What happened to those drivers & their cars which were taken by SPAD?
*
Driver's who had their cars taken by SPAD have all been returned unless there was an lawful reason for the seizure of the vehicle (i.e., the driver was breaking the law in some way).

All Uber Driver Partners vehicles that follow all traffic laws will not be impounded by SPAD.

Please review the cancellation policy where the cancellation charge only apply if the rider no show after 5 mins. What if the rider decide to cancel before 5 min, while the driver arrived? The driver will end up nothing. I would suggest cancellation fee apply when rider decide to cancel after 2 min of request, as the driver had already taken considerable time and effort to be at the pick up location.

It happen all the time, on average, 20% daily trip.

Second, please put option for driver to select either to accept card trip only, cash trip only or both whenever the driver online. Of course, by selecting just one payment option, the drivers earning will be lesser, but, please let the drivers have this option. I been driving for Uber for past 8 months, seriously, the quality of the riders had deteriorate which introduction with cash trip and I don't mind earning lesser than dealing with not so favorable riders  (whether Uber did really suspend any riders is a question mark). Plus, anyone can just register as a new rider whenever their account been blocked as their payment mode can be cash. After all, it just need a mobile number

Third, please remove the CSA requirement in PHG. It not fair, as it as if asking driver to concentrate on the CSA area only. And, now, almost everywhere is CSA area.
*
1. The cancellation policy has already been revised where the trip will begin 2 minutes after the driver has arrived.
2. Unfortunately Uber cannot allow discriminatory payment methods as it will have varying effects on the service we are trying to provide. If you ever come across a bad Driver experience, please report the trip to partnerskl@uber.com
3. The CSA requirement is important as it help cater to high demand areas, we want to ensure that all our riders have the best experience possible, as soon as they open the app. As our rider and driver partner base grow, more CSAs will open up. As you said previously, CSAs have expanded to almost everywhere. It should be relatively easy to maintain trips in a CSA area, and we will work to expand more as soon as possible!

Thank you for your questions! smile.gif

How on earth SPAD conduct the operasi? All their staffs pretend to be riders & ask drivers to drop them at Pyramid where the the trap is?

Hi there,

We are painfully aware of the risks involved with driving and the different forms of payments. We keep a very close ear to the ground when it comes to news and matters of that nature. Here at Uber we try to provide a simple and efficient way of contacting us in case of any emergency. We understand that the system is not perfect, but we do our best.

In the article you quoted, the 2 men that had attacked the driver were both caught and are now being prosecuted. We hope that this is a sufficient deterrent for future incidences. Although we are unable to guarantee the perfect trip, every trip, we always do our best to ensure your safety and protection as our Partners.

If you ever experience any incidences, please contact us at: +603-27253060

Thank you for your question! smile.gif

No comment on other ride-sharing companies.

We do have a sophisticated anti-fraudulent rider detection mechanism. Based on certain parameters, certain high-risk riders could be requested to provide additional forms of verification before they can take a first trip.

Refer to the reply from official Uber channel, which I raised similar question like you. End of day, what you can do, you raised a complain to Uber with photo evidence, receipts and name of rider  shakehead.gif yes, you read it right, name of rider to claim back your repair cost. The rider will get suspended.

Personally, I had not encounter the scenario you mentioned, but, this is definitely a risk, your scenario totally valid. My worst case scenario is that the rider drunk and puke in my car, or to be exact, open window and puke, which resulted me unable to continue the trip afterwards, need to send the car for car wash immediately, and I claim the car wash from the rider (mind you, it is a cash ride, so, when I want to compensation from rider, his friend was adamant do not want to pay, just want to pay the fare listed only) so, I write to Uber on this incident please ensure you report it within 48 hours after the trip, else, Uber may not entertain your request, provide the photo evidence with receipt and Uber paid me via weekly payment. Of course, what upset me is that not only I cannot continue my drive for next passenger, i.e. time wasted, opportunity cost, Uber even ask me to confirm the rider name. I was WTF....how do you expect me to remember the rider name???

And, this is first part, as Uber is encourage driver to contact rider, for whatsover reason, be it confirmation on location, pick up, etc.....my advice DON'T EVER DO THAT!!!!! Once the rider had your contact details, anything also they will come harass or call you. And, this rider called me, harass me why I complain to Uber, resulted his account get suspended. Not once, but multiple times, which in first few time, I told him nicely, whatever issue, please settle it with Uber, we are just independent Uber driver, not Uber staff, if you unhappy with my action or whatsover, you can complain to Uber to get me suspended too (but so far, my account still active, rating average hovering between 4.7 and 4.8 for 800+ completed trip) until I gave him the final warning, I am going to report him to police if he continue to call me, only then he stop calling me.

So, to all Uber drivers out there, the risk is real, you have to consider all these when decide to drive Uber. Don't be mislead with good income, easy money, etc.....I do not refute that driving Uber is flexible, the incidents I encountered is rather exception than norm where I do also have few good share of good riders (but with increasing cash ride, which now on average 50-80% of my daily trip is on cash ride, these sort of incident may be more frequent).

End of day, to all Uber drivers, please stay safe, stay alert, trust your gut feel or instinct, if you feel something not right, better cancel the ride, lost few ringgit petrol and time, rather than risk your car and safety. These are the increased risk and rewards of more demand of being Uber drivers nowadays.


End of day, Uber doesn't care, or care is how many trip you can complete, how much commission they will able to deduct from the fare. And, if you guys have time, plenty of people still coming to their PSC to register as new drivers (proof economy are bad  cry.gif ). Any lost drivers will be quickly replace with new one. My advice to all potential new drivers, sign up and drive all you want, but, if you intend to quit your job, decide to do it full time with hope making it big, making big, you are just dreaming. The income from Uber can cover your expenses, but, won't make you rich or easy life. It's all hardwork. Don't ever buy new car just for intention of driving Uber or Grab, else, you have extra commitment to headache.

1. You can track back previous trips from "Trip History" on the app.
2. If you face issues with rider harassment, feel free to contact us if necessary. You may also proceed to lodge a report with the authorities and upon official request, we will furnish the authorities with rider contact details for follow up (this has happened for several cases in the West).

UberMY What is your comment on this?  vmad.gif

Uber cannot take responsibility for cash trips and the associated fares. As mentioned during onboarding sessions or cash online training, when accepting a trip, you’ll need to note whether it’s a cash trip and ensure you collect your fare at the end.

What if the riders abscond, i.e. jump out of car immediately, threaten the drivers or claim no money to pay for fare or there is error in the partner apps (non cash trip become cash trip)? Will the driver be reimbursed for the fare for non fault of the driver?

Report via the help.uber.com button or visit http://t.uber.com/klpsc for support.

In the case where it's a clear violation of the Terms of Service on the rider side, we'll see what we can do in the case of the fare.

Hi - the rider closest to the driver's destination will be dispatched. In core areas (CSAs) the partner wouldn't have to travel very far.

In outlying areas where riders are more spread out, then theres a possibility that the rider may be some distance away from the partner.

That's why we heavily encourage partners to drive in core service areas (view map)

I had reported countless of times, and the reply I got "Uber cannot take responsibility for cash trips and the associated fares. As mentioned during onboarding sessions or cash online training, when accepting a trip, you’ll need to note whether it’s a cash trip and ensure you collect your fare at the end." and Uber does not reimburse me back!!!!!

It usually happen if the fare is not exact RM, example, RM8.60, the rider will conveniently pay you RM8. If they pay RM10, and you returned RM1, they claimed you are cheating them. Had tried reasoning with them, explaining that Uber T&C allowed driver to roundup the fare to nearest RM, but they do not accept it. Some even shout and threathen/ slammed the car door....

Easily, on average, I am subsidizing RM2-3 per day.......

What Uber going to do? Is driver got to bear all the losses?????? Or you going to automatically roundup the fare in the apps in next apps update????

Hi, 2feidei thanks for flagging this to us.

We apologise that the online support response is not up to the high standards we set. We'll review it and the response provided for trips where there is a fare dispute or the partner alleges the rider does not pay the full fare.

In such cases, the SOP is to temporarily suspend the rider account until the issue can be verified and refund any discrepancy to the partner. If you visit the Greenlight Centre (PSC) we'll proceed to resolve this issue for you on the spot, especially if you have a record of the trips affected. Alternately, you can ring up our general partner support line at 03-92122575 between 9AM-6PM for help on this.
