  What is the "cleaning fees" and "vomit" SCAM by Uber drivers? Should I be concerned? How do I avoid them?

  Posted by KWalkins in Rideshare Scams (25 comments )   1 guru answer

  I heard from my nephew that Uber drives are sometimes so desperate to make money that they would randomly charge cleaning fees for no reason whatsoever.  Is this true?  What can I do to stop it or make sure it doesn't happen.

  RIDERS: What are some of your reasons for not tipping a driver?

  Posted by momof4 6502 Rider Driver in Ask the Riders (24 comments )

  As a rider there are various reasons for taking Uber/Lyft. Here are some of the reasons riders gave me. DUI, suspended license,  dont want to drink & drive, lease car dont want to put miles on, dont have a car, cheaper than parking, and dont want to risk accident in bad weather, public transportation stinks in my area, cheaper, cleaner, more convenient then a cab.  They are saving you money, no risk to your car during inclement weather, no risk for you getting in accident if drinking & driving & saving you from DUI or worse.  If driver is ...

  How is it not a security threat and a risk and a privacy issue that people can see Uber drivers real-time?

  Posted by MaisieCy89 Driver in Ask the Drivers (10 comments )

  I have always felt uneasy about my location being known whenever I am online (in Uber app).  I feel this information is not necessary for passengers, and it is a major risk  the drivers are incurring.

  Uber Exploring Autonomous Bikes and Scooters [TechCrunch]

  Posted by chawes 624 Rider Guru in Emerging Technology (8 comments )

  Pretty wild. Scooters that can drive themselves to their charging stations, and redistribute themselves to wherever they are needed. So soon we'll all be dodging these as we drive around town...https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/20/uber-is-exploring-autonomous-bikes-and-scooters/

  What can your riders do to make your life a little easier?

  Posted by fpressly 4059 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (9 comments )

  Make themselves readily findable. Help the driver to find them quickly and easily by text or calling. Treat the driver with the same dignity and respect they would like to be shown. Be personable and reasonable in your demands. Recognize the driver as an individual trying desperately to get ahead of their status quo and needing uplifting and encouragement just like the next guy. Tip ride share drivers like they are a bartender or restaurant wait staff. Believe me they have far more personal expenses driving this vehicle and responsibilities for your safety than either of those groups and you ...

  Rideshare Lawsuit

  Posted by sputnikno6 Driver in Ask the Drivers (8 comments )

  Hi everyone,I’ve been seeing these lawsuit topics pop up on Facebook and in my email regarding some wages legalities concerning ride share drivers being contractors but there being some issues of compensation, overtime, and benefits that might be owed to us.  I just wanted to get my fellow drivers’ thoughts on the issue and if you’ve done anything.One of the ads on Facebook was for Zimmerman Reed LLC. And they’re asking for 40% of the total which seems steep to me. What do you think?

  uber $10 off

  Posted by SandraCarter in Ask a RideGuru (0 comments )

  I clicked on the link for the $10 off for new users and signed up on my laptop, then it said almost done, now get the app.  I had already downloaded the app on my phone a few minutes before but not used it, so I opened it.  I'm not seeing a way to get those 5 $2 coupons.

  For those of you who drive in cold weather cities what do you do to keep your car clean?

  Posted by momof4 6502 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (7 comments )

  Its freezing here in Philly. My Honda Pilot is black but now decorated with white spots and splashes. I've tried waterless car wash spray. It helps but its too cold to stand outside to use it. Can you please share what you use during the winter months? Or can you take it somewhere to be washed where your doors and windows will not be frozen shut?  To make it more difficult if you have such a place, is it expensive?

  As a Driver, will you buy Uber or Lyft stock when it becomes available?

  Posted by Wes 1263 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (16 comments )

  It appears both Lyft (which has already initiated the paperwork to go Public) and now Uber is rushing to follow, will go public in 2019.  This means stock will be available to anyone that can afford to invest.Which begs the question - will you, as a driver that truly understands how Uber/Lyft operate, be willing (assuming you're financially capable) to invest in Uber or Lyft stock?  Do you feel it's a good long term investment, and if so, why?As a driver myself, I certainly appreciate that anyone driving Uber/Lyft full time as a primary source ...

  As a driver what are some of the dumbest questions or comments a pax has made?

  Posted by fpressly 4059 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (9 comments )

  I had a passenger climb in the back with a laptop in tow. She was laboriously typing away with the hunt and peck skills of a novice. I asked her what she was typing and she responded "resume". A few minutes of silence passed and she looked confused, peering at the keyboard and sighing deep sighs of frustration. I asked her what was the problem. She responded, the app says "Press any key to continue" and I have looked over this keyboard a hundred times and I swear I don't see an "ANY" key. "Do you  know which one ...

  As a driver or passenger, have you experienced any thing during a rider share experience that REALLY made you angry? I mean ready to pop mad!

  Posted by fpressly 4059 Rider Driver in Unleash Your Anger (20 comments )

  One of my rideshare vehicles is a Cadillac six door limousine. I drive UberSelect and UberBlack. Many times when I am out and about, I see people walking. Sometimes way out in the middle of yonder. I hate to see anyone walk and many times I will pull over and ask if they want a ride somewhere within ten miles. Six out of ten are either “just hiking somewhere” or “out for exercise”. The other 4 are either going to a store or are on their way to or from a heartbreak. Then there is the one that is running ...

  What do you do with your time while you wait for the ping?

  Posted by fpressly 4059 Rider Driver in Ask the Drivers (10 comments )

  I've been at this for a few years now and I still look for new and interesting ways to make my wait time quality time. I have found doing good deeds is a fulfilling past time that never gets old. Giving someone the occasional ride is easy, getting in the trenches takes a little more oomph! But really, there is nothing like bringing a smile to someone's face when you solve a problem instantly, which to them may have seemed enormous or even insurmountable just ten minutes ago. That brings real joy. I have two ride share vehicles ...
