New Jersey Uber Driver Dropping Off in NYC

Posted by Warwick11 Driver in Ask a Driver (1 comment )

Drive for first time last night. Took a woman from NJ to 5th Ave. in NYC. Was then not allowed to pick anyone up in NYC. Whaaaat? So I drove back to NJ. Is this how it works? Can I at least deduct cost of mileage from my taxes? Did the fare from NJ into NYC somehow include extra for me having to drive back to NJ? Thanks

Can I ask my Uber driver to NOT record me with his webcam? If I do not want to be recorded, shouldn't I be able to request that?

Posted by NancyStride 74 in Ask a Driver (72 comments )

Even calling into a customer service call (at a bank or whatever), we have the choice of asking not to be recorded. What about with rideshares like Uber and Lyft? I understand that the car is a private property, and drivers have the rights to record inside their cabin. However, do I have the right to not be recorded upon request?

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

Posted by StuffinMuffin 863 Rider Driver in Tips from Rideshare Experts & Bloggers (46 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 …

Can a parent order Uber or Lyft for a teenager? My kids?

Posted by JessMin99 148 in Ask a RideGuru (84 comments ) 1 guru answer

Is that legit? or better yet, legal? I am not breaking the terms of using the Uber account as I am the one with the account and credite card. I have three children and I'd love to utilize Uber or Lyft. Safe too.
