Reapplying to Uber and Lyft Both Uber and Lyft allow rejected applicants to reapply. However, they don't make it easy. In fact, the companies don't seem to have a set policy on this. Instead, people report that it is a case-by-case basis, or that a specific period of time has to pass before applying again.
Since many drivers do both Uber and Lyft, sometimes requests come in at the same time and drivers will do this to have the passenger cancel so they get a cancellation fee, said Campbell. Some drivers are just trying to get the passenger to cancel so they can collect the fee.

Uber prohibits cash payments for non-cash trips. If a rider wants to pay cash at the end of a trip, but it's not indicated to you as a cash trip, don't worry—you'll still get paid.
Uber will actively monitor all active cars at the time requested to find a ride for you but cannot guarantee a ride. In big cities and busy areas, there will likely be cars available throughout the day and night, but in the exceptional case that no drivers are available, you will be notified immediately.
Uber drivers cannot see the destination address when they accept a ride? They can't see it when they initially accept rides, only when they start the ride.
No, you won't receive star ratings for any canceled or unaccepted trips. Why does my average rating go up or down so much when I start driving? It's normal for your average rating to vary over the course of your first 50 to 100 trips. This is because there are fewer available trips making up your average.
There is no set limit of negative ratings before a passenger is banned from their service. If a passenger is blacklisted, they get an e-mail notification.

Keep Stops Under Three MinutesRemember the Uber rule for driver waiting time: It's three minutes. If your driver doesn't see you return in three minutes or less, it's their option to end the trip and go find a new passenger.
Uber's driver app can detect and record if you are accelerating aggressively, stopping quickly instead of gradually and if you are exceeding the speed limit for a specific stretch of roadway.
