Hello, I'm Lyft's driver. I'll tell you. Lyft takes 70% and gives 30% to the driver. And when the car gets stuck in traffic, it charges passengers for traffic and gets all the money, but only about 0.45 cents to the driver. And when it arrives, it takes 5 minutes, which also charges passengers a lot of money and gives drivers 0.07 cents. Lyft and Uber need a thorough investigation

I have had riders cancel the ride in the middle of the ride a couple of times. What I do is find the closest building with an address on it and stop there and say you’ll have to start the ride again and because I’m closest to you I’ll probably get the ride, and you can even sit in the backseat and wait. But I will not take them another inch farther without the ride being turned back on.

This is what you do if anyone reports that you are drunk. you go and take a blood test and File a small claim for $10.000 I did it and got her employer to pay every two weeks $250 out of her paycheck...

One of the best guys I've heard so far talkin about Uber scams

[Jeffreys]

I had someone request a trip last night. As soon as I completed my previous trip I received a call from the passenger. The Uber message says “a call from support” I told the guy right away I knew it was from the passenger, he immediately started cussing at me and threatening me. I stopped and call uber support right away and reported it, meanwhile the rider never canceled and was still pending. I cancelled the trip and Uber says they are investigating the rider, I assume he used a fake address and wasn’t at the location. I did sense change my communication to not allow calls, Only accepting texts with voice reader. That should stop the call scams.

#1 Scam getting paid $3 for driving 15 miles and wasting half an hour of my time repeatedly until I go 2 weeks without a ride paying more than $5.05

You forgot the ladies the woman that try to get you to take their kids with NO booster seat or car seat! Or kids under 18yo trying to ride alone

Uber takes too much for long trips. I had a $103 trip the other day. Uber took $60.03 cents, and gave me the rest. What a joke!

This is probably super helpful for new drivers and current drivers !

[QuincyDisneyVegan]

I now at pickup time require people to wear seatbelts, and I'm going to advance notify them of my requirements.

[kevinbryant]

I wish I would have saw this earlier I fell for the scan. Ner I was going to go pick up a rider and uber support called me through the app and I fell for it as a new driver learn my lesson

[jacobmercado]

Experience with Uber in regards to support is garbage

[nikitachirich]

So to summarize:

Always check with potential rider, while doors locked, with window cracked:
Always have interior-exterior cameras with microphone working.
Always have Uber GPS working



1. How many riders do you have (max 4) Uber X
2.Never accept any cash upfront or during rides. (site Uber recorded policy)
3. Do not hand your phone to the customer, do not take their phone.
4. Do not accept "Uber support" calls especially around having a ride or cancelled ride.
5. Always run GPS off Uber app to check for cancelled rides (drop off customer immediately at ride cancellation ( site Uber policy).
6. Never deviate drop-off location from Uber ride GPS, always offer to cancel ride if rider insists. (policy).
7. Always have running interior footage for false ride reporting per passenger (with camera timer footage) to avoid false reporting.
8. Do not accept ride if ordering rider is not riding (friend request) to avoid ride cancellations do not accept ride at pickup. (policy)
9.

They told me that they added stop. And want me to go to another location about 1 mile further. They had small kids in the car. Then changed drop off location to return home. Was very tense situation with small children in the car. I sucked it up for the kids.

[johndevine]

They tried to get me over the phone, my question is how do they get your number

[MPEGUser]

Yes, changing destination verbally is a sure sign of a scam. I will just pull over.

[klikitzsmith]

they ring you then ask you for your number, I hope no-one falls for this...

[gabebiwit]

One of the reasons I hate driving on Fridays for Uber because of wild people and sometimes dumb riders trying to get smart with me.

[peterdebrie]

Uber never gets back to you when you contact them or your ride is canceled and they never notify you.
