Uber ratings below 4.7 are considered to be below average. So a rating of 4.5 isn't very good. If your rating falls below 4.6 for a long period of time, there's a risk that Uber will deactivate your account.
Low Uber Driver RatingsYou should ensure that your rating is always above 4.8 because if it falls below 4.6, you risk deactivation. Uber allows the drivers to pay customer service fees to get reinstated.
