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.

My daughters Prom was Saturday May 19th, I scheduled a Uber Black SUV a week before the Prom to pick up her and her date. At the very last minute we received a message saying there were no SUV's available. We tried for almost an hour to reach someone to get a vehicle. This ruined my daughters Prom, we had to ask a neighbor if they would mind taking them to the Prom. I find this to be so unprofessional. They ended up getting to the Prom about 1 1/2 hour late, missed meeting up with some of their friends to take group pictures. Never once have we received an apology for ruining my daughters special night. I would think twice about scheduling an Uber for any occasion.

Visiting Canada but drivers can't speak English so theres an immediate communication barrier which is not good in a foreign country.

The driver never looked for me; 2 minutes are up. I tried to cancel, then found him. He didn't take me but was billed anyway.

2 minutes is never enough time to identify a drivver. No signage on their cars... terrible service.

Beware. Bad business model. Take a taxi instead.

How much you can make depends on where you drive. If you drive in or near a big city like Philadelphia you can probably make a decent income. But it you live and drive in Delaware you can expect less than $80 a week. As a Uber driver I have waited whole days for a passenger pickup and NOTHING!

As a driver I thought Uber was a great company, until I was in an accident. That is when you will find out what a lousy company they really are. Because you are using you own vehicle they suspended my account did absolutely nothing to help me get back on the road or assist me in getting a rental car. Uber non customer service is a real joke they where a useless piece of garbage. They have a 1000 dollar deductibe you have to pay to speed up the process and they tell you the will go after the other carries insurance company.It will be 20 days before my car is fixed.

HUGE WARNING TO UBER USERS! I will never use UBER again - every time I tried to add my home address, it would find it on the map and then when I would try and add it to my favorites, it kept adding a different address with the same street name in Toronto. I live north of Ottawa 4.5 hours away! But that wasn't clear from their app because on the list of favorites it only shows the street name and not the town. When I first got in the Uber car, the guy went WOW, you want a drive from here to Toronto... that's 4.5 hrs. He had to manually enter the address in his system. Then when I selected a 15% tip at the end of the trip, it calculated it on a fair for the original 4.5 hour trip. The $62 flashed by and I said wait a minute. It can't be that much? He should me that the fair was $14 on his system and Uber only adds 20% so it will be less than $20. I said are you sure? He said yes. I felt dumb because it was only the second time I had used Uber so got out. After he left, I double checked my phone and saw that yes the fair was $20 but a tip of $62 was added even though I chose the 15% tip option. It must have calculated it on the original 4.5 hour fair. Now they will only give me a credit on my Uber account and NOT a refund on my card. On top of that his car was old and rattled although he was nice enough. The whole experience was bad. BEWARE!

Don't use UBER
April 30, 2018

I would never use UBER again. Driver was unprofessional he took wrong direction tried to drive me to other state. UBER charged me for that services I never used, I tried to contact them but no one returned my money back for that services I never used but they charged until i contacted to my credit card. I really disappointed and i would never use UBER again. I would suggest people to think twice if they need such a service.

WORST ROUTES!
April 20, 2018

Uber takes the WORST routes! They will take you in circles, then bring you back to your starting point to pick up another rider to make $2. LYFT is no better! Cant wait for more competitors to join the market. Maybe then theyll take their customers best interests into consideration.

How about I took uber about 6x and got a vehicle and uber continue to charge my credit cards that was on file. They have no real contact information so I am filing a claim against them for my money I dont care if it only 16 dollars... I believe in fairness and honesty... so I am filing... they arent helping the customer but instead cheating the customer... and yet would have so questions on their site stating pick one you were drop off at the wrong location or your driver was lost no and no you took my money in my account when I didnt use you at all. Thanks and you have a good day@#$%^%$

A joke
April 12, 2018

Driver got lost, could not find us. He was dressed like a junkie, Made U turns, drove us unsafely in an old, dirty car. In the end we were overcharged.
Next time we were in Chicago, we just booked through a local limo company with great service and reasonable prices

Thank you for refunding the cancellation charge. And as I said, my first rides withUber have been a pleasure.
Now my more serious concern is being in physical danger when a driver cancels my ride home without warning or cause, will not allow me to re-schedule a ride, and leaves me stranded again, at night, far from home, anywhere in Cuyahoga County. Is there a solution for this very real danger?

Scam
March 19, 2018

The drivers constantly cancel and charge late fees. Customer service is only reachable through the app (no phone #), and they're useless.

The little money potentially saved isn't worth the hassle, from what used to be an OK company and idea. SMH.

Garbage
March 18, 2018

I've already left a bad review on the app but since their a Trump supporting company and to stupid to know how to make their crap work I can't edit it. I'm a traumatic brain injury person who almost fell 3 times on my way home because they can't give you a proper estimate of their drivers and I had to walk home in below freezing temperatures without a jacket. Their app is just bloatware and they think just because they support the illegitimate president they are safe from public opinion! If you are reading this and have a android, do yourself a favor and get the lyft app!

Driver, driver, driver
February 22, 2018

It would be a bit unfair to many other great uber drivers i have met but i was getting really angry after some of the drivers cancelled my trips. Damn, they are suck. Seriously, my stupid drivers were $#*!ing crazy. He called me to ask me where i was, i told him the pick up point i was standing at but because i was in the other side of the road, i tried to tell him that but he talked to me in his broken english with an aggressive voice. He didnt even notice the name of the streets i tried to tell him and misheard what i was saying. He hung up the phone without saying anything and i realised that he was in the wrong direction and i tried to contact him but he didnt pick up the phone. After a while he cancelled my trip. Suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I am too sick of these types of uber drivers. Plz recruiting and tracking your driver selectively.

In Salt Lake City my destination was changed after I entered uber car. I confirmed with uber driver my requested destination at my pickup location. Then again when he passed the street I going to. He took me to the location on app that I had not requested. I jumped out of the car fearing for my life. Do not drive off with any car service without seeing your requested destination on their app.

Ubers refund policy is a joke; dont waste your time. I had a very legitimate claim and Uber has been sending me back and forth numerous emails for just 16 dollar and they will just play you around. I always thought Uber is a reputable reliable company until today when i tried the service and realized how much they are fraudulent and their site designed to steal people money.

Credit card fraud
January 30, 2018

Used Uber Eats 1 time in Atlanta GA, now my card has been used for other transactions to Uber. No way to let Uber know the possibility of their drivers selling credit information. Will never use this service again!

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR CREDIT CARD. I set up their app just so I would have it handy and had to give them my credit card to do so. Months later I got a charge from them even though I never used them. I called their customer service and got a recording saying the number was out of service. I called the number from my credit card charge and was told to leave a message on their web site.
