I found this out the other day, when I asked my Uber driver about my passenger rating — the average of the 1-to-5-star grade passengers receive from drivers after every ride, which is shown to drivers before they agree to take a hail. “You're a 4.8,” he replied. “I usually don't pick people up if they're a 4 or less.”
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).
Everyone who drives with Uber is screened before their first trip. ¹ In addition, Uber reruns these driver screenings² at least every year and uses technology to look for issues in between.
Absolutely. Uber and Lyft drivers need to follow all the same rules as the other cars on the road. If a rideshare driver commits a traffic violation they can be pulled over and will face the same penalties as everyone else.
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.
Every time you put yourself or your passenger in danger, you will be deactivated. So if you're out driving passengers around drunk, molesting/harassing passengers or just a maniac on the road, your Uber driver account will be disabled.
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.
You'll see how many drivers gave you a stellar 5-star rating, how many handed out the dreaded single star, and everything in between. The ratings breakdown is available to all Uber users right in the Privacy Center, which can be accessed by logging into your account online or in the app.
Uber expects high approval ratings for its drivers. Because your rating is calculated based on the average ratings of your last 500 rides (or your total rides if you're at less than 500), a consistently low rating will set off red flags at Uber HQ. You will risk deactivation if your rating goes below 4.6.
For years, the two-way rating system has fueled Uber's power over its riders and drivers. Low-performing drivers — those with an average of four stars or less — were at risk of deactivation. Even some poorly behaved passengers could get kicked off the platform if they received enough one-star ratings.
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. You won't see individual ratings tied to a particular trip or person.
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.
Uber drivers have to submit their rating of you before they see if you gave them a tip so it doesn't matter. A cash tip before you get out of the car would almost certainly guarantee a five star rating.
As long as you are doing legitimate work and earning your money there is no reason to feel shame. Uber and Lyft provide a very important service that makes a difference in people's lives. We provide rides for people to get to and from work, to get medical services, to go shopping, to see friends and family.
Speeding – Most Uber drivers don't earn much money, so they might feel pressure to complete rides quickly by speeding. Furthermore, the quicker an Uber driver completes a ride the quicker he can move onto the next fare.
Since drivers are not employees, they are independently responsible for crimes they commit, such as sexual assault. It can be difficult to bring a lawsuit against a rideshare company because they are not automatically responsible for the actions of their drivers.
