    Firstly Uber uses an outsourced call center to receive and take calls for their company. The employee I spoke to was a supervisor by the name of JOHN who was in the Philippines. He did not care about my concerns about my safety. They are unconsidered with their employee’s SAFETY. The driver is unaware of who they are picking up or even where they are going until the rider gets in the car. I have had questionable riders get into my vehicle and ask to be taken to areas that’s did not feel or look safe. Ubers only consider is making sure you get the rider to their destination and not how to protect its drivers from harm while driving. This company should really evaluate the safety for not only their riders but their Drivers as well.

    These companies will make a extra buck but not allow its driver to have any protection with them while operating the application. The most they give their drivers is an emergency button which calls the police in the event of an emergency. What is a button going to do if you are currently under attack? How is a button going to save me from an crazy person getting in my car and decided to attack me? How is a button going to save me if I have to drive late at night and have to take a rider to a unsafe part of town, from a person who wishes to do harm to me? UBER wants its riders to feel comfortable. What about the DRIVERS. GA law allow me the right to protect myself.

    Uber denies its drivers the legal right to be accompanied by a family member or a friend. They deny the right to allow their drivers to bear arms. They allow the rider to go where they please, invite whoever they want to share a rider, and transport whatever they please. All the while the driver is unaware and vulnerable. I am 5.5 ft and weight 120. I have 2 small children and a husband who depend on me. It will be very hard for me to fight a person. It would be very tragic if a DRIVER was hurt or placed in a compromising situation, and the only thing UBER provided is a button to call for help. Hopefully the person doing the harm is willing to wait for emergency response to arrive.

    Apparently Uber EATS in Canada doesn’t give a crap about their customers. My order was so simple, yet they managed to screw it up anyways YET AGAIN. I ordered some fries, a couple of burgers and a green tea at around 1 or 2 a.m. and everything went pretty smoothly. The driver was a very nice guy and the delivery was quite speedy. I enjoyed most of my meal until I got to this disgusting, disrespectful, sorry excuse for a Junior Chicken. Apparently someone from the McDonald’s at St Clair/Victoria Park (Toronto, Ontario) thought it would be hilarious to douse my Junior Chicken with a bunch of Chili Pepper Flakes and some strange tasting sauce.

    I’ve experienced a few issues in the past with Uber EATS regarding tardiness of delivery and even food quality and most times Uber EATS resolved the situations very professionally and even refunded me on a few occasions but after this whole experience and even SENDING IN PHOTO EVIDENCE of this malicious and disrespectful gesture. The best they could do was send me a message saying how “sorry” they were and that there is nothing they can do and I should just get in touch with the restaurant and leave feedback through the app. For all they know I could of been ALLERGIC to chili peppers and COULD HAVE SUED. Honestly I don’t really have time to deal with stupidity like this as I have more important things to worry about but this was absolutely unprofessional and uncalled for, especially as a loyal customer who has been using Uber EATS for years.

    I can’t say I’m the least bit impressed and I doubt I will be using Uber EATS much after this whole ordeal. Shame on you guys and I hope you get this sort of problem sorted out for future orders and future customers.

    After a long trip we took Uber from our airport to home. It was my fault that in gathering our things I left one small bag in the back seat. I have been trying to contact the driver/Uber since then. My first attempt to contact the driver was successful in reaching him BUT he promised to bring the bag over but hasn't shown up yet (48 hours). I have tried contacting him again through the Uber App, which is the only way I know to get in touch with him. No return calls yet. I then went back to the app and followed the "can't contact the driver" link and have reached out to Uber to become involved -- twice. No response from Uber. This is NOT what I think of when I think of customer service. The bag contains critical things like me heart/BP Medication and my passport!

    I signed up for a ride and UBER sent the driver to the destination not the pick up point. So the driver came all the way back to get me as he said it was UBER'S fault and that this happens every once in a while. Then they charged me for all the time the driver spent both ways, I sent in a complaint and they told me basically, "Too bad sorry we can not credit you." They charged me nearly 3 times what the original quote was. Thanks for reading this.

    I ordered an Uber. Price estimate was between 27-35$. I ordered Uber, and they charged me 73.00$. More than double the price estimate. There was no traffic. I took that route multiple times, at different times of the day and the maximum charge for the trip was 38-40$. Now 73.00$. I wrote to them numerous times, but they gave me silly explanation and never refunded my money. Definitely they should not charge me more than 35$.

    My Uber account was hacked and someone swiped $475 from my bank account. They used the Uber cash for UberEats and some rides. I contacted Uber and they agreed that since my bank card had been canceled that they would give me Uber cash credit, which I agreed to because I knew I would eventually use it. They only refunded me $225 and ignored my repeated attempts to explain that that wasn't the complete refund. After days of trying to resolve the issue, they closed my account entirely.

    I had both Lyft and Uber apps and when I needed to go somewhere, I would compare the prices on both. In doing this comparison one day, I saw that Uber was a lot cheaper that day (which almost never happens) by about $2 something. I jumped at it and booked my ride with Uber and was taken to my destination. I paid and thought that was it. THE NEXT DAY (I swear), Uber charged me an ADDITIONAL $2 something (just about identical to what the difference in prices between Uber and Lyft were for that distance).

    When I contacted customer support, they said, "We readjusted your rate (AFTER THE fact the following day no less) because of toll charges". I told them, "When you quote the customer a price, that price is supposed to include that already". They refused to do anything. Just because they have our credit card information, doesn't give them the right to ring it up whenever they feel like. I recommend you contact BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU to report any egregious issues you have with them and their crooked drivers at 1(703)276-0100.

    This past week I used the Uber service twice to attend a meeting at my job. Both rides from my house to the office and vice versa were two different prices than what I was initially shown before submitting the ride request. When I contacted Uber via email they stated that the prices I showed them from my bank statements weren't showing on their system. The only price they can see is the initial upfront price before I submitted the request for the ride. This is a fraudulent company and I don't recommend anybody using their services. Uber is a bunch of thieves and I believe no one is actually at the receiving end of the emails but yet just a bunch of automatic messages. Never will I be using Uber again. This company needs to be shut down.

    Most of the drivers are unprofessional. Even in summers the A/C won't be switched on and when asked, they re-confirm if we really want A/C! The most frustrating cases are where they accept the ride, don't turn up to the location, don't call, don't pick up our calls and then choose to cancel it putting the cancellation charges on us. Other transportation options are in fact becoming better where Uber is just getting worse day by day.

    In my most recent requests for an Uber Ride here in April 2019, I was quoted a price on the app, and the final charge to my card was nearly twice the amount. I was completely shocked, felt deceived, and was completely blindsided. Their advertisement stating that you will know your price before requesting your ride is not true and misleading. Additionally, I was charged a “wait fee” on these requests. How can I be charged a wait fee when I was standing at the curb when the driver pulled up? I will no longer use Uber for a ride, and will give my business to Lyft.

    The cancellation fee should change because if a driver is 20-30 minutes away I would like to cancel because I need someone closer and you can’t see how far away the driver is until you confirm the price and that’s when you see how far away the driver is to meet with and you. And in most times the cancellation fee is taken out even if you don’t meet with the driver and you cancel the fee is taking out the app show $0.00. And when you check your debit card account it show that it has been taken out so sometime needs to be done or changes to the app and service!!

    I have been a loyal customers for a few years. I take several Ubers a day spending roughly almost $ a month. I have two jobs and mistakenly put the address of the wrong job. 2 minutes into the ride I realized I was going to the wrong location. Instead of going right he went left. I told him to let me out (okay with being charged being that it was my mistake) but when I told him to stop he rode faster to the destination making it completely unsafe and dangerous being that it was also raining this morning. He left me at my destination leaving me all the way on the other side making the fare that much higher. I had to pay an additional $15 to the $7.63 I had to pay for the last one.

    Being that he was so rude and drove dangerously I asked for a full refund (of the $7.63) and was denied. They instead credited me $5 in my account which I was no longer interested in being that I refuse to give my money to a company that doesn't care about professionalism or safety of their customers. I had customer service contact me to tell me they weren't going to refund me and so I asked for my account to be deleted and she gladly walked me through it not valuing my customer service for so many years.

However, I am certain that their awesomeness is not a result of the trickle down effect. I know this because, when it comes to Uber's corporate staff, customer service does not exist; literally! Their one flaw that I've observed in every driver is directly the daily of Uber executives. That flaw is poor GPS technology. Nearly every GPS app (including Waze and Lyft) is superior to Uber.

    I was a frequent Uber customer, however after today I am so disgusted and disappointed to say the least with Uber. Long story short I typically take an Uber with my daughter when I am running late. Typically the ride is only 8.50 on average when it is raining the price goes up to about $12.50 as expected. I took an Uber this morning and I had a small spill of my coffee in the rubber carpet floor. I immediately told the driver and apologized as I was trying to put a seat belt in my daughter. He passed me one napkin and I tried to wipe it as best as possible.

    Hours pass and I get an updated receipt email that my $12.50 ride has now become $54.00 because they were charging me a $40 cleaning fee. I genuinely thought this was an error because why would anyone charge 40 dollars to clean spill coffee. I emailed Uber because you cannot speak to a person on this app and received a bunch of responses from different people defending this cleaning fee.

    Stating it was an industry cleaning standard fee and that they were not there to see the spill for themselves. I stated that I get Uber was not in the car however they should hold some loyalty to their true customers and at least try to dispute this with driver or charge less than 40 l. I have no issue paying a small cleaning fee since I know it wasn’t cool of me to spill it and leave it. I acknowledge that and felt the cleaning cost would be $5-10 at most and not $40. Uber did not take any responsibility and automatically charged my credit card the additional 40 dollars. When I asked Uber the least they could do was split cost with me they said the money was sent directly to driver. This is a lie and it was just one total deducted from account. I am warning people that Uber is an awful company and they do not hold themselves accountable. I hope this company is shut down. Sincerely, Robbed

We moved a little over a year ago so now our average ride is about 25 minutes since we aren't as close to where we go with our friends. Without a doubt, at least the driver going there or coming home makes a complaint about the drive because they would like to stay in the busy area and just do a lot of short drives. It makes for a very uncomfortable ride. I even had one complain the whole time and then make sure I knew there was now an option for tipping. I tip almost all of the time but when I am made to feel uncomfortable because the driver has to do their job and drive me home, just farther than they would like, why would I tip that driver?! We all have things about our jobs we don't like but your main job is to drive.

    Uber is convenient and fast. Cheaper than yellow cab. The platform has changed though with the nearby location pickup which is confusing at times because the location might be a couple of blocks from where you requested and the drop off time is near where you want to go even though after drop off the car drives past the location of drop off. Overall the rideshare company is great.

I enjoy that scheduling a ride is simple through a smartphone application. Once Uber detects the local drivers, via GPS, it directs the closest driver who’s available and provides an estimated time to wait, and an estimated time a arrival to your destination. Uber also allows users to estimate the cost of rides in advance. Also, Uber allows the rider to tip directly from the application and also rate the driver.

I was really upset and cancelled as per the driver's instruction and was charged a 5$ cancellation fee. I’ve been talking back and forth with Uber customer service for 4 days now and they refuse to credit me the fee even though they admit I’m right and apologized for the bad experience. Their reasoning is that too many fare adjustments were made on my account (which were warranted 'cause I was indeed overcharged on a few trips).

The rides I've enjoyed the most were the ones when myself and the driver have respected each other's privacy, acted courteously and professional. I have witnessed people trash and throw up all over a driver's car, and that's not alright. I think the thing that has begun to creep into the way I view Uber is all of its negative publicity. Why would I support an enterprise that I don't agree with? It's not like I am dependent on Uber. I can use other ridesharing apps, I can use a traditional taxi, I can even use public transportation.

They are motivated and speak to us as punters as opposed to taxi drivers who often smell and don't give a jot and often try and cheat by driving the wrong routes to bump up the fare.

    I have had to cancel 2 credit cards because of multiple & repeated fraudulent charges by "Uber Technologies". While the the credit card company reversed the charges, I'm still put through the hassle of changing everything tied to the cards. The credit card company also advised me to contact Uber to complain, but Uber has NO CONSUMER SERVICE, NO EMAIL & NO TELEPHONE NUMBER to report this - unless you sign up with Uber & create an account (giving them credit card & personal info). There is no way I'm going to do that.

    I have never used Uber, never created an account with them, never paid for an Uber ride (for me or anyone else)... in short, there is no reason for them to have my credit card info or charge me. The fact that they do not act responsibly enough to provide a mechanism to report and prevent fraud committed by their company indicates that they are willing to encourage it. In addition to all of the other problems Uber has allowed to happen to their riders, it looks as if they are now part of a larger scheme to allow financial fraud to occur.

    I decided to try Uber and get a ride from the local airport. I downloaded the app and booked my first Uber ride. I was watching my ride get closer and closer and I found out the name of the driver and type of car I was to be looking for. Once my ride arrived, I was welcomed by the driver that I was expecting except for there was another person waiting for the same Uber. I waited a long time for this Uber since it was 11 pm and snowing. Needless to say, the other person got the Uber because her name was on his phone. I even showed the guy my phone and when I ordered the ride which was before the other rider. I was livid. I ended having to find a cab and paying a ton more for a short ride to my car. I will never again support Uber or recommend Uber to anyone.

    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.

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.
