If you are contemplating driving for Uber in NJ, think again... maybe 3x. Ask around. All I know from my experience as a driver for three months with 500 trips under my belt and a 4.8 rating... be very very circumspect before leasing a car. What they do is rope you in as a driver with decent pay for two weeks... then wham... they cut the fares in half. Let me ask you as a logical human being... can a driver who has usually a car payment of at least $600 per month... plus insurance...(unless the ins. Co finds out you drive for Uber and then presto... drops you like a rusty safe in the river) plus gas, and wear and tear on the car driver 10-15 minutes for $3... well that is the fare they pay. Also if you happen to drive to Manhattan... and they take out $20 for toll and charge the customer... and then only pay you $8-15 on top of that to drop off the customer before you have to drive through traffic to get back into NJ to accept another fare which usually takes at least an hour... do you think that is a good usage of time and good pay? You see what Uber is doing is trying to show Wall Street (Watch "The Big Short"- very appropo for Uber) the huge rider base. The problem is that the drivers are dropping out like flies because they can not afford to drive. I know as I have picked up many ex drivers recounting the same experience. Wall St... which incidentally I used to work for years ago for almost two decades... is about to have a rude awakening when they see the market valuation Uber claims of $63 bill. -even though they lost over $467 mill in 2015-from a confidential source yours truly picked up devulged-is nothing more than specious and a "house of cards". Now Uber's PR will tell you how wonderful it is to slash fares all in order to be more busy for the drivers but don't believe a word they say. It is because they are burning through drivers faster than the INDIE speedway all in order to keep riders happy. Good luck people in your decision but know that you had better do your homework before you get involved in such an exploitive outfit. BE DAMN CAREFUL.

Uber is a horrible partner. Dropped its price again for the third time in less than two years and now I'm driving for chump change they want 5 star service for 1 star pay and the math just not working out. Furthermore they have partnered with local dealerships whereas they are taking advantage of people's economic situations leasing cars for outrageous amounts before nobody with bad credit could get approved now that Uber is on the scene miraculously any Uber driver can get approved which begs me to wonder just how sleezy the banks and dealerships are. Uber is a viper taking advantage of a certain demographic low income not educated driver trying to feed there families people say " Nobody is forcing you." and to that I say " And nobody is forcing me to feed my kids either."
Don't drive for Uber they are $#*!s period!

My first ride in an Uber ride with my coworker. Our driver Jeffrey (LM*******) was very professional. He opened our doors for us. Vehicle was fresh and clean. We called Uber to take us to our cars that are parked at Cornwell Heights Station because the Regional Trenton Line was cancelled due to a fire. Very enjoyable ride. I was very impressed. Also had bottles of water, mints, gum for refreshments. Even music was too our taste. I will definitely be calling Uber again.

This is the 3rd time uber drivers have cancelled my journey and then when I reorder price has mysteriously gone up 3x.

It is a joke and it ends up cheaper using a normal minicab, £28 instead of £60.

Uber"s software is terrible and full of bugs. Sometime you can't delete a ride. It will e fill in your home for you. Sometimes in a different city. The estimated arrival time is a joke. It told be the car would be here in 7 minutes. When I checked 15 mins later it told me the car would be here in 20 more minutes. Keying in a destination, über will enter house numbers wrong. You can not book rides in advance. The drivers complain about uber as well. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. WITH UBER. They are a ripoff!
