my experienced driving for half a year,
some of the rider think that they are the big boss who pay little money and want driver to wait for them more than 5 mins after a call to them since they not waiting at the pick up point.

i tried before 1 rider cancelled the trip saying i 'rude' to him just by i message him 'can you be fast as i already waited more than 5 mins' 

If wait > 5 mins at pick up point - driver cancel can get rm3.75

ya, but i already start the trip since rider said few mins will come, so the fare only rm1+

Would like to ask why my Uber driver app has no promotions at all? Or do I need to drive for certain amount of trips then only appear in my promotion list? Couldn't find any articles regarding the promotions/incentive not appearing in the app. Anyone encounter this before?

Are you new to Uber? I think you need to take 30 trips before you can check all your promotions/ boosts/ surges

Yep, i'm still new. So far completed 24 trips. Thanks for the info.

Update from my friend, completed 35 trips, still unable to see any promotions.

Moved from Uber to grab 2 weeks ago. So far:

1. I no need chase trip count in grab. In Uber, i have to hit quest count 54 or 39 to get incentive. If i hit 53 only, i get no incentive. This is usually very stressful. Sometimes i have to force myself to drive until 2am to get 54 trips. I dare not cancel any trip no matter how stupid the rider is. I just swallow and accept the rider abuse to complete the trip. In grab, the incentive is based on hourly, AR, CR and rating. If cannot hit target, there is always the next hour.

2. The pickup distance in grab is usually less than 2km. In Uber, it is average 5km or more (even received 20km )

3. In grab, the app don't care what route you use, the fare is fixed. Rider cannot change drop off point midway. In Uber, the app calculate the distance traveled. If you used shortcut, the fare becomes lower because shorter distance. Rider can change drop off point any time and the fare recalculate to cheaper fare. Uber got upfront fare that rider agreed to pay when booking. The driver may get lower fare, Uber pocket the difference.

3. Grab got minimum fare like rm 4 or rm 5. Uber don't have. It depends on distance. Can be as low as rm 1.00 i think.

4. Grab fare is round up to ringgit. No need deal with coins. Uber fare is up to sen which is very confusing when 10 sen or 20 sen. Need to find change.

5. Grab fare is usually higher than Uber fare.

6. It is easier to get ping in grab than Uber. (More riders)

7. Myth : Uber got more civilised riders. Fact : both the same. Got good and bad riders. Just depend on your luck.

Hope this helps.

Yes. you will get celebrity and more class passenger compare to Grab.

It's really not easy to survive in this e-hailing service after reading all the posts in that thread..

Driver should clean up their car but riders seem expecting more than that...in car air purifier?

Finally I understand why I get some no reason low star ratings right now..Their expectation is over my limit.

I thought sending them safely to their destination with a standard cleanliness car is enough but obviously its not for some picky riders..

It's my fault for not reaching their expectation for a RM3 fare from them, I need to think twice if I should continue providing my service to them..

just wanna ask our fellow driver uber here..
i just saw from facebook UG (uber/grab) someone screenshot (from uber driver apps) getting rm2k+ in one whole week for end of august this year... is it really possible?
