If anyone does give you a hard time you should report them to Uber immediately! We are not allowed to discriminate so if you feel discriminated against, I would contact Uber and tell them of the driver's behavior.
LOL comment of the year!
Can you post about the scam here? I don't know this one.
COME ON!! The DeLorean is without a doubt the top movie car!
"The food delivery service surveyed a representative sample of 2,000 U.K. adults last month to uncover the greatest cars to feature in films, with the Aston Martin DB5 taking the top spot, followed by the 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 from the “Back to the Future” trilogy"
Usually Uber and Lyft are reliable but there has been a driver shortage with Covid-19 which can cause some long wait times. I would recommend getting up extra early and requesting your car, better to be safe than sorry!
Definitely a scam! Do not give them any information. Uber would never give out $200 for free 😂
Can you post some of the responses Uber is giving you? Sorry, it is working fine for me...
Hm, I think you would have better luck renting a car for this type of trip. I don't think many rideshare drivers would be willing to do this drive with all those animals! Good luck!
And of course, no tip...
😂 too true
I think a lot of this question depends on where you are based! Let us know and we can help further!
eeek, that is seriously disturbing. Imagine driving around a dead person without even realizing it.
LOL exactly! He was sent every good ride for sure.
LOL, if that...
Isn't there another company that does this... play octopus?
I would recommend ordering an Uber or Lyft and explaining your situation to the driver to see if they would be willing to set up recurring rides offline for cheaper (as Uber wouldn't be taking a cut). If the driver you have the first day declines then try again the next day! I bet you will find someone.
I don't think this would bother most drivers but you can always contact them in the app as soon as you request to let them know the situation, if it is a problem for them they will simply cancel the ride and you can request a new driver.
Well, it most likely depends on which company you booked a ride with. I would suggest just using Uber or Lyft and ordering your car when you arrive.
From my understanding, to be covered by insurance and following all the rules that Uber has laid out, you will need to register your car in Georgia to drive for Uber there. You may be able to get away with NYC plates but if you get in an accident you will most likely have a big headache on your hands.
Do you know if there are more drivers than normal in your area?
