  Yeah you might get deactivated. Also a lot of drivers just won't pick you up with a low rating. Why bother.

   5 years ago in  Can I Uber drive my wife in my Uber ride app?

  She doesn't have the rider app? I'm not sure how you could do it then. She has to request the ride somehow. You can't request a ride from yourself 😐
  She needs to make an uber account first.

   5 years ago in  As a Uber or Lyft driver, what sets you apart from other drivers? What do you do to have an edge over others?

  I think what Uber and Lyft aim for is uniformity. They don't want us to stand out. Just do our jobs properly and that's all that is required. I think that's all riders really want too. Get me from a to b.

  I do enough to get a good rating. Nothing more. Why should I? There is no benefit to me, and other measures would just cost money. It's not like more riders are going to choose me than some other drivers. This isn't a competitive activity.

   5 years ago in  What happens if I start driving for Uber with a car JUST new enough to qualify? Do I have to get a newer car later when they raise the bar?

  As loretta said it's every year. I have not heard of anyone getting slack from Uber; the requirements are firm.

  Uber knows what car we all drive. I have not run into this situation so I can only speculate, but I presume if my car was going to become out of date with new requirements, I'd get a notice from Uber basically saying I need to get a new car in order to keep driving for them.

  Yeah he won't be able to continue driving if they update the requirements to a newer year. Otherwise there would be some super old cars driving for Uber.

  
  

  Sorry since I'm sure that's not the answer you were hoping for.

   6 years ago in  ALLERGIC REACTION TO TOBACCO SMOKE

  Driver here. Uber cars are technically supposed to be smoke-free. But like brownbear said, even if that rule was adhered to, you don't know the car's history. One thing you could do is call the driver after you request the ride (you can call via the app), and ask them, explaining that any previous smokers in the car at all would give you a bad reaction. Most drivers would be honest about it since they don't want a bad rating. They would rather you cancel the ride than get a 1 star rating.
