If your rating is between 4.80 and 4.93, you are still a good passenger, but you've gotten quite a few less-than-perfect ratings.

Originally Answered: Why do Uber drivers have a 4.8 rating ? That means they're rated pretty close to average by their passengers who choose to rate them. Riders can give drivers 1 to 5 stars. Drivers must rate each passenger after each drive.
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.
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.
Ratings are anonymous, so rating a driver or rider does not affect your account, but having a high rating means you are more likely to be prioritized by drivers if you are a rider, and more likely to appeal to riders if you are a driver.
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.
The basic consensus is this: Anything above a 4.9 is excellent, possibly even worth bragging about on Tinder; the 4.8 range is good; the 4.7 range is merely fine; the 4.6 range is nearing the borderline. Once your rating dips below 4.6, drivers start thinking you might be a little sketchy.
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.
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.

Drivers have always been able to rate riders after the trip, but now they will be able to leave specific feedback that Uber can then surface to riders so they can improve their rating. Whether riders take the criticism to heart or dismiss it as patronizing, though, remains to be seen.
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.
Even though there are no longer severe penalties for having a low acceptance rate, Uber does encourage drivers to keep their rideshare and Uber Eats acceptance rate as high as possible. Passengers and delivery customers must be able to rely upon drivers to be there when they are needed.
