What happens when you give an Uber driver a low rating?
Consistent low ratings are monitored by Uber. If your score remains low for an extended period, Uber may cancel your account or ban you from working with them. This is why it's so important that you know how you can improve your rating.

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.
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.
Low Uber Driver RatingsYou should ensure that your rating is always above 4.8 because if it falls below 4.6, you risk deactivation. Uber allows the drivers to pay customer service fees to get reinstated.
Your rating is the average of your last 500 trips, and is measured out of 5 stars. Ratings are anonymous, so neither you nor the driver partner will see individual ratings, just a breakdown of overall ratings in the Privacy Centre.
What's considered a bad rider rating? Anything below 4.5 stars isn't ideal. If you check your rating and it's lower than you like, the only way to make it better is to take more rides and take heed to the following advice. It may take a while, but that 3.9 can grow to 4.6 in no time.
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.
A 4.5 rating for a driver is very low. Low enough that they risk being deactivated if it doesn't at least fluctuate above 4.6. Low enough that a driver with a 4.5 rating cannot qualify to accept SELECT requests. My Uber passenger rating is 4.32 as I do not give tips.
When you take an Uber ride, you get to rate your driver — but your driver also gets to rate you as a rider. You may already know how to view your average Uber rating as a rider. For most people, it's probably floating somewhere between 4.5 and 5 stars.
Uber's driver app can detect and record if you are accelerating aggressively, stopping quickly instead of gradually and if you are exceeding the speed limit for a specific stretch of roadway.
We will notify you if we detect fraudulent behaviour on your account, explaining the activity that we have detected. Engaging in fraudulent activities, even once, can lead to permanent deactivation from the platform.

This can leave you with longer wait times, and — if your rating drops too low — there's the risk of being booted from Uber completely.
