“Good”

Brett H.

Uber is a great way to get around the city. They have a convenient app, fast cars, and polite drivers. Sometimes prices can be high during peak demand

Top Critical Review

“Scam company”

R M N.
10/23/24

Unfortunately there is a zero star to rate this company. I was charged $110.00 for a "membership" that was never requested as I very rarely use this stupid service (it was used once since last year). After countless hours of messaging, as they do not dignify a mortal customer with a phone call in order to be as anonymous and detached as possible to keep on offering no customer service, I was informed that nice Uber would reimburse a whole amount of $30.00. What a scam! NEVER again will I deal with this "mafia" like so called company. Horrible!

I left my phone in the car during my last ride. I have been trying to contact them through the website for 12 days with no luck. It is obvious that every response is automated, and there is absolutely no way to reach a human at the company as a rider.

Uber... where are you? You have failed me. I need my belongings returned.

Verified purchase

Uber charges a service fee to the end user/ consumer for fees that should be charged to the business. They will give you a BS explanation that they aren't charging you but after 10 back and forth emails the $8.09 service fee has ran it's course with me. They will not be giving be a refund. The food order was 52$ plus tax$7.75 delivery fee$1.99 and extra gas delivery fee 2.99 plus the $8.07 BS FEE. 83$ ish dollars charged in my card! BEWARE THEY WILL GET YOU

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use them. Hidden fees that show up after purchase

My girlfriend use this frequently but every single time that I used this service I had bad experiences. Usually the drivers don't know the city at all and they always take the longest route, in order to charge the maximum fare.

Also, I have bad experience dealing with rude drivers.

Hello uber,
Why waiting time was charged
First of all the car came early than 7 minutes as texted when the booking was made. The driver didn't even text me that the car was here. I saw it through the window that the car had arrived.
You said the charge was £763 but you charged me nearly £10. This is too much, you stole from my bank account. Now I do not trust thieves like you anymore. This uber is a fraudulent business of stealing venerable customers.
Uber is not trusted anymore as they charge customers extra of what they initially stated. This is a scam company so stay away from uber. I took a ride from Easterly Road to Leeds coach station and the driver left me far from my destination and I had to walk a long distant
Now I would prefer different mini cab companies other than uber.

So the uber estimate said that it should cost me no more then $4. Well I went 1.94 of a mile an the lady charged me 4.85$ 85 cents more then the intended price. I went 2.2 miles an back for 4$ just a week ago. This is preposterous for 4.85$ I could have just Walked or taken the bus an it be cheaper to go to an from my location. They ripped me off I will never do uber again

Definitely the best ground transportation service in Arizona! Tonight, I requested a pick up to and and a return from an Arizona Coyote game. Both drivers, Thomas and Daniel arrived within 5 minutes of my requests. Thomas picked me up in Scottsdale and brought me to the Arena and Daniel drove me back to Scottsdale.

Both drivers were extremely professional and polite. Their cars were very clean. All around, this was an excellent experience. The best part of all was the price, as I have taken many cabs and I believe Uber is by far the best priced company for what you get. Also, I did not smell like a cab when I exited their vehicles.

I will never use another company for a local ride.

Just wanted to say thank you for your great service and nice drivers!

Hello Mr. Ronald with the Gray Toyota Corolla RPX771. It's nice to know that you're too slow to know that you pulled up to the wrong building and didn't bother to inform anyone which building you were at. But you did have the nerve to cancel the ride for your mess up. But it's typical of a lazy driver who doesn't want to do their job. Funny how that works, if you don't like your job and you can't do it correctly then find a different job.

I think I summed it up in my title. I like the service, the safety drive insurance policy makes you feel really confident, but the rates. I mean you are not being exposed by bad customer service or potential dangers of driving a cab, but still the idea of Uber was to get a lower rate than a taxi ride, right?

Two weeks before a concert I was taking my family to I scheduled an Uber reservation for pick up and drop off at the concert. I also scheduled the pick up from the concert to return home. Our driver taking us there was great, showed up early and got us closer than we planned. However, the return ride got cancelled 10 minutes after we were supposed to be picked up. Stranding my entire family until after Midnight until magically they found a driver when I had to make another request, but instead of the $45 rate I reserved, I had to pay $150 to get us home. Word of caution! Making a reservation does not guarantee a ride even though it should be considered a contract. F Uber. Never using them again. I'll pay the extra and guarantee service by using a private driving company.

Do not do absolutely anything for this company. They're a rip off! You can accept a delivery trip for $8.25, but after you've driven 47 minutes, they're going to pay you $2.25! Civil lawsuit soon! So, yea, drive a little! I'm just saying!

Tip for consumers:
Don’t do anything with Uber! They have drivers eating out of customers orders and drinking customers soda! It’s sad but Uber knows this. Customers calls in to report these issues, but Uber keeps them on! I’ve informed my family and friends not to order food through Uber! Some drivers will put your food, in the exact same spot a customers dog has pooped in, in their cars! You need to go to Uber reviews and please read them! Unbelievable!

Called and Uber black car to get my husband and me to DFW airport. The estimate for the premium black car was $91.00 but we decided to go for it this one time. We went the 20 miles from downtown Dallas to DFW in about 40 minutes since it was 7:00 in the morning. When I got settled on our plane I checked my account to see that they had charged me $152.00! I have been going back and forth with them for a week now and all I get is "The fare you were charged is within our estimate for a trip from your pickup location to destination. As a result, the fare was not adjusted." Even though I have told them it was NOT what they estimated, I continued to get the same reply 4 different times. I finally just cancelled my account. There was no other recourse except to now tell my story so someone else won't get ripped off like I was! By the way, the taxi ride back during evening rush hour was $50.00!

I'm not sure how this company operates, but I'm not a frequent user of Uber and probably used them 3 times which is a stretch, over the course of a few years. I tried accessing my account for UberEats and was told my account was suspended and will not be lifted due to a violation. They gave me no notice, no warning, nothing. I then asked what was violated, the time and date and they sent me the terms and conditions. I asked again and received another response, the suspension will not be lifted. I'm glad I don't use them at all and I never heard of a suspension on an account that's not used and no one can tell you how or when you violated a code/terms and conditions. I'm not sure what's going on with a lot of these companies lately but the service has been UNDER the ground.

My upfront price was $44.56 last night when I got out of the car at my destination. I woke up this morning to at price of $71.71. I did not authorize that amount. I wish to be refunded, and to have my account closed. I will not tolerate shenanigans. I will also write a review about this incident, and I will look for a class action law suite against Uber.
Thank you in advance,

Used Uber Eats 1 time in Atlanta GA, now my card has been used for other transactions to Uber. No way to let Uber know the possibility of their drivers selling credit information. Will never use this service again!

I use Uber a few times to pick me up between 5:30 am and 5:45 am for work. Someone came each time... on time. I scheduled a pickup 4 hours ahead of time and no one came and Uber didn't send me a message telling me no one would come. I missed work today. If they had told me no one was coming like they supposed to do, then I could've call around for a taxi. Uber is not trustworthy. Don't confirm something if you are not sure, Uber.

Tip for consumers:
Dont depends on pickup in the mornings. Untrustworthy company

I just spent 45 minutes of my life trying to simply update password and my 'Home' information on the Uber phone App. What an absolute joke.

I was in a hurry to get somewhere and made the huge mistake of trying to give this company another chance... all they managed to do was to waste my time.

Save time, money and frustration... use Fasten, Lyft or anybody else. This company just needs to close!

JOSE went to the apartment complex next door
Instead of our place I saw him just sitting there so I walked over and asked was he Jose then at the same time a very rude obese woman walks over and says no he's here for me! Jose says My husband time ran out because he didn't come out five minutes ago…so I'm here for her! No apology no nothing! We waited in the hot sun for 30 minutes no show! Arrogant and very rude and a lack of professionalism! Let alone my husband is very disabled sitting out in the sun with his oxygen TANK!

Tip for consumers:
Don’t count on JOSE in El Cajon

We caught our Uber driver stealing our phone in Las Vegas. Uber did nothing to resolve the situation. And then they sent us an email stating they investigated and the case was closed. Please take Lyft or a taxi.

I waited over 20 mins for 3 different uber drivers. I got charged the cancellation fee because my stupid driver cancelled on me as it looked like on the app he was getting lost. He made like 3 u turns on the street before giving up and said I never popped out for my pickup. I'm on a public st by the bus stop. Other people were getting picked up by uber on the same corner I was and they all got their rides faster than me. The reason why uber didn't return my refund is because it past the 30 days which I understand but I didn't get my notification until it was too late and on top of that they said the fee is to compensate the driver for his time spent driving to my location. Are you kidding me? Driver never showed up. He most likely picked up another rider on the way. I was at a crowded baseball event. If we can track the driver on the uber app, uber should be able to track to see if the driver ever arrived to the pickup location. What a joke.

I tried to schedule a trip for Sunday. When I went into the app to schedule a ride, it immediately dispatched a driver. I pressed cancel on the app several times with no results. I then saw who the driver was and called her. She thanked me and didn't come. 5 minutes later, another Uber driver came. He cancelled the trip after hearing my issue asking that the customer not be charged. Two minutes later another driver came. I then was charged a cancellation fee.

I love Uber and it has it made it really convenient to get around. My only issue is their receipts are like 4 pages long. It is not necessary. I travel for business and we need to expense these. Can't they make them one page please!?!?!?

Why do you continue to overcharge rides and call it a cancellation fee. I never moved from my original site. Uber driver stopped several blocks away, then turned around and left and stuck me with a $5 cancellation fee. He cancelled me, not me cancelling him.

Arrived at port Columbus Ohio few days ago and did not have a ride. For the first time, I downloaded Uber app. To get a short ride home. Prior to my arrival, I was in Chicago and checked their fair prices and it seemed inexpensive. Once I arrived in Columbus, I requested a ride which was higher by $9.25 So I thought maybe it was after hours and that would be ok. The driver arrived early and would not wait for me to get out of the airport so he took off because I was not outside immediately. I was not happy so I got on the Uber app again and requested a new ride. This time the fair was twice the original amount. I was totally upset. But who can I call. The drive informed me that they only pay him $1 per mile regardless of how much Uber charges the customers. I felt sorry for him and told him that I personally would not use Uber again.
