If a passenger is wearing headphones, that's the "I don't want to talk" symbol.
I play light pop hits quietly because a silent ride is way too awkward.
Don't fart.
😂

How Much Do Rideshare Drivers Make #12 don't be a dipshit
70 cent a mile passages should give drivers 5 stars every time .. you have to be a complete jerk as passenger or diver if not .
#13 always share your marijuana with your passengers 🚬
How Much Do Rideshare Drivers Make very helpful LOL
How Much Do Rideshare Drivers Make Don't stick your nose in someone's personal conversation if the passengers have not included you in the conversation. Don't be a smart-ass and make commentary on stuff that's none of your business. We don't need it.
Good video! however I wanted to point out: yes you CAN cancel trips even after you pick up the Uber rider and you're on the road. Lyft is more difficult but it can be done. If you have rude pax arguing in the vehicle, you stop in a safe location, cancel the ride and ask them to exit the vehicle. You don't have to put up with BS from people, remember IT'S YOUR CAR.
if you like using gig aps like uber, you should try the app PICKL. It pays people $5 to to take pictures of grocery products while shopping. It's really convenient since it doesn't take too much time.
Rule #11 Don't fantasize that you're The Transporter wearing a Tux and doing crazy maneuvers
David Detweiler unless you really do have a body in the trunk! In that case, always wear a tux
I'm sure we all have the same moves as JS haha
Shit this is who I think I’m while driving 😂
You should do , don'ts for passengers
#7 don't fart if you have a passenger in your car also you can get deactivated that's happened to me twice I had a passenger in my vehicle and I farted it stunk so bad and they deactivate me 💔😢😪 that's not fair that's my car and I can fart all I want huh 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Fellow driver here.
One correction: do not ever ever hit on a passenger. EVER. And if they try to hit on you tell them it is against Uber and Lyft policy. You stated that discomfort and potential to report is the reason to avoid. Not quite. The reason to avoid it is it is strictly against Uber and Lyft policy. So even if you feel you are using your best judgement, it is still not ok.
Why does this policy exist? Because many people are not super comfortable expressing discomfort with something. So even if the attention in unwelcome, the passenger may not express this. Also, it is generally forbidden to hit on people when there is a power differential. Ex: boss and supervisor or teachwr and student. In this situation, if you are the passenger, you may feel trapped in the situation because you are in a motor vehicle with someone that may now know your home address. If you are the driver, you may feel uncomfortable but be unable to express it because passenger may rate badly or make a claim against you that risks your driver status. Either way, there is a power imbalance and it is best to not hit on people.
Now, I haven't even mentioned that you are a male driver and women already get a lot of male attention and may not want more of it while trying to relax in a ride home. But this is another thing. As a female driver, I have had many passengers express relief that I am a female and it is due to male drivers behaving in creepy ways. And everyone defines creepy a bit differently.
In summary, please change your advice to say to not hit on passengers. This falls under the "don't be an asshole" rule but needs special calling out because many drivers don't seen to get it.
company man geez
When I book a $25 ride & there are stains all over the back seat & no AC on a 90 degree day. Well. I am not going to be happy, aside from that most drivers are great, happy to tip & give 5 stars
99% of rider's that say they tip, don't tip.
@@teambean951 we don’t have too dickhead
As for conversation...ask .Hey how's your night going...if they respond Fine how about yours...conversation is ok...if they respond Fine thanks...and do not ask about yours...do not say another word unless they initiate
Great video however I disagree with not playing jazz. Unless you have young people in the car, you can't go wrong with smooth jazz playing in the car.
NY Uber Driver Jazz is safe imho
NY Uber Driver I love jazz
Anything that equals relaxing or chill is great. Ed Sheeran is a great choice. When they leave you to go back to jamming those air guitars. Unless a grandma requests some Dio than your jamming.
I agree...Jazz or Sade or TOTO....cant go wrong
Dave Horst Why are you dumping on Jazz? Oh you did say its boring. You have no idea how many passengers Love Jazz. It just shows how uninformed your statement was. I've gotten stars and comments about America's only true music JAZZ.
When you ask for a 5 star rating, that can also backfire negatively and cause you to get a one-star.
I always greet the rider (whatever time of day) and ask them if the air is a comfortable temp and if they would like to listen to the radio if so what is their fav station type of music etc. If they seem comfortable with the questions or start talking then, I make sure to ask how their day is going and see if they open up...if not I have learned to leave them alone after that bit..but sometimes you can tell if someone is feeling anxious from the akward silence so I do this bit to make them feel comfortable and see that I'm a nice guy that's not going to take them to some dark allyway lol. And I usually get five stars, and more often lately good comments on the feed back...respect and politeness is what I've learned is the easiest way to keep your rating up I'm still holding a 4.90 😊
zee55887
It looks like you also have taken the advice of the "rideshare professor"....great tips...thats what I do also...380 trips... 4.98 with LYFT
Zee, you and I follow the same formula. It always works out fine
Silence doesnt always mean theyre anxious. I know i dont like forced conversation and sometimes I just dont feel like talking.
I have been doing Uber for about 5m months now. I have been getting 5star ratings from customers. The highest Uber rating I have is 4.85. Why is the rating so low?
Who am I Dr. Phil? The hell I care if they feel awkward cause it's quiet?
Each trip is different. Each rider is different. There is not one way to deal with everyone. Greet all riders pleasantly. You have to make the next move based on the rider. Some want to talk the whole trip and some won't say a word. My music selection is usually pop (vanilla) or electronica with no profanity. On longer trips I will ask the rider what they would like to hear and oblige. As long as you're driving safely, courteous and have manners you will be just fine. I've had all types of people from all walks of life ride safely with me and my demeanor is the same. Keep your car clean. Don't allow anyone to smoke inside your vehicle. Be polite from beginning to end. If the rider wants you to go the way they want to go via their directions just let them navigate. Help those who could use your assistance getting in and out of your vehicle. Help load/unload items or at least offer to help. Go above and beyond to provide a great experience for a 5 minute ride or a 45 minute ride. Finally, smile at the riders. You'd be surprised at the positive results. All these are my opinions based on my personal experiences as a ride share driver for nearly 4 years.
I do the exact same thing my dude
Does anyone else NOT play music unless by request?
The one time silence was kind of an issue-- a rider couple spent their 10 minute trip loudly, wetly, continuously locking lips. I thought of turning on music but it would been to cover MY embarrassment. They obviously had no concern for either music or my delicate sensibilities LOL.
The only time I've put on music is when ask. Or if a very long ride.
Michael Walker this driver thanks you! During taxi class, we are even taught When pax enters, Turn Radio Off!
shockawha9 so PAX is what taxi company call the person that called for a taxi. For Uber they are called riders. It would be interesting to go through some of the classes that taxi driver takes.
Michael Walker I guess Uber is still passing the deception of Rideshare LOL they are paying customers aka pax
Good tips ! In many times I don’t want to start a conversation specially a meaningless one.
I just had my first day with Lyft today as a driver. It wasn't very busy and I only gave a few rides, but I play easy listening music like Adult Alternative softly in the car, and when I ask each rider about the music, they said they didn't mind at all. Personally, I'd just play non offensive music quietly and just ask each person as you go.
These are all great tips. Thank you so much.
For the first tip you mention about asking for 5 stars. When customers ask about if i enjoy driving for Uber, i tend to segue into the rating system and explaining how drivers have to maintain a star rating of 4.7 and higher otherwise we get deactivated, so when a passenger rates a driver 4 stars or below that basically means to Uber to deactivate that driver. I've had so many passenger say that they never knew that the rating system was that strict for drivers. So i do it in a way to educate them, and they seem to enjoy learning the ins and outs and what we as drivers face on a daily basis.
They also love when you explain that you can add in stops. I've had so many people bar hopping that they want to go down to the gas station in town to get food, and they enter that as a destination and then ask me to wait for them to schedule another ride to a bar. In these instances i explain that they could have made it a stop on the route so they wouldn't have to pay a double fare instead they would just be charged a small wait time that will usually be cheaper then re-booking a ride. They seem to love these little nuggets of info, and my tips increase a lot giving them this info.
Just some food for thought based on my experiences.
thanks for all the advice man. I just signed up and got everything verified and ready to go and im stoked! I've really been thinking about making UA-cam videos as well to promote my referral code and share tips and experiences and i was wondering what kind of set up do you use? is that a green screen behind you or just a white wall? what camera do you use for your videos? mic?do you use any lamps or softboxes for lighting? any advice would be appreciated!
GREAT VIDEO AND PERSONALITY . Thumbs up 👍🏼
He serenaded us the whole ride and it was AMAZING!!!
Love all of it☆☆☆☆☆
You have amazing songs.I have never enjoyed an Uber so much.
Thank you !!!☆☆☆☆☆
Thank you for being amazing,honestly one of the best people I've spoken to & please release your songs on You tube soon!! Happy Holidays to the coolest Uber driver..☆☆☆☆☆
I love it when riders ask me when I'm going to do something with my songs?
that's when I smile and say
"I Just Did"
Thanks for the upload though no mention of my particular road game has me feeling somewhat of
a anomaly however never unoriginal!!!
Visit cosmodave69 yelp ...for riveting reviews.
Rule number 11.......never accept a pool.
Lou sandoval 😂😛🤣
Depends. I love pool when going for bonuses
I hate pool
Hilarious 😂 😂😂
Pool sucks! The awkward silence is the worse! Lol
Thanks bro , I’m thinking about doing it
Jazz is nice and smooth. DNT see any problem playing jazz Lol
Nothing at all. That's all I've been playing.
Thanks good tips man!
over 2 years 3 months driving Uber it didn't make a difference to my rating when I did everything right or when I did it the wrong way ... same rating in a small cheap car as a large spacious brand new car. cold bottled water or no bottled water ...
ronald rogerson I keep a case of bottled water but make sure the pax is able to hold it until they get out and I can put it on the seat...Gotta keep that trunk clear for all those airport runs!
Great tips!
Nice I echo a lot of this to my audience as well, good customer service plus knowing your market and the Uber/Lyft app is the basis of what you need!
Stellar video. Great job!
So great and helpful
Most paxholes dont tip anyway, 5 star rating or not.
Looking into uber in the orlando area, thanks for the tips.. subbed 😁
Gotta love it when a rider starts talking politics I just nod and pretend I agree, without actually agreeing. Of course, if we agree on things, then we can talk, otherwise, nope... nope... nope. Some riders try to bait you into a debate. Pretend to listen, pretend to agree. Diffuses the potential crappy situation.
I had a black lady talkin shit about gays, because there was some gay pride parade going on, and I was pretty much like “damn gay people”.... the next passenger said they liked gays, and I was like “I love gays, my uncle is gay”, lmao. I told my uncle, he laughed. Gotta do what I gotta do for a tip these days.
@@dougs7367 stands for dipshit....right?
1. Do not pick up unaccompanied minors.
2. Don't suck up to passengers.
3. Avoid drive thrus. If they tip upfront, then yes.
4. Don't let passengers take advantage of you.
I’m 15 years old and I constantly use The app, with your mentally your just gonna lose out on more lol
@@kiddwrld6630 You're 15? You're not even supposed to be using the app. You're a minor and not allowed in an Uber without an adult. Second, you must be new to Uber. I've been driving for four years. Drivers work for money, not charity. I urge you to read a bunch of blogs and forums from the last few years to understand what drivers go through on a daily basis and understand why we do what we do.
@@btone310 just gotta tell you, your mentality is gonna be your downfall, you think because your older you know something, I’ve been riding with Uber and lyft for over 5 years, some degenerate man with little left to do is crying his “services” aren’t getting “appreciated” by the vast majority, as a conservative male I gotta say, you liberals think your entitled to everything, almost feel bad for you being stuck, and expecting people to tip for something I can do myself
@@kiddwrld6630 First off, I'm a Trump Conservative. Thanks for assuming I was a liberal because I'm black. Second, either you're lying about being 15 because you can't be this stupid. Third, who said I hated rideshare? If I hated it so much, don't you think I would be driving? I have one of the highest ratings on the platform, even as I gotten tougher in recent years. So unless you know everything about rideshare and what drivers experience, you're better off not weighing in. And if you are 15, delete your app, now. You are not allowed to ride in a Uber or Lyft without an accompanied adult. And if those drivers gave you a ride, they need to be reported. They broke company policy.
@@btone310 it seems my response to you was deleted, no matter, your still a hoax, I doubt you understand how to drive a car or how the car even works... get your old liberal ass off this platform... hopefully this IS sent to you and not deleted
Sage advice thanks!
hey my friend... wow... I came here because lyft , you video got me interested and boom.. your logo looks like mine lol.... thanks for the video.. and nice logo.. have a great day buddy
Question:( my car will be in the shop for a while waiting for my engine). My son's car is in a car club so it has a spoiler and the name of the club on bottom windshield it's an Acura TL. Can i drive for uber/luft?
Nice content! Keep it up!
Great list for drivers to follow
Religion,sports,politics, what car you like better than the other, and don't talk on the phone unless its your job then I will pick up. My car clean inside outside being that the color I have no matter what it rains the car is washed. Just used common sense when transporting people. the up loader touched on some key points great posting thanks.
I believe that in some areas number six can be very hard to avoid in the winter months. Do you have any tips to keep a car clean during the winter?
And if the shut down your Uber account is the Money left in the account being tooken our they will deposit it?
Great video brother!!!
Thanks PJ!
What about communicating with the passengers in regards to servicing the passengers.
I like once requested a Uber and then asked the driver if he could reverse the car so that I can load my stuff in his trunk. I like then went to my stuff and then the driver backed up and then just left. Fortunately he didn’t started the trip; I like waited if he was going to cancel the trip. Until I decided to cancel it.
Do you think any driver who can listen and talk is like required communicate with its passengers straight forward verbally in regards if he/she can take the ride or not
Im thinking on been a uber drive but just a question i have a sticker on my windshield on passenger side can i have it or no im goin for inspection
I’m expected to do all this for a $3 trip ? Hell no lol
Emad Alghaim I agree 1000%
The minimum is $3.57 in Philly
Uber is bad for drivers and passengers.
Veritas Nunc - thats a stupid comment. Can you elaborate?
Im really good at reading ppl, so there are times ive talked politics, religion you name it and the conversations were awesome. I totally understand you have to be careful though, as a driver i hate driving in silence, i like to have some sort of dialogue with my passenger's. I can hold a convo about anything lol. Ive got 900 rides and a 4.92 rating btw 😩
insight001 i love it when my riders go to sleep.
I have a small lunch box sitting in the middle of the back seat. It holds 5 bottles of water. I also have a bag of mints in the pouch behind the front passenger seat. I offer both to the riders. They always say thank you. some use the ammenities and some don't. That's fine. To be upset by offering these tells me that rider has severe issues.
If you're talking politics agree with them on everything
I laughed at the don’t play your music because I’ve done that for my first 2 weeks .. everyone wanted the name of song lol.. but totally know where ya coming from.. adjust to the needs of ppl..
Here is my tip. It has paid off numerous times. Paid off with the following customers leaving my car saying I will be getting a 5 star rating. Be ready to open the door for the elderly, handicapped, the prissy females, those obviously wealthy, couples on a romantic date night, someone that seems depressed before they even get in the car, someone with groceries or some other bags or stuff, those coming or going to a fancy party, someone with a drunk companion. The list goes on and on. Then again, I come from a upper middle class family and been sub consciously trained on these issues. My rating averages 4.89 for the last two years. Yeah, I pick up at the middle class areas of California if your wondering.
Artyom Arty yeah remove a kidney
So impressed!
Good guidelines. Present yourself and greet your rider with asking for name and confirm destination. Ask how is the temperature in your car accordingly the season and offer favorite music from Pandora before step on the gas. Respect the peace of the rider and answer shortly his/her questions. Maps are not always correct withGPS offer if the rider has preferred route. Stay professional don't over reacting and record the trips. Has backup for police in case of accidents. Stay positive
Good points !!!
Number 8 i definitely do lol, playing the music. I choose certain songs depending on who in the car lol.
If you pick up a drunk and they pass out in your car, don’t touch them. Call 911 instead. I had that happen and the first responders asked me if I tried to get the person out forcefully. It can backfire on you!
I have driven to the police station and explained the situation.
And most important don’t drive for uber/Lyft!
what ?????
Wanna make money? Night Shift is right.
@@tajjanu2290 #7 don't fart if you have a passenger in your car also you can get deactivated that's happened to me twice I had a passenger in my vehicle and I farted it stunk so bad and they deactivate me 💔😢😪 that's not fair that's my car and I can fart all I want huh 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
use taxi
Great advice! I've been doing Lyft for 2 months now heard some horror stories from passengers about other Lyft drivers.
One of the horror stories I heard was the driver didn't turn the AC on drove around with the windows down in Phoenix it's a 100 degrees plus he wanted to save gas. customer asked twice to roll the windows up and turn the AC on he refused to she gave him a one-star rating.
Roy Giles Funny thing - with ac on it's even better for fuel mileage above 20mph because of open windows makes car less aerodynamical. Not something I've made up or discovered, it has been done on many autoblogs and car shows. That driver was probably the type that doesn't care anyway. But if I were a passenger in the same situation I would give a 1 as well. If the driver doesn't realize that it's really inconvenient for rider then there's no other way.
Great advice
It's my car I listen to my own music... unless someone asked me to change the station I will do so...
Also I carry Glade spray to freshen the car in between rides because people who smoke have that smoke smell on them at all times
Also when people don't want to talk don't force them to....
Some people have allergies
. Some music is inappropriate.
A lot of ppl have issues with the chemicals.
Sending this to all my drivers. They get annoying at times. Everything you said they do.
Also, make sure you're obeying the law when you drive on Uber and Lyft. When you own a vehicle you're the one who can be held liable if anything goes south. Don't allow large groups of people into your vehicle that exceed the number seat belts. Make sure you look up the law regarding car safety seats in your jurisdiction. And remember Uber and Lyft vehicles are not taxi cab drivers or licensed taxis. Because anything you allow on your property whether you own it or lease it; you can be held liable potentially. Also, be very careful with passengers who are seriously intoxicated. They can engage in behavior that is potentially dangerous to themselves, your vehicle, yourself, and other passengers. Also, in a major city be very careful driving after 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. these are tips that I'd like to share as an operator for Uber and Lyft out of Washington DC. Everything that has been said in this video is spot-on but I thought I would add my two sense considering I drive for Uber and Lyft part-time on the side. Also make sure you look up the laws in your jurisdiction pertaining to open containers of alcohol. In Washington DC for example, that is unlawful to have an open container of alcohol inside of a motor vehicle. That can result in a 60-day jail sentence and a $500 fine if you were pulled over by the police. Also be very Vigilant about what people bring in your vehicle.
What in cat-hair is a destination filter?
Jim Carey a destination filter is part of the Uber and Lyft app. If you want to go home or to a certain address. You input that into the filter and the system will search for trips heading in that direction so you don't have to run empty. You can't just use the destination filter all the time because you're only allowed to use of it on Uber every 24 hours and I think 4 on Lyft
In Illinois open container is a DUI, and many cities have public intoxication laws that prohibit having a glass of alcohol outside of a "licenced on-premise" location or private property.
mannyistheman2221 can you use the filter if you are only on the ubereats platform?
I smoke weed and fart while driving. I got a 4.98 rating and 85,573 rides.
About starting a trip before the passenger gets in the car, you can actually do that because if you don't drive anywhere and then you hit and trip it will just ask you if you are ending the trip or canceling. I do it all the time
I have satellite radio and leave it on pop2k which usually plays neutral decent music with little swearing. I do offer my passengers to change the music if they want. Sometimes they ask to play their favorite station and they appreciate that.
I have noticed that when I rate a customer t hat 5 stars show up. When i press the 5th star nothing happens. Is my rating system set up to give them 5 stars without my input. This is with Uber
You really make the idea of being an uber deiver feel comfortable. I watched a handful of your vids and they really help out. Good luck with your acting!
Thanks for the kind words Tim!
I choose normal taxi and have no problems.
I agree with everything you said.👍
They came to your care you start ride at 1 or 2 miles they cancel and they tell you ooooops i did that by accident , is it ok if i pay you cashhhh and you take me to aerpot ???? ??????? ?????? Can you tell me what s should do with this .....
Make sure you definitely get ride share insurance. ..there is a grey area that is not covered by either Uber or your personal insurance. .check it out before an accident
Word to the Wise. Free Advice to Uber drivers especially to the newbies.
How about a sign reading " Let me know what else i can do to deserve 5 Stars" ?? or is that silly?
Johnny James that's a good idea. ..amazon has some good signs that go on the back of the head rest....it just reminds the passenger
Hi i'm from sri lankan now i'm doing on uber eats drive i'm gettin 1hr per 1 order only i need more order to get can you tell me how i hach the app to get more delivery
I been riding with urber lately all of Them been good !!
Used to drive for uber this past summer in Chicago and suburbs.
I'm in Denver now. I ride with uber. At least half of the Uber cars here were messy. Chicago & suburbs were much professional than this place. But lately, I've been riding with clean cars LOL. Thank God.
I used to take Adderall and put on some techno or trance music while I used to drive in Chicago 😂😁😄
Nothing wrong with playing Jazz. Especially with the pools because not everybody likes the same music. Jazz makes the ride more of a professional feeling for some passengers.
nice video and I know a lot of this from my taxi experience from years ago.. I think it is a good video for new people. btw I quit smoking 4 years ago 🚬 ☺️ 😘 🖖
Don't ask for tips let them decide to tip you. Don't drive at your level of comfortness instead drive at the passengers level of comfortness so that for sure you get a good tip and 5 star rating and positive feedback.
Bernie Flores so if a rider tells you to break speed limit you going to do it?
Messiah38 no not that I am talking about making the ride feel safe and smooth for them. Because when I drive by myself I drive crazy 😜.
Redline every gear
even reverse?
especially reverse...
how many rides do u have? because I disagree with 3 things
thank you for confirming my own common sense. Except the jazz thing. Check out Jeff Goldblums new album. It's very hip
Cologne. Always use plenty of cologne. And those lovely smelling pine tree car fresheners.
In the winter time, if the temp is below freezing the passenger should be understanding. Have you ever tried to wash your car in the cold...
You can always place something on the floor to protect the car. Something removable. Like old paper bags.
TSBilliards86
Yes, washed it in a snow storm....you still take a shower when it's cold out, right?
So you shower outside?
What does showering have to do with washing your car? I shower everyday but I'm not gonna stand outside in three feet of snow to wash my car to pick up a bunch of people in a ice/snowstorm. There's so much snow here right now, and temps below freezing so yes I'm a person who washes my body everyday even when it's cold outside, but I don't stand outside in the snow when I shower and the waters hot. Washing my car, I'm outside, in the freezing, and snow, and sometimes it's just too too cold to put water on it. Did that last week and had to chop the frozen ice layer off my car. Won't do it again. But I would say "sorry bout the salt, but it's just too too cold to wash a car today" and then I giggle and they always say "I don't blame you"...
dude I was delivering eats and the note said "wait in the car" I pulled up, & waited for 13 minutes. I asked if everything was ok.. it was weird just sitting there waiting for them to get there food. I also was thinking of just leaving the food on the front door. what would you have done?
S. Ate it
Good stuff here!!
Dreams Are A Reality thank you!
I disagree on not asking the rider for a 5 Star Rating. I live in a very diverse area and I get alot of times I passengers who either don't speak english very well or had a friend or family pay for their ride. Also you'd be surprised how many people either forget to rate or don't even care. So in that case I have to find a way to communicate in a nice professional way that I hope that they enjoyed the trip and I would rate them 5 stars if they did the same. I'd rather take that chance in making sure they're reminded to do it or else you're losing on alot of potential ratings.
Elite Creep ASMR How Could You Forget to rate Uber does not allow you to take a new trip without reading the past one anymore
If you're going to troll for ratings, just plant the hint by telling the passenger you're going to rate them a FIVE (You may get a surprised reaction since some passengers don't know they are rated)
How about a sign reading " Let me know what else i can do to deserve 5 Stars" ?? or is that silly?
I can deal my any customer
Every one has different people
You get more money if you don't start the trip until the passenger is ready to go. The pay for "wait" time is more than travel time.
I'm about to start and here's how I look at it...my car my rules. If I want to listen to my music I am going to...however I also have a wide variety in taste and therefore have basically all the different genres in my playlist. I'll play my music but choose what to play based on the individual riders. I have phone chargers available, my car is kept clean, and I take good care of my car. I haven't even started yet and even I know not to be retarded and start a trip before the passenger gets in. All I will be asking of my passengers is that they not slam my doors on their way in or out of my car. Lastly I refuse to drive the hours in which people are partying, drinking,etc. I love my car, I take good care of it, I baby it, and I will not tolerate anyone causing any damage of any kind to my car.
Jazz gets the tips for me. It's not boring btw
I usually play instrumental music or 1950s music it's pretty neutral
Don’t make extra trips to gas stations etc that aren’t added to your queue. Passengers try to take advantage of you by asking to stop at gas stations or food restaurants don’t be afraid to tell them no. Unless they add the extra stop.
I always play music I like. I'm in the car all day long and most people don't leave a tip anyway.
I always ask my passenger what they would like to listen to with Sirius XM. If they say "I don't know." It is typically 80's on 8 or 90's on 9. Or if it is a 20 something I put on Kiss FM.

if the call is unavoidable then why ask?!
Basically just be polite, yet not overly polite (pushy). Make them feel comfortable without coming off as a creep. Clean car/smell good. Easily summed up without 10 tips. Should be (but often isn't) common sense.
don't wear your baseball cap backwards
Don't see an issue with this personally. If you're polite and courteous, it'll show far beyond a baseball cap.
@@busixb if you don't see an issue with it I'm guessing you only drive drunk young people around. You might not get deactivated or 1 star for a backwards hat but why risk losing a star or having an older passenger thing you're a hooligan lol.
As a driver remember the this two way rides like multiple stops are really hard, passengers aspect to return the same way they came from. And if Uber map gives the different way to return destination from passenger’s thought it would be then this is the time rude passengers start yelling at you so be careful remember at least last turn before in every stops because if you do not turn same way as came then they will think you are going to hijack them hahahaha this happened to me.
Good bro
Help! I've got the Top Reported Issues: Professionalism report from Uber, but I have no idea why. Except, that I haven't been talking as much, I ask the basics and play basic music that's not offensive. In addition my car is clean and I help with luggage. I have 3% 1 star trips, 8% 4 star, and 1% 3 star. I'm not sure what I did to get that report except maybe taking a bad route the the uber GPS made me take due to a concert and basketball game taking place. I don't know if this came from more than one person; hence, top reported, or if it was one complaint. I'm not sure what to do and I feel discouraged to keep driving.
Yurrah Al-Hadi Dont stress over it. EVERY driver has gotten a bad rating before. Its out of your control. As long as you have a good overallrating, youll be fine. Dont let a few bad reviews discourage you. You're out there trying to make a dollar, not to make friends haha
"im like pregaming and the driver plays Jazz - cmon" lol basic af
Please iam new driver I don't know how to drive 2 stops can you please make video to learn it.
Most rides are 3 miles. Uber pays 89 cents a mile. $2.67 + 10 minutes at 11 cents a minute. = $3.80 Total.
Remeber that it takes you 5 or 10 minutes to go get most customers that you get paid nothing for.
You will see the passenger pay anywhere from $6.00 to $10.00 for that ride.
Uber lies when they say they take 25% from a driver. It is more like 42% to 64% of the ride total!
They also trick drivers by telling them a customer is only 2 minutes away.
Many times that 2 minutes adds up to 10 minutes that you do not get paid for.
Then again, you pick up the customer for a short ride. Sometimes you work Uber for less than it costs for Gas!!!
WELCOME TO UBER IN 2018 - WHERE UBER BANKRUPTS 90% OF IT'S DRIVERS!
