kerja collector banyak menyusahkan... always need to explain why the rider need to pay more. sometimes rider reluctantly pay and give me a 1 star at the expense of another driver. fucuk betul!

I had the same experience before with Arab customers. They refuse to pay the cancellation fee. End up, I request fare review, and Uber pay in the statement

Honestly, this cash cancellation fee system will affect rating for driver who become the collector haizz..
*
yes i agree with u. many times i find my rating drop because of this cancellation fee system in cash. if it's credit card, it wouldn't happen because driver no need to argue with the rider.

nowadays more and more riders using cash than credit cards. worst case is that they do a short trip of RM5 and give me RM100 note to change.... rclxub.gif

Dude, not this way. If the Uber apps detected you did not go through a toll road, then tolls will not be added into the fare. Similar if the rider inputs KLIA, but decided to stop at Putrajaya, will he be charged KLIA fare? No right./
*
i experience that before.... rider from sri kembangan goes to putrajaya to pick his dad and later go to KLIA.

uber will count the ride from sri kembangan to putrajaya and later to KLIA. driver will lose out because of the distance and time.

What you should do is end the trip at putrajaya, ask the rider to re-request to KLIA. Last time I kena, from Cheras to Bukit Bintang, one time from Cheras to Petaling Street, then, to KLIA. End the trip, then, ask rider to re-request.
*
it only happen to me once. even if i ask the rider to request again from Putrajaya, the fare is no more flat fare of RM75. so going back to calculation, still can't earn much.

feel bad for you guyz. 25% comm by uber.

im still with 20% comm. very long time, loyal uber driver since last year.
*
mine is 20% too.

last time when driving uber is damn syiok.... all credit card payments. and if do 10 trips per week, guaranteed incentive of RM100. Base fare, time and mileage per km also higher. Some more got Uber 10% service fee returned from the total weekly fare collected.

Goyang kaki do 10 trips per week and 40 trips per month can easily net in RM1,300 a month.

those were the days.... sigh....

I have some issue with the boost and they told me even if we seen our location within the boosted area, it maybe not counted. Met with such cases twice.

Another wrong calculation case when I submitted fare review. 5 person rode on the car while they only requested for Uber X. The fare had been adjusted but they didn't add in the boost. Asked few times and the final answer I got : The calculation was made by system, not human.

Urrrgghhhh!

uber drivers have to right to reject if there are more than 4 riders.

i think if the person is 6 ft tall and weigh about 100kg and he is alone, he can still fit into the viva.

unless there are 4 of them, than u can reject.

Mine was 20%. When I started off, not as early as juicyliana, mine started in late 2015 got lots of incentives, dunno how much incentives if you complete dunno how many trip within first week, then, second week, another round of incentives. Then, u complete I think 30 trips, no time limit, another RM100 incentives.

Then, the fare that time was higher, I think min rate already RM1.50, with RM0.95 per km and no cash payments. So, all riders are civil and courteous, coz they only heard of Uber if there been to overseas, Uber is totally new concept here in Malaysia. Plus, u definitely want to well behave when Uber got all your credit card and personal details. There is also no those stupid RM5 promo whatsover, those short, less than 1km trip definitely not heard off. And, the rules of 5km radius was strictly enforce by Uber system, they won't simply send u ping for god knows where jungle, far away request due to that you are the nearest avaialble driver. So, it really enjoy to drive, leisure drive, less demand, easily every week, can get RM300-RM500 with just driving about 4-5 hours a day (coz less demand mar  biggrin.gif ) and all these excluding incentives, like PHG (now replaced with boost). My day, usually start on the apps, wait for ping, then, pick up, send, and then, go home and lepak again wait for another ping, if there is no ping after drop off and on my way back home.

Then, they decide to slash fare to start rate RM0.95 and RM0.60. Demand start pick up, gone the days that I can do as above, sometime, demand so much until no time to go pee. Even before drop off, another ping come in. Ok lah, still fine with me, as no lost to me mar, i calculated, still same cost, plus also that time petrol still ok lah, around RM1.70 I think. Ok lah, I think, plus it still non cash payment mar, so, another advantage, no risk being mugged or rob, Uber had all riders details, and their customer service still top notch, reply within 1 hour. I can just go out drive with just my license and IC. Or maybe credit card, in case I need to pump petrol.

Then, they decide to introduce cash payment. Lots of drivers protest, many stop driving altogether. The issue is that now, drivers need to carry cash around, risk of being mugged, being robbed. Registration is so simple, buy a prepaid card, register as new rider, opt for cash payment. No trace at all if anything happen. Touchwood, I am still fine, not being robbed or mugged then, but, occassionally of riders not paying full fare. But, at least that time, uber customer service still ok, they will refund u the differences. First they said, only about 20% of riders preferred cash, 80% still remain card. And, since I long time no drive, I leave this argument to existing drivers. But, then, the hassle of carry cash and coins  shakehead.gif

Then, it all the way down the drain, they got more arrogant (you may want to scrolled back the thread, read those written by Uber representative here, UberMY who cannot take criticism and abandoned and not coming here anymore biggrin.gif , and introduction of RM5 off promo fare, remove the 5km radius policy, so long as you are the nearest available driver, you will get ping even the rider is 20km away (and I suspected they even played around with their apps, showing a lower wait time in rider apps, and definitely shorter time in driver apps, as the eta time in partner apps is always shorter if you compare to waze, but, I give benefits of doubts, maybe the apps stupid, not take into consideration of traffic jam and just straight line, like you opposite of PLUS highway, the apps will show u that you arrived, but, you need to find nearest toll exit to u-turn back). Plus, more and more idiotic riders, as it mentioned earlier, these riders don't know what is UberX (thanks to Uber promoting it as another form of taxi  doh.gif ) but cannot afford or too cheap to request for UberBlack. Request and never turn up, or take their own sweet time to reach you where the pick up location is shopping mall or pub (ie changkat bukit bintang) where you can't wait, too dumb to give right location but complain you take too long to reach them after you confirmed the righr address.

And, the final nail to the coffin, they introduce the fixed fare, which make them no different from Grab, end up, you lose if you stuck in jam. And, their fixed fare calculation is so secretive, till now, no one can dephiper it how the fare is determine. So, for the drivers out there, you just driving blindly, you would not know where your rider is going nor you know what will be the fare. You may drive 10km away to pick up the riders just for 500m ride, because they got RM5 promo.
You must have not calculated the cost of uber income versus the cost of running/ driving uber. Anyway, once you drive long enuff, you will realised you won't earn anything, maybe 1 cup of teh tarik plus 1 roti canai for your effort. Unless you want to consider meeting new people, driving around new places consider as benefits which can offset driving Uber lah  biggrin.gif

I can't say much about Grab, but, I guess it won't far off. Conclusion is that driving Uber/ Grab is the lowest, last resort for me to sustain myself and if I really bored, nothing to do.
Well said  thumbsup.gif

But, with the 20% idiots, it's spoilt the mood. Although all job in all industries bound to be some idiots (that's the human evolution, slowly those idiots will extinct, but, till then, got to live with it  biggrin.gif ), why would anyone want to drive Uber/ Grab for full time, when, the income is low, might as well find a higher paying income generating when you can't run away from dealing with these idiots?  biggrin.gif

Anyway, everyone have their own reason for driving, and I do like your reason too, but, I could not agree that driving Uber can earn cigarratte and lunch money lor after deducting the cost. Plus, dealing with 20% of the idiots, nah, I rather not to, if possible  laugh.gif Enjoy your drive bro

Before the base rate was slashed to RM1.50, it was RM2. riders are still able to accept RM2 because it is much cheaper than the usual taxi. riders that make multiple stops or want their drivers to wait while they run their errants, drivers are way more happier that time because we're paid to wait. Sometimes during rainy days, with the high surge and higher fares, really easy money.

KLIA trips used to be RM90 and there were no short trips riders because with the higher fares, it weeds out lazy riders.

if the car's insurance has your name registered in it, a valid malaysian driving license, you can walk into UBER PSC and try to sign up.

Do take note that in KLIA, u may need to wait a fair bit to get a rider back. Since Uber has introduced the FIFO system, it's better and more fair to other uber drivers.

Last week when i was in KLIA waiting for a trip back, the app showed that my car queue is 90-100 cars. i knew there won't be 100 uber drivers there and i turned on both grab and uber rider app. there were about 10 uber cars and 20 grab cars. i waited 40 minutes to get a rider back.

since u got time to kill, u can try that out.
