what?

Sorry, currently on trial, on selective driver only. Maybe later only will rollout....but you can enquire from Grab if they can offered it to you.....it a white mice test thingy

Lel.....usually I just wear some round-neck t-shirt and slippers only.....with jeans lah....unless I am too lazy, at night, then, I just wear shorts

So long as I comfortable, as I will hardly out from car, except few occassion to assist them to take their luggage or groceries in or out from boot.

But, I notice wearing shorts maybe bit turn-off for young ladies especially when they dressed to clubbing while me just wearing shorts. That's why I realized, and try minimized it.

Even complain oso we driver won't know

but so far, after driving for 6 months, my feedback from the apps is mainly on bad route/ city knowledge (3 times) and late arrival/ missed ETA (1 time), which I don't give a dammed, as I am not walking GPS, if the rider expect me to know all the routes, too bad, you better hire personal driver, either you guide me with your preferred route or I will follow GPS. Late arrival or missed ETA? Hello....I am religiously follow GPS to reach the rider, but, what can I do if the stupid Uber apps constantly under declared the ETA time?

Yesterday was not my day, received request with incomplete address, just show street name. Sms no reply, thought ok lah, drive towards there first, nearer to location, give the rider a call to ask exact location. Manatau, almost 200m to location, driving to about 4km, have not reach 5 min yet, the rider cancelled it I sms the rider told the fella I am going to report it to uber, get the fella suspended. Lucky got another request come in and nearby.

Next time, if rider no give complete address, I will not even start my journey. I will sms them for exact location, reply or call me only I start. Else, you wait long long lah.

any difference from here?

At least u got paid, mine nothing...waste petrol

I didn't threaten the fella, I just told him that I am reporting him to Uber to get suspended, for abusing the system, cancelling when the driver about to reach the pick up location, but, less than 5 min threshold.

what did they sms u?

coz malaysian uber driver are mainly part-timers treat this is time filling, low paying job.....just slightly better than taxi

u can't expect someone come new and clean car with someone wearing tie, long sleeves shirts with tie and dark pants and polished shoes and where the fare is usually range from RM10 to RM20 , or some even less than RM5

Maybe Uber Black can do lah

Lel wanna to ask, since you are also Grab driver, now they aggressively promoting their ride, like 50% off fare. Does it mean that the driver also receiving less? Or, Grab will compensate the driver for the difference?

why? Cerita sikit..... coz thinking should I drive for Grab oso to increase income

okie, okie....tenkiu....

Really....wonder how many are active, or just sign-up, then, hit the welcome incentive and stop

Lel...i am been bombarded with sms and email for past 3 weeks from uber saying that my acceptance rate is low.....padahal, I think at most i just didn't accept 2-3 request out of 20 odd ride per week. Not sure if really apps bug issue or really so bad.

This week, I will start try new strategy, started yesterday, I will accept every single ride request, even if I am on trip. Just like happen yesterday, this rider ask me to send her to bank, and then, send her back. Her destination set till to bank only, while waiting for her settle her stuff, another request come in (not really that nearby too, about 5km or 7 min drive), I just accept lor, even though I still need to send the first rider back.

Tried to find way to contact the second rider, seems the apps can't. The contact rider button for second rider is there, but, cannot click. Apa nak buat, wait for the 2nd rider to contact me lor, wanna explain to 2nd rider if want to cancel or can't wait or not, stupid uber apps can't allow it. Don't accept the request, then, the ride acceptance rate drop

End up, after a while, the 2nd rider noticing I jalan jalan, go cancel off the request finally......

Padan muka Uber developer, creating too many control without much consideration.....

Stupid Uber cancellation policy

Uber's cancellation policy:
-If the rider cancels before 5 minutes, no cancellation fee will apply.
-If the rider cancels after 5 minutes, a cancellation fee will apply as long as you are still arriving on-time.
-If you cancel the trip after arriving at the rider’s request location and waiting 5 minutes, a cancellation fee will apply.

First and second one I still can accept. The third one?

Happen to me few times, and today, happen again, rider give me the wrong pick up location. Location is totally opposite of the one in app. No choice to cancel, write to Uber support, and was told no cancellation fee, due to 3rd point

So, ask them back, in future, if given rider give wrong location, can we start the trip immediately, and then re-route it to right location? I think I am going to do this from now onwards

For all new drivers, please beware, usually these happen to those newbie, first time rider, they simply point and drop the pin as they wish, and without reviewing the address before confirm the pick up location. Although hard to identified who are the first time user, first time user will have 5 star rating (although some really good and experienced rider also able to maintain 5 star, but, this is rather exception than norm). So, be careful with those rider with 5 star rating. Contact them first to confirm pick up location.

Don't buta buta go drive to the pick up location which might be wrong and you may end up got nothing.

Some passenger are not contactable, i.e. not replying sms or answering phone. And, as safe driving practice, I usually stop my car (if I am driving) to safe location prior contacting them. Thus, may cause further some delay in pick them up (some passenger can be real unreasonable, expect the driver arrived the moment they request, although this more exception than norm). This does not help as Uber apps estimation is not based on route and real time traffic calculation, but, radius distance, and 90% shorter than actual (which can be difference of 10-15 min).

Nope, but, waze was down yesterday night....

quiet day, online 3 hours, 1 trip, less than RM10. Maybe location problem

It doesn't mean there is rider demand for that. Even if there is, the distance travelled may be less than 5km, and I bet that location is super jammed, unless you dammed lucky at in front of the rider, chances are the ETA will be exceptionally long.

Happen to me yesterday, sending passenger to Masjid India area, and another queue coming in, 2.8 times, from Renaisance Hotel, normal ETA should be less than 4 min, due to Raya eve, I was stuck in Masjid India area for 20 min. And, end up the rider cancelled the ride without any cancellation fee



Good luck to those drivers who chase for surge, it just ploy of Uber to cheat driver to drive to the area

Same goes to the PHG incentives...

Tier 1 - Min RM500 to qualify
Common, if I can hit RM500, very high chance my gross fare per hour is higher than the PHG fare

Then, come out with clause like min 1 trip or 1.25 trip per hour, 50% trip must start in Core Area.....
Common, mean that they will only pay you if you station yourself within Core Area, and there is at least 1 demand per hour (if you really bad luck, 1 whole hour no demand in Core Area, happen to me once) tough luck. Then, will only pay you if your ride distance is nearby (else if anything travel outside the Core Area, it will definitely more than the guaranteed amount, and then you need to back to Core Area again). However, if your travelled distance is near, all within Core Area, and the demand is between 2-3 per hour, chances are your fare also above guaranteed amount already

Conclusion, all the so called promotion is bullshit, and Uber doesn't give a dammed to driver. Think twice before you decide quit your job and drive full time. Uber is good for extra additional income or to help you to tide over during difficult period (i.e. retrenched, temporary additional expenses or commitment), but, never a good way to earn a living.

I never dispute your statement, while I also never say driving Uber mean making loss....it just won't make you rich or as good as what Uber try to "sell" you
