I was around PJ from 1130am..and rounded until Hartamas area before deciding to stop for lunch..

Continued later on about 330pm until 7pm..

If you are at PJ, no need to round - ping will definitely come in very fast.
Hartamas / Mont Kiara - these places also endless ping.

Or did you refused any ping ? What is your AR like ?

My AR is always at 97-100%, so I have no problem getting ping most of the time.
Even in places where I see other drivers camping, I will normally get the ping first and moved off.
I just don't know whether the trip is profitable or not HAHAHA...

If confirmed empty car back, I will ask for an additional 50% at least. Rider will pay, I have done it a few times in the past.

Guys, I've started driving uber again after 2 years. But I don't see the incentive of rmXxx after xxx amount of trips completed in xxx days. Why ah? Am I not eligible for that?
*
You will have it when the following quest is available for you.
Most probably will be in a few days.

i received many pings which the pick up location is far away... sometimes 4,5 and once more than 6km away. is it normal? most of the time the drop off location was just 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+ km away. There was 1 time i need to pass through toll to pick up rider.
*
As usual, this is normal lor.
When there are less and less drivers on the road, the system might do even more ridiculous stuff.

Have you guys accepted ping while having rider/s in the car - and the next pickup is a crazy >15mins & 10kms away ?
This back-to-back ping thing is usually for nearby <3km pickup from your 1st drop-off point (in the past).
I guess the system goes into "desperado" mode when not able to find nearby drivers.

This quest thing has been around for 1-2 months already.
For this issue, please call Uber CS and ask.


QUOTE
i've been driving for uber for nearly a month already and about 130 trips, my quest is getting lower and lower. the recent one is just RM45 for 27 trips. mad.gif


Of course it gets lesser and lesser everytime you managed to hit.
Mine was rm80 for 27 trips last week which I completed in 1 day.
So this week kena rm55 for 27 trips bangwall.gif


QUOTE
Sometimes it could means that you are not station in the hotspot area.


You cannot be driving into hotspot everytime you send someone out of it right ?
You only drive back into hotspot when you are sent into some "village" from previous trip.
This is Uber, there is always enough ping.

I used 3 days to complete the 27 trips yesterday. Now the new quest just came in -24 trips for RM130... so tempting if it's not over the weekends. I don't drive on  weekend sad.gif  May I know how many hours you used to complete the 27 trips in one day and mostly in which area? If possible I would try to complete the 24 trips today. biggrin.gif  Possible?
*
I used ~12 hours actual online time in 1 day to complete that.
It was a Tuesday.

For Fridays, if you do ~10-11 hours actual online time - you can achieve it.
But you must know when to go offline to get out of those so called "traphole".
I will definitely go offline and stay away from KLCC and Bukit Bintang area 4-8 pm, but then I am not a KL driver anyway...

Will driver be penalised if we keep cancelling trips because sometimes the pick up is like super far away.
*
Why did you accept it in the first place - if it is super far from your current location ?
I heard that if cancel without any reason, rider can call Uber and make complaint.
But if rider bloody cancel the trip without any reason, nothing can be done.

Anyone knows what does it mean by 'destination trips'? Because some of my trips is not counted for the additional for driving x amount of trips.
*
Because you used the "find trips toward a destination" function. That's why those trips are not counted.

I don't find this function useful, so I don't use it at all.

i picked up a rider at mutiara damsnsara and sent to jalan cendana, kampung baru. the traffic was terrible and the original estimation time from 29mins for 14.5km ride ended 60 mins. the fare after uber fee was just rm12.30. i wrote to uber to ask why the extra time was not added to the fare and their reply was "it was upfront fare". what is up front fare? do we know it when we are accepting the request ping? it happened once before also like 30km rides but the fare was just rm19.
*
Upfront fare,
If you take more time, fare remains the same.
If you take less time, fare also remain the same - but Uber will pocket the extras.

In my earlier postings, I did warned you guys about this "upfront fare" crap.

QUOTE(aimanwalker @ Jun 4 2017, 11:36 PM)
This shouldn't be true at all. It should be the other way around ie. The rider always pays the upfront fare but driver always gets paid according to distance and time. This way rider pays as he has initially agreed when he/she booked the ride and driver get paid what he/she deserves based on distance and time. Any difference uber will untung sometime and rugi sometime. At least this is what I feel is the most logical and fair system.

Based on the explanation regarding the upfront fare in help section, it also says the same thing. Now I never encountered this problem before so I never had any explanation from CS whatsoever. If CS say it is like you mentioned, then there must be something wrong somewhere d
*
Upfront fare calculation is based on Uber's time estimation - when a rider book his/her ride.
Problem arises when traffic suddenly build up tremendously, which is always the case during peak hours.
Not mentioning that their time estimation is not as accurate as Waze.

When actual fare is higher than upfront fare, fare remains the same - rider untung, driver rugi, Uber no untung/rugi.
But when actual fare is lower than upfront fare, fare paid to driver is lower than upfront fare - rider rugi, driver no untung/rugi, Uber untung.

So, Uber will never make any loss.
All losses is bore by rider or driver only.

a rider set a destination and then requested to me to wait for her to pick up something and then send her back to original pick up place. but just b4 reaching the destination, a back to back ping came in. so i just have to reject her. I would like to know if sending her back to her original pick up place, will the fare increase accordingly or still the same?
*
Fare will be slightly less of course.

2 ways usually,
1. Go offline and settle privately with the rider (if the fare is not bad).
2. Tell the rider to rebook another Uber ride (if the fare is crap as in short-distance trip).

Firstly I don't advocate driving so late at night. Or even taking a ride.

But if you really must, cancel those riders or drivers with 4.5 and below. Also the 5.0 star ones (very high chance new account).

2.8 also you get into the car is very very very risky. Adult should know better.
*
+1

Actually we drivers are at a higher risk of being mugged / robbed.
Any Tom, Dick and Harry will just need a stupid mobile number to register for a Uber account.

And now the whole situation is the other way round, just because of some idiot drivers.
How much cash do you think a rider might have ?
Especially those coming back from work or are students, they most probably have lesser cash than us drivers LOLX...

Is this just me only as I couldn't see any "boost zone" in my homepage now, after updated to latest version (v3.141.3)? It was shown last few days.

However, i still see the boost guarantee in my promotion page...

Could it be due to my rating of 4.95 star, 79% AR, 3% CR?

Thanks in advance.

Try logout & relogin your driver app, restart your phone.
Normally this will work, and if it doesn't then maybe need to reinstall your app.


QUOTE
Today most riders with promo code and fare rm0.00 gets 4 stars for me. But rider does the same to me. My rating drop to 4.63


Yeah, it made no sense - since Uber will reimburse you back the promo amount.

But nowadays also nonsense rating, I got a 1-2* rating in the past few days.
And because I have only made so few trips, I couldn't figure out which bugger did this - and all trips are basically perfect.
So I guess must be some bugger purposely rate me low for fun KNN...

This has to go down in my Uber history as the longest trip ever LOL...

Yesterday I attempted the 4-8 pm quest.
1st trip already get long trip to Pulau Indah.
2nd trip from Pulau Indah out to civilization was met with standstill jam due to earlier lorry accident.
Needless to say, the quest is over for me already. But the fare is still nice, even without the quest bonus.

For the 4-8 pm quest, always make sure that the trip is on surge/boost. Then it will really be worth driving - with or without the quest bonus.

You got lucky.
From my past experiences, not everyone will be able to hit.
I think I have only managed about half of those I attempted from the past few months.
Some of those failed attempts missed by 1-2 trips.

Yeah, I understand that normally 1 hour can make 2-3 trips easily.
But then those few hours quest, it is always during peak hours and very heavy traffic/jam.
And then you will get a few mid-long distance trips which will consume ~1 hour per trip.

So, I'd say it depends on the server - because it decides where you are going.
And your luck too...

Do u have to wait long for the trip back to civilisation?


Surprisingly no.
