The more you use Uber, the more expensive it gets. (Upfront Pricing)

Posted by StuffinMuffin 863 Driver Rider in Tips from Rideshare Experts & Bloggers (41 comments )

I figured this would be the case. With the introduction of upfront pricing, Uber can charge customers anything they want. They will ask for any amount riders are willing to pay. I have heard cases where during the hours when the business users are out, the overall fare goes up. Trips to and from airports? You guessed it. It'll go up because people are willing to pay. All the cheap Uber fares that we have gotten accustomed to are about to go out the window. Regulators and law makers who shoved the taxis out. Are you happy now? What about …

RANT: Extra Passengers

Posted by jutre 121 Driver in Angry Drivers (0 comments )

Why do riders get so bent out of shape when you wont allow then to cram in extra passengers than is allowed! No, I am not going to fit 8 people in the back row of my sedan!! I don't care if you can all sit on eachother's laps! This is my number one complaint with riders, they think they can just "hide" extra people in your car, like you wont notice that 7 people just climbed in your backseat.

Hackers Are Using The Uber App to SCAM Drivers!

Posted by SmittenKitten 2096 Rider in Rideshare News (4 comments )

I don't get it either.A new and insidious scam has popped up recently for drivers: scammers are using the Uber app and customer profiles pretending to be either “Uber Support” or “VIP Customer Support” in order to coerce drivers out of their login information. This is an effort to drain drivers’ bank accounts, and while scams like this have been out for a while, this one can be easier to fall for since it comes from within the Uber app itself.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hackers-using-uber-app-scam-drivers-rideshare-react-harry-campbell/
