What happens if you give an Uber driver one star?

By giving 1 star, you are **dramatically** affecting the driver's rating. Several low ratings such as this will result in a Driver being deactivated from the platform. IOW — fired from his job, in many cases his ONLY source of income. The rating is sometimes abused by riders.

You can change the star rating you gave a driver from the receipt emailed to you after your trip. From the email, select “Rate or tip.” You'll be redirected to your account on uber.com where you can update the rating. If a trip was canceled, you won't see the option to rate the driver.

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).
