So that’s why I’m curious about the inner-workings of Uber.

One thing is for sure, though - he was extremely unprofessional, not responding to any of my calls or messages for over 30 minutes.Įven beyond this ride, there are much clearer examples of drivers doing everything they can to get people to cancel rides in order to get cancelation fees. So I can’t say with 100% certainty that he was a scammer, in the sense that I’m not convinced he was trying to make a “living” through cancelation fees. Surprisingly this guy had a good Uber score and literally thousands of rides behind him. Sorry you had to “drive” 31 minutes for me. There was a $10 fee, though I disputed it and it was immediately refunded. Works.).įinally after over 30 minutes I decided to cancel the ride. I wasn’t about to cancel the ride, so I kept the ride “live,” and in the meantime got in a taxi, which was a whole different experience as well (“Man it has been crazy busy but everyone has been paying with credit card, so can you pay me in cash so I have gas money?” That’s. I assumed he wanted me to just give up and cancel the ride, so I messaged him telling him to take his time. Then after another five minutes I figured I’d practice some reverse psychology. I waited another five minutes, and then I called him. The message showed as “Read,” but he didn’t respond. So I ordered an Uber when I landed in Miami.Īnd then I waited… after 10 minutes the car still hadn’t moved, so I called the driver. In retrospect I regret that because it’s Art Basel, one of the least pleasant weekends of the year here (yes, even less enjoyable than a hot August day). I’m only home for the weekend between two trips. I had just gotten off a three hour flight in a middle seat in the second to last row of an American plane (for the first time in probably 15 years, but it was worth it to get home early).

If a driver is found to be in a situation where Uber is constantly refunding fees (for good reason), does the platform not take any action?.

You can request to have a cancelation fee refunded if it is refunded, is the driver still getting the cancelation fee?.

This is something that happens fairly often, though I guess I don’t fully understand the logic, but I suspect I must be missing something:

The driver accepting the ride, and then texting with you and asking you to cancel the ride (they could give a variety of reasons for encouraging this).

The driver accepting your ride and then just ignoring you, hoping that you’ll eventually cancel the ride.

There seems to be a fairly common scam where Uber drivers are essentially more focused on collecting cancelation fees than driving. I’m curious if you guys can help me understand it. But there’s one kind I can’t make sense of. While a vast majority of Uber drivers are professional, given how big the network is you also have some people trying to pull off scams. Over the years, as the platform has gotten bigger, I feel like that has changed. It’s not just that being able to order a car through an app at any time is useful, but historically I enjoyed Uber because I felt like they offered great customer service. Ridesharing apps have radically changed the way we get around on the ground.
