20 a.m. pickup was cancelled because he couldn’t accept the payment ($53.30). We had both cash and credit cards available to pay the driver, but could not reach him.
Because there was only one flight that day, we could not adjust our travel without significant hotel/flight and rental charges. We were forced to drive our POV to the airport and park there. John Wayne Airport parking alone cost us a total of $300. Although I asked for a discount, the airport does not offer any. This entire situation was outrageous for a senior, retrieved military disabled veteran on a fixed income. My thoughts were that the Uber driver did not want to get out of bed that early. He did not call, but only sent a text. Why did he only notify us 30 minutes prior to the scheduled pickup time? I am very sad that your drivers are so irresponsible. We should be reimbursed the $300 parking fee. Request that Uber stand behind its promises.

I've been driving for Uber for almost 3 years. Have not been able to "Instant Deposit" earnings for last month. Spoke to approximately 15-20 Uber operators who have each given me their best idea on how to fix. No access to supervisor although I've been told one would call me back 3 times to no avail. The problem is small and I believe I even know what it is, however I can not get one person who can help. The disconnect between drivers (I consider employees) and someone who has an iota of an idea of what is going on in a driver's world is so vast that I am considering no longer driving for Uber... I am super bummed about their inability to fix a small problem. Looks like Lyft is it from here on out...

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with Uber today. My fiancé and I forgot our masks in our hotel room. Upon entering the vehicle of the Uber driver, he requested and asked if we had masks. My fiancé responded that we did not & forgot ours but he would run to the front desk quick (1 minute) and would grab two for us and apologized. The Uber driver did not allow us to exit the car and started pulling off. He then started aggressively verbalizing that we need mask and of the reasons for it. We then told him again, before exiting the parking lot, that we could exit the car and cancel our trip. He would not allow us to exit. He verbally said with an aggressive tone “this is a general conversation. Stop talking & listen”. I did not take this well as it was an inappropriate conversation and the tone was set from the start of the trip. He then continued to harass us regarding the trip.
We made it known that we would like to exit the car immediately after he pulled out of the hotel parking lot. He sped over three lanes almost causing an accident and kicked us out of the car with inappropriate language and aggressiveness “Get out.”. We almost got hit getting out the car and then he almost hit us when he executed a UTURN while rolling down his window to scream at us. I immediately reported the entire situation to Uber support. Not only did they responded with saying that my concerns/comments are duly noted, they charged three dollars more the the fare price. The customer stopper team is the worst I’ve experienced in my lifetime. Not only does Uber support “suck”. Uber, the company, condones verbal harassment, endangerment to passengers, and aggressive driving.

Don't trust or use Uber if you absolutely must be somewhere on time! Uber never showed up to take my wife and I to the airport!! We had a recent 4am scheduled pickup to take my wife & I to the San Diego Airport to go to our son's wedding in Florida a few days ago. At 4:12am while we were waiting outside on our curb with our luggage we got a message saying "No drivers available". We FREAKED OUT as we had an airplane to catch. Uber then removed it from my Uber App like it it never happened. We couldn't get a cab in time to make the airplane so we had to drive to the airport and park there. We did not have time to go to Long Term parking as we were running late DUE TO UBER and we were forced to park in the short-term parking at $30 per day.
We barely made our airplane to Florida for the wedding. We ended up having to pay $288 for parking, $232 MORE than if Uber had picked us up like we had a $56 contract for. This had my wife in tears worrying we wouldn't catch our airplane in time. We were both panicked trying to get to the airport in time, No apologies from Uber, just a curt 'No drivers available' message 12 minutes AFTER the Uber driver was due to arrive!!! If they had told us the day before or even hours before we could have hired a cab and not had that $288 airport parking fee we wouldn't have had to pay if uber had simply done what we expected and they agreed to do! So if you absolutely need to get somewhere and get there on time, don't trust Uber!!!

When I requested an Uber the charge was $45. Apparently in small print somewhere I missed the booking fee and the uber driver took the tollway when there were many other route options. By taking the toll there were even more additional charges. My $45 trip went to $60. Then I tried to contact them which they make impossible. All contact is computerized and not personal at all. When Uber started they had great customer service. Now that they have grown, they've completely lost that hospitality. I will not use Uber any longer.

In May, 2021, I was in need of a ride to the Oakland airport - at 4:30 am. The original estimate was about $21-$25. I believe it was only 10-15 minutes prior to pickup time that I received a price of $79! Of course, having received this notice only 15 minutes prior to pickup time gave me no time at all to look at other alternatives. I had checked the previous night to get estimates of the cost when making the decision as to whether or not to use Uber. As we believed it was a max of $25, we made the decision to use Uber and never looked further with other options. So we had no choice but to take the Uber ride. I did put in a complaint shortly after arriving at the airport and Uber did give me a credit of close to $20, however, still I ended up paying over double the initial amount quoted. I tried to continue my "chat" with Uber to get further discount and they cut off my ability to chat any further with them.
Unbelievable - not a customer service friendly move for sure. I understand the whole supply vs demand issue during this pandemic. My issue is, the initial quote certainly should have reflected a price that was more in line with the final price. It is incredible to me to believe that they can quote a significantly lower price and adjust it in such short of a time frame. In the future, I will try other options as I now feel that any price I receive from Uber can be adjusted at the last minute when you have no other options. Not a very good business model.

Their prices have been ridiculously high and their excuse is it's busy and they don't have enough drivers. When the price is somewhat reasonable the driver doesn't show up and if I cancel and request another one the price will double or triple. The best is they charge me more than the shown upfront price and the explication was there was a toll fee and there was no toll on my ride. Shame on Uber.

I want people to know why they should not get a ride with Uber. If I would of known that when the ride is over they can charge your account/credit card an extra $500 they call it a surcharge. If I would of known this is possible I would NEVER have gotten a ride with UBER. I worked for Postmates. Now that the 2 have merged they too say I owe $577. Definitely unfair business practices.

I've used Uber for years but recently in Pittsburgh I ordered a car estimated for 5 minutes and as soon as I confirmed it it changed to 28 minutes.... I could walk faster to my destination so I canceled the ride. Almost immediately they disabled my account and stated that they suspected I was a minor.... I'm 72 years old! After going around and around with non English speaking geeks via email I had to send my driver's license and photo to prove I wasn't a minor. After 10 days they reactivated my account. I haven't used it since until today and now find my account has been deactivated. I've had enough.

Uber's behavior is shameful and must stop. Uber is gouging customers and using “COVID” as an excuse for riding you off. I use Uber often however now I simply can’t afford to use this ride service. This weekend I requested a ride that normally would coast between $6 and $7 dollars. With Uber’s surge gouging pricing model the cost of my one way ride went up to $37.95... This ride is less than 2 mile distance. This is completely unacceptable and I will not be taken advantage of again. Lyft and/or taxi cab pricing were still less than $10 dollars for the same ride.

I plainly do not know why the terms was violated as you stated you only reference to a dang website. That do not explain to a detail what I was being accused of doing as you say I violated terms. I did all the correct guidelines of what was asked. I worn my mask at all times, and I seen a email stating a driver whom NEVER PICKED ME UP REPORTED NOT WEARING A MASK. I tried to use again another time on same trip and booked a pick up and I had confirmed a driver who headed to pick me up cancelled on the same street I was supposed to be pick up on and they (Driver) rated I wasn't not wearing a mask. Mind you this driver didn't even see me or near my location pick up spot.
I then tried to contact support. Ha that's a laughing joke. As stated but others reports your system of support is very lacking in that department but I will a 100% make sure your service or company will never ever be used again.

My Uber account was recently hacked. I received a notification of a delivery when I had not placed an order. I tried to open my account to see what was happening, but the app only took me to the login screen. I realized quickly that I had been kicked out of the account. I knew something sketchy was going on, so I tried to reset the password to my account via the webpage, but it required an SMS code sent to a number that clearly was not mine because I never received said code. I will note, also, that I had two factor identification in place prior to this hack, which means there’s an obvious loophole.
I then checked the credit card connected to the account and there were over 600 dollars in charges from transactions that I did not make. I tried to contact Uber only to find out that they have no phone number for customer service, so you can only message them through email. I made a new Uber account to be able to message them through the app. I said, right from the beginning, that the hack happened on an account associated with a different email address. I have said this over and over, providing said email address, but every single time they assume that I am reporting the brand new account that I made solely to message them on.
It has now been over 48 hours since I've filed a complaint with Uber about this hack, and Uber has done nothing. I have been asked by five - yes, five - different agents to send photos, proof of what happened, and to explain the situation. I have sent, five times now, the same detailed information. Every single time that I send it, someone new responds asking me what is going on. Every single time I send the same info, tell them the hack happened on an account with a different email address, and every single time without fail they ask me to repeat myself.
At this point, it would be easier and probably quicker to enroll in school, obtain a computer science degree, specialize in cybersecurity, learn the ropes of hacking, and enter Uber’s system to figure out what happened to my account by myself. A rigorous career change would at least be more productive than having to repeat the same thing over and over again only to have someone new ask me to repeat it again, as if I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone.
There has been a security breach and fraud being facilitated through the Uber platform, and the response (or lack thereof) from Uber is truly ridiculous. Over 600 dollars in fraudulent charges, and Uber responds like I am merely confused about how to place an order, like we can afford to go back and forth about it until the glaciers melt. Despite numerous screenshots and explanations sent, I STILL have not received a shred of reassurance that my account has been frozen or even looked at.
My address, my phone number, and my payment information has been compromised. It's alarming, to say the least. I had my PayPal linked to my Uber account, too. I've had to change several passwords, including for the Gmail account that I used to access Uber, and I also now have to get a new credit card number and update a dozen pre-paid payments linked to my old number. It is an unbelievable hassle, and on top of that there's over 600 dollars in charges on my credit card that need to be dealt with by the credit card company.
A massive corporation like Uber needs to prioritize security, people's privacy, and fraud. The responses that I've gotten and the absolute unwillingness to investigate this situation is comical at best. The lack of customer service and communication options is fundamentally a problem with Uber as a company more than anything else. Do yourself a favour and boycott Uber. I hardly ever used the app to begin with, but now I'll definitely never use it again. Not worth it.

This "feature" is misleading. Uber confirms your ride and you get a pre-auth from your credit card. The natural assumption is to believe you have a driver locked in. Unfortunately that is not the case. I have had two experiences (both for rides to the airport) where the app responded "No Cars Available" the moment of my scheduled ride. Extremely problematic and stressful given I had a flight to catch.
App users have a reasonable assumption this feature is used to lock in a driver. However, it simply executes like a normal ride request. In fact, the only beneficial use of a "Scheduled" feature is when someone needs to ensure there is a driver available. Otherwise, there is not much benefit to it? Uber should be alerting customers that "Scheduled" does not guarantee a driver will show up.

They ignore you if you have certain questions before they try redirecting the question. Example on 5/15/19 I took a Uber ride. It cost $8.49. Paid for it by Apple Pay. Went through. I tipped $3.00. Didn’t go through but it looked like it went through so I didn’t know it didn’t go through. A week later I tried purchasing a ride pass. It wasn’t working. It just pops up saying check billing address settings.
There’s no billing address settings in the app but I assumed it was something with my card so I added my credit card in. Still the same. So I removed and put it back in. No joy so I’m message them that there was a glitch or something. Took them 12 to 20 hrs to respond but they said that I owed a outstanding amount of $3.00. "Please respond back with last 4 digits of card number you want to charge before 5:45pm" so I checked my bank account and I did owe that money. So I responded back with the info and a question why they don’t have a system in place to notify that there was a payment issue and a means to take care of it right there and then.
They answered, "Please provide more detail." So I did but what more detail they needed not sure. But they responded, "Please call Apple to see why payment didn’t go through." That’s a redirection answer. So I responded, "That’s not what I was asking. I was asking why you don’t have a notification system in to notify that there was a payment issue and a means to pay for it. Also what would I do if I was stranded at work or something."

My most recent problem with Uber I added $50.00 gift card and the cash was added however every time I attempted to get a ride it said error accepting the payment. It was very hard to navigate the app to find a way to contact customer service regarding that issue. There is no customer service number and using email customer support for my particular issue was a pain.
I finally got a email the next day. The first one said the temporary hold was lifted and I could use the account but that wasn't accurate. I continued receiving emails basically saying the same things like more information or that a hold was placed because my number was associated with another account email that I didn't recognize. Basically the emails were saying the same things but never did they come up with a solution.
Finally I sent them a screenshot of the error message and instead of resolving the issue they said there was a issue resolving my request and that I couldn't use the app at all. Which was baffling to me. So I have no desire to use their app at this point anyways because I will no longer be a customer.

We were two people with few groceries that he was taking advantage of the weather and time waiting. He said that if we won’t pay extra he’s going to cancel the trip. He was talking so rude and loud. It was very embarrassing for us. And then he makes the trip start and then when we were ready to go he changed his mind and canceled the trip. And left us helpless. And then we have to book for other Uber.
This is completely unacceptable and negligence of customer service. This is not the way to treat a person with respect to humanity. I want your organisation to talk to that uber driver and make him understand that we have paid for that service and that he should not take customer for granted. And we were not there for him to come and embarrass in public and then left us feel helpless.

UBER stated it was my error and they wanted me to use/buy an UBER gift card for the transactions. I declined and asked them to verify what BILLING ADDRESS they assumed for my cards. They refused. When I checked with my banks, they informed me the BILLING ADDRESS that UBER used was not mine but was the "pick-up" address. I then went back to UBER and told them to delete my account and to start over. There has been no response in over 48 hours.

I booked a cab in Gurugram. After reaching my destination I paid the driver (Irfan **) through GPAY but he was so fraud and cheater that he submitted the amount less and then in my Uber app it started showing pending amount when in fact I paid in full. And this is not it, I thought that since it is the driver who lied, so when I will file the complain in my help section in Uber app, they will clear my pending amount. But guess what, their service is so pathetic that they didn't understood my problem, in fact told me that they can't do anything. They even don't have customer call service where I can call. This the way they treat their customers and encourage drivers to cheat their customers.

I was quoted $16-$20 for my ride. I waited almost 5 minutes for them to match me with a driver. It was only then when nearby drivers started a bidding war with me. Drivers near me were requesting as much as $60 for a 6 mile drive. I denied them all. Until a driver was willing to take me for the quoted price. Going back home, same thing... A local driver had the audacity to ask for $78!! I was eventually re-quoted for $40-45. I was appalled!! I chose Lyft instead. And Uber had the audacity of charging me $20 for a ride I NEVER accepted. I am disputing with credit card company. Uber you SUCK!

We booked an Uber for my husband to go to the airport this morning. No one showed up, no one even called to let us know they wouldn’t be coming. Instead we had to wake up our young children very early to get him to the airport which was what we’d been trying to avoid. Now my husband is late and may miss his flight.

My boyfriend and I were traveling out of town and we used Uber and the time said the eta was 7 minutes then it went to 5 minutes then stayed on 2 minutes for almost 10 minutes then all of a sudden it switches us to another driver! We had a flight to catch so we opened the Lyft app and ordered a ride. Lyft came within 4 minutes and the time was accurate. My boyfriend tried to cancel the ride and it said it would charge him $5.25!! I was shocked because 2 minutes isn’t always two minutes.. So I messaged the driver and told him we found an alternative form of transportation because we did not want to be late for our flight and told him we can not afford to pay the 5.25 and so he said he could not cancel the ride. This was even crazier to think the driver cannot cancel but our other driver cancelled on us and they are not penalized. It’s like having the customer being punished by uber despite uber's timings being all over the place and not accurate.
We had another driver who we were waiting on and uber decided to change us to another driver and had us waiting about 15 minutes or so. What an inconvenience and what’s even worse when we cancelled uber charged us for half of the trip which was around 7.84 dollars!! I will be using Lyft from now on if no one takes care of the customers' complaints and change the way uber works.

I contacted Uber to drive me approximately 3 miles to a restaurant. They did not follow their procedure as explained and instead gave me an estimate for the ride. I thought I would be charged $11.00, but was charged $19.00. On the return trip, I contacted them again and the estimate was $35.00. The driver arrived and I explained that I had not requested the ride at $35.00 but had asked him to call me. He said he is "just the driver" and does not quote the price. He left and charged me $23.00 and I did not even have the benefit of the drive home. In all, I was charged over $60.00 for a ride to and from and restaurant and Uber will not refund me.

I strongly encourage any Uber customer to take a screenshot of each part of your transaction as you order and ride. It may be a little tedious but I'm sick of arriving at my destination and seeing an upcharge on the ride and/or the tip. If I type in that I want to authorize a tip of $10, I don't want to see $10.25 on my receipt. If Uber chooses to be greedy by giving the driver $9.75 and keeping the $0.25 for whatever reason, that's a choice Uber makes. Screenshot each part of your transaction.

I was driving in to the parking lot on of Mc Donald's on Flamingo and Eastern in Las Vegas, NV on 08/03/2020 and this Gray car drove in from the other side driving so fast she almost hit the front of my car. I had to slam on my brakes to prevent her from running right into me! She wasn't stopping... SHE REALLY NEEDED TO BE FIRST IN THE DRIVE THRU I GUESS SO I LET HER HAVE IT...
For some reason she seemed upset and NONE OF THAT EXCUSES HER DRIVING. She stared at me in her driver side view mirror as she placed her order and then she paid, drove to the next window and got her food then drove near the curb but didn't leave. I only ordered a drink so it didn't take me long before I was done and now behind her driving out of Mc Donald's making a right on Eastern from the Mc Donald's. I have my receipt... I noticed she had an UBER sticker in her window on the passenger side in the back. I tried getting around her and she kept getting in the lane in front of me. I tried one more time by getting back over in the right lane and she swerved and got into that lane in front of me. I honked my horn so long the sound could have died. THIS TO ME IS CALLED RECKLESS DRIVING.
I wasn't about to speed past her to prevent her from getting in front of me. I was waiting for a police who's normally near be to spot her. But there's never one available when you need them! By the way it would have looked, any accident would have been considered my fault. So driving slowly was my only option. So I let her play all of her games while I took pictures. Unfortunately I couldn't record her with my phone. I drove under the speed limit and then noticed she was slowing down, so I slowed down more and got over and then she got over to remain in front of me. While trying to prevent an UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT she was trying to cause one... THIS WAS RIDICULOUS. BY THIS TIME WE ARE SHARING WORDS OUT OF THE WINDOW. I couldn't hear hers and maybe she heard mine. As if I did something wrong! I had every right to be angry by her driving.
Now she's slamming on her brakes and while doing that I called the police and gave her license plate number and description. Of course they did nothing, they may call me back next week if at all. So I am sending my complaint here because that reckless driving will get her or someone else hurt very soon if she keeps that up. Too many people are dying in car accidents and there was one yesterday as well. On my way home I noticed someone had been hit and killed on my street Maryland Parkway. These drivers should honestly be held accountable for being careless and not following the rules. What makes matters worse she had a child in her back seat. Who has the time to be that way while driving other people around. Maybe her passenger was related. Who knows...I couldn't care less. She was driving recklessly and she needs to be stopped.
I couldn't continue driving behind her so I slowed down and stopped in the street since no cars were behind me and to see if she would keep going and she did. But seconds later she continued until she decided to make a right turn. It's harder to prove that it's someone else's fault if you hit them from behind! I NEED A RESPONSE FROM THE UBER SUPPORT IMMEDIATELY. With that sticker in her window, she is representing UBER so I am filing this complaint so UBER can look into this and prevent her from doing that to any one else or come up with a resolution. Because I can guarantee UBER isn't going to pay for anyone's vehicle if we hit her from the back or anywhere for that matter.
I took a picture of her and her vehicle. Of course the angle shows a clear picture of her vehicle and not her face since I remained behind her and the car was a Nissan Versa SV Dark Gray, Drivers license number Nevada **. And this was 08/03/2020 at about 5:47 pm pst. If her GPS was on then they would be able to verify what I am saying as far as her location being accurate. She was ** with short hair. Dark brown skin and looked like she was in her 50's. I do not know why she did what she did but ACCIDENTS CAUSES DEATHS SOMETIMES and too much money in damages. I need my complaint taken seriously because the next time, she may cause a serious accident since that is clearly what she wanted. I don't expect people to do better since it's COVID 19, but I do think she should have just known better... I could have had children or other people in my car as well. I didn't, but I could have! My life is just as important!

I was not informed by my driver that my rate had increased, nor given a reason why by customer service, despite several requests for a simple explanation. Misleading and unethical business practice.

I booked an Uber ride (Feb. 1, 2020) from Elizabeth NJ 08206 to Perth Amboy NJ 08861 and they showed a fare of 59.00 and I had made this trip in the past for 13.00 or a max of 21.00 depending on the hours. I changed the destination to my old address in Keasbey, NJ 08832 and I saw the price drop to 13.00 then I changed the destination to 3 blocks away from my home, and the price drop to 13.00 again. I knew something was wrong. Then I decide to take the ride and walk the rest of the 3 blocks since there is no way I can make it for 13.00 or at least 21.00 to my front door. I explained to the driver the issue, why I have to pay so a big difference between my home and 3 blocks away. The driver then drove past my house and I asked him if he can drop me since my original destination was 3 blocks away and he was driving right in front of my house. He stopped and I walk a few houses to my house. Then came the bill. $ 60.00 bucks.
I made that trip several times from the same point to my home and I never paid more than 21.00. Most of the time was 13.00. I tried to contact Uber but there is no phone, email, not anything. I called my bank and they tried to contact Uber but was unsuccessful. Then my bank canceled the order. Days after that, I tried to use my bank debit card to make online payments, and some merchants declined due that my card has been linked to some fraudulent practices or some type of scam. Yeah, thanks to Uber. My Paypal account (linked to Uber) was blocked until I sent my personal IDs because of Uber. I tried to use Uber again but they still are requesting the $ 60.00 before I can even book a ride again.
My question is, why the government allows a large company like Uber to operate and perform such an important service without any liability if their system is compromised? Who answers for them? How their customers find answers if something is wrong beyond their control? Thanks to Amazon because they never blocked my card. I use them to buy tools and supplies, and they have very good customer service (I know because I called for help before). Uber needs accountability for their inability to solve problems like mine.

I'm a 68 year old ** woman. I downloaded the UBER app in Chicago (Midway Airport) before traveling home alone to Arkansas. My travel required me to fly from Chicago Midway Airport to Dallas Love Field where I needed to connect to Dallas Ft. Worth Corporate Aviation Airport. I could not schedule the trip until I got to Dallas Love Field. I was assigned a driver (Steven) who picked me up in a black Cadillac SUV. Once in the vehicle, the driver stated my destination had not come through to him yet. About a mile or so from the airport, the driver pulled into a liquor store parking lot (4114 Mockingbird Lane), so that I could fix the problem with the app. Somehow the app cancelled the ride request, then gave me a new request with another driver (David). David called to ask where I was to be picked up. I told him I was already in another Uber vehicle. David cancelled the trip.
In the meantime Steven is telling me that if his trip is not approved, and he gets another ride he will have to take that ride. Steven made a short attempt to correct the problem on my phone. He was not successful. Another trip came in to Steven and he put me out of his car in the parking lot. It was 100+ degrees. He did not offer to take me back to the airport, nor did he assist in my getting another Uber. I was stranded with 40 minutes to make my connection in Ft. Worth. I was shaking and scared. I could not get an internet connection to request another Uber from my location, and I could not get a cab. I could not stand in the liquor store while I was attempting to get an internet signal. If it had not been for some strangers (** Couple) that had stopped at the liquor store, and the store clerk (** Man), I would have not made my connection to the only flight from Southern Airways to my destination (El Dorado, AR).
I had put $50 in the Uber Wallet, and was charged $5 for the cancellation. I don't know how to get my money back and there is no Uber in the town where I live. Needless to say, the experience was harrowing, at best. I want my money back and some sort of official apology for what could have turned out to be a very nervous and dangerous event.

Well, I get upstairs and I started to add the tip and rating.
I accidentally hit the rating and it get through without the tip. I waited a few minutes and I went back to figure out how to add the tip, to my surprise the driver charged me $52.55. I thought maybe this is an error. Then I questioned the amount. He sends a picture of the drops and he apparently splattered them all over the seat and took a picture. I will not allow someone to abuse my trust. I wrote to the Corporate office and they sided with the driver.

The DMV told me to file a police report so that is what I'm going to do. Use LYFT instead. LYFT has better rates too.

I have used Uber 4 times and never again. Three were horrible experiences and they make it almost impossible to contact Customer Service and when I asked the lady via e-mail to call me and gave her my number because I have a tear in my shoulder, she would not respond. All 3 of these bad experiences were men who tried their lack of English as an excuse. I taught Special Ed 23 yrs. Most people’s issues is that people try to use their language as an excuse for their poor behavior. So, that gives drivers excuses to play sex music where it’s talking about what a woman will do after you give her 3 shots and 5 shots. Dang, alone in a car with a stranger and he’s playing that music, drivers refusing to go towards your house and taking trips that makes the distance 3 times farther just to charge you more.
Drivers speeding and taking sharp turns. Drivers going fast in my neighborhood and not slowing down over speed bumps. Drivers telling you they can not find the emergency room entrance of the hospital and refusing to contact for another driver. Driver refusing to pull down to pick you up and making you walk when you have messaged him repeatedly saying walking is too hard and due to the trauma my body went through has now caused the nerves to no longer allow me to wear shoes. And drivers, refusing to stop and let you out because they have scared you so bad. This is just from 3 Uber trips.
The other was a very nice woman. Uber app does not allow you to pick drivers. It’s insane. So they allow their drivers to go away from your home and charge you 3 times the cost, don’t care that their drivers speed and pump breaks to throw you forward because you ask to get out of their car. Drivers taking sharp turns and going fast in neighborhoods and not slowing down over speed bumps. Drivers playing sex music. Drivers not stopping to let you out of car. Dang, yesterday the hospital sent me home on pain medication and it was scaring me because the driver kept looking at me through the rearview mirror. I prayed the whole way home for God to keep my eyes open and get me home safely. The hospital should have never put me through that and this driver was scaring me and I will never ever ever use Uber again.
Their Customer Service does not care and they have gone through so much to make it virtually impossible to contact them. Please be careful using Uber. Never use one alone especially if you are a woman and a hospital has sent you out even when you keep telling them you are way too loopy. Our country is in crisis and I no longer even want to leave my home but have to take a taxi to get the medicine filled that that the ER drs gave me a script for.

Received an Uber gift card, so I downloaded what I thought was the Uber rider app. I started to complete & realized it was the driver app. Customer Service was nice, but you can't talk to anyone, I called the 800 number. It's all done through "chat", which to me is the poorest customer service there is. To delete the driver account I would have to delete both driver and rider account (which is automatically set up with driver account??). Customer Service rep told me they can disable the driver account to keep the rider account with my current email address, otherwise I will have to use a different email address. This makes absolutely no sense to me.

I started to work for Uber in November of 2019, my first week was horrible, trying to learn how to work the app, because Uber does not help you to learn the app. Another thing when I applied to work with Uber it was a horrible experience as I had to wait 3 weeks before I was able to drive because everything had to be done the way they wanted like how I took pictures of my car, pictures of myself, pictures, of all documents and so on. In my second week, I learned a little more about the app because I had to ask other drivers, but this is where I start missing money from the Uber Visa card. I really worked my bottoms off. I was working 12 1/2 hours a day, I was so excited because I had made $845.00 that week so I cashed out my money to find out that I had no money.
I called Uber Support to complain about what had happened to my earnings, I spoke to someone that barely spoke any English, and all they could say was has your question been taking care off, I said no and this just kept going on for several minutes at the end one of the support people said, "I am sorry your card was compromised." Well, today is Tuesday, March 10th of 2020 and I have yet to receive the money they owe me plus on top of that they put the money in my tax papers so now I have to pay taxes on the money I never received. On Sunday, March 8th, 2020 I made over $160.00 dollars, once again I deposit money to the visa card. I didn't work Monday afternoon because I had gotten home late Monday morning, and I said to myself I will work Tuesday, and just rest today.
Well, Tuesday came and I go to get money out just to find out that I only had $40 dollars and some cents I said what the ** is going on. I got on the phone and called the number behind the Uber Visa card, and after explaining myself several times the only thing they told me was to call Uber support, and they could not help me out at all. So I called Uber support. I explain to them the same thing, and I was told to call Uber Visa card. I told them, "Are you joking me?" I gotten so angry that everything came out of my mouth to find out they had hanged up on me, and on top of that they send me a text for me to rate how I was taken care.
My tears just came rolling down my face. I was speechless. So I am not going to sit and wait for them. I am going to make some calls in the morning, and I am going to report this even if I have to use the last dollar I have to pay for an attorney, or find all the help I can. I will find a way, but this has to stop. This is abuse. My husband and I tried to look for the main number for Uber and we looked all over the web and we could not find a number. Please can someone help?

Poor experience with using promo. Feels like scam as the company keeps giving wrong explanations although the promo is active on the app. I have been requesting Uber support to look into it and sent several emails but same questions and wrong explanations given. Requested them to take off the promo code or honour it. Lyft is way better and more transparency in terms of promo and pricing. Don’t waste your time on using the Uber app or don’t get sucked into their promos. It’s a scam.

I'm a weekend driver with Uber and have been for 4 years. Uber requires an annual background check, which I 100% agree with. This was usually done in a day or 2 and never impeded my ability to drive. This year, they are not only taking a really long time for approval (over a week already), but it is preventing me from driving until the review is completed.
Some quick Stats:
1) My background check has been clean every year.2) With a driver rating of (4.92), I'm considered a highly rated driver.
3) I am a platinum level driver, only driving on Friday and Saturday nights.
4) I have over 4500 safe and successful trips.
I have made 9 calls and sent 10 email correspondence with the Uber driver support. My issue is still NOT resolved. I’ve been told that my background check is completed (via phone, email and the “Checkr” site, and yes that is the correct spelling). I have seen a copy of this background check on the Checkr site. It’s completely clean and the same as the last few years. They told me in 7 emails and 6 calls that it is completed and under review. I’ve requested this get expedited each time I call/email and I still don’t have access to go online. The Uber driver support told me they have sent this up 4 times already to the review group to get it expedited, and still, nothing has changed on my side for accessing the app. I have been sent the same email 6 times, and am told virtually every time I call…
“I can see that your background check provider has completed their report, but it is currently under review by the Uber team. This step can take up to 15 business days to complete the background check process. We appreciate your patience throughout this process. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for being a platinum driver!” This is so unprofessional and sad that a process like this takes this long as well as the same canned responses each time without any true correspondence with someone from UBER that is not in the support center in the Philippines. Not even a supervisor.

I traveled to Orlando last week with 3 other adults. We were picked up from the airport in a Corolla. Three adults in the back and one in the front. The ride was uneventful and we were dropped off about 1 hour later. I received an email from Uber on our 3rd day of vacation stating that they were adjusting my rate by $120.00. I was confused so I sent an email thru the help app. I was informed that I was being charged a cleaning fee of $120.00 as our driver reported we made a mess of her car. They then sent me pictures of what looked like vomit on the driver side rear floor, door and seat. I was shocked.
As I started to look up information about how to contact corporate, I noticed there were tons of complaints about drivers and a fake vomit scam so that they get paid more money. After several more emails I told them what I read and asked them how the hell can 3 adults sitting so close to each other could have thrown up on the seat and floor. I told them I had already disputed this bogus fee with my bank and I was going to contact my attorney as well. They finally agreed to and gave me back the 120.00 "cleaning fee". This was my first time ever using Uber and it will be my LAST. It's a shame people out there are so dishonest!

I’m a long time Uber user. I’ve been taking rides from home to the airport for business trips multiple times a year. I also use Uber overseas often. On my most recent ride, there was a new fee called Long Pickup fee, which applies when the driver has to drive a long distance to pick you up. According to what I read online in blogs, the fee applies after a certain distance and it adds up slowly (cents per mile). Uber refuses to explain to me how my recent ride incurred $13 of Long Pickup fee. I scheduled the ride for a later time because there were many options available within 10 minutes away and I needed the driver to arrive in 30 minutes. Fellow passengers, be aware that scheduling in advance may put you at risk of hidden fees that they refuse to explain in details.

When I try to dispute it, all they say is that this was the fare that I agreed to pay when I booked. That is completely false. But, who thinks to screenshot the fare before booking. But besides that, Uber doesn't even allow for input of the dispute. They force you to claim something like "the driver took the wrong route" before they go and review. But the driver took the correct root. The charge is just wrong - there's no way to dispute. I will never use Uber again... EVER! Thieves!!!!

This happened on 02/06/2020 - So the car I drive has been having some issues and I needed to drop it off at my local Burt Brothers. I didn't have a way to get back home so I thought I would use an Uber gift card I got from my work to help me get home. Oh, I WISH I had gone with Lyft. Issue number one - Uber's navigation decided to go out so I had to be "Siri" and guide my driver to my home (not a huge issue since it wasn't too far away). Issue number 2 - I go to give my driver a tip and rate him and again, Uber systems are down and acting crazy. Issue number 3 - For an 8.5-mile drive, I got charged $33.00 when it should have been $15.00 (thank GOD I used a gift card and not a debit card!)
Issue number 4 - WHAT COMPANY DOESN'T HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER OR AT LEAST A CHAT?!?! I had to get hold of someone (probably a robot) via Twitter!! Then when I try to communicate with them through email all I get are replies like "We apologize for the issue you’re seeing. This is a known issue and our team is actively working to resolve it. We appreciate your patience as we work on this and can provide additional details as they become available." So Uber doesn't even know WHY they're double charging their customers?! My advice? Either get Lyft, phone a friend, walk, ANYTHING but Uber.

I have only rode with Uber a couple of times and it has been one of my worse experiences. I scheduled a pick up with a driver and before exiting his vehicle I asked if he could wait on me to pick up a few items in the store, he said no problem. He said, "You will have to cancel my pick up and once you reschedule since I am already here the call will be directed to me." Not knowing any better, I did as I was instructed. Well that trip turned out to be a nightmare. I schedule another driver as instructed and got two other drivers trying to get the pick up, so the first says just cancel the pick up, well guess what. Once you cancel a pick up that's an automatic charge.
I contacted the second driver and he said, "Well once you schedule another driver it's charged and I don't have anything to do with that." The third driver said, "You will have to cancel the trip and call Uber and they will give you a credit." Well guess what. I contacted Uber and they politely give me a credit for the cancellation and then the next day reversed the charge and refuses to respond to my complaints about the situation.
What can you say other than poor service and charging customers for incorrect information giving by your drivers. As a business that does not train their driver to be on the same page, you should do the right thing and take of your customers and treat them as they matter, because pretty easy to communicate with other about your experience and the normally people don't tend to forgot. Honestly, I feel as a company that is trying to expand more and more, it doesn't take much to fail due to the lack of poor business. As many complaint that Uber have it going to be a company eventually that will fail due to poor business decisions and mistreating customers.

Obviously UBER directs their drivers to the wrong location all the time. The address is a commercial business not LONG BEACH AIRPORT.

As a university professor there is little problem dropping me at the garage structure near my office, But returning home is a terrible problem. The pickup point does not show for the Uber driver and even when talking with him or her on the phone as s/he make her way slows the process considerably. Yesterday, the driver, a nice man, was 20 minutes late as I waited in the cold, delivered me to an incorrect address, then was surprised when I gave him my home address far away because he had no record of it.
The expense was more than double what it should have been. Then adding insult to injury Uber charged me for a cancelled trip which I never made or cancelled. Trying to get to Uber to rectify these probs was wending my way through an algorithm labyrinth.

I have had rides cancel on me while I’m waiting for them to arrive. After Uber says they are en route to me. Here is where it gets really crazy. On top of that Uber charged me each time 5.00 for a cancellation fee. That the drivers canceled on me.

However, I find this so disheartening that Uber who knows it is people of all races keeping this business thriving is allowing this and topping it off with charging a 5.00 cancellation fee after you have been discriminated against.
Today I disputed all of the past charges because when you're in a rush and trying to get somewhere you tend to forget and move on but I sorted everything out and asked Uber if they would like to refund my money in full because I didn’t cancel the rides and Uber only paid for one ride when there were quite a few 7.00 rides and the drivers canceled and they refunded me 2 dollars and kept the rest.
