What is the average Uber passenger rating?

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. But there's also a way to see a ride-by-ride breakdown for the last 500 trips you've taken.



That’s an excellent question, but there isn’t a single, official “average” Uber passenger rating that applies everywhere. Here’s a breakdown of what we know:

The General Consensus

Based on data from Uber releases, driver forums, and passenger reports over the years, the average passenger rating in the U.S. and similar markets is typically between 4.6 and 4.9 out of 5.

  • Most common estimate: You’ll often see 4.8 cited as a reliable average.
  • Why so high? Ratings are heavily skewed toward 5 stars. Anything below a 5 is often considered a “bad” rating by drivers, who are themselves rated.

Why There’s No Official Number

  1. Dynamic and Localized: Ratings vary significantly by city and region. Passengers in a dense, fast-paced city might have a slightly lower average than those in a suburban or rural area due to different expectations and behaviors.
  2. Private Data: Uber treats aggregate passenger rating data as internal. They don’t publish a global or national average.
  3. It’s a Two-Way System: The focus is often on driver ratings (which Uber does share to promote quality). Passenger ratings are primarily a tool for drivers to screen their pickups.

How to Find Your Personal Rating

You can easily check your own average: 1. Open the Uber app. 2. Tap the menu button (☰) in the top corner. 3. Tap your name at the top of the menu. 4. Your rating will be displayed under your name.

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.

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.

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.

4.92 is really good. You have to remember that not everyone understands how the ratings work.

Is 4.75 a bad Uber rating? 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.

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.

If you have a perfect 5.0 rating, you are either the perfect passenger or you're brand new. Five-point-oh: the elusive perfect rating. Five stars means perfection, no faults, and excellence.

MORE DETAILS

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.

Is 4.53 a bad Uber rating? 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.

Don't worry. 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).

4.83 is perfectly fine for both drivers and passengers. Most drivers don't care at all about either.

I'm not being oblivious or anything but I am pretty sure I haven't done anything that warranted a 1-star rating, always being clean and on-time etc... I know that in the US ratings can get quite harsh and if you don't give a good tip you might not get a good rider rating, so 4.8 is considered great.

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.
