Uber

I’ve now had two reserved Uber rides to the airport fall apart at the last minute. Both times the driver cancelled shortly before pickup, and the app reassigned another driver who was way too far away to arrive on time. That left me scrambling to find another ride and paying a...

Was in the back of an Uber with two other people. Put my seatbelt on, felt it click like normal. At the end of the ride, it wouldn’t release. Red button wouldn’t move, nothing. Driver claimed I put it on backwards, which I know I didn’t. He tried pulling it out, then grabbed a...

Lately it feels like people who reserve Ubers in advance think they booked a private car for the whole day. That’s not how it works. I usually have back to back reservations. Once the five minute wait time is up, I’m gone. If I wait longer and miss my next reservation, Uber...

Tried to treat myself today with an Uber Black and a beat up Toyota minivan pulled up. Asked the driver how that was Black and he showed me his screen — it was an UberX on his end. So Uber basically showed me one thing, showed him another, and kept the difference. Feels super...

My partner had an early flight this morning and scheduled an Uber for 3:15am. She put her luggage in the trunk, said goodbye, and the car pulled away… without her in it. Within 30 seconds I heard yelling outside, she was literally standing in the street while the driver just...

Had an Uber from the airport train station with three big bags. Two went in the trunk, one stayed with me. When we got to my place, I went straight to the trunk and even knocked on his window when it didn’t pop open, but he just drove off while I was yelling and waving. He did...

Had a weird one today, ordered an Uber to work, everything normal, said hi, matched the plate, offered my PIN like usual. Driver flat-out says he doesn’t “do pins” and tells me to get out. He wouldn’t cancel either, so I had to do it myself. Thankfully no cancellation fee, but I...

Second time this has happened, booked an Uber at the airport, driver shows up and says he doesn’t allow luggage in his car. Then refuses to cancel and marks me as a no-show. Support’s been useless so far. Is this some kind of scam for cancellation fees or are these drivers just...

I tried pre-booking an Uber home from DFW after my flight, since the app offered a small discount. Entered all my flight info, thinking it would track delays. Turns out, that feature didn’t help at all. My flight was delayed 90 minutes (known for hours), yet Uber still sent a...

Saw a reel claiming Uber charges more if your Amex is selected as the payment method. They even showed screenshots comparing prices. If that’s true, it kinda kills the whole point of the monthly Amex credit. Has anyone else tried checking this?

I noticed something weird, when I check fares with Uber One, they’re usually 10–15% higher than without it. Did a little digging and looks like this has been reported for a while. Seems like the algorithm is adjusting based on what it thinks you’ll pay, which kind of cancels out...
