  Here are seven that I have seen.  I am not sure where it originally came from, but I keep it handy and sent it out to my female colleagues.

  • Confirm the name of the driver and make of the vehicle.

  • Check the driver’s rating.

  • Share your trip details with friends or family.

  • Avoid riding in the front seat.

  • Follow along in your own maps app.

  • Travel in groups when possible.

  • Trust your gut.

   6 years ago in  Do Uber drivers give low ratings to passengers that are quiet and do not engage in conversations?

  You are right. I didn't even think of this before. We are being rated as paying customers. Does that happen in any other industry?  That would be like buying something on Amazon and being rated by the way I picked up my package. Or waitresses at Chili's rating how I ate  

  Then again, eBay.  And AirBnB.  I guess there are two participating parties, and we want both ends to be held accountable? Perhaps this is the new age way. No longer a definitive line between providers and consumers

   6 years ago in  Can I bring along my dog as a driver?

  I actually have had a taxi driver who brought her dog on her shift.  but the kicker?  It was a service animal, with proper vest and license and all.

  I was like, "oh, ok." but really, in hindsight, it was a bit weird.  The dog was super behaved, it was adorable, the driver was professional, but I feel like it really doesn't belong there.  Again, what if it wants to go in middle of a long trip?  Pullover while I wait?

  I actually don't know what the handicap of the driver was either.  Could it have been sight?  Then how was she driving?  Maybe I've been had. LOL.

   6 years ago in  UberPOOL Questions & Answers - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  See, some of these responses from Uber don't really answer the question.  Like the first one for example.   People ask about the surge because there are multiple people going to multiple destinations.  Which surge do they charge for my portion of the trip? 

  What if the other passenger came from a busy street corner where the surge was 2X, and then I get on 5 minutes away where there is no surge?
