Driver tonight was so erratic on road. (Plate no. NY T*******C) that I thought he was drunk. Speeding up to 80, then slowing to 50 mph, swerving in and out of lanes, on an abandoned highway, it was a haunted roller-coaster ride, as the glow of his cell phone on his face the whole time made him look like a ghoul.

Uber waiting time scam
December 30, 2022

I arrived at my pickup location and ordered my Uber from there. It took about 5 mins for the car to arrive. I saw the car arrive and park about 10 meters from me (it was a parking lot). It took me less than 15 seconds to reach it. The driver could have parked closer but it was fine for me as the car was only about 10 paces away. However, I was charged for waiting time!

In my town waiting time can only be charged after the driver has waited one minute. In this case I was already there and the driver did not have to wait at all.

Uber so called customer service chose not to believe me, saying that I had made a claim for false waiting time in the past. True. It has happened before. That doesn't mean to say it didn't happen again! I think some drivers just try to earn a few more cents by scamming customers in this way. Please watch out for this.
Uber has just lost a customer. There are better alternatives to Uber these days.

Today I booked with Uber and when the app showed our car was due in 5 minutes, we went downstairs to wait. 30 minutes later we were still waiting. During that time, the estimate of arrival bounced back and forth between 3 minutes and 11 minutes. We gave up when it became clear that we would not be picked up in time to reach our destination before it closed.

Pathetic
March 2, 2023

If you wanna be hours late to work and home depend on Uber. They will pull they prices allll the way up like I'm going outta town or something but don't depend on this app alone with Lyft thwy moth just taking your money and not making sure your safe and satisfied. Can't wait to stop taking Uber it was a complete waste of time late everyday because of them & can't call them to complain cause there full of crap. Thanks Uber for having me late to everything and everyday.

Rude $#*! uber
July 6, 2023

An uber picked my friend and i up from the bar the first thing he says to us is wow what a $#*! hole ur at right now. We laugh it off and then he goes i can't believe i just drove 39 minutes for a 3 minute uber ride which then we apologize for and say we'll leave a good tip. He then gets into the conversation of queer people and says that a sex change should be referred to as a "give me a $#*! please surgery". We were weirded out but stayed silent and then he said thank god pride month is over. My friend and i got out of the car screamed happy pride left a 0$ tip and wrote a horrible review.

Uber a No-Show.
July 21, 2023

I received this confirmation of my reservation.
In the app I was told I would be picked up by Azeb.
I waited 10 minutes and no one showed so I called another Uber who told me that he couldn't see my reservation on the system.
This made me late for a very important dentist appointment.
This is very poor service. Moreover there is no way to complain to Uber directly. Just an endless loop of FAQ's on their "support site" that only deal with a limited range of problems.
I am going back to taxi service. They were never so thoughtless.

Cancelation Update
August 21, 2015

Wish there was a "minus star" for ratings. As I said before, I'm trying to cancel UBER, but I gotten 5 emails that keep asking "please tell us why" crap that leads you to their web site asking you to sign in with your password. How the@*$k could I sign in if my account was canceled, why would I want to sign in (are u freaking kidding me?)? Uber has four letters, does anyone have a four letter word that can replace UBER?
Why can't they just read my original email thats explains my reasons?

Great service
August 12, 2014

Great service. E driver was friendly and picked me up within 5 minutes of sending the request. App is easy to load. I was hesitant at first but was impressed with the service so far. Use code hsu2r and we both get a free ride.

NEVER use uber
January 7, 2016

What a joke. I had been using uber for months and loved it... until one day when I was requesting a ride home from the store I ubered to and I got error message saying my card was invalid. After 2 weeks of emails with employees that don't seem to be able to read English, and being told the problem was fixed numerous times, it was never resolved. They don't deserve anyone's business. A family member drove for them for several weeks and quit because he never got paid. They're not even good to their employees.

We should be able to choose the gender of our drivers. Why isnt there an option to do this? I recently had a ride with a shady male. Unfriendly and did not speak a word of English. Felt abit unsafe. The first ride app who allows this will make me their new client.

We booked a taxi from Leeds to Sowerby Bridge on Saturday. Before we got In the taxi we asked how much it would cost and the driver said he didn't know and you should have an email! We did not receive any message to tell us the cost, if we had we would not of got in the taxi, it cost us 90 for what should of been a 32 trip! There were lots of empty uber taxis driving round waiting to pick people up, so the demand was not high, now I can understand d why there was, the inflated price of 2.8 is crazy and no need! I'm shocked disappointed and will not be using uber again, I do not agree with not been told the price before we got in, how can you charge someone without knowing the cost in first place! We had no choice but in to the car as it was late and cold, and we had already ordered it!

Vacation Mishaps
August 24, 2022

We recently went on a family vacation to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. We traveled by rail, stopped in 5 different cities, and chose to use uber in these states. Chicago uber was the worst service I have ever received from any car service. At first, I thought the drivers were, among other things, rude, but it did not help that I was there the same weekend as Lollapalooza, which empowered the stink attitudes. Once when I said you parked too far, and I have luggage; can you back up, he proceeded to remove the baggage I had already placed in the back of his car and drive off while my back was turned, leaving my stuff on the road as I went to get other luggage. When I expressed how I was treated to other drivers, they explained the concert was in town and brought with it none native drivers into Chicago, and they do not know the place or care how they treat people. Uber, you have a long way to go to call yourself a company that cares about the customer service experience.

Why are uberX cars with license plates from other states allowed to pick up in the city of Denver, Colorado. We have over 20,000 homeless and 35 percent of our jobs pay 8 or 9 dollars an hour. Take care of your own people before letting uninsured unknown outsiders pick up your woman and children, Colorado. What the hell? UberX needs to go!

DRIVE WITH LFYT
September 10, 2016

Uber is the biggest piece of $#*! company. They have promised to send my "lost" now "stolen" phone since 8/26/16. I have been stood up by the Uber driver that had it and Uber as a company has promised multiple dates to have my phone all unsuccessful. They refuse to respond to any of my responses. They are a horrible $#*!ing company that hires only people with zero morals and zero care for true customer concern. I will be calling action news with consumer affairs

Total ripoff
November 6, 2014

Total ripoff. $165 for a four mile ride on Halloween after being quoted $53 on the app. Even the driver assured us it was a mistake and that the price would be adjusted when we contacted uber. We contacted them, they did nothing! Just some cut and pasted broad bull$#*! reply. I wish I could give them zero stars. What a scam. NEVER USE UBER EVER!

These people don't even check to see who's credit card people are using. I was shocked to find additional charges on my card that I hadn't made. You can't get in touch with anyone other than through e-mail and they take forever to respond. They only communicate via e-mail because they don't want someone yelling at them over the phone for their fraudulent activities. I will never ever ever use their services and I don't think any one else should either. UBER get a phone so people can communicate with you.

They never showed up for the taxis we booked, they cancelled them and then charged me each time £6 cancellation fee. My clients were 45 minutes late as a result of me having to keep rebooking taxis with them. As a result I lost a large contract, as well as them trying to continually take payments from my account until my bank stopped all payments. When I complained about this issue I have have had no resolution and they still owe me a significant amount of money. We will never use them ever again. Trust your local taxi firms instead to turn up and not rip you off.

Garbage
March 18, 2018

I've already left a bad review on the app but since their a Trump supporting company and to stupid to know how to make their crap work I can't edit it. I'm a traumatic brain injury person who almost fell 3 times on my way home because they can't give you a proper estimate of their drivers and I had to walk home in below freezing temperatures without a jacket. Their app is just bloatware and they think just because they support the illegitimate president they are safe from public opinion! If you are reading this and have a android, do yourself a favor and get the lyft app!
