The basics of ratingsAfter each trip, riders and drivers have the opportunity to rate each other from 1 to 5 stars, based on their trip experience. Ratings are anonymous.

If driver or a passenger gets consistently low scores, they could lose access to some or all of the company's services. However, Uber doesn't have one set cutoff point — the minimum average rating is different for each city in which the company operates.
That also means if you have a low rating, it may be difficult for you to have a driver accept your request. So, what's a good rating? Generally, anything below a 4.5 is considered bad. That 4.5 may seem high considering Uber uses a five-star system, but most drivers will give you five stars.
What's considered a bad rider rating? Anything below 4.5 stars isn't ideal. If you check your rating and it's lower than you like, the only way to make it better is to take more rides and take heed to the following advice. It may take a while, but that 3.9 can grow to 4.6 in no time.
What is a Good Uber Rider Rating? Any rating above 4.7 is good to excellent. While a 5 star rating is the best you can get, it is virtually impossible to maintain. Drivers try to rate honestly, but sometimes you get the short end of the stick and catch them on a bad day, or do something they might not like.
Don't worry. One low rating won't have a significant impact on your overall average. If you're consistently rated poorly, check out Uber resources, including tips from other delivery people. If your rating doesn't improve, you may lose access to the app (see Uber's Community Guidelines for more information).
As an Uber driver, a 5 star rating often means more passengers, more fares and (hopefully) more tips. So to become a successful private hire taxi driver, it's important to get those stars.
In order to ensure a consistent and reliable experience, we are unable to remove individual trip ratings on request. Keep in mind that although you will rate a rider after every trip, riders are not required to do the same.
I have a 4.85 Uber passenger rating, is that good, bad, or average? It's pretty average… most riders will have a 4.8 or higher. Anything less than 4.7 and you will start seeing it take longer to get a ride, because drivers will begin declining to take a ride from someone with a rating so low.
While the readers concerned about 4.5 to 4.8 ratings have nothing to worry about, riders with much lower ratings are at risk of having drivers decline their ride request. This can leave you with longer wait times, and — if your rating drops too low — there's the risk of being booted from Uber completely.
Your rating is the average of your last 500 trips. If you want to help improve your rating, drivers have shared some of the top reasons they hand out fewer stars: Pack it in, pack it out: Drivers shouldn't have to clean up after you. Always make sure to take your trash and any other belongings with you.
A single 5 star rating from either a driver or a rider is the most common. A perfect 5.00 score though is rare. There are very few drivers who have a 5.00 - less than 1% of the total population. And among them, some are able to maintain the 5.00 consistently.

In the seconds after a rider requests a ride, we evaluate nearby drivers and riders in one batch. We then pair riders and drivers in the distribution, aiming to reduce the average wait time for everyone, not just the closest pair. This helps keep things moving and rides reliable across the network.
