Uber is very helpful for me as I feel safe knowing that someone could track who I was riding with and where I went. So person would have to be very crazy to harm me under those circumstances. I also don’t have to have cash or give my credit card to an individual. The vehicles are much nicer than any taxi that I have ever ridden in before using Uber.

I was recently left stranded by an Uber driver who canceled my pick up when he was only 1 minute away after I had been waiting for him for 15 minutes. He gave me no explanation. The Uber app automatically reassigned me another driver, but I had to cancel this one because I no longer had time to wait for another driver who was 20 minutes away. I was going to miss my bus to the airport.
Now I have a second complaint. I cannot give feedback directly to Uber about the driver who stranded me. When I go into my account to try to register a complaint only the poor driver who was reassigned to me at the 11th hour is showing in my record. Since I canceled that ride, the Uber system won’t let me lodge a complaint because it has no connection between me and the first driver. No doubt this first driver is counting on anonymity and knows it would take a Herculean effort to lodge a complaint for what he did because he has disappeared from my app record.
Drivers who pull stunts like this for the shorter rides hurt Uber’s reputation. But, what I think is almost worse, is that there is no way to reach Uber by telephone, email or via the app to let them know what this first driver did as a representative of their business. I have tried all of those to no avail. It shows they don’t care about customer service.

I was recently rear ended by an Uber driver. I wasn't a customer or using them. The driver informed me that he didn't have insurance, so I asked to take a picture of his driver's license which turned out to just be an identification card and not a license. I tried to call Uber and the automated message hung up on me. It seems like I have to download their app in order to make any complaints or inform them of the situation. I'm trying to let them know that this guy shouldn't be a driver for them.

I have used Uber in Portland, OR, Houston and Norfolk, VA. I have found the service to be good. My best rides are when the driver gets out to find me. Sometimes at busy airports it is hard to find your Uber especially at night. The texting for the driver helps also. It was always appreciated when the driver took the luggage to the door.

I love Uber. They have me as a platinum member because I use them so much and they give you 5 dollars credit after you get 500 points which is easy. They pay attention to details like I reported someone because car was not correct and they automatically refunded me and made sure I would never be paired with them again. Honestly I will always use Uber.

I live in a small town which has typically on 3 Uber cars available which is fine.

I was using it every day and it was costing between 18 and $21 each way and then you get for people in bidding and they actually ripped me off hundreds and hundreds. I want to say thousands of dollars running my card and fighting over who was going to pick me up and yet I have not had any of my money returned are refunded. Getting through to a human being is like finding a needle in the haystack. They did not contact me back after writing a letter as well as contacting them by email and I don't appreciate all the rides that I did with them. I didn't receive one ride. All the people that I gave my share a code to 100s of friends and family not once did I get the $10 or $10 free ride or all the other things that they say it is.
It got out of control and you should be able to contact a human being when they're running your credit card and you didn't even get on and three people have your number. Very unprofessional, unethical and bull crap. Not only did they steal money from me they stole money from people are referred to them that I did not get my credit or my free ride after spending thousands over $4,000. They did it to my family and my adult children and that's where I draw the line.
And trying to fight it with certain credit card companies is a big joke. The worst one was Romano's Law Firm and the guy didn't even have shocks on his vehicle and he had every Dollar Store air freshener in the car and you couldn't roll down the window and I have a spine injury so every bump he hit I could feel. No concern as to roll down the window. And there's people that are highly sensitive to those nasty air fresheners and he had every single one you can ever imagine - hundreds of them was disturbing.

I read the Reddit forum about Uber and am very concerned about what I see. Murders, rapes, fasle charges, non-show. However, I can not determine how much of this is false. Never-the-less I am concerned about the safety and reliability of Uber drivers. My personal experiences in using 6-8 trips has been great. As a senior who drives my car only 500 miles a year, I see Uber as a great money saver. If/when I am unable to drive and/or give up my car I will definitely use Uber or Lyft.

The second there is an alternative to Uber, I will use it and never, ever look back. What you have to go through to get the app, your personal information/payment options and the experience to work is tantamount to abuse. Their technology must be designed and maintained by 7-year-olds or someone with that level of arrested development. All of a sudden, Uber starts denying my payment methods and asking me for new ones, when there is absolutely nothing that has changed and perfect financial integrity on my end. New payment methods are NOT accepted. "Customer service" is a cat chasing its tail and there is no phone-based help available(!) Unequivocally the worst internet-based service in the history of the internet, or phones for that matter. Take a taxi!!!

This was the most terrible trip I have had with Uber. This is not acceptable as an Amex platinum member I should receive top notch service as per the Amex platinum/Uber partnership program, and this was anything but that. My driver was completely lost and did not know where to go as I was only attempting to get to the airport. He says his GPS did not work and even mentioned that he hates Uber and always tells customers to choose Lyft instead. As a result I arrived at airport 25 minutes late and missed my flight. After complaint to the company for this instance, Uber did nothing except offer to refund the "extra money" that was unexpectedly charged due to the additional distance because of the driver getting lost. Listen to this Uber driver employee and use Lyft instead as I will going forward.

The driver tried to extort my then 17 yr old son for cash to bring him back. I spoke to her on the phone. She told me to order another car so she can intercept it, I said ok. She then changed her mind and kicked my son out in the middle of nowhere downtown BK. ANYTHING COULD'VE HAPPENED TO MY SON! Now I'm stuck with this bill after I paid what I owed on top of that. I've tried to resolve this many times but, to no avail. And the driver reported a bogus trip.

Please be careful when ordering from Uber Eats!!! They take no responsibility!!! They don’t work with you at all. I use both Uber and Uber Eats almost daily. I have many saved places in my phone. A friend who doesn’t have Uber asked me to order her food and I did. So when I ordered my own food I didn’t realize that I didn’t change back to my home address. I noticed this instantly and cancelled my order. Uber charged me for the order stating that I cancelled after the restaurant accepted the order!! I said, "They do that instantly, so when do I have time to cancel my order without penalty of paying for an entire meal that I didn’t receive?"
This is the second time I asked Uber for some type of compromise with my money and they won’t work with you at all. I feel that if you guys want to stay in business you should try catering to the consumer a little more. No one is going to keep returning to a company that doesn’t help them when it regards to their money. Please be careful people. One minor mistake with this company will leave you out of your hard-earned money!!!

Uber has the worst customer service ever! If you lose an item in one of their vehicles - such as your phone, they require you to LOG IN ON THE APP ON YOUR PHONE to report it - doesn't make ANY SENSE. If you lost your phone you can't use the app! I tried to log in online to report lost phone in the vehicle and their support says they need me to VERIFY MY NUMBER ON MY PHONE - which is impossible if it is the item lost in the car! It is the #1 most common lost item in Uber, yet they still haven't figured out a way to easily report or get a hold of your driver after you have exited car. I tried to contact their customer service phone number and they hung up on me. Called again and had to say I was in an accident to get anyone on the phone. Never recovered phone. Do not take UBER if your personal property matters to you, as if you forget anything in vehicle they don't care and you won't get it back.

I find ridesharing services invaluable. From a business perspective, I much prefer using ridesharing over rental cars and certainly over taxis. The convenience and cost can't be beat.

Been driving for Uber about a year now and am very unhappy with the way they conduct business. There are so many issues that I could write all day about, but needless to say their app is flawed and their customer service is a joke. They are not consistent on how much they pay and since I have so many passengers throughout the day it's near impossible to keep track of the details of every fare. But after 2000+ passengers you start to get a sense of basically how much you'll get paid for rides taking a certain amount of time going a certain distance. Uber compensates me different amounts periodically, sometimes it will be a fair amount while other times I feel very shorted, of course I've never felt overpaid... Imagine that.
If you have a problem you have to call their hotline and go through an automated system, get transferred, placed on hold, then finally reach someone who jabbers on and on with chatter tags that are basically read from a cue card that it seems like they have been instructed to repeat after every sentence. And of course ultimately they don't actually help you anyway. As a driver this means if I have a problem I have to either navigate to their FAQ, which answer NOTHING by the way, or go through this phone process which takes 15-20 minutes of my time, time that I cannot afford to waste. Lyft allows you to message or email them and they get back with you promptly!
Unfortunately for me at this time Uber ride requests dominate my area in Austin Texas, but I hear Lyft is gaining speed and if it ever gets to where I can drive for them without needing Uber I'll definitely take it. Uber your days are numbered, you've done too much damage and it does seem you are making any better decisions, it will take a while because you have grown so huge. But mark my words if you continue the way you are treating passengers and drivers you will fall... It's a mathematical certainty.

My husband and I arranged a ride to the airport with Uber. We were notified the evening before our ride that our ride had been set up. When the time for our pick up, with no driver in sight, had come and gone by not just a few minutes but by almost 30 minutes we realized we had to get ourselves to the airport in order to catch our flight. This not only caused a lot of undue stress but a whole lot of money. We had to pay for 2 days of parking at the airport and for someone to pick up our vehicle. When trying to issue a complaint to Uber about this matter, they have been unresponsive. We will NEVER trust Uber again. This has NEVER happened to us with a taxi service.

Uber's customer service is horrific and nearly impossible to use when in need of solving something quickly - or at all. The lack of responsibility that this company takes with its clients is awful and if Lyft were in Mexico, I would use it instead. As such, I will never use Uber again. Uber needs better security for its riders against theft, especially in countries that have little to punishment for crimes.
If you lose your phone, you have to reach out to Uber via their website. I got a response about 10 hours later. Uber contacted the driver who simply said that he didn't have my phone even though it was turned off within five minutes after I exited the vehicle. I called it from another line right when I realized I didn't have it. So Uber assumes no responsibility. The driver assumes no responsibility. I have to buy another phone.

I will never use Uber again. I submitted a complaint and received a $5 credit, before even hearing what my problem was. So I sent this: "I received an email yesterday regarding this and it said I received a $5 credit. I would like more than that and most importantly I would like confirmation someone looked into this man’s license. I would never want someone to go through what my friends and I went through, while trying to be safe and responsible. I have also not told anyone about how horrible this guy was and how many times I felt like my life was at risk.
The Uber was from NYC to Long Beach, NY. While going through the tunnel we never went over 20 MPH, which I thought no big deal I tend to drive slow through them too. As lights flashed the entire time and horns honked I still did not think it was bad. When we got out of the tunnel he practically stopped the car to look at his phone GPS to see where to go up ahead. This in return almost caused an accident as I turned my head to see the car behind us swerve to get into the open lane so the car behind him didn’t hit him. As we drove on the LIE he did not go over the speed of 30 MPH, and in case you aren’t familiar the speed limit is 55 MPH and has signs saying you have to go over 40 MPH.
I could see in the side view mirrors lights flashing out of control at him because not only did we not stay in the right lane, but we kept changing lanes without a blinker to notify the drivers. We would spend about 3 minutes in each lane (yes I timed it) before just moving over cutting off the cars swerving all over the place, honking their horns and flashing their lights. We told him multiple times about the speed limit and going to slow and I don’t believe he spoke any English. He made us drive in silence with the heat on blast and anytime we asked to lower it he ignored us.
Finally after what felt like an hour on the LIE (it probably was and it should have taken only an hour to get home) we started down streets that had street lights. At the first three we hit, he stopped at the green lights as if it was a stop sign. One was right after the ramp to get off the LIE where people go extremely fast and he stopped cause a car to go around us on the opposite side of the road to avoid hitting us. When we got to Merrick Road we have to make a left turn and there is a median in the middle of the east bound and west bound traffic, he not only stopped at the green light but turns left but on the wrong side of the median. We screamed at him as cars were coming at us and he had to reverse (in the middle of a very populated road) to go back and go around the median.
Now we are going down the road at 25 MPH while cars are flying by us at 50 MPH honking and trying to swerve around him because we are in the middle lane trying to make a right turn. We inform him yet again of the speed limit and if he does not exceed the minimum he could get pulled over. He continues at 20 MPH the rest of the way down Long Beach Road. While down that road, it is a straight drive up until our block which his GPS says. He then decides to switch lanes, from left to right in one shot at 20 MPH cutting off a cop car. I believe the only reason he was not pulled over was because it could have been out of jurisdiction. Our street (West Broadway) is a one lane street but he insisted on driving down it as if it was 2 lanes and was driving in the bike path. After getting dropped off we found him stopped at the green light by our house for about 10 minutes.
That ride was completely unacceptable and I regret not calling the police after we were dropped off. I never felt safe one time in this ride, and I will be looking at additional ways to report this driver to authorities and the public, whether it be by social media and reviews. I am not trying to complain, I am trying to save the lives of anyone else put in the position we were put in. Between myself, friends and colleagues I am in an Uber at a minimum of 5 times a week. I have already started telling them what happened to me and to spread the word about the experience I had and the response received from your company was a $5 credit.
I have attached his information again." The answer I received was that apparently they cannot provide a refund. So apparently they can't take care of the safety of their customers because a refund is not my number one concern. my concern was for my safety, the people I had in the car with me and the safety of others. if you are taking an Uber out of NYC PLEASE make sure you are not in a car with Harpeet, he drives a silver Elantra."

I correctly entered in the destination on the app but when the driver arrived he couldn't take me because he showed my pick up location as the destination, on his phone. So he had to leave without giving me a ride. I canceled my Uber account immediately and got Lyft, which completed my ride. Uber has no personalized customer service for their customers. It's all robotic "check item below that best describes your issue" then read the advice. THE WORST ONLINE-SERVICE COMPANY IN THE WORLD.

I requested a ride for Uber to the nail salon with a stop at Starbucks on the way for 11.59. I ended up having to cancel the stop and just go straight to the nail salon. When I checked my app, the price I was charged was 17.57. So I disputed it through chat which is apparently the only way to contact them and was told the charges were valid because I had made a change. So what y’all are telling me is by shortening the ride I increased my price by almost $6? I spoke to several different people about the issue half of which either called me the wrong or had the situation incorrectly. The end result being Uber simply ignoring my last 7 messages. I am absolutely floored by the way they treat their customers.

My account has been blocked for no reason and without warning my Uber stopped working one day, and while I have been using other platforms, I have emailed them several times, I sent them my ID and the cc they asked for, I have contacted them through the app and Twitter and they keep passing the ball to each other and don't respond my questions or emails and 3 weeks later nothing has been resolved and no answer to my emails.

I booked a ride to my grocery store (HEB in Austin). Getting there was fine. When I was ready to go home, the app malfunctioned and I could not connect to Uber to book my trip home. I had good Internet coverage (I checked) and my phone was working perfectly fine. I just kept getting a read error message across the bottom of my screen "Cannot connect to Uber." (or something similar to that). I am 77 years old suffer from Stage III COPD and back injury and typically only used transportation for the disabled. I am on oxygen and was carrying that equipment, as well as my handbag and a very heavy bag of groceries.
I had to find a bus stop - ride the bus home and then walk up a steep hill to get to my apartment. I had to walk a most a mile and today am paying a very steep price for having been left stranded. When I got home I sent a message to Uber explaining what had happened. Starting 6 hours later, I received 5 email messages one after the other, each one asking me to send a screen print of the error message to them. I wrote back explaining that the error message was no longer on my phone since 7 hours had elapsed., I continued to get the same message and responded in the same way each time. Today they asked me to book a test trip and to cancel immediately which I did. App working fine today, but I will never trust Uber again. Why would anyone.
At my age, with my health conditions, ever be able to trust Uber again. I had a $50 gift certificate given to me by my granddaughter for Christmas. I used it for 3 one way trips for a distance of 2 miles each trip and half of it is gone, but Uber refuses to refund the balance on the gift certificate to me or to my granddaughter. At no point was there any attempt to apologize or to ask what needed to happen to ever trust them again. The only way to contact them is through a form on their website - no # to call - no human being who seems to give a darn. Shabby - shabby service!!

My purse was stolen by my Uber driver. I left it in backseat around 9:30a on 2/25/19, and this guy tipped myself $27 on a $13.50 trip then did extra rides for himself using my Uber account, yep he change my pw kicking me and my daughter out of the app. How you ask, because my personal cell with app access was in his car (currently using work cell) in the purse he stole. Using my locator app I saw he went across the bridge back to NJ so it adds more proof. Then he lies to Uber rep, saying he didn’t have my bag yet when I threatened to go to the police he lies again saying he dropped it at 3 separate locations. So, if he didn’t have it as he told Uber, why claim you dropped of a bag you never had... LIES!
What’s worse is that they’re taking his word for it even though I have proof of him tipping himself, lying about dropping off my purse and more and showing my cell in NJ 25 minutes after he dropped me off and while I was communicating with Uber by phone. Calling was wasting my time since he said he didn’t have it, his word was law. I went to Uber Hub on Bartram Rd the same day and they swore up and down they’d help but I’ve heard absolutely NOTHING since reporting the incident in that office on 2/25/19! As a result of Uber not caring or helping I’ve had to pay to get all apartment locks changed, cancel all credit & debit cards, change bank account numbers, buy a new Galaxy Note, order new ID, buy another purse, miss multiple days at work Mon-Wed due to no access to funds until replacements comes which will likely make me late paying rent, and filed a police report.
So I ask you, is this really a company to do business with, and why the hell does no one care enough to help me? I’ve never given Uber a bad review because I used them so much and used to love them until riding with Joshua from Jersey on 2/25. Now if it has Uber in the name I won’t use it, even Uber Eats. And I will make it my mission to spread this situation to ANYONE who will listen which will be easy because I work for a large communications company in center city Philadelphia. Just sad?

After working for several months in an area without Uber, I returned to find the Uber had several large ‘pending charges’ on my account. As we are in the process of closing on a house, making sure our accounts are straight is critical... Yet there are the Uber charges soaking up funds without ever going into a status to dispute them. Uber rather unhelpful ‘help’ page says these charges are necessary to verify account. Normally, these charges are pennies... Not the same amount as a ride (for each of several ‘verifications’)?
Obviously, this should be a simple matter to report to Uber and have resolved, right? Nope. No recent rides means there is no method of contact. In app customer service is unavailable and literally every public available contact number leads nowhere. Even the ‘emergency contact’ numbers go nowhere, so it’s comforting to know that Uber won’t even let you report a violent assault? There is literally no way to contact Uber about a simple issue and have it resolved short of directly writing the CEO... Whose strategic vision requires his direct notification to initiate a simple customer service action? To Uber has the worst and least effective customer service I have ever encountered would. At least require them to have customer service. I hope Lyft likes the bump in business.

I have used Uber several times and had no issues until I ran into them incorrectly billing me for a ride in October 2018. I noticed that I had requested a ride to Newark airport for a colleague and they billed me the ride to Flushing, NY instead and doubled the price. I disputed the charge with my credit card company but paid them $38.00 for the ride. After that I tried to get them resolved but it is so difficult since they are clueless and have no intention to resolve the issue. Two weeks back I requested an Uber and they would not confirm the ride due to the rightfully disputed charge.
I used a different card to pay for my ride and guess what they bill my disputed charge back on my card for $77.53 while they have already been paid for in Oct for the valid amount of $38.00. Worst company to deal with to resolve any issues! So, I disputed the charge again with my other credit card company. Will never use Uber again!

I called Uber for a ride from my home to my job and before I reached my destination, my upfront fare price almost doubled. I went online the same day and requested an explanation. Of course, they couldn't explained it, so they gave me my money back. A month later, the same thing happened to me. I called Uber from O'hare airport to my home, and this time, I screenshot the upfront price because at this point, I can't trust the company due to my previous experience. Sure enough, while I was already in Uber, my upfront price changed from $28.20 to $52.22.
I reached out to Uber, they came back to say they were correct. I say no, and I sent them a picture of the screenshot showing my upfront price. But they are refusing to give me my money back. I had to file a dispute against them with my Bank. Mind you, Uber is willing to give me back 25% of "$52.22". I totally refused. Then came back to say they will give me 50% of $52.22 to which I did not agree either. They are not admitting their wrongdoing even after I sent them a proof to show my upfront price. Uber has a control of its customers bank account, they can go and make a false claim and they get to take your $$$$. I don't understand. They are willing to lose a customer over $5.00? Providing they said they will give me back $19.00 dollars, why $19? They owe me $24 and not $19 which I have yet to see in my bank account. What a shame!

Avoid Uber at all costs, if you have an issue or report of a wrongful charge on your account, forget about it, you will never see that money again. Uber customer support does not even have a number you can call! Finding the email support line is very difficult, and once you do, you won’t get a response back or even the slightest bit helpful of a response.
The driver support line is even worse, it sounds like you are speaking with someone who this is their first job ever, while it being outsourced in another country so there is a communication barrier. They will repeat the same thing over and over and over again, providing no other train of thoughts or solutions. Uber is just a rotten company.

I have been using Uber for years but after a bad experience this past Friday I think I’m done. After a two week business trip in Detroit, I arrived back to the DC area and found myself in need for a ride from Dulles Airport to my office in order to get my car and drive home (about 5 miles). I didn’t feel like waiting in line for a cab so I ordered an UberX. Not two seconds (literally two seconds) after hitting confirm my phone rang. I answered and the person on the other line identified himself as my driver and asked where I was. I was stunned to say the least but luckily I was already closing in on my walk to the pickup location. He asked where I was going and I told him the name of my company. He asked “Is that in DC?” To which I told him no, it is in Herndon just a few miles from the airport. He said ok and he’d be right there.
I hung up and again a literal two seconds went by and he cancelled the trip, I guess because it wasn’t far enough of a drive to make it worth his time. It made me mad that he did that. (I’ve heard from other Uber drivers they’re not supposed to confirm pickup based on your destination - in fact they don’t even know where you’re going until after they confirm pickup in the app.) The worst thing about this is that as soon as he did this the entire pickup confirmation disappeared. I couldn’t give him a bad review for abusing the system or even report this to Uber because it’s almost as if the whole thing never happened. No record was left at all other than the phone number he called from. But wait, it gets better.
I was mad, but still needed to ride so I confirmed another UberX. That guy didn’t cancel on me but now I wish he had. I should preface this narrative by explaining that the politics in Virginia (the state in which I was raised and currently still live) is in turmoil. Our governor, LT. Governor and our attorney general are all in trouble for either racist or sexual incidents. The driver was listening to talk radio which was fine although about 2/3 into the drive the news story was that another victim of alleged sex abuse by the Lt. Governor came up. My driver said “Can I ask you a question? Why don’t women report sex abuse claims right after they happen?” Seriously dude? I’m a woman alone in your car. Why on earth would you ask me that? I don’t know you.
It got worse from there. He ranted about his political opinion and no joke was borderline yelling at me. I was trying to be diplomatic but I finally told him that I was done talking to him. Thank God we were less than a mile from my office by that point. He dropped me off and popped the trunk without getting out to help me with my bag (which honestly I was glad about - I would have told him I can get my own bag, thanks). I was really upset about the whole thing, but the one star review is a result of how Uber handles these types of situations. I’m not even going to get into how absurd I think it is that customers are rated. I am rated for sitting in the back of car, trying to mind my own business? For real? But back to this specific complaint.
First, there is no phone number to call unless it’s an emergency. That right there should be a red flag about a company. Second, when you do finally figure out how to initiate contact through the app be warned that this communication service seems to be outsourced to another country (likely Asia, based on the names of the representatives). Culturally, I believe that makes a huge difference in how the complaints are handled. I think they’re given a script to follow, with restrictions on what form of amends they will offer. All I wanted was a refund for the $14 fare. That’s it. I felt like that was totally reasonable. Instead they gave me a $7 credit towards my next ride - no refund.
So basically in order to receive any sort of gesture of apology, I have to use their service again. The thing is that my company will reimburse me for the $14 but that isn’t the point. The driver I had was incredibly unprofessional and getting a little hostile towards the end of my ride. I think a refund for such an inexpensive fare is not a lot to ask. I went back and forth with Uber over the app and after my third attempt to get my point across I was told that my complaint had been reviewed and they were satisfied with how it was handled. Ok then. Glad you’re happy, Uber. That’s what counts in the service industry right?
I would like to add that I tend not to be an entitled person. I get things happen and life isn’t perfect. But I also think in this day and age while technology and companies seem to be advancing faster than ever before, companies should bring their A game to the table and treat their customers well. I survived before Uber and I will continue to survive once they are out of my life. I don’t care that their service is supposedly just to be an app. Once you start putting strangers together in vehicles and making insane amounts of money off of it, you become more than just an app. You are a servicer, so start being accountable.
It’s companies like this that create a more regulated atmosphere for the rest of us because they can’t just seem to operate by a best practice approach. They operate like it’s the Wild West until Uncle Sam slaps them with whatever violations and fines it can. So thanks again, Uber. Your behavior will result in even more laws for this type of service. Good job. Can’t wait to have more laws on the books.

The funny part is my girlfriend who is of a different ethnic background was approved within a week with my same car, my same insurance and a worse driving record. However I am getting the runaround for weeks with the same car and information and a much better driver record and I believe that I'm being treated this way because of my nationality. The customer service representatives for Uber played games and sent me multiple email links that took me back to the same page that did not help and I had to call four times in order to still not be active as a driver. I believe they give these Representatives too much power and they need to correct the situation before the situation corrects itself.

I could not post this without selecting an experience rating so I entered one. If I could select minus 5 stars I would. I drove Uber for over two months. I was not paid. Uber owes me over $600.00 and will not pay. When I contacted customer service they stated the money should be in my account within 72 hours. I contacted customer service when payment was not received. They stated that the banking information was not correct. Even though the banking information was already entered I added it again. Money was not received. Called customer service and they stated that the bank information was not correct. I asked to speak to a supervisor. I was told there was no supervisor.
Entered bank information again hoping for the best. When money was not received I contacted customer service. They stated that the banking information was not there. I took a screenshot of the partner's Uber banking link with my information. Sent to customer service. They responded that the banking information was not there. Again I asked for a supervisor. I was told that there is no supervisor. Through further telephone communications I again sent a screenshot showing that my information was entered properly. I have been beaten into submission. I am tired of contacting customer support and getting no resolution. I cannot understand why Uber does not have a way to escalate a problem. Uber does not need my money. But I do.

I have been driving for Uber for 4 weeks (to earn a extra money on weekends). After 3 weeks of not receiving my pay and numerous contacts to Uber partner help - I have received a customer service message that “due to security issue with my account” I must contact and reinput my banking information.” Which of course I did through the app from my iPad. The message was again that I had security issues.
Finally after speaking to an Uber support representative, they tell me the security issue due to me signing in from “several devices” and that this is not advised and I should have only been signing in from one device (my phone only). NOTHING in Uber says this and I use multiple devices to check my account information (phone, iPad and computer). Now they tell me I have to drive 1 hour away to verify my identity and they have limited hours (weekdays 11-4 pm only) in Philadelphia - when I’m 40 miles away & I work a regular full time job during the week!!! Uber - get some IT & real customer service for your drivers!!!

I paid $24.99 for a Ride Pass because it offers "Weather protection" so that you pay a consistent price for each route you take regardless of rain or time of day, or so Uber states. My route to work and back started out at $10.49 each way. After a bit Uber began charging me $4.00 more to go home from work. When the snow and cold came I was getting charged well over $20.00 one way. When I asked Uber about this they replied: "With your Ride Pass, you'll pay a consistent price for each route you take. Periods of high demand may impact the price of your trip, but we'll always give you the lowest price." This in itself is contradictory. How can you pay a consistent price for each route if the price can be jacked up at Uber's discretion? The claim of Weather protection and protection regardless of time of day is nothing more than a bogus promise by Uber and a way to scam you out of $24.99.

01/28/19. In the morning I had a fine ride to the Courthouse. In the afternoon I requested a ride back home. Ride 1: I didn’t move from where I called. After the 5 minutes wait Uber sent a cancellation message. Immediately I booked again. Ride 2: Uber message asked me to walk 2 long blocks to a different pickup location within 3 minutes. I informed that it was an impossibility because I have mobility difficulties. I walked half block on that time. A new cancellation message came. I didn’t call again. I was forced to use the reliable public transportation because I could not rely on a next call to Uber. I got NO UBER RIDE, my card had been charged $20.00 (3 times the original fee).

I've been doing Uber Eats part time now for over a year. This complaint is about Support, payment of promotions. You will get promos via text message. This last week I decided to take them up on a 3.00 extra charge for each delivery between 11 AM and 2 PM on Sunday Jan 20th. The text reads "Uber Eats: Today earn an extra 3.00 for every delivery completed between 11 AM and 2 PM " I got out there at 11 AM and received 4 delivery notices, I completed them, and ended my deliveries at 1:15 as no more calls for my services were needed. I went home and calculated my fees and was short 12.00 for the promotions.
I went to Support and got the runaround. After 9 emails today citing I didn't qualify as I had not driven during the promo hours I would not get the extra fees of 3.00 per delivery. I am considering that since each person I spoke with was foreign, using American names, that maybe the time zones played factor in all this (sarcastic humor). I even sent screenshots of my time on the road according to my Uber Dashboard and the promo sent to my phone via an Atlanta number that Support verified as being legitimate. I am very disappointed. This is not the first time they have taken my pay away after owing me.

This complaint is about the company Uber & their customer support, not a driver. I requested an Uber back in late October after a large fundraising Halloween party got out. My phone unfortunately died from the cold air while the driver was on their way, but I knew the car make/model and the estimated time so I waited since I know that even if a phone dies the trip still goes through. After waiting for a while in the cold, no Uber showed. I waited right out front looking into every car that showed, even asking if they were there for me, and didn't have any luck.
Eventually my sister had to call another Uber on her phone so we could get out of the cold. The next morning I noticed a charge, which I figured they recorded me as a no show even though I was there. Upon further investigation, it looks like the Uber driver actually gave someone else a ride and charged ME (I could see the trip route they took). The drive must have realized and reported the mistake. This then immediately deactivated my account while they looked into it. It has now been 3 MONTHS, and I am stuck in Uber customer service hell.
The only place you can talk to a live person is Twitter, and all they tell you is "we're looking into it". I submitted a customer support ticket back on the first day this all happened, and the rep I was assigned (mind you it took 2+ weeks after the deactivation to get a rep) called me only once while I was in an appointment, and since then I have spent months leaving her messages and replying to my support ticket with zero response. No one will get back to me and it is completely unprofessional that there is no live person to actually handle these claims in a legitimate way. I know people that have gotten sick in Ubers and their accounts were not deactivated, so this is ridiculous business practice. All I can say is they're just forcing people to try their competitors and like them more with this type of behavior!

If you need help, real support from Uber on their website, don't bother looking. It doesn't exist. No "Contact Us" or an email address or phone number. You do get directed to their Twitter feed where you can write in your question which is absurd on its face as I have never ever seen a company handle support in this way. And, you have to join Twitter just to do even this. I hate Twitter and find it stupid and useless which is why I used it for a few months years ago and deleted my account. And since I won't rejoin Twitter I cannot get in touch with Uber.
Their website has function problems galore in that it takes you to pages you didn't ask to go to then you can't get off of them without logging out and logging in again. My login page tells me my phone number and email are already being used on another account and can't be used again. That account happens to be mine, the only one I ever signed up with. And of course, I cannot get in touch with them because they do not give any information to allow you to do this. The drivers and cars have been good when I used them, but the company sucks and is run badly, and purposely blocks anyone from contacting them. I'll just call a taxi from now on.

Managed to solve this issue. The next issue, I attempted to purchase Uber credit, to be declined. My bank had cash in it, but refuses to accept payment. Furthermore, according to them, I still owe a $1.03 balance for some reason. Speaking of, why am I paying .03 for every dollar I give as a tip?

Everytime Uber makes an update it inconveniences its riders more and more. The update to the GPS has caused so much confusion for me and my drivers. Most of the time the address takes me to the back of the building I ask to go. Also this new Uber pool walking thing in the middle of winter is a horrible idea. The whole point of us using Uber instead of riding buses is so that we can get dropped off and picked up at our door not walk two blocks in the cold. And you shouldn't have to pay extra just to avoid walking, I've had drivers cancel either way so we were better off without that update.

As a new sign up, I was advised that once I complete 60 rides I will be given an additional $350 dollars as a bonus. This was not the case. Apparently the agent explaining the details missed to clarify that $350 dollars are guaranteed for the first 60 rides. In other words, if the total for the rides do not add up to $350 dollars, they will pay the difference.
Second and most important, Uber makes 25% of the driver's earnings, but forget to mention that they keep the full booking fees. So on one of my weekly payments, they made $ 220 dollars when I made $ 400 dollars. In reality, they have taken 45% of the total fee...and I still have to pay tax. I am no longer driving for Uber, I do not recommend for any one to drive for Uber. If Lyft is the same, then it is time for a truly professional company that look after the driver and the rider. Uber is not worth the time or the effort. It is a complete waste of time.

I’m going on day two of being an Uber driver and I hate it. Uber pays you less to do long distance drives and they don’t follow through with their promises. Before I get into that my biggest complaint is the navigation system. It’s inaccurate and very slow. They try to blame your phone service but if it were my service then my maps on my phone or the Waze app (which is what I use on the daily) would glitch out as well.
My next complaint is the map always tries to redirect you to the Sam Houston toll hwy. When I called to ask about this, I was talked over for 10 minutes and received nothing but a “we aren’t responsible for tolls”. The only tolls they will reimburse are the tolls collected going to the person's house. I don’t know about other people, but I’m doing this to get money. I already have to spend money on gas and they don’t help you with that, I don’t have $5+ to drop on tolls every trip. Last night I had about 8 different trips that wanted me to take the toll roads.
My next issue is I took a trip that said I’d get at least $9 for the trip. I drove 20 minutes to drop this lady her food off and only got $5 for the trip. Then when I contacted them they told me to screenshot every trip before I go on it and that I’m sol. My final complaint is the app promised me that my money would be sent to my bank account TODAY on the 13th. But when I contacted them they said I won’t get my money until Friday. That’s a full week away. I’m pissed because I did take a screenshot this time because I realize they are untrustworthy and that still means nothing. I wouldn’t suggest anyone do Uber. Check out DoorDash or something like that because it isn’t worth the hassle.

And for my biggest surprise it also charged me 3.30 after l canceled the same ride that my girlfriend did.
In total on a 3.30 ride l ended up paying US$14.9 which mean that UBER JUST RIPPED ME OFF US$11.6 EXTRA. That is how economic UBER IS, I imagine if l would have ordered a platinum service.

I have used Uber to get to and from places and generally have never had any issues. During certain nights, events or holidays they, as well as other companies, are known to increase the price of transport. For example, the general price to and from my house to downtown is $18 but they increased the price to $30 on New Year's of 2017-2018. That was annoying because they knew that many people would be vulnerable at 2-3 am and willing to pay that amount to get home. It was frustrating but doable, especially if you were lucky enough to find a buddy to split it with. However, this New Year's (2018-2019) Uber began adding surge charges in the beginning of events, thus I was charged about $30 to get to the event and then they had the audacity to increase the surge charge to $98 for the return trip! $98! Almost $100 to be driven 15 to 20 min. away. That is beyond ridiculous.
It resulted in hundreds of drunk adults wandering the streets after everything had closed because they literally could not afford to go home. I had strangers coming up to me and asking if I was headed in the same direction so that we could split the cost. Normally an hour or so after the event ends, the price will drop a little but at 3 am the price went from $98 to $97. I don’t know how that is legal but that is a disgusting way to take advantage of others. It was increased so drastically that it was enough to make anyone question whether they were truly sober enough to drive, even at the risk of getting a DUI. I was fortunate enough to find other means of transportation & avoid paying that absurd amount but never again will I put myself in that situation where I am relying on Uber to get home and am stuck somewhere full of drunk people after 2 am because I chose to drink therefore not take my car.

Uber is a great business idea, in theory. Employ ambitious people willing to provide a cheap taxi service using their own vehicles for those brave souls willing to get into a stranger's messy car with the expectation of getting to their destination alive and in one piece for an agreeable price. Less costly than a limo, and far better than collecting returnable cans and bottles from the roadside for those seeking easy cash income. Win-win, right? Not so fast. Without delving into the obvious, the possibility of slipping into the back seat of a serial killer or the rolling annex of a hoarder's hovel, allow me to address the drivers here, who have only recently been permitted to receive and expect a TIP from their passengers, in addition to their 70% share of the cost of an Uber ride from their (yes, brave) fares.

When you see gray heads flagging you down at the passenger pickup at the airport, and those seniors are hauling luggage, no matter how small and light, step OUT of your Camry and load those parcels into your trunk YOURSELF, instead of sitting there like an impatient camel jockey while Mr. and Mrs. GotRocks hoist their own bags. Older folks who travel have MONEY and are your prime tipping prospects. These are not drunken bar ** hailing a ride home from the club. And when you deliver those gray-haired walking wallets to their luxurious suburban homes, trot your lazy ** out of the car to unload their luggage for them. Carry it a few yards to the front door, if you have to. If you make me play bellboy on either end of my journey with my bags, you are going to not only starve for a tip but suffer a mediocre (at best) review of my Uber "experience".
I know what it is to serve the public, having put my younger self through college as a bartender. And I know enough to tip in cash when it is EARNED. Just this evening, the lady and I returned home from a very exhausting trip covering 12 hours and thousands of miles, and the fool driving for Uber sat in his car and popped the trunk in the chaotic pickup lane at JFK while we wrestled with our luggage, hoping the next car along did not smash into us while Mr. Uber driver continued to chat on his cellphone from the comfort of the driver's seat. Did I leave this lazy amateur a tip? Heck no, I did not. He was gone and out of my driveway before we even made it to the front door, and I hope he enjoys his 2-star rating. He surely earned it.

If anything goes wrong with the instant payment option, you have to have your bank account linked or you can't get paid. So if you don't have enough a bank account you're screwed and will not be paid. Their support told me this. I'm writing a review and reporting them.

Ordered food through UberEats. Driver ran away with food. Uber charges me for the food anyway stating that's their policy. Contacting customer service certifies that there isn't a concept of service, the agents only correspond via email and have kept on sending generic comments without attempting to understand what may have happened. Every correspondence is abruptly closed without any resolution. When I posted a review on the Google play store, the company immediately responds that I can contact them for assistance. When I did that the same circus started again. This is the worst customer service by any standard.

On Tuesday December 24, 2018 at about 5:37 am I opened the Uber app on my tablet and immediately confirmed a pick for $13.92 (pool). The car came by at about 5:39/5:40 am. Slowed down as I was approaching, sped off about a block, slowed down again and did a u-turn to the opposite side of the street. All this time I began running after it. I caught it at the stop light, opened the door and got in. He claimed he did not see me coming after him. This was strange, the street was empty, early morning and with my hands waving I was unseen? God bless there was the stop light that have him came to a complete stop.
He dropped me off the corner on the back of the street I was working on. When I settled down to check the app to give a rating I noticed the fare was $24.93. I have been contacting Uber and they are insisting that was the fare that showed up. From since I have been taking the Uber pool never had to paid that fare going or coming. I don’t understand what is going on at Uber. I am so disappointed because these people don’t know how to treat the few of us who have been loyal keeping them in business.

This morning I tried to order an Uber once again. At 8:15am I requested one, showed he was 10 minutes away on the app, however I can see the car moving further and further away. I try call the driver, no answer. Maybe he is dealing with a customer or unable to talk, I get it. 5 minutes pass, I try catch him again, no answer and then he proceeds to cancel my trip. Get another driver, try call him, no answer once again. 3rd time us the charm right? I request another driver, this one at least picks up, but says that he is out of the 3km pickup radius (I was approximately 5 km away), and does not see the point of driving all the way to pick me up (it's a large private residential estate, I highly doubt there are any Ubers within the 3km radius either way, but he hung up.
By now it's 8:50am, and I decide to use a competitors app, Taxify Kenya, they had a driver in the same area as the last one, he says since it's so early on a Saturday morning there should be no traffic and is at the pickup location within 10 minutes. Due to Uber I was late by 40 minutes to my destination, all because the drivers are not in the mood to do their pickups. I am very disappointed, irritated and most definitely will not be using the Uber app in Kenya as my go to taxi app any longer.

This complaint is as much for Uber as it is its insurance company, the James River Insurance Company. I was hit by an Uber driver on August 25th, 2018 in Connecticut while riding on my motorcycle. Although I suffered many injuries, I am alive and am grateful for that. What I am not grateful for is Uber's insurance company that still has not settled on a fair price for my totaled motorcycle. I had a lot taken from me that night and have had zero compassion from the insurance company that represents Uber drivers. I have made numerous phone calls and emails to James River Insurance Company without return calls or emails. It's now going on five months with no agreement on a settlement, and that is appalling.

I requested a driver to take me about 25 miles. The stated fare was $42.07...reasonable for the long distance, and I have a pass which discounts the trip afterwards. I watched on the app as the assigned car drove around about 3 miles away...then received a request to rate my trip, all within about 5 min of requesting the 25 mile trip. I figured the driver must have cancelled or something and requested a new trip. The second driver came and drove me to the requested destination. Same distance, same stated fare, no problem. I noticed later that I had been charged for both trips though. I know mistakes happen, so just messaged Uber to request that they refund the trip that did not occur.
They replied that the trip had been completed as requested...despite the fact that the driver never came within 3 miles of the requested pickup, that the trip he reported was 1 mile and the requested trip was 25 miles. I replied that it was ridiculous to believe that the 1 mile trip was 'as requested', since I had been quoted $42 for the trip, and more importantly...the driver never picked me up, so it could not have been 'completed' as requested or otherwise. Again customer service insisted that the trip was completed as requested. The third time I asserted that they could not charge me for a trip that they did not pick me up for, someone replied that 'oh, maybe someone else took the trip you requested'...which is fine. I know mistakes can happen, but I am still angry that they insisted twice that the charge was valid.
I did eventually receive a refund for what I had been charged for the non-existent trip, but still have not seen the trip returned to my pass, so am still out the $40 to use on another trip. They also do not have a good system for drivers claiming wait times...I do everything I can to tell the driver exactly where I am, and more often than not the driver will pull up a block away and on the other side of the street and just wait...of which I am charged some amount of money as a 'wait fee'. The wait fee makes sense if the driver really has to wait for the customer to arrive at the pickup point, but if I put in 123 main street and say 'I’m under the sign for the 123 Diner', and the driver stops at 150 main street and starts his meter...that is pretty unfair to me, especially if I'm standing in the cold waiting, to make sure he/she doesn't have to wait for me.

When I scheduled Uber to pick me up at 6AM and take me to the airport, the instructions I received stated that the driver would arrive between 6 and 6:10, and I would be charged every minute I was late. The driver arrived at 6am, I walk out at 6:05 only to find that the driver left!!! Luckily, I had a car and there was enough time to drive to the airport and park my car. Otherwise, I would've have missed my flight!
The SAME WEEK, I scheduled another Uber pick up. The driver was approaching my location and had stopped in the middle of the road, 3 lanes away from me! I wasn't sure if it was Uber and I could NOT see his license plate because he was facing me and had no way to verify it was Uber before jumping in the car. He rolled down his window, and I asked, "Are you Uber?" He slightly nodded so I still wasn't sure. I asked, "Are you going to drive over to me?" (I wasn't about to cross 3 lanes and hop in a car in the middle of the road. That's just common sense as it does not seem like a safe thing to do. Not to mention that I had no way to verify if it was Uber!) He then rolled his eyes and drove away. As he drove away, I saw his license plate and realized it was Uber. He then canceled my trip and I am the one who was charged!?? Really?
I finally figure out how to get a "refund" except it's a credit and NOT a refund. I am now trying to figure out how to get my money back aka REFUND! Uber makes it so difficult, one has to question whether they purposely do that in hopes that people will just give up. Potentially one million frustrated people - who "give up" trying to figure it out; after all it's "only $7", right? But multiply 1 million by $7, that's a lot of money paid to a corporation who never provided a service. Even worse, money paid to a corporation who also made the client worse off than client would have been had Uber never allowed such behavior to occur in the first place!

What I have seen is that the 100% of Indian Uber drivers as all the other taxi drivers in the country do not close their windows and use air-conditioning or heater (in winter) when they are not on a trip with their riders. The Uber drivers thus maintain a filthy interior with dusts of all kinds on all the cars along with mosquitoes freely 'roaming' inside the cars.
The Uber drivers of India are specialists of mosquitoes breeding and I've always wondered as to how these drivers are immune to this menace! Uber India did not implement a rule that ensures clean interior to the riders but charges their customers exorbitantly all the time. Uber India offers its riders the filthy cars for all in the country. Why not Uber headquarters in the U.S instruct their Indian counterpart on maintaining clean cars without mosquitoes please? The drivers of Uber Premium cars must always close their windows of their car so that the interior is always clean.

I am a regular user of Uber cabs from the moment it was introduced in Hyderabad.

I have been using Uber ride pass since September 4 2018 and for the month of November this would be 3rd time of opting the Uber ride pass services for the year 2018. Since September 2018 the Uber ride pass flat fare is made applied along with overage on 90% of my rides during September and October 2018 rides. During one such ride, the fare was calculated wrongly and extra amount was charged instead of the actual amount which was shown before confirming the ride.
On contacting the support services they have confirmed that extra was charged and reversed the entire overage amount. The fare was adjusted to the flat fare on that specific ride instead of actual amount which was shown to me before the ride. I was confused and tried analyzing the reason for reversing the overage amount and adjusting to flat fare instead of actual amount shown. I tried to contact the customer support in this regard, and tried for other rides raising that the trip fare was charged more than the applicable flat fare. I immediately got response and the extra overage amount which was collected has been reversed as Uber credits to me for a travel which was taken in the month of September 2018.
I therefore, raised concerns for all my rides taken since September 2018 till date that the Uber ride pass flat rate was not made applicable. From 04.09.2018 to 17.11.2018 all the rides I have taken and one ride on 19.11.2017 for which concern was raised have been adjusted to flat fare. The rides which were taken from 19.11.2018 are being rejected and the fare is not adjusted. My question is the fare adjusted to flat fare for the earlier taken for almost 2.5 months and why am I rejected the same benefit. On contacting the support team, they are giving a ready-made copy paste answer or recorded message sought of a thing without actually going through my concern or without trying to understand my issue.
I am fed up with the continuous message I have been sending and the robotic replies I have got. The representatives at Support are not trying to understand my concern which is very simple. If they wanted to apply the rules then they should have done the same at the time of first reversal when the ride amount was adjusted to flat fare. If that was fair enough then you should practice the same for all my travels. Is it too much to expect a simple answer to my simple question. It’s a humble request to whoever is on the top of the support system to look into my concern and provide a proper resolution to my concern.

Wrong car. Set up like a ride share in the Maryland Baltimore area. Driver not the driver in the photo in the app. Driver did not respond to his name or know my name. What the heck, Uber?!

Disgustingly poor customer service. Responses in the app seem to come from robots because I received the same response 5 TIMES to my initial inquiry and follow up responses. It seems like there are no humans that actually write back to you. I tried to get help from their support account Twitter handle but of course it was disgustingly unhelpful as well where I was told to just keep going back and forth with these robots responding in the app. I guess I’m never going to get my issues resolved which means I’m losing money. Despicable way to treat customers.

I would like for everyone to be safe for the holidays and also I wanted to share my HORRIBLE experience with Uber Atlanta Uber/Lyft Drivers United. So I was headed home from work and I rake a Uber from the train station and the Uber driver got ready turn in the neighborhood. And I told him this is the wrong neighborhood and Uber driver tells me, "I’m following the GPS" and proceed to go in the neighborhood and pulls up to a house that was also not mine. I then told him once again this is not where I live. And moral of the story I end up having to walk home and I will no longer be riding with UBER. They are unsafe and drivers don't care about your safe. I have continua to report my issue and they did nothing about us and thought a 5 dollar credit would solve the problem.

I have been using Uber for YEARS and use it often, I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars on Uber, I am DONE. Uber does not screen their drivers anymore, drivers are rude or don't speak English which is the primary language where I live which makes it hard to communicate if need be, they do not check into the quality of the cars and I know this because I had a friend who has never used Uber sign up to be a driver and was approved after I had been picked up by more than 1 car with no ac and/or had some type of mechanical problem.
The "customer service" department with their same automated messages that basically all say their driver did nothing wrong or "things happen" is more infuriating than anything to deal with. The quality of this whole company is just ridiculous. The change in the quality of service and people has become very apparent since there is no sign up fee to be a driver and literally ANYONE can now drive for Uber, luckily other ride share companies are becoming more popular and there are now more options.

I've been through so much with this app and it's only negative. I've had so much patience trying to deal with this company but nothing gets resolved except Uber taking my money. I bought $75 in Uber gift cards to get a $72 ride. They didn't allow me to use the gift cards and asked me to add a card. I followed instructions to do so. I had an active card but it kept asking me to update my billing settings. I KNOW everything was correct. For HOURS I WAITED IN THE COLD trying to figure out how to get one ride.
I was so set on using Uber because I had added the gift cards to my account and they aren't refundable. That was my biggest mistake. I tried to call. Uber has NO CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER to help at all. This is simply just a terrible business. I angrily downloaded Lyft because I didn't want to spend ANOTHER $75 on rides and got my ride within the first 5 minutes of opening the app and creating an account. After all is said and done, Uber took my money and Lyft was so simple to use. UBER IS TERRIBLE AND THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY.

I’ve been an Uber driver for over two years and despite my one star rating there are a lot of things I love about driving for Uber, and none of them have to do with the actual company. The things I like for instance meeting new people and seeing new sites have to do with industry itself and the fact that most people are generally nice.
The company continues to alter the pay system and at each step the drivers make smaller and smaller percentages. There’s never anyone to talk to unless you call their overseas call lines who have zero authority to actually help. They don’t improve their system regardless of complaints from drivers regarding flaws. Amount other things I just don’t have time to go into, they don’t correct pay mistakes in most instances that clearly call for compensation. All in all, the idea of ridesharing is great and the most greedy people have cornered the market and clearly couldn’t care less for the drivers who make their business possible.

She continued to drive around for 15 minutes instead of going around the block. As a result I missed my bus home for the holidays because she also drove lost and ignored the route that she was supposed to take and it kept rerouting her. Uber's response? Should have canceled when she drove past. Excuse me? Cancel and gets charge her driving and Uber's GPS?

This was the first time that I was using the Uber app. I attempted to set up a pick up for a future date to go to the airport. 5 over drivers showed up. One of them charge me a cancellation fee. One of them charge me for the trip to the airport that I never took. Once I realize that they were showing up I immediately texted the drivers and told them this was a mistake. I wanted it for a future date. They said no problem. However they still showed up and they still charge me. Do not use Uber. They are Crooks.

Why ask me to select photos of cars to prove that I am not a bot if I can only ever be talking to one on Uber's end? I switched carriers and got a new phone with a new number, which rendered me unable to sign into Uber, because I had no access to the previous phone number for verification codes. I learned there is only one way to reach out to Uber in such situation, through one email link on their website. I was not able to call them as they have made themselves unavailable to that for riders and I could not initiate a chat session with their support because I could not sign in at all, whether the app or the website.
I was provided with answers irrelevant to the issue I wrote about. It became apparent I was dealing with artificial intelligence and no human being read about my issue. I had to send multiple emails trying to reformulate the same thing and I was facing a Berlin wall. I've sent the screenshot from my phone of the new number their bot was asking me for 3 times to no avail, it found a perfectly normal screenshot from my phone not fitting their standards. After 2 days of an exchange I had enough. I finally asked for my Uber account to be deleted. This is only then when a human bothered to read a thing I wrote. This is not just unworkable, this is completely unacceptable and takes the crown for the worst experience with any company I have ever had in my not a young life. It's not the issue I had, it's how I was treated in my attempt to reach out about the issue. I am still speechless, which is how Uber made me feel while dealing with them.

I've read many of the positive reviews and while I have had great drivers with Uber I've also had very bad drivers. It they are bad drivers and you think you can do something to get them removed from Uber think again. That's not going to happen. Probably the worst situation is lack of language skills with Uber drivers around NYC. Here is a case in point. I'm standing in pouring rain. Call an Uber says it will be 5 minutes. 10 minutes later I get a call from the Uber driver in serious broken English which took me about 3 times of asking "What are you saying?"
Finally I figure out he doesn't know where I am. I tell him the cross streets but he doesn't under "one hundred and sixty third street" so I try "1,6,3 street" after about 10 times of saying this over and over he finds us. Then he charges us for waiting over 2 minutes. REALLY? Outrageous that Uber doesn't even make sure people understand the language(s) used in each specific country or at least hires people that realize their incompetence isn't rewarded by charging the customer more.

This evening I placed an order with Swiss Chalet. Within seconds of submitting my order I realize my business address was selected instead of my home address. I hit the cancel button and my order was canceled instantly. This all happened within less than 10 seconds of confirming my order. I went back into Uber Eats and tried to select a Swiss Chalet with my home address but the restaurant did not come up. Assuming my order was canceled I went on SkipTheDishes and was able to place an order from a different location that was closer to my house. I then looked at my Uber Eats app and realized that they are not refunding my money for my order as they said the restaurant had already begun making the food.
Is it my fault that when you place an order it’s instant but I assume cancellations take longer. There is no way the food could’ve been prepared in the second between ordering it and canceling it. I assume cancellations are delayed by Uber as there’s no way the food could’ve been prepared in the seconds between ordering it and canceling it. It took me so long to get a hold of customer service representatives at Uber. I was transferred from one department to another that I had finished eating my food that had arrive from SkipTheDishes before I was finally told no they will not be refunding my money.
The manager at Swiss Chalet on Cross was very good. He has given me a credit to cover the two meals that Uber would not refund. That Uber customer service representative who would not give her name was involved in a conference call with the manager of the Swiss Chalet who told her it was OK to give me back my money but she still refused. I have been using Uber Eats and Uber for many years now and have never cancel an order or lodged a complaint this is pissing me off.

That was always applicable to Pool. You can't just change rules. You need to change the actual promo. I know 2 people who still have it applicable to Pool. After going back and forth for almost a week, now my messages go unanswered. Not even the generic message they send. Straight ignored.

Yesterday I took 2 Uber, like I typically (if not daily) use. On my uber ride home, everything seemed normal. I had a nice chat with my driver as he dropped me off from a 10 min ride. Hours after, I see my Paypal and Credit card statements, and realize Uber has charged me $150 for a "Cleaning Fee". They are suggesting that I made a mess to my drivers car. Apparently, the driver sent them a generic picture of a wet at and charge me $150. Mind you, this extra charge/modification was made some hours after my ride was completed.
This is COMPLETELY FALSE. UBER hasn't been helpful to me at all. They are just flat out cleaning their hands of any involvement and taking the generic picture that was submitted (which could have been taken anywhere) and saying that "THAT IS THAT". How am I, as a rider, protected from false driver claims? How are they checking the veracity of these driver claims? I feel that this was an assault! In no moment did the driver or anybody talk to me, the customer, about any situation. Of course they wouldn't since NOTHING happened. Instead I are up to a rude and expensive charge! I do think that situations may arise to a "Cleaning" charge policy. But there has to be a better way to deal with both sides of the exchange. I sincerely believe that the drivers are taking advantage of a "Cleaning Fee" that is easy to take advantage of. I hope this issue can get resolved in my case and, moreover, in Uber's manner of conducting business.
