Uber Reviews Summary

Uber's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from a perceived lack of reliable customer service and transparency in pricing. Many customers express frustration over unexpected charges, inadequate support during issues, and poor communication from drivers and the company itself. Positive feedback is scarce, with some drivers noting satisfactory earnings and enjoyable interactions with passengers. However, the overwhelming sentiment highlights a need for improved customer care and accountability, as many users report feeling abandoned and undervalued, leading to a growing trend of customers seeking alternatives to Uber's services.

Fraud
August 2, 2022

Uber is price gauging. I ordered a 10 minute trip that was $10. Then suddenly upon completion was charged $44. Customer Service is Terrible. Need more Honest Competitors that have upfront price & not Rip off working ppl. UBER is a Greedy Company

Scammers.
August 1, 2022

An error with the Uber app caused the multiplier not to show, ended up paying over £90 for what would normally be a £20 trip - rang up support who offered to remove the surge charge (but only offered to refund £30? Not the £70 difference) this was over 6 weeks ago. Still like no sign of any refund. Overall service is disgusting.

Driver
July 29, 2022

I drive for Uber. I also use the service. You will always come across some sort of trouble with them. Not reimbursing for rowdy messy passengers, over-priced surges and rides. I could go on to be honest and Im not even a negative guy. But it has gotten ridiculous. Lyft is not perfect but I am permanently for them and against Uber. Also, a buddy of mine was treated so unfairly by the Uber team when he had to pay a bunch of money to fix legitimate scratches on his caused by a drunk passenger and they said "this doesn't classify for something warranting reimbursement". And he was going through a very hard time financially at the time. So ridiculous. From a company that has so much and cannot give the rightful help to their hardworking driver that makes them so much money. It is absolutely inexcusable and I am down to send waves now until Uber feels it.

DIVER PULLED OFF AS I WAS EXITING THE CAR
July 28, 2022

Passed by my stop three times. Time frame went from 10 min, 13, to 15. Flagged her down, yet she used across the street to turn around I had to tap the back of the car for her not to hit me. Finally stopped in a puddle of water then suggest I have a talk with God about the rain. When I informed her that she was passing my stop she kept going so I waited for her to stop then I told her I am getting out here and opened the door to begin getting out and she peeled off with half my body out the car to were it yanked and spinned me around a little.
So I'm walking around to my building to clock in soaked and wet she drives around, get out the car, shouted then peeled off again.
I am seeking legal advice.

We took 3 Uber rides this evening. We waited a while for our 1st 2 rides but understand no one has enough workers these days. We waited 2 hours for our last ride of the night and finally called a taxi. It was a lot of money but at least we got back. We would have happily paid Uber more if it would have meant getting a ride from them

Restaurants beware
July 23, 2022

The worst company I have traded with. If u use Uber for your restaurant to deliver food. Beware, as soon as a customer puts a complaint in, even if you are 100%certain the order was correct they will still refund the customer. A lot of customers know they will be refunded by putting a false complaint in, u are better off with just eat and deliveroo

Terrible service
July 19, 2022

At SFO, 1st driver says cannot pick me up. Ok so i summon a 2cnd driver who takes 30 mins to get me and I'm only going 1.5 miles. I could have walked faster. No 800 customer srv number nor does their app let you reach them. I filled out something and hit submit-never sent. And in SF where uber began! Borderline stupid app, terrible service. Cancelling my account.
DON'T USE THEM! Wasted almost 90min to do all this for a 1.5 mile ride. Hot charged cancel fee of 5 bucks too for 1st inept driver. I hope uber sees this. Love the "law" bull$#*! language below. No bull$#*! here. Poor service no doubt.

Was called the N word and homosexual slurs by driver who appeared to be on drugs and Uber gave me a 5 dollar credit and said they would "talk to" the driver, I am assuming because they felt the same way and support this behavior. Worst company ever!

Changed my destination during an Uber ride to half the distance, yet price was not cut in half. Asked the driver how to contact Uber, she could not help me use the app. She tried to use her app to contact her supervisor, no answer. Makes me feel very unsafe when I cannot contact a business that I am giving money to.

The pay is not enough for the trips when you make delivery the app doesn't always work then you have to return the items and they only gave $5 even if you drove 20min away it's definitely not worth the stress

So on July 7,2022 I requested for an Uber from work to home and had have been doing this for a week never had a problem until today. So this morning I go on the app to request a ride to work, and wouldn't let me process the ride due to the fact that Uber says I owe for $26.31 for the pervious day stating my payment did not go through. Which is a lie because,. This is where I'm confused because of my payment didn't go through how I get an Uber? From my understanding of you do not have the funds for an Uber you can't get one. So how did the Uber take me home yesterday and now I owe. That make no sense. So i tried to call Uber this morning trying to rectify the situation and come to find out that their 800 number does not deal with complanits you have to use the app chat. 1st of I never dealt with a place that doesn't resolve issues by phone. Secondly the Uber app is horrible! No direction of where to go took me 15 mins to accidentally stumble on the chat. So I finally was able to chat with someone only to find their no help either. I was told to send a snapshot of my bank statement showing the request and money taking out for the Uber which I did. For them to tell me someone will email me back about this. Nobody has emailed me about resolving this situation yet! I'm not a satisfied customer the customer experience was totally horrible on the phone and chat. It's sucks because I use Uber often especially at work to order me something to eat. But after this experience I was go back to using doordash. Uber u definitely need a customer service number where customer can get their issues resolved a lot quicker than trying to use the app which is horrible! This is the worst customer experience I have ever experienced with any company ever!

I am new to Hyderabad and here to cover distance between office and home is near 6-7 kms. Uber charges that are shown while booking the cab/auto show high compared to other apps also when you book cab/auto then on purpose all auto/cab drivers takes very long route to reach destination and says it's the app fault that showed long route and end up charging you a lot than the actual fare you initially booked the cab/auto on. This happened twice with me within 2 weeks. Even after dropping compliant on app itself none improvement were made. Terrible services and cheats people for extra money. Utter disappointment!

I have a duplicate account issue ever since Postmates merged. I have been told over 20 times to log into my original account, even though I would send every message through my original account. They don't even read my messages, they repeat the same thing to me, over and over again. I called them a month ago, waited on the phone for 2+ hours, the technician appealed my account and said it'll be ready in a few business days. Still waiting…. All the Uber agents should be fired for not reading customer messages. I've never seen anything like this.
