I KEEP VOICE NAVIGATION ON. It keeps riders in their place! I'm a professional... not your friend nor confidant! I'm taking you from point A to point B. And the voice navigation also lets riders know I'm a legit Uber driver.

I have been driving for 5+ years now and been using the stop request button for at least 4 of those years. Makes a huge impact on your acceptance rate. Every time you don't take a request you get dinged.

Another tip, dont ever accept a ride until you end your current ride, the app will always low ball you with stacked offer with lower fare and lower surge (and most often worst ride that nobody else wants), wait until you end your current ride then start accepting new rides with full upfront info reflecting actual surge in your area.

​ @exciterxtc ​ @GucciGamerTV Both good points. Depending on your market conditions, deadtime between pings can be a massive killer on your hourly earnings rate. And when you are dropping off in busy locations, it's not unusual to get a pickup right there. 0 downtime. 0 pickup miles. 0 pickup minutes. Most of the time, you're going to want that ride.

That depends on the market and the clientele. If you're driving in a tourist town, most people would likely tip. I picked up a couple at a hotel and they wanted to go to the nearby store across the street. Initially I was going to drop them off, but they wanted a ride back. I showed them how to add additional trips that way they could have a round trip and guaranteed the same driver. They didn't know they could do that. After all this was over, I received a $20 tip. Not all low-ball trips are bad. A little customer service can go a long way.

That's why he said turn off new request till you get there, that way you don't take a hit on your acceptance rate and just before you drop them off or just after turn on request again. Because you won't have time to decide if it's a ride you really want if you don't.... 😊

Uber took away 3/4 of my fair, and if I hadn’t made him make the changes on his app I wouldn’t have proof that the route was of his making. Because I made him make the changes I got my full fair.

Same! I make them do it, too. This one woman I picked up from the airport said her husband has her car, so she's not going home, she needs to go to a medical office, but it was the same town. Ironically Uber upped the fare for a 20min ride to $48 something and she added a tip. She said it was the first time she ever had to update something. But as she was plugging the address in, I said, "Oh, no, search the name of the business like your searching on Google. It's better for driver's to have a name, it gives us a visual, as opposed to a straight up address." But now that I know about changing the address, I'll only do it in an extreme situation, especially since I have a dashcam. Onetime this person tricked me by putting a far away address only to want to be dropped off around the corner. Her phone died, so she was asking me to change it, I said, "I'm not changing it. You made the request, so you have to change it." We waited for the phone to wake back up after charging, then she changed it. I called Uber and they gave me the full fair. She tricked the driver because with upfront pricing, we know where your going. And what I mean by "far," I mean heading into a busy area whereas her original destination was a few mins around the corner at a lower fare. When it happened a 2nd time, I told the pax, "I don't know why you guys are doing this. You guys are putting busy areas to make us think you're going there, then you get into the car and ask to change the destination to a few mins up the street. I love short trip rides, but the money needs to be worth it because I'm not dropping someone off for $5 unless I'm on a Quest. I'm happy to take you to the original destination that you put, otherwise you need to cancel and be matched to another driver." She sucked her teeth, and I took her to the original destination. What's funny is I saw the fare drop from $23 to $6; the other lady, the fare was $15 for 5min drive and also dropped to $6. I explained to her that she was probably having a hard time getting a ride until you put a destination in a different area, but you can't do that. Just wait for it to surge, someone will get you for a short trip.

@@HarringJessSadly, experienced riders learn the tricks that they can get away with and if they want to be let out of the car early the driver has to comply or otherwise open up a huge can of worms possibly leading to criminal charges. Not worth the trouble or risks. Just suck it up, let them out, lodge your complaint with Uber so it goes on that riders record so Uber can see a pattern develop with that rider and move on to the next.

I had 1 passenger recently act like she didn’t know how to update her destination address. I verified her name and she gave me my name in return. This ride was in the middle of the day in a very slow part of town. I asked to show her on my passenger app. She wasn’t interested in seeing the way to edit the address. She asked if I could change the address in the driver app so I did. BIG MISTAKE. After the ride was completed I noticed my fare for the ride disappeared. The app said I gave the wrong person a ride. I have been driving for both Rideshare companies for over 5 years now. The worst part wasn’t loosing the money but he 1 star rating I received. So I called and spoke to customer support. They informed me there was nothing they could do. My question to the customer service person. “ Why should a passenger get to rate the driver if they state they didn’t receive the ride in the first place? The really sad part is the same company tried to match me with the same passenger again the following week after they rated me a 1 star. I pulled up and laughed and drove off.

This one college student updated his drop off but I told him it doesn't show us where because we have upfront pricing. He said it was another part of campus and he was just being lazy because he didn't want to walk LOL! I said, "Okay, no problem."

Exactly. They also need the app on their phone and show me that they can't change it. I've done it very sparingly, but I'm very reluctant because I prefer that they know how to do it. They just need to lean into the camera and say their account name, and that they are requesting the driver update their destination.

So where i live its 33miles to the airport. I logged in as a passenger and its $62 Without tip. As a driver that Ride pays $31. Yea uber is taking 50% of the trip...... sometimes more

Dashers, Uber eats Drivers and Grubhub drivers should pick up orders only when it says 1 Mile = $1+ Tips, Example Order value $5, 7Miles, this is a Bad order. If the Order value is $5+ Tips, distance is 3 miles or 4 miles this is a good order. When you are driving you should consider Depreciation of the Vehicle, wear & tear of vehicle, Gas used for driving and your time spent driving the vehicle. If you are not following these rules then you are wasting your time and Money. 👍✌goodvibes🙂🙏

To be fair to riders i also stop requests after accepting a ride. Riders shouldn't have to wait for you to drop off the first ride then go to them.That can be a long (too long) a wait for them they could be searching other options. They usually get mad and end up canceling or not being there. Then you might say well too bad i will just wait, cancel when told and take their money. Would you want to be treated like that? Uber loses business doing that practice. So i do what Uber should be doing imo.

Definitely didn’t know about the destination icon or drop down icon while on a ride. Been driving for 4 months now and still learning the ins and outs of the app. I wouldn’t turn of ride requests only for the fact that I didn’t want to waste time in finding new rides. But lately, I’ve found myself losing time anyway because I would get rides that would send me to dead areas. It’s difficult to be driving and entertaining the passenger(s) and also trying to figure out where the destination is for that queued ride. I’m not one to cancel a ride but I’m starting to feel like I’d have to. But now seeing this video, I’m definitely going to stop accepting rides while driving. Thanks for the tips.

Thank you for the tips! Since they removed the coffee break icon i have no idea how stop request while i have passenger. I really appreciate it since uber customer support didn't know what to do. Also destination editing and muting the navigation guidance will be very helpful!

Thank you!

My tip is to turn off UberX and Comfort rides, but have Uber XL ON. there are fewer requests, but I get a lot of those after I have picked up and driving current. On Lyft I do only XL rides ( because there is virtually no surges outside of an occasional $1 or $1.25.) I average $32+ per hour this way and over $1 per mile for ALL miles and I live about 20 miles from my driving area. I also always turn the apps on as soon as I get in the car. This way I get long pick up pay.

Rather than pressing the button that stops new requests when you are constantly receiving them, just click the coffee icon in the lower right corner of the screen to pause the new requests. By doing this, you collect any surges that you ride through before during and after your trips with passengers! It’s also a great way to pick up a surge and drive to a new area before unpausing the app and give rides at your new location

I didn't know we could change the destination.. I'll use that for the elderly and five star passengers. But not everyone.

Thank you so much!!! Oh, in my latest version of the Uber driver app, there's no magnifying glass. I have to go into the preferences and there's an area preferences section under the Uber X, Uber Eats, etc. option list. I had to search quite a bit for it initially. It's a bit of a hassle for me versus the magnifying glass that there once was. 🙄

I was told by Uber support that customers can add a tip when they request a ride? Is this true? I had a fare that stated $25+ and when I ended the trip it only paid $15.80….

No, its the pax being sneaky by adding just the town. I decline those trips.

Unless you are ok with the address change never let the pax know that the driver can change it. Just play dumb. I always turn off "ride requests" after picking up a rider to stop them from making any changes to the ride because i do not like surprises to the original ride that I agreed to take. "Stop New Requests" prevents the rider from making changes of any kind to their ride. If they then want out early so be it.

Clocked on this vid thinking I would know all these but i had no clue I could change the address!

I’ve set destination mode on a couple of different time while driving Uber and it had my pick up on my way home but the drop off was 8 miles one way past my house (destination). The second time I was heading home from the North Shore and it had me backtrack 5 miles to pick up my ride. I don’t use Destination Mode anymore since the majority of times I’ve used it, it malfunctions

Hello. I've learned so much from your videos. I'm a brand new driver. But can you explain why I can NOT see the fare for the ride before I accept it on my screen? I don't even see the entire trip destination from pick up to final destination. I find myself just accepting rides I would have normally declined. Please help

I knew about the address thing, but they changed it up LOL! Also, when I turned off voice navigation, this male pax freaked out, he thought I was taking him somewhere else. He tried to open the door of the car to get out while the car was in motion. I told him he CANNOT do that. I informed him I was going to short cut that he's probably not as familiar with, but I can pull over somewhere well lit for you to reorder your ride or you can sit quietly. He sat quietly, then I turned the sound of the GPS back on. Once we were on the highway, he calmed down when he started seeing the stores and feeling more comfortable. He gave a tip in the app of $2, but at least he gave a supportive amount. Freaked me out when he started yanking at the door - thank goodness my doors cannot unlock unless I unlock them.

Two things to add, first, in my market a few weeks ago they changed the location of how to thank a passenger for a tip. Took me couple days to find it but it is still there but smaller in the finished rides info screen so you have to look harder. Second, just learned this useful tip from another video that if you do not want a rider to make adjustments to their ride while you are in route like adding stops definitely use the "stop requests" button and it will not only stop new ride requests from coming in but also not allow the current rider to make new requests such as adding stops or changing the destination. If the rider attempts to do so and complains that they are not able to make changes just play dumb as to why they cannot do so......lol

One feature that has been around for some time is the Drivers insight dashboard. Usually located in Home Screen but once a week Uber was sending it through the inbox. It included information for trips speeding and a new feature recently added was harsh braking (at least in my market) the Harsh braking is or was severely too sensitive. Exiting the interstate at 70 mph, with a short exit ramp was considered harsh braking even though it was steady, not slamming brakes. Another was coming up to yellow light on a 45-50 mph highway and not enough room to go through, especially with a short yellow light. 07/03 was the last time I received the insights dashboard through inbox, and not on home screen anymore. Last week the 07/03 dashboard link stopped working giving me an error message when opening. Do you have any knowledge of this stopping? If they bring back, I hope they work on the calculations. Slowing down at a yellow light using firm, but steady braking especially with good brakes isn’t harsh braking but they calculate it a certain way using your phone. It no longer shows up in Home Screen and hasn’t sent in inbox in over 3 weeks, used to weekly. Thanks

Another way to see the tips is to select the last ride payment menu. I like to do it that way because many times I've noticed that Uber does not send me the notification or the system is slow or delayed. The other reason is because you can thank each passenger by just pushing the button under each rider list much quicker and then scroll down to the next pax without leaving that screen.

I rarely can go into DM when I'm online. I have to go offline first, pick destination, and then go back online.

There's so many drivers in my area that you have to accept back to back or sit for 30 minutes or more.

@annmccarthy46 what is tech decryptor?

We need a button to add a drive through stop for Maccas as the customer often asks but doesn't add it

Uh... No. The last thing anybody wants is riders being encouraged to request drive thru rides. Imagine agreeing to that and then being forced to wait 20 minutes in the maccas line. Burning gas, not making 18 cents per minute for your time

I didn't know about drivers being able to change their (riders) destination i would imagine the rider had to agree with that change since it would change their costs. And for their safety as well. Alot of times they (riders) claim they r not allowed to put in a stop. Which may or may not be true that would be a way to test that out. 4:29

Thoughts on the Uber Pro card?

It is the worst platform, the discounts that they give to the passenger are assumed by the "earnings" of the owner of the vehicle, it is a real scam that people should report.

New uber app update can detect if your device has been compromised or not.

Can someone tell me why I don't get to see upfront fares on uber so I can make an informed decision to take the ride?

Case in point, last Saturday I accepted a ride after I picked up the rider and this Ride was 115 miles

I think in your market you might not have upfront pricing yet. I would ask the passenger where they're going. You can decline and cancel, your an independent driver. I did that to someone who tried to trick me by updating the drop off while I was on another ride. I never heard the "Drop off updated," so when I picked them up, started the trip, it said 1 hr 32 mins away, I said, "Did you change this trip from 5mins away?" They didn't answer and said, "We'll get out." No way I'm driving 90mins for $40, when in the past it was $90

So far I've been lucky with these long rides which have paid $1 a mile on average

I can’t figure out how to opt in to accept tips. Today was my first day and I want to make sure I am seeing the chips left and thinking the customer.

From the Uber website: As soon as tipping becomes available in your city, you’ll be notified in the app and by email. To start accepting tips from riders: 1) update or download the latest version of the Driver app, 2) be sure to close and restart your app and 3) tap Accept tips.

Thank you!

Uber has updated the app. You can no longer pull down upper menue to add your destination while driving. You probably need to change other things on here that you've mentioned that no longer apply. so you might want to update this video or delete it

I got a 3$ tip for driving an hour for someone 💀, I wanted to head to that area anyways but still 😂

You can also open the trip after completed and you'll see a little send thanks button

Open "See earnings Activity." One screen. Scroll down through your rides. It'll show you which rides tipped. Whether or not you "sent thanks" (little heart icon). If not, a button to "send thanks" is right there. No flipping back and forth between different screens.

The dispatcher is at Fort Lauderdale Airport Florida Night Shift, we demand that they change it immediately. He doesn't understand, he doesn't know, he doesn't have any kind of experience in this business, and I have a lot of evidence of that. Uber Home Management please change this dispatcher on night shift Fort Lauderdale FL airport immediately.

I just started driving with Uber today. I took 3 jobs. All were great but I don't see that I received a single tip. Am I missing something or did I just happen to get extremely cheap riders on my first 3 drives? Also where are ratings? Thanks.

Not all riders will tip and sometimes riders tip several days later. To see your rating, got to the menu and click your name. It may take several trips before they start calculating your rating.

Hi. I’m new to driving Uber. Does anyone else have issues where preferences disappearing? Like suddenly deliveries will be the only option? Is this because of destination mode or does it have to do with the area I am in? I can’t seem to find a straight answer to this issue. Anyone know the answer?

Ok so we found out that the reason she could only make deliveries was because she went out of state and tried to do uber. Could that be your problem ?
