This trip is literally 4 miles.

Demoralizing. The are killing me here.

What the heck is Wait & Save? How does it appear for the drivers?

Posted by AngieKM169 115 Rider in Angry Drivers (3 comments )

This option started showing up for me late 2020. It may have been there for longer but I never saw it before. I honestly am not sure what to make of this because I never really know how much I am willing to wait. I mean, has there been some expectation before as to how quickly a driver is supposed to show up? Some kind of an SLA? I don't remember there being any. 10 minutes? 20 minutes? Is there some kind of threshold as to when something becomes a wait & save? It feels pretty obscure to me and …

I am asking the current Uber drivers, but anyone's welcome.

Is there any way of requesting a female driver?

Posted by 5thlament Driver in Ask a Driver (0 comments )

My daughter is 18 and autistic and needs a ride to the airport from Friendswood TX. She has flown numerous times alone since they were 14 but this is the first time we haven’t had a friend or relative to provide transport to the airport. She is extremely nervous about their safety and will only feel comfortable with a female driver. Is there anyway of scheduling a female driver through Uber, lyft, and any other service outside of paying big bucks for a hired driver/limo service?

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

Posted by StuffinMuffin 843 Driver Rider in Tips from Rideshare Experts & Bloggers (31 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 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 (60 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?
