I've been using Uber for years with no issue. About 6 months ago I started receiving an error message saying 'something went wrong' and could get past the ride search without this error. I contacted customer service via their website form (since you can't email or call anyone to explain your situation). Uber support could not figure out the issue. After 3 weeks of back and forth with the support staff, I had them delete my account and was told I could sign-up with the same email after 30 days. I've since downloaded the app again and cannot sign up using my email or phone number as Uber says it is already in use.
It absolutely amazes me how little help their support staff was and disappointing that they couldn't figure out a simple error message, let alone the deletion or unlocking of an account. Just another example of the ineffectiveness of email support. You would think they would at least have the ability to call you and discuss the issue. Who knows... MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T WANT MY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF BUSINESS PER YEAR! Worst Support Staff I've Ever Experienced.

The most cunning app I have found so far. I took an Uber lets on Friday. It cost me 34.00 And then next day I requested for Uber the app says I have pending transaction even though I had money on my account. I requested for Lyft. I was able to reach my destination. Spoiler alert get your ** straight Uber. Call me **.

Riccardo, Honda Civic, license plate ** in Los Angeles was to pick me up at LAX. Waited only 5 minutes and he texted me to confirm where I was going. He said he would be there in a minute. He pulls up 20 ft from me, and as I walk out from curb he just takes off. I texted him saying, "Where are you going?" He said, "I don't want to take you" and then charged me a $5 cancellation fee despite he's the one that cancelled it at the last second. Riccardo you're a jerk. Your Uber profile states you drive because "Need clients to support myself and loved ones." Such baloney ya loser.

My initial issue with Uber started back in August 2018. My first attempt at opening an account was on August 2nd after attending a concert with my friend. Keep in mind, this was the FIRST time I have ever opened (or at least tried to open) an Uber account. After I provided the necessary information, I was given a big red error message saying that my account had been disabled. How my account had been disabled even though I never opened an account is beyond me. At any rate, I figured I'd go to the website they provided to reactivate my account. As I'm trying to do that, the request wasn't going through. After multiple attempts I gave up, and I had my friend download it and we were able to get home.
On 10/26/18, my friends and I went out to a Halloween party and upon trying to get home, I remembered that my attempts to reactivate the account I never even opened weren't successful. At that point, I input my husband's information and again, no success. The next morning, I tried yet again to "reactivate" my account. I was told to input my email address (which was what prompted the first warning of a disabled account, so apparently it's already in the system), write a detailed explanation as to the issue at hand, and then follow the instructions sent to my email once I receive them.
A few minutes later, I received the aforementioned email and proceeded to explain (again) in detail, with screenshots (as they asked), of the issue at hand. And so, I went ahead and did as the email requested, and after hitting "Send," I get an email back, within seconds, that the email I am replying to them from is not the same email I initially used to submit my account reactivation request. I thought to myself, "Oh, maybe there was a glitch. Let me try again." So, I tried again, and again, and again, for a total of 4 tries, and each time, I got an email that my request cannot be processed because, "[We] received this email from a different email address than the one you initially used to contact us." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! I replied back to their email that they sent to MY EMAIL, and yet they're replying with that automated reply. If the email I replied back with isn't in your system, why am I not allowed to open a new account??
The most frustrating part about all of this is that they don't even provide a direct number to call Customer Service; they use this email/authentication process to not help customers as much as possible. All I know is that I will never use Uber again; not for myself, and not when I'm out with friends. I will happily be using Lyft from now as they've provided me with far better customer service than Uber has.

I had been using UBER since 2014, and had been happy with the services until the beginning of 2018. In the beginning of 2018, I would try to request a ride through the UBER app, but for some reason, the request would get denied and there was no explanation at all on the app. After months of trying this, I reached out to UBER a few times through my account and through their Facebook page. When they responded via their Facebook page, they stated that they will send an email to me to my email address. When they sent their email to me, it stated that my UBER account was suspended, but did not state the reason behind it nor did they state the time frame of the suspension. I was never made aware of the suspension until this email was sent to me.
I replied to the email asking why my account was suspended and what caused for my account to be suspended considering that I had not used my UBER app for several months. No one replied to my email. I reached out to them several times regarding the status of my account and no response was what I received. UBER is a horrible rideshare who has no compassion and provides horrible customer service to all of their customers. They also do not have effective ways of communication and they are horrible at communication. If you want to utilize a rideshare, DO NOT EVER USE UBER!! They will ** you and I am very serious about this!

Please be careful when using the Uber app. I have had to cancel the second debit card and am still waiting for Uber to refund my account. I found several fraudulent charges. Not only has this happened to me but it has happened to my daughter as well. I will remove the Uber app from my phone as it is apparent that their security measures are nil and that the customers are vulnerable to having their card numbers used for other rides. Since there is not a human being you can speak to and communication is only through emails this is extremely frustrating. I have used other ride apps and Uber is the only one I have had this issue with.

After my husband and I spent 50$ on a trip in July and got a receipt for said trip I pretty much forgot about it until a few days ago (October 27th) when PayPal notified us about 50$ coming out of our account from Uber - we panicked, thought there was some kind of theft going on and an hour later got an email from Uber explaining that, somehow even though we have a receipt we didn’t pay them and 4 months later, without warning they were taking 50$ from us. I remember this money leaving my account because it was a high cost ride, but seriously at best I’m misremembering and only thinking of the official receipt I got from Uber in which case they should write off their mistake or at worst they are double charging me.
I am actually a pretty loyal customer BUT in my case they are losing a customer, it’s not just the 50$ which is coming out of my account at an inconvenient time, it’s the entire way they handled it... offering a small discount on the next few rides. RIDICULOUS. I’ve had carried experiences with drivers and I’ve used Uber in several states, one or two negative experiences with drivers wouldn’t deter me, but this is a reflection of the entire company and I am disgusted.

I usually take the bus or train to the airport but Thursday morning Uber Express Pool cost only $5 more than my usual bus or train so I decided to go for that. First thing is that Express Pool seems to make you wait 5 minutes before connecting you with a driver. When it did connect me after 5 minutes it told me to walk a block to a nearby corner and the driver would be there in 4 minutes. 4 minutes became 9 minutes, then 11, then 16 and it became clear from the map that the driver was heading to the airport without me.
I canceled but now the only way I was going to get to the airport in time was by full-priced UberX (costing me $15 additional). That driver told me there was a problem with the Uber software that morning. I reported this to Uber and they acknowledged a problem and said they would investigate. But no credit. All I asked for was a $10 credit towards a future ride. I use Uber for hundreds of dollars a year and my boss uses Uber for tens of thousands of dollars a year. I’m switching both of us to Lyft. And American Express has credited my account for the $15.01 “overcharge”.

The Uber driver broke my luggage when he loaded and unloaded it into the trunk. I was trying to put the handle down to separate the luggage and he said he had a better way not separating them. When he took it out at the drop off he handed me a piece that broke and said casually “this came off.” The arena to engage the pull up handle release was broken.
I contacted Uber and they said sorry and to send pictures. I did and they said, "Sorry Uber is UNABLE to provide compensation for damages of this nature..." Huh??? Why ask for pictures and act like resolutions were being considered? Oh yeah they said they were going to review the driver's future with the company. LOL, right. I bet he’s still driving with no problem and I have to get new luggage. Uber doesn’t even have complaint category to allow you to report other issues than the specific information they want. "Sorry Uber is unable to provide compensation for damages of this nature..." Huh... Nothing to show good faith, compassion, business savvy? This sucks! And I am truly disappointed with this company policies to resolve this level of customer negative experience.

Never again will I use Uber. While in Vienna, Austria we took an Uber to the city center from a Marriott. The return trip from the city center was a disaster because the driver (Suzana) took us to the wrong Marriott and would not take us to the correct Marriott. She made all 5 of us leave the vehicle. We are 5 women, all 70 years or older, at 10:30 at night, in a foreign city, in a dark and isolated area. We had to get a taxi to return to the correct Marriott. Personal safety is not a concern to Uber and that in itself is a crime.

I ordered an Uber ride today going from Lafayette Street and Worth Street in lower Manhattan and going to New York Pennsylvania Station. I was instructed to meet the driver at the corner. After waiting for some time my mobile phone alerted me that the driver canceled. I then ordered another car and it said that the car would arrive in 8 minutes. After waiting about 20 minutes there was "NO CALL and NO SHOW". I found myself having to take the subway of which I was trying to avoid.
The whole "NOT SHOWING UP" situation turned out to be very frustrating. Along with that I am sure I was charged a penalty for both rides that was not taken. Although I enjoy the convenience of UBER however it doesn't seem to be as reliable as I thought it would be. This is being sent merely as a notification of what transpired. Thank you in advance and I hope that this situation doesn't happen to others going forward.

I urge you, do not use Uber. They are well known but as you use them please be sure to look closely at what they are charging and when they are charging. I strongly emphasize on the when. They charged me on a ride I never used even after I said they are not authorized to. I have record of the trip history as canceled just 2 seconds of calling for a ride and they blatantly ignored it. Never addressed that this was an unauthorized charged. 90 days after this trip, I was sent an email 3 days ago from them stating they will charge me because their system made a mistake. Shortly after this, I figured out that their loophole is to close the account 30 days after your trip so you cannot dispute it then send a notification 90 days later saying their system made a mistake to a ride that will be charged 14 days later.
When I tried to reach out they said they can't do anything since the account is closed but send me an email that they are going to take money from my account. Taking out a payment for a service that was never used is what we call theft. They have zero customer service and it's very difficult to get a straight answer as they kept sending me the run around and not actually speaking to a representative but getting automated like messages not related to my concern. I sent about 6-8 emails asking for clarity but they kept sending automated emails saying they cannot change their policy like 4x in a row which was incredibly insulting.
How is this legal? It makes me think how many others are they doing this to and taking money on the low from hard working people, claiming that their policy is untouchable and cannot be looked into based on the account is closed after 30 days. They are not customer oriented all, they are very dishonest and nasty. Please check your statements and not allow them to steal no matter how small the amount is.

I was a first time user yesterday, using a Samsung 7 Android and the Uber app, which was set up a week ago, in order to establish an account. It was around 6 pm and needed a ride to the hospital, was attempting to schedule a 6:30 am pickup the following morning. The app appeared to provide a 'Clock' to schedule, which I used, but prior to confirming there was no indication that the time would be 6:30 am. Thinking it was a screen update issue, proceeded and the time reflected 12:50. There is no way to edit, so I cancelled immediately and tried again, paying careful attention and again I ended up with 12:50, so cancelled that and had my Daughter add me to the 'Family' option, which worked out from her end.
Today I get charged twice, $5 each for the 12:50 time, I did use the app to refund, doubt much will happen however because there is nothing end user/customer friendly regards Uber. This is the close to have ever felt like being part of a herd of cattle, use it & no responsibility is taken by Uber. Customers be aware this company is a one way street, you as a customer have no reasonable means to deal with a legitimate app issue. It was not the driver's fault, though I would be curious who gets the $10 for no service and it was not my fault the app failed to process the schedule request.

I'm going to share a story about why I will never use Uber again. A month ago, my Uber account was hacked. In fact, AMEX confirmed to me that they had SEVERAL people calling in to say their Uber accounts had been hacked that week. Nothing on the media - strange? Within a 4 day window, 118 rides were charged to my credit card in USD - each totaling over $120+ CAD... Resulting in $8,200 of wrongful charges to my AMEX (thankfully I have fraud protection on my CC, so it was on Uber's end to stop the charges). Even though I alerted Uber immediately when it happened, it took them 4 DAYS to STOP the charges from being incurred/charged to my card.
Then - when it came to reimbursements... they were a disaster. It took them 2 weeks - and countless times of me following up every day (each time being passed around - WITHIN the SAME chat - from person to person, who had to keep "looking" into it), countless times of me spending wayyy too much of MY time providing them with every detail - over and over - for 118 transactions (because apparently, they aren't able to review past chat or ticket history?) - before they FINALLY issued refunds.
EXCEPT - they only issued refunds for the $5-$7 base fare amounts, not the $99 USD tips the hacker had added to each ride. This means they still owed me upwards of $7000+ CAD. More CONSTANT follow ups from my end - and they only respond when I follow up numerous times and threaten further action. Last week - they finally issue me a refund for the remaining THOUSANDS they owe me... But the problem is - because of the exchange rate differences (and the amount of time they took to do it) - now the amount I receive back to my account in CAD funds is about $100 less than was charged to me. Meaning they still owe me $100.
I'm exhausted at this point and just want what should be rightfully returned to me. I tell them they can even make it in the form of ride credits - it's simply not right for me to incur this charge. Back to customer service, another series of runarounds - finally to be told that they can't do anything about it. Really, Uber? I used to take Uber several times a week, as well as order from Uber Eats all the time. This is the WORST handling of customer service I have EVER experienced. I was already on the fence about using them, with all of the ethics issues they have - but now? I'm DONE. My partner, son and closest friends are done. Lyft - you've just won a bunch of new clients. I hope those that read this will feel inspired to move on from their ** "service" and choose a better one (better yet - walk/ride a bike/etc!). Now, time for a glass of wine.

A short while ago my social media was hacked, and it expanded into many of my accounts (Uber being one of them). I then went on to delete my account but Uber has a policy of leaving the account open for 30 days after for possible reactivation. This led to the hacker reopening my account and using my credit card. I have since had to change all my cards. After trying to find a number to call (which they do not offer for riders) I emailed them to try and get my account deleted immediately. After 3-4 emails back and forth with them all they have done is "refund my money" (which they said was completed, to a card that is no longer valid) and mark my account for deletion in 30 days (allowing that individual to open my account at their leisure). I would not recommend this service to anyone if they value their privacy.

I have been using UberX twice a week, every week since July 2, 2018.

Every Monday and Friday exactly at the same time and the same route. Every time Uber charges me different fare, not even two times were the same or even close. Last week they decided to charge me extra money three days after my trip to the airport for unknown and unexplained reason. Uber thinks they can charge you anytime because they have your credit card information. It’s completely a rip off and totally inconsistent charges for the same trips at the same time. I decided to cancel my Uber account and use regular taxis or Lyft; no more Uber anymore.

Uber needs to understand that their cab pooling service is very time consuming for passengers. The drivers go even 1-2 kms off destination route to pick up and drop other pool riders. Kindly understand, this is very time consuming and we don't reach our destination early. Not like the fares are super-low that we have to bear this kind of torturous service. It would be awesome if Uber pool services are far more efficient, in the sense, each following pick up should not be of 5-8 mins of difference in terms of distance. In this way, more people will use pool services and add less to traffic jams. Uber should not just focus on making money but also contribute to lesser vehicles on roads which is very necessary in cities like Bangalore which is overflowing with traffic. Kindly do make an impact by bettering pool services and reducing cab fares.

We ordered an UBER 12 hrs. ahead of time for a trip to the airport. We were ready, packed and just waiting for the scheduled pickup (which UBER texted). Ten minutes before our scheduled pickup we received a text stating that they were canceling due to our VISA card being expired. We DO NOT travel with expired credit cards. We did check our card and we had TWO years before expiration. Since UBER canceled, I started from scratched, ordered an UBER with the same card and it was processed (our driver was great, not his fault). We did make our flight but was very fast paced and very stressful. Maybe we need to order an UBER 24/48 hrs. ahead of time and if UBER needs to cancel for whatever reason, maybe they will give us the courtesy to text us with sufficient time.

After many attempts explaining my situation, it became apparent that Uber has among the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Many contacts with Uber regarding this issue, here was my final attempt to receive fairness from this company. Actually my final attempt was today, Oct. 15, 2018 where I was advised that my claim is too old, their final excuse to keep my money. I began this process within a week of the trip. Here's my story...
On April 20th I arrived at Miami International Airport (MIA) after a trip. I opened my Uber app and confirmed the door at Arrivals where I should be picked up. The app did not ask me my destination nor did it indicate my destination to me. My driver arrived and I realized that he thought I wanted to go to Sarasota/Bradenton Int'l Airport, which I did not and told him I wanted to go home nearby.
The driver then gave me his other phone and asked me to enter the address into the navigational app, which I did. The driver then drove me to my home at the Four Ambassadors on Brickell Bay Drive in Miami. Subsequently, I received an email that erroneously stated my trip was over 2 hours long and 138 miles. I was billed over $174 for a trip that usually costs around $20. The app seems to have saved my previous destination that I entered a week earlier.
One week earlier I was visiting the Sarasota area and considered using Uber to go to the airport so I opened up the Uber app and entered my desired location but decided not to use the Uber service for that trip. The app quoted me a price of about $40 for that trip that I did not take. I exited the Uber app as usual. Now I'm aware that this overcharge is a result of entering a location previously but not using the Uber service. I was not quoted a price for my trip from MIA to my home and I was unaware of the problem with the app.
I wonder if my driver was aware of this situation and exploited my ignorance. Please help me resolve this issue. I am not a wealthy person and this overcharge is causing me to have problems paying my other bills. Thank you for your help. Today, I believe the driver was aware that I'd be overcharged and he'd have a good night at my expense. I also believe that Uber never intended to understand the situation nor refund my money should their driver be at fault. I've discontinued my relationship with Uber shortly after this trip when it became apparent that their business practices are not acceptable. Tell a friend...

I can confirm that no cancellation fee was charged on this trip request. If you were referring to a different trip, please let us know." Well that was nice of them. Then (obviously a form letter since I did not pay anything): "We understand your concern. We know this is not the news you were hoping to hear, but we will not be able to refund this fare due to it not being within our standards. Thank you." So, Uber has no policy if no one shows up after an advance booking? Won't be doing that again. Lyft next time.

First and foremost there is no phone number to contact Uber. Is that legal? Second of all, I have used Uber about 20 times. Great idea but what they do not disclose is that on top of the charge that you pay when you schedule a ride they add an additional charge usually under a dollar. For WHAT? Example: I just scheduled two rides, both for a friend about 30 minutes apart. The first ride was 14.67, the second ride was 15.37. I checked my account and they charged me .40 for no apparent reason and .12 for the second ride. They do not tell you what it is for but it is an unauthorized withdrawal. Pass this information on. How long will customers allow ourselves to be ripped off? It shows how absolutely lazy we have all become to even allow these companies to continue to rob us.

I have a disability which limits my walking. I can't drive due to severe nerve damage and uncontrollable reflexes. The closest store to me is a Family Dollar which is .02 miles from my house. The cost for me to Uber there is $6.50-$7.50. Along with all other companies promising cheaper pricing to make conveniences more affordable is yet another lie. After putting Taxi Cab Services out of business, rates skyrocketed. I can't say how so very disappointed I am with Uber. I have an upcoming surgery which I pray will be a success. I would love to be an advocate for anyone having to utilize transportation services due to no available bus routes so they may travel when needed at a fair price. I use to take Uber to work, the last two years I've paid a private driver to transport me to work, which is cheaper than Uber (12.4) miles 5 days a week. I haven't been able to work in the last 27 days and would appreciate the use of affordable transportation.

Well, I went to Lax from end of the el toro road which it was 54 miles and 1 hour and 8 minutes. When I called Uber to adjust the trip at the first he doesn't accept that and he said everything calculate right but when I prove that I am right he said, "Yes you are right" and instead of 50.17mile * 0.87per = 43.45$ 62.32 time * 0.1125= 7.01$. And also I had long pick up fee of 5.06$. So 43.45$+7.01$+5.06=(55.72$). But when they make a mistake to calculate the ride and also the support accept that on the recording line. 53.80$Miles * 0.87$ = 46.806 $ 68 minutes * 0.1125$ = 7.65 $. And also I had long pick up fee of 5.06 $. So 46.806$ *+ 7.65$ + 5.06$ =59.516 $.
Until now everything was ok. He accept everything and but suddenly he turned to me and said it’s the 55.72$ is right and I said, "I just prove that to you. How can you say that" and he said, "Because it was an service fee of 18.58$ and it was an booking fee of 2.40$ and if I deduct them from that money" and... I said, "Hey buddy why you explaining all these to me?" I don’t want to know and I don’t care how much Uber charging the customer, Uber can charge 100$ for just 3 mile, I can’t say why did you give me for example 3$ and took 97$ for yourself.
They will turn around and tell me, "Your fare with us calculate on the mile+time and 3$ for this ride is ok," basically they says very polite it’s not your business. So base on this I told the guy, "Hey buddy I don’t care how much you gonna charge the customer" and I don’t want to know and he get very aggressive to me and tried attack me so I get angry and mention that I did my part very well and my part was drive the passenger to the destination and I did but he said, "Why did you said I don’t care" and constantly repeating me on very aggressive and attacking way and shouting on me, "Why did you said I don’t care?"
So because the argument was getting very bad I said, "You know what what’s your name" and he said John and I am absolutely sure his name is not John. I spoke to this guy maybe 100 times and he lie to me on the recorded line and it is shameful for the company like Uber and I said, "You lie to me. Your name is not John" and... at the end he refuse to give his name to me and I said, "I want to speak with your supervisor" and he get the 1000 different excuses to not pass the phone to his supervisor and he said they are very busy and I said, "No problem. I will stay on the line" and he start laugh to me and told me, "Ok stay in the line" and make joke on me and laugh on me and put me on the hold for ampler 51 minutes and every 10 minutes he come back and telling me, "Hello are you there? Are you there?!" And when I was answering, "Yes I am" he laugh again and put me on the hold again.
After almost 51 minutes being on the hold he hang up the phone on me and I have all these recorded and he thought he is very smart but after all these years we know how we should act on situation like this. Now I am going to give them a call back and ask for the supervisor to speak with about this guy, he is most nastiest and rudest person in Uber support team, I spoke with him so many times and I always had problem with him. He done all these by perps to me and I believe he know me and he just wants to revenge me.
I haven't wants anything extra. I just wants my money that I worked for and I absolutely deserve that money. I won’t leave this man do whatever he want, I record everything live on the camera and I can put them in the YouTube to everybody. This guy break my heart, make me very upset, I feel like I have depression now, he accused me and I feel I am the guilty person and I want to die right now. I want to kill myself. If within next few hours Uber doesn't take any action against this guy I will put the all videos on the Youtube and speak with solicitor about this situation.
I hope somebody take any action cos because of just one person all the Uber support team gonna get blame and because of just one person all the reputation of the company is gonna be in danger.

I ordered an UBER by entering the facility name on Monday. There was no issue with arriving time and price, then I confirmed it. However when I arrived there, it was not the one I wanted to go to. I definitely entered the correct facility name and the name of building I arrived was not even same name as I entered. Also I had to add the correct address by myself and they charged me again. I’m sure that the address UBER programmed into their system was wrong and they took me to the wrong place (driver was nice).
When I complained my issue on online, they don’t quite understand what I’m saying. So I asked them to provide the phone number to talk representative, but they said they don’t provide phone service (I think this is the worst thing).

Uber has made transportation much easier, however, it is overrated and expensive. Uber only cares about $ and drivers but does not care about customers at all. First there is not a phone number to reach if you ever encounter any kinds of problems. Only 10% of drivers are actually nice and professional. Uber taking your money when the driver cancels the ride is just ridiculous. Uber should not cut $$ from your account even if you cancel the ride. If our ride cancellations affects the drivers, then Uber should be able to solve that issue for drivers. Customers should not be paying even for a single penny, if they don’t use the ride.
Uber drivers can’t wait for you even for 5 minutes, however, customers are required to wait minimum 5 minutes for every ride. Most rides are delayed as well. Next, Uber driver never treats us well and makes you pay extra if you have to go a little extra. If you slam a door or whatever the ** it is, they underrate you. Uber has no guarantee about your safety. The pool is usually in 2 opposite directions so I don’t know how we are supposed to even call it a pool. Uber should strongly think about their customer service as strong as Amazon and Target.

Then I was stern that I will not cancel the booking so he said that someone was unwell at his home so he had to go urgently (I know he was lying).
He then cancelled the booking on his own so I started arguing with him. He asked me how much fare was it showing to Vasai. I told him it’s showing 1000rs so he said ok. "Don’t book another Uber. I will drop you to Vasai in 1200rs." I got so angry on him for this... Some time back he wanted to go home because someone was unwell in his house and suddenly he was ready to drop me and demanding me for 1200rs. Horrible man. Please don’t take his bookings guys.

Worst thing with UBER is that they do not have any REAL TIME SUPPORT. If anything goes wrong you have to fight with the driver and then take out time later on to sit and write a complaint and in reply all you will get are saved templates!!! I had to book and cancel six cabs back to back because driver denied destination and also denied cancelling the trip. And then the funniest thing is after all this UBER blocked from booking any more cab.

Uber is a total rip-off. They scam drivers every day. You always see premium possible for long pickups but never get them. This means it should be a surge because no drivers are in that area. I have copies of all the premium possible trips and never get premium but charge rider a big premium. My last one was a 2.7 mile trip that took 5 minutes. Had to drive 18 minutes to get there and almost 5.5 miles. The rider paid 14.26. I got 5.43 and that included a 1.70 long pickup! Anyone who says they aren’t screwing drivers is either an idiot or a troll for Uber! That is criminal. I have pics of every one. What rider would pay 14.26 for a 2.7 mile ride that took five minutes??? Had to be surge! I had to drive 18 minutes and 5.5 miles to get to rider.
They also switched to miles driven and time because they know most people will get to destination faster as if 55 mph on Highway you always go 60–65 mph. So they skim from there on millions of rides and also they program longer routes and many times riders tell you to go a different way that is faster and all those trips Uber takes more of the fare. They are a scam company and should be sued for fraudulent practices. I would love to have someone prove they get premium when long pickup! I have done 11 total and have pics of every one and it clearly shows fraudulent practices. Uber Getting paid for surge but not showing it. But obviously the price riders pay is surge!

If the driver did not show up within the window of time allotted, the passenger would be credited $10 for a future ride so long as it met the eligibility criteria. My driver exceeded the window of time and arrived later. As a result, I was late to arrive for my appointment. I wrote to customer service and requested the credit.

I have to take my sister to the hospital as she was not feeling well in the evening, so I booked a cab via uber. The distance was hardly 3-5 km from my pick up location to my destination. First it took 10-15 mins to connect me with one driver when my pick up point is very near to the main highway (less than even 1 km). And 10 around cabs are always available in this area.
Time was also not 8pm or after. Second, even when the app connected me to this driver named Mr. ** whose no. is **. I called him to know his exact location so that I came to know at what time he will arrive here but he was so rude like I am not a customer but a poor chap who is asking him for a lift. I was just saying something and he disconnected. I didn't react because I know this area is little crowded one and people get pissed sometimes due to traffic. His arrival time was 7 mins when I booked the cab but even after 10-12 minutes.
He haven't reached here nor I received any call from his side about his delay or cancellation or anything like that, then I again called him and surprise surprise he disconnected...like really wow...amazing...then suddenly the app shows another driver's information whose name is Mr. ** and no. is ** that he will come to pick us up so I called him because I have to go to the hospital. But when he picked up he told that he can't come as he just pass that area and don't want to come in that traffic area now. And it was devastated. I asked him then why he has accepted that request of mine when I booked the cab, he told he was not aware about the destination location because it was not shown at his end. I disconnected that call and tried to book another cab even after such incidents because that time going to the hospital was my priority.
But third time it took me 30 mins but even then that app was unable to connect me to any cab nearby. So I just ask someone to take us to the hospital. But really that was worst experience which one could face. Lots of complaints after this incident. In first place how this is possible that when we a book cab the other person is not able to see our destination address which the app asks us this in the very beginning of booking a cab and if there is some restriction that they only pass half the information about any customer's request then how the hell this business can work.
Here we the customers are suffering and will suffer because if there is some emergency when booking cab is really important and reaching to the destination is the matter of life and death like in my case then what will we do. And second thing let's keep aside all the things, but when I told both of them that I have to go to the hospital then where their humanity gone, can't they be serious on this fact and that time they has to find some way out to fulfill their duty. But they only showed unprofessional behavior and inhumanity. Pathetic experience. Hope this will not happen again with anyone.

I received a message today stating that the driver reported a mess made and I was provided with 2 pictures...there is no mess shown and I know a mess was not made because I didn't have anything to make a mess with.
I wrote back to them requesting a copy of the full report to include the time. I just received a message stating that they take these matters seriously and they reviewed my account and the driver's account and cannot refund the cleaning fee. But, they did not provide me with a copy of the report. So, drivers can tack on a cleaning fee to any rider they choose??? I also have a $31.77 gift card credit that I can't use until this fee is paid. I let them know that this is unacceptable and I will fight this as long as far as I can.

My issue with Uber is they quote you a price when you complete your trip and days later the price is different. They don't tell you anything. I started using one card just for them that is how I found out and if you check your receipt it's says wait time or toll surcharge and fees. This is robbery and they need to stop. The drivers are saying they arrive and most of the time they are in the wrong place or they drop you off in the wrong place and pretend they did not hear you say no it's over there. That's stealing.

Spent way too much time today setting up our Uber for Business account since several folks from our company are going to be traveling. Sounded like a great concept but after getting everything set up I was informed that they needed three days to process our account. Nowhere was there a mention of that and we've used Uber individually for a long time. So, tried to get some help and they just weren't too concerned or interested in trying to resolve the issue. So account is deactivated and we use another provider who seems to care a lot more about customer service. Just a warning...

Since February of 2016, I've been using Uber on behalf of the company I work for to schedule rides for our clients coming into town. I've probably spent close to $1500 in gift cards alone since then. I've never had a problem until yesterday. After two company cards, a PayPal account, and multiple attempts to pay through the app and the Mac, I could not get their system to accept a payment. I confirmed with my bank, that the issue is not the card. In fact, the bank is holding these transactions. But Uber doesn't have a record of them.
I've called, I've E-mailed, I've Facebooked. The number that is everywhere, and the number everyone keeps referring me back to is 884-324-2346 for customer service. When I spoke to a rep regarding the issue, she told me she couldn't help me. She couldn't find the transactions listed on her end, and that they are only a vendor and can't take payment for the gift cards over the phone. She asked me if there was anything else she could help me with. My response was something like, unless you can refer me to someone who can help me purchase these gift cards, or an alternate way to obtain them, I guess you've done what you can. She could not, and the conversation ended.
After this, I reached out over Facebook, since I didn't receive any responses to the original E-mail. They told me they couldn't locate my request. I sent the Reference ID sent in the E-mail I originally sent out. In turn, they sent me another E-mail with the same phone number. I called 11:54 am, EDT. There was no response, so I left a message.
It's not about the amount spent, as I'm sure it's meager compared to other companies or individuals, but it's about the principle of the matter. Overall, I really like Uber, but it seems impossible to get assistance should something happen. It's very disappointing and frustrating. I don't really want to switch to one of their competitors, but for something like this, I need a reliable company and this experience was frustrating enough that it may force me to consider alternate options for our future seminars. I really hope to reverse this review in the future, but I'll definitely be thinking twice about supporting this company.

I had booked a ride to take us from a restaurant on Canal Street, to the West Village. The driver stopped at the wrong place. We signaled him NOT to make a U turn on a busy street: we'd cross with the light. We did. He charged us for waiting time. Then he took the wrong route, and we wound up in New Jersey. We told him he had the wrong route, and he screamed "I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING." In Jersey City, there was an accident in front of us - a bad one. He swerved, and nearly started a second one. Then he told us "as a courtesy" he wouldn't charge the NJ surcharge. After we got back to NY (another "courtesy", he wouldn't charge us the toll), he started taking us to Brooklyn. Twice. Again 'I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING'. Two sixty year olds have to act like James Bond and jump out of the car when it stops, to get away. We were further downtown than when we started. Uber's reaction?

I’ve driven for Uber for 3 years and constant battle for them to get fares accurate or my rides disappear completely. And it’s always in their favor. And always the bigger fares. I’ve never been overpaid for a ride accidentally. Customer service is a joke. They act like idiots who can’t understand common English and only ever send a canned response. It is the most frustrating customer services I’ve ever dealt with. Uber treats drivers as though they are expendable. When they list how many miles I drove on a ride it is always less than that what I actually drove according to my GPS.
On average they take 44%-55% of the price the passenger pays by adding on extra fees. Sometimes more. Drivers are left to carry the heavy expense and most of the time passengers pay so much for the ride they don’t want to tip. The thing that worries me the most though is that passengers personal information comes through on my end sometimes or mixes their information up with other passengers.
I have called a passenger I’m picking up before for directions many times and get a completely different person with an Uber account who did not order a ride. And the last time this happened the call went to an Uber driver in a whole other state who was out driving. Go figure? I would not recommend this company to anyone as a driver or passenger. They are the worst. If you want good service use Lyft. I’ve been driving for them also and in 3 years have not had any issues at all as a driver. Not 1. They are an awesome company. Treat drivers like they appreciate us. They pay better and charge passengers far less.

Uber is continually squeezing profit away from drivers by changing their policies. I've been driving for over a year and have a nearly perfect rating. I do a fantastic job for this company and I feel completely unappreciated. I am not alone. Every month that goes by, Uber finds ways to change their policies to be less friendly to drivers, who they call partners. They have made it clear to me more than once that I am expendable. Regardless of the service that I provide for them, they are aware that hundreds of other drivers signed up today, and if I don't like it I can leave. They're changing incentives that we have counted on and taking up to two-thirds profit in many rides. Uber needs to be held accountable and must show their appreciation and value of the drivers who are the backbone of their business.

Driver took me to wrong destination - claiming I had entered the wrong address. I typed the address into the app, but it defaulted to another address (thanks, Uber). I paid about $12 extra and 15-20 extra minutes to get to the right place. I hate Uber. They just don't get it. LESSON LEARNED: When getting into the car, BE SURE TO CONFIRM your desired destination by exact street address with the driver. Uber's drivers simply follow the GPS in the app and won't ask to confirm. Uber's drivers are stupid automatons. No wonder Uber is on forefront of developing driverless technology... they are practically there already. The Uber app will offer several alternate destinations as you type in the destination address. If you, by chance, tap the wrong one - and don't notice - you'll wind up on wrong side of town. Uber accepts no responsibility. Be careful using its app. Be careful with Uber. They rip you off and you have no recourse.

As a former UberEats driver this company has HORRIBLE customer service and most of the representatives cannot comprehend English. They take you around and around asking you the same questions over and over again and they have no respect for the drivers, though they love issuing apologies without solving your issues. They have constant issues with their app and as an UberEats driver your trips REGULARLY go missing and you have to fight tooth and nail for your missing money, IF they even solve it. It sucks when your trips go missing because you then lack proof of the delivery unless you screenshot your trip (which is ridiculous to have to remember to do for every trip) which makes speaking with their unprofessional representatives even more difficult.
The customers and restaurants are all friendly and awesome but the Uber representatives and company sucks as well as their pay. With all the mileage and wear and tear to your vehicle you'd think they'd pay more or take much less of a percentage of your money. Rip off to drivers and I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone looking for work. They don't pay enough for a decent living by any means and they currently don't have a line for you to speak with a live UberEats representative unless you are live on a delivery.

Uber is fine unless you're trying to cancel a trip. I accidentally booked a trip. I contacted the driver and immediately within 30 seconds and he did not cancel it. I responded again 5 minutes later. The driver did not cancel. He finally told me to cancel after he arrived at my destination. The issue I have is that there's no cancellation button. I was scrolling through every area of the Uber app trying to figure out how to cancel this ride even after I contacted the driver and I could not locate anything. Upon intensive internet search trying to find an 800 number to call Uber directly and being unsuccessful I finally did an online search and was told thru a wiki article how to cancel a trip... to click on a tiny picture of the driver to access the cancel button. This is deceptive practice. I was charged $13.37 because of the driver's time because he did not cancel the ride and I had no idea or information on how to cancel it myself.
From personal Lyft does not have this issue. They have a cancel button that is very easy to see and find even for first timers. If they're going to be charging a rider and do not have access or information posted in The Help section of an Uber app to cancel a ride to me it is unfair to even be charging a customer and I believe at some point over will be faced with litigation regarding that if they continue to operate their system without a phone number and without a help option to be able to cancel a ride. The only way you can cancel a ride is to tap the driver's photo which is very tiny at the bottom of the page. When you tap the photo of the driver as you scroll down you can find how to cancel. There's no indication otherwise and no one would know that they needed to tap a photo that is half the size of my pinkie finger... deceptive at best!

While visiting Nashville for a concert on August 25th, I scheduled an Uber ride at the quoted rate (iPhone app) of $21.**.

A few seconds later, I received a notification that I had been charged $79.72! Uber informed me that there was a "surge charge" (which I had never heard of) and that it is applicable, essentially when there are very few drivers available, relative to the number of riders needing rides. Supposedly, the rider is notified of the surge charge before accepting or rejecting the ride, but I wasn't. I was simply told "$21.**", then charged $79.72. There were plenty of taxis in the area that I could have taken with no waiting. Going forward, I'll routinely be using Uber's competitors when available, then taxis unless it's cost prohibitive, then Uber as a last resort.

I've decided to write a review only after a second experience of this kind. I will continue to keep close tabs on all Uber charges from now on. The fìrst time I was charged for a round trip to and from airport at the next pay level up (limo level). Uber was adamant about the charge along with the driver, despite the verifiable fact that had I actually made the trip reported, I wouldn't have landed in another city which happened to be 2 hours away by plane. This was 3 hours after I arrived at airport. The other issue verifiable by Uber's hold on my credit card for the correct amount. Price was double the authorized charge.
Second incident was also for a charge at the next pay level. The insult to injury being that the driver here reported taking a route that was definitely not used. Through a toll tunnel instead of the toll free bridge, he in fact used. I believe this was done because I spent the trip talking to my foreign speaking dad in another language. He must have assumed I was easy prey.
Both matters were not settled honorably or honestly by Uber. I had my credit card company handle the dispute. Then. On the second incident Uber put a hold on my account, refusing me a ride until I paid for the disputed ride in full. They said that I was negligent when it was them who was negligent in failing to respond to the complaint for over 1 week. I was at airport with no cash and a phone about to go dead. So I paid. They continued in their failure.to respond. Again I called credit card company to intervene.
No letter of apology from Uber. No apology from driver. I was not allowed to post driver review. No call from Uber customer service asking if I were satisfied with resolution of problem. All basic common business practices. I am wondering how long it will be before Uber is held accountable by regulatory authorities. It is unconscionable that such a large company is free to operate without any accountability.

I’m really disappointed with Uber for what I feel was “pointing of a gun at my face and rip me off” at the very last minute when I needed the service the most. I had book a trip from Madrid to the Airport, I was showed a fare from low to high, I was ok with it, I ordered the service. Less than 10 minutes before my trip, I received a message from Uber saying that due to congestion and demand (6AM and Madrid was empty), I will be charge 50% or more. I received this message and at the same time the confirmation that the driver was on its way.
Worst thing, when I felt I was being rip off, is the message from Uber saying that I have “10 minutes” to cancel the order If I did not want it (if you don’t is like you agree and you get charge. I saw this message on my phone when I had only 3 minutes left). That’s pointing a gun in your face, when you need to go to the airport, when you don’t have time to use other service or a cab, that you MUST pay then 50%. I’m sure your evil system knows that at that time in the morning, with someone going to an airport to catch a flight, and 10 minutes before needing to leave, the client is just ready for a ransom. Your evil system knows it.
I don’t imagine saying to my clients 10 minutes before delivering my services “is 50% more on the agreement, and you have 10 minutes to cancel or I will charge you”. As a client I felt bad because 10 minutes before providing a needed service, saying to a client to pay 50% more or cancel the service, is a rip off and you definitively get a bad taste in your mouth for being rob. I will never again use the service and I will tell everybody about my true story.

I had left my phone in an Uber car whilst away on business in San Jose in April, I am yet to have a satisfactory conclusion to my dispute. I went to my hotel room and got my tablet device and went to the Uber website and logged in however, couldn't do anything without an SMS verification which would be sent to my phone which was in the car, so pointless. I downloaded the Uber app on device but couldn't operate anything there. I even logged onto Samsung website and attempted to force my phone to ring but it was out of power. The only way I could get hold of Uber was by writing on Twitter at how bad my experience was and they asked me to private message. I then explained where I went from and to and the times and took a snapshot of the email receipt for the trip.
The next day, I continued to private message them to get them to get hold of the driver and confirm how to get my phone back and emphasized that I was leaving San Jose to get a flight back to New Zealand at 3:30pm. After sending 5 messages up until 3:10pm, I finally get a response saying that my phone was not in the vehicle. I fly back to NZ and four days later I get a message saying, "we have your phone, how would you like to get it back?" - this is after I had did a police report, paid for new phone, wiped my old phone, setup new phone - deleted all the media on the old phone which was all the footage from a very important tech conference and the whole purpose of my visit to San Jose.
I asked them for compensation of vouchers on my account so I could get money back over time. I also suggested that they should create a link at the bottom of the email they send so that if I have lost anything like my phone, add contact details which could be sent directly to the driver for that trip. Nothing. I am utterly disgusted that although I lost my phone, they have no mechanism to sort the problem out and avoid all responsibility even though it is obviously a broken process their end. A normal taxi journey would require a call to the company whose number is on the receipt and get it sorted in 15 minutes. There lies the problem.

I was very happy with Uber until my last experience when I had a ride with Uber to Kashmiri gate. When I booked the ride I was shown 188/- for my ride. As soon as driver arrived he said it is 285/- fare showing on his app. I thought it will be updated. At the end of the ride driver asked me to pay the amount showing on his app. I showed him it is 188 on my end. He said, “You can escalate it later with Uber. Right now you will have to pay 285/”. I paid it, also the receipt I got from Uber is still showing 188.
Later on I contacted Uber regarding the same but to my surprise they simply denied to help me saying since the transaction was made out of Uber system they can't do anything. I didn't understand the word "OUT OF UBER SYSTEM". Just because I paid in cash it was not their responsibility to resolve the issue. I asked them to at least give me the correct receipt but they stopped replying to my emails. And the issue remains the same. I’m so dissatisfied with the kind of response they gave and simply denied to take the responsibility just because I paid in cash. I guess it is their practice to earn more money out of customer.

I’ve use Uber for the last 2 years and never complained about anything even when I had small issues. Today I’ve tried to talk to a human being for the last 4 hours and there is NONE existence!! The automated stupid robot keeps emailing be nonsense - I asked for A ride at 4:30 am and it said driver is 9 min away for $35 rate - after 30 minutes I saw on the app that the driver is struggling to find the place - I called, texted and no response. Finally he canceled. Second driver showed 7 min away with the same rate. The same exact thing except this one the driver at least called. Trust me I don’t live in a desert. I’ve had many rides on the same location.
After 90 min of wait outside of my brother's house (because I didn’t want to wake the entire family at 5 am) the third driver with a higher rate showed up. It is only fair to adjust my rate to the original rate plus some sort of compensation for the inconvenience it has caused me instead of the stupid app sending me nonsense responses. On top of all the charges me for not being ready I was outside for 90 min. The driver did not wait a second for me. Shame on you Uber.

I ordered an Uber around 1130pm on July 20, 2018 for a 4.6 mile drive that would normally take 10 minutes. The regular car said it would cost almost $17 and the rideshare option was between $11-12. I opted for the cheaper option to save some money. The app told me the driver would arrive in 5 minutes, I waited in excess of that for the driver, fine. I get in the vehicle and settle in to look at my phone to see the fare jumped to $14.06. I agreed to one fare and Uber charged me over the agreed upon fare. Not to mention the driver drove so slow as if he was waiting for another pickup along route. I arrived to my destination much later than expected. He would stop at stop signs and wait half a minute before moving, it was past midnight at this point and there was nobody on the road. He also drove a route that was slightly longer than another.
I reached out to Uber who told me that there were no discrepancies in price, then they told me that it was in an acceptable range of the agreed upon price. I wasn't aware that you can agree on a price and then have it change without your knowledge. I do not like their practices and believe they are a scam. Customer support sounds like automated robotic answers, they do not solve issues. I will be deleting my account. I would rather walk the 4 miles than give my money to an undeserving corporation.

It is however associated with the driver account I attempted to make but there was no email associated with that account because the process was not finished.
That being said, I took to the chat to see if there was any other way I could change the number but the young lady told me that I contacted the wrong support and gave me a link to submit a claim. So basically, "I can't help you but our computers with get back to you with our best automated response." After sending the link she left the chat. So I thought maybe I could change the number on my driver account but when attempted to open a new chat window the same window opened up. I asked if there was anyone to help me then received notification that someone had joined the chat then immediately left the chat. So now I have two separate accounts can't be used.

The Uber app has the help option but only accommodates a number of preset problem configurations and absolutely nothing outside of it. I had an issue where I was grossly overcharged for a ride. Now there was construction in the area but the driver admitted that he was completely unfamiliar with the area and therefore his lack of knowledge was the more significant reason for my delay.
However when I submitted my feedback on the trip I chose the option that there was construction and the app refused to refund me or give me any other option to dispute. It was then that I discovered that there is no way to contact Uber. Calling the 1-800 number results in a voice mail indicating that they don't accept phone calls and that you have to email them at support@uber.com. When you email support@uber.com you receive an auto-response telling you that you only option is to submit feedback in the app. This has cause me to really question Uber as a company and their commitment to their customers. Based on this experience I have decided that I will probably not use Uber anymore as a service and I will spread the word on these significant shortcoming.

The car that arrived was a huge SUV that could probably seat at least 8 people (I was alone and had one small piece of luggage and a backpack), and when I looked at the receipt later, I saw that they charged me $150 for this unnecessarily huge vehicle.

The driver "cancelled" and they charge me a cancellation free!! - I use the App for an Uber to pick me up from a gated community. The application directs me to a pickup intersection about 1/4 mile from my current location (on a very hot muggy night). I arrive there but me driver. After a 10 minute wait, I get a "ride cancelled" message from the App. At the time of the message notification, I see the driver on the App about a mile away at one of the entrances.
Long story short, I assume the development security wouldn't let the driver into the complex. So I walk to the entrance (my cellphone very low on its charge) only to find that it was a resident only entrance. The driver did not proceed to a manned security entrance. Now I try to get another driver, but my phone dies. I then had to walk 1/2 mile to a gas station, ask the attendant to allow me to charge my phone for 15 minutes (thankfully they did). I was then able to use the App to get a driver from Uber to take me home. I was very upset with the driver that cancelled my ride causing me substantial stress and almost two miles of walking.
So imagine how upset I was to receive an email informing me of a $6 cancellation fee for the ride that was cancelled. To add insult to injury, Uber doesn't have any link or contact information on their site to address such grievances. You would expect them to have a means to resolve financial disputes on their website. That tells me they don't believe they have enough competition to provide that level of customer service.

Uber is fast and easy! There is nothing like it and now we can't live without it! Uber will be here forever! Uber can take you to and from the airport, take you to and from the grocery store, to and from night spots, to and from sporting events, to and from funerals, to and from wedding receptions, to and from the baby showers, to and from Christmas parties, pool parties, New Year's Eve parties, office parties, On and on and on! We love Uber ask a mission point.

Awesome for going out with friends and no one wants to drive because we're drinking. Show you the driver's face and make of the car so you know exactly who's picking you up.

I have had very successfully rides with Uber. Very dependable and safe drivers. Downloaded app is very easy to use. Responsibly priced and would definitely use them again.

Overall my experience with Uber is wonderful with the exception of my 1st attempt, while I was trying to figure out the app, and got charged for a trip I cancelled within 3 MIN!

Although it may be a perception it seems safer. Most of the drivers I have met seem like nice likable people. Cars are much cleaner, not like cabs in Chicago.

For the most part I find the drivers to be friendly, professional and careful. Also, they arrive promptly. However, occasionally a driver speaks about political views which is inappropriate conversation. I experienced this in London but the local drivers haven't discussed touchy topics.

I like the service. In the app you can track the cab, the driver’s picture as well as the make/model of the car. Before you enter you’re given a short description about the driver. And at the end of the ride you have the option of rating the driver. Definitely would recommend Uber!

I didn't order rideshare but I was charged. My bank refunded my money but I will never use Uber's rideshare app again. There isn't a live person to talk to only email.

The driver was very knowledgeable about the area, great conversation. The car was clean and had a nice scent. He was on time, opened the door and even offered mints.

I took Uber to the airport but on the return trip the app wouldn’t work — I finally deleted it and added Lyft and took them home. I was really angry after arriving and exhausted.

Had problems with Uber app. Driver was great, friendly, courteous and on time, he but had the wrong directions. I wonder if I was overcharged. Have no idea how much I was charged.

Used Uber on a family vacation in Boston and got great service from where we dropped off our rental car to the north end where having to drive is totally crazy. Driver really knew his way around. I use to live there so I knew he was not going off the beaten path.

Drove for Uber for some time and then one day I get a notification that my account is disabled. No explanation or reason to my knowledge. Don't waste your time and money working for these jokers. I sent them information providing all requirements for driving and they just shut down my account for no reason or explanation. They SUCK. Don't be used by Uber. It's not worth it. Time, mileage, wear and tear and tickets, nothing to show for it. A few dollars, not worth it. STAY AWAY FROM UBER.

While I have encountered a few minor issues, they were indeed minor. I love the ease in calling for a ride, my options in selecting the kind of ride I want [when I do grocery shopping I ride alone so I have room for my groceries & get right home]. Paying & tipping is easy. Every driver has been great; their cars are always clean & modern [never a beater]. Always smoke-free.

I’ve had 90% great rides. The other 10% were either rude or acted like you were bothering them asking for a ride. I’ve had the worse experiences with Middle Eastern men who don’t seem to like women questioning/telling them anything. But, to each their own.

Sometimes impossible or at a minimum, very challenging to find a car in our area depending on time. Also have had issues where the larger size car is not available and we have to squeeze 4 adults into a small car.

I’ve used Uber in several cities New York, Chicago, Orlando, Miami, Boston, Las Vegas. I feel safer when I can see a picture and car description in a society where it is so unsafe for women traveling alone. In Vegas it was the cheapest way to get to and from the airport. Boston didn’t allow airport pickup but I got one to return to airport, a savings of $20. If the cabs want to compete they need to adjust their rates and make us feel safer.

I saw on the APP, the economy car from NYC to Jersey City would be $46. I arrived and I was sent an email that said I was charged $72. I have been trying all day to get a refund and they will not take care of this. They just keep replying all sorts of random reasons why they cannot refund me, all using different cuts and pastes (Let me clarify, different people are answering the inexplicable reasons, with NO fair explanation.)
The last reason was this "We have reviewed your concern with this trip, and we're happy to help. We understand that you wanted credit, however, that is not in accordance with our standards at this time and we will be unable to fulfill this request. Please know that we review our standards on a regular basis and feedback like yours is invaluable as we continue to design more helpful support experiences for our riders. Your patience during this matter is appreciated."
This same response has been sent to me numerous times today. It is a complete nightmare to know what you ordered and the exact fare you agreed to pay, and to KNOW they are playing games. UBER CUT IT OUT!!! Refund someone who insists they didn't order a black car. I swear I didn't order a black car!!! I never ever would... By the way, I have requested a dispute from PayPal, and BBB and emailed the new CEO and Tweeted up a storm. NOTHING!!!!

I've stopped using Uber and switched to Lyft. Lyft is a hundred times better, and everyone agrees to that. It was a rainy day when I requested a trip. When I finished my trip, the next day I was charged $150 as a "Cleanliness Fee". I did NOT throw up or create a mess of any kind. But just because my shoes were wet they charged me that insane amount. On asking them, they replied with a photo of the "so-called-mess" saying the driver had to clean this up so he couldn't accept rides. There were small yellow petals lying on the mat, that a rider before or after me created. But charging me for WATER?!? The dumb ** don't know that the mat he had in car dries on its own in a few minutes, and he clearly charged me to make that money. I DO NOT APPROVE of this transaction as I did not create ANY mess. It was NOT authorized by me.
UBER SUCKSSSS!!!

I have been a devoted customer in Canada and the US. I have had continual operational issues in Calgary. My house in downtown Calgary doesn’t even work on their maps. New drivers get lost 75 percent of the time to the international airport. The biggest complaint I have is today I waited about an hour to receive a ride 4 km away from my house. l should have walked. Through their incredible incompetence they charged me a cancellation fee as I’m standing directly under the address sign for over 30 minutes. I just hope people stop using an unsafe and unreliable mode of travel in the future.

We have used this service frequently in several cities. So far it has largely been very positive. Most cars, prompt, clean, safe and the drivers courteous. No major complaints. The timing is sometimes off...they come too quickly and are impatient or are slightly late. For the most part, it is good to excellent. Keep the prices down to have an edge over other taxi services.

Fast and low cost service. Used five times so far and always reliable. Sure beats taxis. Drivers were very professional and easy to work with. Paying for the ride with my credit card and the map showing where my driver is relative to picking me up are nice features.
