Four Uber drivers revealed why some passengers might have lower ratings than they expected. Obnoxious friends, slammed doors, and left crumbs could leave you with one star, they said. Loading cars with bags and making drivers wait could also bring ratings down.

Is 4.75 a bad Uber rating? 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.
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.

If you're between a 4.6 and 4.69, I hate to say it, but you may be a bad passenger. We are now reaching the bottom of the barrel in terms of ratings, as almost all ratings seem to be between 4.5 and 5.0. If you're in the 4.6 range, you might not know it, but you may be a bad passenger.

Requesting stops at drive-thrus or convenience storesRiders can add stops in their journey through the Uber app before and during the trip. Uber says riders can add up to two extra stops along the route, but if a stop lasts more than three minutes, the passenger will be charged more, Insider previously reported.
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.

San Francisco's Lazhar Bedri earned the notation of longest tenure for being an Uber driver since July 2011. Las Vegas' Fatou Cissokho received the highest rating — earning nearly 4,000 five-star reviews. Birmingham driver Charlana Moses was recognized for having made the most trips.
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. Ratings are optional for riders.
