  Isn't it BS that passengers can't rate the drivers until a trip is complete? This leads to driver scams. Is Uber doing anything about this?

   5 years ago in  Lyft Hertz car use by family members?

  Insurance has got to be a problem.  

  Though, Hertz does allow additional drivers on the file, and usually it's just a matter of asking.  They often won't even charge anything, so you may want to ask Hertz about it.

   5 years ago in  Leep Rideshare?

  I don't know what it means but "Leep" soudns icky to me.  Like "Reek."  Miss GoT.

  Why not just stick to "Leap"?  Now that makes sense.

   5 years ago in  What are deadhead miles in the context of rideshares? My Uber driver kept saying it.

  Yeah, that's a trucking or trucker lingo.  A truck driver who is on the way back and carrying no cargo would call that ride a deadhead mile or dead miles.    so apply that to Uber and Lyft drivers, and it's basically that return trip after you drop off the passenger. 

  Then again, I have no idea if there are truckers now driving Ubers.  I guess it can happen.  Good drivers, don't mind being on the road, being his or her own boss.  It does fit the profile.

   5 years ago in  As a rider, do you really care about your Uber or Lyft score?

  Why do I care?  I am not trying to be dimissive.  I am actually asking why.  I know drivers can get booted when it's too low.  What about passengers?  Can we be banned?
