Looking for advice, please be kind.

So, i drive for Uber, i have never selected the option of coverage they offer for loss of work or whatever it says, but i have insurance and ride share added. I just got released from the hospital, my injuries are not dyer, but i am hurting bad, my knee is swollen and left side with left arm. Doctor did no xrays or anything major done since nothing is broken and i can move, maybe a contusion i have. My passenger is ok, thank God, and did leave the scene.

I dont know what to do.

I just found out the person who hit me did not have insurance...He was cited by the officer on scene and car impounded.

I have rent due next week, and other bills.I dont want to get deactivated by Uber if i get a lawyer and i need to figure out how to rent their cars or find me a new car, which, again, i need the insurance claim.

My car that was wrecked tonight is financed and has 4k left on it, about a year and half, a Corolla LE 2020, i have had this car for almost 6 years.

I just got home, hospital couldnt give me a ride since i am 30 minutes away from the area i live in. Had to get an Uber home since i have no family and no help.

I am in Dallas, Texas. Should i contact an attorney? I have dashcam of this person hitting me, its on my page if you would like to view it.

Thank you in advance for any advice and help. I know i will report this.in the morning with Uber since there were so many glitches in trying to when it happened earlier tonight.

Finally had my first genuinely bad, potentially dangerous ride. Mostly my fault for ignoring every red flag.

Got a pickup at a bar. Pulled up to find a guy being "handled" by bouncers. Guess who my rider was? Yep. Apparently, the bar ordered him an Uber just to get rid of him.

But hey, $2/mile for a quick 7-mile trip. Easy money, right?

Guy gets in, can't tell me the name on the ride, and gets pissed when I ask. Bouncer confirms it's him. Before we're even out of the parking lot, he's asked me for money twice. Reeks of weed and alcohol.

I keep driving because it's only 7 miles. Dumbass decision #2.

The entire ride he's digging through my passenger snacks and bitching about EVERYTHING. My car, the scent, the road, you name it.

We arrive, and he refuses to get out. Instead, he starts stuffing his pockets with snacks until he physically can't fit anymore. Then demands I apologize for "making him uncomfortable."

Finally told him, "Bro, get the fuck out or I'm calling the police."

He gets out, tries to steal my tablet that's MOUNTED to the back of the passenger seat, hurts his finger in the process (dumbass), says he's gonna get me fired, kicks my door shut, then THIS MF STARTS CHASING MY CAR as I pull away.

All because I thought $2/mile was worth ignoring the obvious.

Oh, and he left his phone, vape, and grinder in my car.

They're at the police station. ::sip::

Support was immediately contacted both because of the behavior and the threat. Support was actually pretty chill about it and gave me a vague "measures will be taken" reaponse. Record My Ride and my own camera recorded the whole interaction.

Fuck Uber, shit update after shit update. I don’t give a fuck, pay more if you want me to pick up food. $2 isn’t cutting it.

How's gas in your area?

...is that apparently some people forget that they make them.

Airport run, 3:25 AM, 40 miles, 55 minutes, $65. Hell yeah, I'm taking that, I don't care how tired I am. I got there at 3:19. Double checked the address, house was pitch black. Backed in the driveway and counted down. The timer hit 10:01, cancelled, logged off, and left for home.

Hope you made your flight, "Scott." Actually, I don't give a shit. Learn to set an alarm. I was kind of hoping you'd walk out with your bags with three seconds left so you had to watch me pull out of your driveway.

I'm personally prepared to call every day until I see this being covered by the news.

Feel free to belittle me for the use of AI to make this flyer, idgaf anymore. I refuse to let them get away with their scams. The bot they use to report issues with orders is not sufficient or efficient and results in loss of funds for drivers as well as the customers who use these services.

It’s always price too low. I’m not driving 20 minutes to make $5.

South Florida Uber driver here — the one who's been pushing the Florida Rideshare Driver Fairness Act (pay floor, 30% cap on the company's cut, fare transparency, deactivation appeals). Here's where things stand, and then a real ask at the end.

WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THE STUDY DROPPED

The Columbia study (1.8M real trip offers) put Orlando at $3.18/hr after costs — lowest of 16 cities. Since then:

• I submitted written testimony to the DC Council for their for-hire reform bill, and a follow-up on something most of us have seen in the app but never questioned: the "estimated commercial auto insurance" line in the fare breakdown. Uber's own app text admits it "does not reflect insurance expenses incurred on individual trips." A Consumer Watchdog analysis of Uber's SEC filings describes the risk as roughly 95% self-funded through Uber's own captive insurer — and one report put that "insurance" slice at around 20% of what the rider pays. Draw your own conclusions; I did.

• I filed the same material with the FTC, which has opened an industry-wide inquiry into personalized pricing and worker compensation. Its order asks, among other things, what share of each payment the platforms keep versus what drivers earn.

• After the November 3 election, I contacted every Florida legislator on our list — congratulated the ones who won, thanked the ones leaving, and introduced the bill to the brand-new members. I'll be honest: the first representative whose office really engaged with us lost her seat. That stings. But direct sponsorship asks are now sitting in front of two state senators, November is when offices pick their bills, and the session starts in March.

THE ASK

I've carried this about as far as one driver with a laptop can carry it. It moves faster with more of us. If you're a Florida driver willing to help push, here's what actually helps:

1. Contact your own state rep and senator — a driver in THEIR district lands different than me emailing all of them. I'll give you the exact short script I use.

2. Post your worst fare split — rider price vs. your pay. That's the evidence that makes this real.

3. Show up (by phone counts) when offices agree to talk. Offices notice when more than one driver calls.

Comment your city if you're in. If you're in another state, the FTC inquiry is national, and so is the model we're pushing — one federal floor, adjusted for local costs and gas prices.

We're not asking for charity. We're asking for a floor under honest work.

I know a ton of you hate reservations request, but I plan my day around them and every since I had an accident in my Cadillac lyric which was my previous Uber driving car I switched to a 2025 Hyundai ionic five and now I do not get reservation requests.

Any suggestions on how mate continue to get reservation request?

Accepted a decent $10 ride for 4 miles. Went to the pickup and Uber takes me to the back parking lot of a hotel and yet the pick up pin is on train tracks randomly in the woods. Customer not answering and timer for cancelling not starting because of where the pin is and supposedly I’m “not at the pickup spot” so do I just cancel and take a hit?

Male US Uber drivers, what's your rating? I've done around 440 rides and mine is around 4.90. Is that bad?

WTF is up with yuppies in Southie who don’t tip. Every. Single. One.

I left the time on the screenshots. First to last, five minutes apart. It would've taken me longer to drive there.

I’m still relatively new to Uber driving & I just had something really weird happened to me that I’m really confused about. I live in a college town & I picked up a kid I could tell was pretty inebriated, but he wasn’t rude or anything. His name was Ethan, or that’s what it said on the app when I picked him up anyway. About halfway through the ride, once we got back over to campus, I noticed it said “rider cancelled” so I said “Ethan Did you accidentally cancel the ride?” To which he strangely replied “ My name is not Ethan, It’s Jack.” I didn’t know what to do., so I simply pulled over and told him to have a good night & he started laughing, jumped out, & slammed my door. Because he cancelled, I didn’t get a chance to give him a low rating to help warn other drivers. Did I just lose the entire fare for that trip? Do I have any recourse with this?

Lately Uber is sending the wrong coordinates to Google Maps and is way off. Sometimes going to another city. Just noticed that lately.

I drive in the quad cities and not in Chicago. I did deliver a few times in Chicago while I was in chicago. How can I get this back?

Any drivers from Portland OR? I am trying to get signed up and I am struggling to complete the instructions Uber gives for registering with the city. I have reached out to both Portland Gov and Uber Help and still stuck. I am trying to make some extra cash to support my family during these hard times and could use someone's help. Can someone message me or reply to this thread? Thanks in advance.
