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.

How Does Uber Determine Pick Up Location? Uber uses GPS technology to pinpoint your location. The Uber app will tell the driver where they need to pick you up and drop you off before accepting the ride request.
