At what point do you complain to a point where the driver likely gets fired? What if the know where you live, that you are obviously on vacation (took you to and airport with luggage), and they looked slightly shady (not in a murder you sense, but in a steal you TV sense)?

Our driver yesterday showed up and parked around the corner. Took off as we are walking down the street to them. Called them and they stopped. It was still dark and I see someone sleeping in the passenger seat. Turns out its our driver on the app. Someone else is driving. Can't fit luggage because there is a spare tire in the back. They take out the spare to fit it. As we take off, I realize they leave it in the middle of the street (had someone pick it up). We are already running late due to finding car and luggage. Stops for gas. Woman driving has no idea how to get to the airport, so the actual driver has to wake up and show her.

Worst cab ride ever. Would they know who complained, especially with such specific complaints? This person appeared ghetto to the point I'd not want them knowing where I lived while not there.

Just don't be specific and cite cleanliness and other issues. Shitty uber drivers don't remain drivers for very long. They will have bad ratings from everyone.

There is no way another person other than the actual driver should be taking the wheel. Should have walked away from that one right away.

That is why it's best to stick to the professionals and call a cab.

This wouldn't have happened in a regular cab. Just saying. You get what you pay for

People have bad days. Unless you asked, just assume the real driver had an illness or possibly a family issue.

Sounds like no matter what, he gutted it out and made sure you would be services.

I'm done with Uber at this point. $6 to go 0.8 mile on Tuesday at 10AM - non surge pricing.

What was this UberX? I always call black or at least uberXL to make sure we have enough room.

That is a really bad ride just curious what is the driver currently rated? I'm surprised he has lasted this long

message uber, they will refund you. I had a guy 2 weeks ago who went the wrong direction to my place, there are 2 ways to go and one is way longer than the other. Good thing he didn't speak english so I couldn't even communicate with him that he was going the wrong way. Uber looked at the route he took and refunded me based on the route he should have taken
