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..

This is special case. In my fair share of 1.5k rides, 95% rides are pleasant and okay. And this driver is negligent too, it takes more than a day to accumulate to that amount of sands.

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?
*
IMO, not mission impossible. He must be working for a very long hours each day, averaging netting 250/day plus quest incentives (morning rush, weekday, and weekend, around 300ish). Question is how long can he do it? How long can a person sustains this kind of working condition? Let's put in another way, like many veterans here said, all depend on how much you willing to commit.

I fetched a nepalese back to home few days back with uber. During the trip, he was recommending uber all the way, saying uber is about rm2-3 cheaper than grab. By the time, reached his house, pressed collect cash. Final fare was way much higher his usual fare. He was shocked. Rupa-rupanya surge trip. Then all the dispute started... At the end have to give him some discount out of my pocket. But before that, I offered to check his app to double check the fare. While checking his app, I clicked 5 stars.

+ Cleverness.

I got the same case just like you two weeks ago. I end up with 1* from that bugger. Price hiked, I pulak kena blame. I shouldn't took that request due to low rider rating but accidentally accepted in midst of busy driving and sending rider.

so this is common? with the traffic i had to face to make a u-turn  cry.gif

What I usually do in such case is I will send an in-app message to rider, reminding them to double check their pick up location as we drivers follow specified location, inaccurate location will prolong pickup time and causes inconvenient turns. After that, I'll just cancel it and mark "wrong address". This shall remind and "teach" them to be careful next time.

RM3.75 for me for the trouble. And in case the rider wanna dispute to reclaim/refund, I've pm-ed them in-app as proof.

You will never know out of sudden your rating dropped because of this. I've experienced this before, got a 1* as parting gift.

i use to care so much about my ratings. but after receiving a few low rating for no strong reason, meh, i got used to it d LOL. no point of paying so much attention to ratings, cash is my top priority
BTW, the higher acceptance rate we got, the easier for us to get riders right? i use to got 99% acceptance rate, back then getting a rider is as easy as 123, even at ulu places.

I think so....ping seems came in slow after keep ignoring few pings. especially after softban for 5 mins.

can others confirm this? I don't drive uber so frequently anymore
*
I felt that too ping became slower. In CR tab, it did mentioned "High rates don't affect your account, but often mean shorter wait times." Somehow I feel rating plays a role in the matching algorithm.

my weekly promotion incentive has been reducing every week. from rm 190 for 54 trips to rm 105 recently (i hit the target every week). so i stopped driving uber last 2 weeks and this week the promotion incentive went back rm 190 again.

so uber will punish you if you work hard, and reward you if you drive less.  bangwall.gif
*
Not in my case, manage to hit weekly quest (barely innocent.gif ), usually hovering around 120-155, and this week indeed same as you which is 190.

Anyone? i try to sign up to become uber driver. however i got problem on insurance cover note. I bought a new car this year which is under zurich takaful insurance. However since there is a new rules, where insurance have to be registered before plat number is being released and confirmed. So on my insurance cover note. My car registration number does not being showed. So what should i do? Everytime i uploaded my insurance cover note, uber always ask me to upload my insurance again. Please help guys.
*
The only thing you can do is wait.. and resubmit to UBER once you got the plate number and is stated in the cover note.

Hi, i driving in melaka area. Mind to ask, is that have possibility get ping request from melaka to klia or vise versa when im in klia?i tried before when im in klang valley, im unable to going online .
*
Very slim possibility to get request from MLK to KLIA, and vice versa. Seriously not worth it given time spent and profit after the commission.

**UBERbros take note on this. In order to drive in another city other than your registered city in profile, you need to create another profile for that city and using a different email account. Upload all required documents and wait for approval before you can start driving in that city.

It needs to work 2 ways. Passengers win. Drivers also must feel like winning.
But sorry to say it is not the case for Uber drivers. Is there any added bonus for picking up many short trips? I dont think so.
With this promo on, creating more and more short trips. Passenger sure happy no need to pay FOC trip. But how about the driver? Hmm...

Just for the sake of comparison. Last Saturday, long weekends, but luckily Grab got promo code on. Pubic holidays, weekends as always will be full with part time drivers. So ping request will be "dry".
With promo thingy, what makes part-time driver like me feel like winning is getting easier to score quest bonus. Sadly to say, the overall income achieved during promo period is significantly decrease. Just like today, I took a day off using replacement leave to at least hit 20+ trips but to my surprise, I beaten my own record. 44 trips in 13hrs online time. I can smell the bonus coming already.

And out of 44 trips, almost half of it was zero fare because of promo.

I encountered one clever mapren this evening. She use multi-stop from Nautica Lakesuites Condo @ South Quay to nearby 7-11. I didn't even aware is multi-stop until I reached 7-11 only knew from app. The usual "can you wait for a few minutes, no worry, I'll be quick" that kind of crap. Waited almost 10 mins, and continue the trip back to Nautica. She use CC as payment but when I check it back, it was RM2.30 (after commission). bangwall.gif ranting.gif

Deep in heart, I was consoling myself that I want the number to score quest. dry.gif

Hi
Since up front fare, as a rider i cant see the surge amt (eg1.7, 1.8, 2.0 etc)
How about you Uber drivers here, can you see the surge rate?
*
Yes, we can see the surge rate, time it takes to reach you, and rider's rating too. It will be a dumb move to reveal surge rate to rider. It's a psychology thingy. Rider will less likely bother about price and wouldn't care much (except frequent users). If they know the surge rate then rider will less likely to take it, UBER will not survive.

Ya lor. Lesson learned. If near home already, just ignore ping. Dun greedy.

You can check the in-app map where the request came from, if is "pusing balik" direction then ignore loh, not worth it. And shouldn't ignore when getting near your "set destination", just offline.


Last Sat, I set destination back to Puchong from MyTown, caught one request to pick up at Menara KH and surprise, surprise.. going to D'Pulze @ Cyber, overshot by 20+km from my pre-set destination, luckily that trip was surged at 1.6x. Cyber back Puchong was empty-car but still happy. whistling.gif

Oh..I also notice one more thing..not sure if it applies to everyone..when you're on the main screen..the blue arrow tends to point up (north) when your car is still..even when you're actually pointing a different direction..

This affected my pick ups so many times..I'm at a traffic light to go straight..but because of the direction I'm "facing" in the app..the pick up is behind me

I had this only after recent update. Previous version, no.
