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. It's important to understand a few things about how you are rated as a rider.

In the context of the Uber ecosystem in 2026, a passenger rating of 4.61 is generally considered low. While it might seem like a high score in a traditional academic setting, Uber's unofficial standard for a "good" passenger usually sits above 4.7 or 4.8. Many drivers are selective about the trips they accept to ensure their own safety and vehicle maintenance; some may even set their app filters to ignore requests from anyone below a 4.7. A 4.61 often signals to a driver that you may have been late for pickups, rude, or perhaps closed the car door too forcefully in the past. Interestingly, international travel—particularly in countries like Mexico or regions in Europe—can sometimes deflate a rating due to different local tipping or etiquette expectations. To improve your score, focus on being at the curb before the car arrives, being polite, and avoiding eating or leaving trash in the vehicle.
