Unfair ratings from Uber drivers
I have always been a polite Uber passenger and yet I have a 4.67 rating. I haven’t been doing anything different compared to my friends who have 4.85 ratings. I noticed that Uber drivers outside of New York City tend to give me 5 star ratings while New York City Uber drivers tend to give me lower ratings. Are a lot of New York City Uber drivers biased towards certain passengers?
This may seem like a stupid thing to fuss about but if your rating dips below a certain threshold, fewer drivers are going to pick you up
Why does this matter literally in any way? Are you truly butthurt over the uber driver not liking you as much as your friends?
Well, if your rating dips below a certain threshold, more drivers would not want to pick you up. And that is a problem.
Yes because they're really establishing a hard cutoff at 4.5. Unless you're one of the animals with a sub 3 you're nitpicking over nothing dude.
I'm 4.84 but who really cares.
Wow - MS for this comment - you have issues dude
Well, people have to care because if your rating is low, no driver is going to want to pick you up
You are a F*cking loser dude! Haha I can't believe that you have lower than a 4.9 rating!! Haha peasant!! I think I would get sick to my stomach if I breathed the same air as you.
Honestly all jokes aside, you probably fart alot in the Uber. Or smell really really bad. One or the other, either way, get it sorted and your Uber ELO ranking will go up
Well, your speculations are entirely inaccurate. Do you use Uber mainly outside of NYC? I can’t believe I have such a low rating without doing anything wrong
It's New York. Being white in that city is enough to offend some people. Half the drivers there barely speak passable English.
4.91 step off son
Literally how?? Do you tip?
Nah never tip but I’m generally not a douche. Not saying you are but a lot of people these days are inconsiderate and don’t even realize it.

Had a 4.97 until the Gf got on the account, rip. Down to 4.82. The struggle.
Maybe that's a warning sign
5.0. Can't relate.
What are you jerking off in the backseat?
Yes and if the driver needs a little reach around, happy to help out with that too.

Sorry to hear that bro. Hey, maybe it's one more thing you can sue your bank for when they make you return to the office? Afterall you'll need them to pick you up exactly at your doorstep to avoid the violent attacks that are around the corner. Keep it in mind
I probably don’t have a 4.99 or something because at times I have needed a ride with my shirt off and with my bike, so may have gotten sweat on the seats.
Checking in with some real advice from someone with a 4.99-
the biggest thing drivers ding you for is being late. if you want a 5 star rating, be ready right when the uber arrives. this is the big difference between me and people I know with a 4 rating.
I always tip, but I'm honestly not sure if this even impacts it. i believe uber is double blind (so they don't see tip/rating until after they rate you?). i also often tip the next day when I get my email receipt, so clearly I'm not getting bad reviews for that.
other than that, just be a polite normal person and you should get 5 stars the vast majority of the time.
last thing is just don't be an animal when drunk- have friends get their ratings torpedoed by a 1 star when they're ubering around with 6 drunk people acting like apes.
You are a nervous wreck
I have a 4.19 rating... My friends love to make racists jokes when I'm ordering it
I have a 4.93 with 100+ rides. I try to avoid other people riding on my fare as you can only guarantee your own behavior.
