Anytime a rider adds a stop or edits the destination after Ive accepted the ride and I dont see an increase in the fare, I cancel immediately to teach riders not to do that BS to us. If they're already in my car and ask to stop, I ask them to add a tip for me and I dont make them add the stop in the app. When Uber and Lyft charge the rider $1/min for a stop and the driver gets 100% I'll stop cancelling them.
When people that told you they are going to tip you for going the extra miles. Most likely those are the ones that don't tip.
True
Either that or the tip will be below average $1-2 when your expecting $5. Occasionally it works out but the trouble tends to be a waste of time and plays with my emotions. When I get burned I it puts me in a bad mood which can affect future trips & tips.
Never stop
Facts
They never tip!!
It wouldn't be as bad if Uber counted the additional stop as trip towards promotions.
True
If you already have accepted another ride and the current passenger adds a stop, it will bump your next ride off the cue. It's happened to me.
Right, because the next passenger's anticipated wait time has now changed. And you might be leaving their area with the stop if the final destination changes.
@@lleon-cv4ex Yes, the next passenger's anticipated wait time will be longer. I'm talking about when they add a stop to the ride in the middle, like a gas station and still keep the original final destination.
Me too. I’ve had more than one rider say they are trying to add the additional ride (I really believe their faking it hoping to get a free ride). If I have to decline 2 rides during this time and they haven’t sent the extra stop I say I do not know how else to explain to you how to add a stop. I’ve lost 2 rides if another one comes I am going to accept it.
Anyone who adds a stop during my ride automatically gets at least 3 stars, don't match with that person again. If I had a good ride get bumped, 1 star! And if Uber doesn't pay more for the stop, I explain to the passenger I'm not getting paid for the stop so I can end the ride at the stop or skip it. Uber even once dropped my pay when a passenger added a stop. Luckily I screenshot all of my offers before I accept it, and I screenshot the trip details to show it doesn't have any stop. That way. I have a leg to stand on when arguing with Uber's so-called "support".
Yes,me too 😐
Make sure they take their possessions with them, don't allow them to leave an anchor in your vehicle so you can cancel the ride easily
Leave it on the curb and cancel 😂
Haha - Nope I purposely leave my belongings in the car. Person had to drive back from where they were going. I told him he just wasted his gas and time trying to get over.
@@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart seems scummy asf.
@@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStartLie, you cannot contact your driver once the ride is cancelled fool.
@HORACE COMEGNA yes you can some one called me after they left their phone
I’ve noticed customers have become wise to drivers not liking multiple stop rides, so you will get a request, accept, then otw they will add the stops. I just cancel the ride immediately. Multiple stop rides are a waste of time.
How do you cancel multi stop rides in Uber when they're in the store like 10 to 20 minutes per stop? I look through all the screen options and don't see a way to cancel and leave them there.
@@92368you complete all the stop. 😂
That is why I don’t take multiple stops, either.
Facts I do the same thing l😂😂
@@92368 You can either just complete the trip (hit all the sliders until the ride is over) and Uber prorates everything, or you can go into the trip details (the one that shows your ride queue of pickups, drop offs, etc). I don't have it in front of me right now so I may be a little off, but you can click on the pickup point or the stop if you are at the stop and it should give you a list of cancellations. I have sometimes had issues with that so I will just go through the whole trip completion process. The rider won't be charged for the whole trip and you won't get paid for the whole trip.
My best tip for a stop:
I picked up a guy at one bar and he was going to another bar down the street. He asked me to side track to a gas station so he could buy a pack of cigarettes and offered me a tip. He bought me a Gatorade and also tipped me $20 cash!
You just got very lucky. This is not good advice because statistically a promise of a tip is worthless.
Drunk people love passing out 20s when they are in a good mood. I usually get 1 or 2 a week. I still ain't doing this for no one..
This only happened to me once. The others said they were going to tip but didn't.
rare!!!
wrong information they can add a stop even with the stop new request on....for years I've been doing this automatically every time I get a rider I turn on the stop new request...it will only prevent you from receiving a new request from another rider...to your current rider they can add another stop...
exactly, there is no way to stop it.
Just cancel the ride if they add stops without telling you. They could have added the ride before they get in your car and they get a driver who’s interested in accepting that ride. But this is forcing drivers to accept multiple stops because nobody wants to accept rides with multiple stops. Teach the riders by canceling the ride and tell them to get off your car. You accepted the ride only because you thought it’s shorter trip.
@@coreykelly2523 Great ADVICE!!!
Ah. I noticed this weekend that my riders couldn't add stops. Always stop new requests. LOL
Until all of us drivers find a way to convene and agree to pool all our earnings together to MAKE OUR OWN APP, it will always be us that gets the short end of the stick. We are the ones doing all the ground work for these ride share and food delivery companies. We are the ones who should have all control on how the app is operated and how profits are dispersed. SMARTEN UP EVERYBODY!
Great helpful info. Too many times, a passenger has added stops without even asking first.
I give an immediate one star if they don't end up leaving the car. If they get out the car at the stop, I would leave and end the ride if the stop is unreasonable.
They do that because it’s cheaper then.
Least they could do is ask
If a rider changes the ride, I tell them I'm canceling
so so wrong and rude but uber and lyft allow it. who is going to educate riders how much this hurts our pay by the hour???
Always ask their expected time, and never hesitate to leave if they are longer than 5 min.
2 min
@Marisela48 Yep, either a bag or another person.
They will give you a 1
If I'm doing a 2 stops ride, i always make sure they dont leave anything in my car and always let them know there is only 3 min waiting time and before end the ride i send a text like "your waiting time has expired, thanks for using uber, have a great day " 😁 lol 😂 😂 😂
On my first day driving, I waited 7 minutes for the rider just to show. No communication from him. So I canceled the ride and moved on. I have a single one-star review, and I bet it was from him.
I had an experience with multiple stop long distance trip.
I accepted it because upfront fare was big one.
1 st stop was very close by so I stop there then the rider says on a way out "you know there is another stop , right ? " I said yes then waited for a while . The rider doesn't come out from 1 st stop so I send out a text. I see the rider saw my text then ... Ping ! Cancel ❌. 🤯
All I got was very short trip fare . I was baffled.
It was an scam to get a faster service , to be accepted by drivers for short trip requests .
From that night , I would never accept multiple stop trips never again.
Thats a nice trick.
People often offer "I'll tip you in the app", for these inconveniences. They are almost always lying when they say this.
Picked up a passenger who added a stop at Taco Bell right as I was close to her destination. I drove her to the Taco Bell, had her take her Walmart bags into the restaurant with her and then promptly ended the ride.
She hadn't been the best passenger up to that point, so it wasn't a difficult decision.
I used to stop in the beginning but got tired of being taken advantage of. Many of them refuse to add the stop or compensate. A third of them offer to buy a drink and get what you asked. 60% of them take longer than 2 minutes to get back in the car.
Every time a rider asks for a stop and says "I'll take care of you in the app", they do NOT take care of me in the app. It makes me want to say no to every request for being a nice guy.
If they add a stop it's a violation of the original agreement and I don't have to take them.
Really? I saw how adding the stop after the ride started only paid me 96 cents regardless of how long the ride was. I contacted Uber, explained it wasn’t the 2 minute stop near their home Uber intended it for and found they increased earnings the next time. I was driving toward my home last night and took a ride north to find the rider already added a stop south. I voiced I was heading north after I accepted the ride. Good to know I can cancel the ride for added stops afterwards.
@Ted Hare you never have to continue any ride you do not want too. If the agreement of pay and distance is done upfront then a adjustment after that is a change you did not agree too hence the refusal and or cancelation.
You cancel the ride while they are inside the store and they will give you a bad rating. I did that for a lady who asked to go to a medical store. I was late for an appointment. So I had to cancel her she gave me a 1. Took a year and a half to get rid of that 1
@Money Malzy I don't worry about my rating. I'm a 4.97. I am out here to make money do my best to be respectful but this is a business not a charity
@@patrickstagner724 i have a 4.97 as well and at the end of a day a 2 1's could bring me down to a 4.95. So no thanks on that. I live in north dakota they are pretty uppity here. They will give you a 1 for that. And i definitely worry about my rating. When i first started i had alike an 4.89 and couldn't figure for the life of me why people were giving me low ratings. I have to work hard to keep my rating must be nice you dont
Sometimes I will make that quick stop to a gas station but if they ask I tell them Uber won’t let me unless it’s done in the app. I have found in my market that I when I except a ride and I’m heading to the passenger Uber will notify me they added a stop so then I usually cancel that ride. I’m not a big fan of multi stops! Thanks for that tip on stoping new requests. I’ll be sure to do that!
Some riders new strategy is ordering a short trip then once they get in your car they add a stop
I’m not either and when I found I was paid less for them then.
Except two stops add more money, sometimes it’s just two people going home from a party or an event.
PLEASE NOTE: STOPPING THE APP TO NOT GET A NEW REQUEST WILL NOT STOP RIDERS FROM ADDING ADDITIONAL STOPS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW SO THIS IS NOT WORKING!!! YOU GUYS NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE TO UBER TO STOP SCAMMING DRIVERS AND FORCING DRIVERS TO GIVE ALMOST FREE RIDES TO RIDERS WHILE UBER BENEFITS FROM THIS ADDITIONAL STOPS.
What should you do if a multiple stop rider takes more than 7 minutes? Why doesn't Uber give me the option to cancel based on time/no show, similar to a pickup?
For me it depends. If its a round trip type of stop and I'm picking that person up in an impoverished neighborhood, it's a no for me because they're trying to save money at your expense and 99% of the time they won't tip. Usually they're going to the liquor store, a fast food spot, doing a drug deal transaction or just overall about to waste your time etc. If its a tourist that's headed downtown or the airport, but needs to stop at a gas station first thats cool with me.
I’m the uk Uber has now added a feature On every stop they give the customer 3 mins free then it is 27p every min to the driver. = £15.39 a hour ($18.56)
I’ve had the same experience few times passengers adding stops but I’m going to cancel the ride if they add stops from now on and tell them get get of my car and get another ride. Rides are doing this on purpose. I have completed the rides even after the stops are added but not anymore. I’ll just cancel the ride. Some of the riders don’t even ask you they just add the stops.
Be careful:
Uber will turn your app on even though you shut it off. Happen to me several times before.
Wow
It's happened to me three times last week in Dallas Texas.
So here's a scenorio:
You have a pax get in the car with all their stuff. They request to make a stop. Ok cool, I make that stop and be a helpful driver. They get out but leave all of their stuff in the car. They're inside for 20-60 minutes and you want to leave. Do you throw their stuff out and drive away?
How would you handle that situation? You seem like a really good dude and a good driver and I genuinely want to know what you would do in that situation.
With Up front pricing we accept the ride stated for the money stated, not any additional stops. If I'm on an up front fee ride and they start talking about adding another stop I say no. They can go there but thats where the ride ends. I explain why but No stops after ride is accepted period. Let them complain to Uber about their pay polices.
New driver here. I just "discovered"the stop new requests feature. It has been helping me build my stats for the next level. Before this, I did have one rider that wanted to stop at all of these places along the way. They were well within the driving distance of the destination so I didn't mind. But the last one took her an hour at a pharmacy. Then on the return trip to her home, she wanted one more stop, again right along our path. Less than 2 miles from her house she canceled the ride while I waited for her. I did get a decent fare, but no tip.
That is awful
If a rider is in a store for longer than a few minutes. Just complete the ride and drive away. I have had to do that multiple times.
Most riders don't honor the 3 to 5 minute rule, so I stopped accepting multiple stop rides. Also, some of these passengers try and leave something in the car as an anchor so you won't leave. Another thing if I'm on the way to a customer and I see trip updated with a stop added I will cancel.
I thought I was the only one that did this! You'll get close and you'll get the added stop notification lol. These folks think they're slick.
@@deestonheard3522 yes some of these customers try to be slick. I even had a customer 2 weeks ago add a stop without saying anything until I said something after noticing it popped up on the app. I quickly told her did she know she only had 3 minutes? I never tell them up to 5 minutes because they'll feel they can take their time. She said no but she was out in 5 minutes, because if she wasn't I was definitely pulling off. Lol
I know with Lyft, it says u don't have to wait. But I give them 5 mins or so..I think only in one situation that i left.
But are u sure with Uber if you stop accepting requests while on a trip, the rider won't be able to add a stop??
Very nice video very informative and the way you explain it was nice and clear thanks
Stopping the requests after pickup doesn't work anymore, in Chicago anyway
Thanks for your suggestions.
There's some really good points that you made in this video and I understand them all. Last night for example the couple wanted for me to take them to the liquor store before taking them home to get some liquor. At first I was like well you need to put it in the app the Stop and they were like they did not know how to do that so it was just playing it by ear the guy told me he was going to give me a tip and he actually did a $20 tip. But that's the chances you take is hearing someone out and taking the chance to see if they keep to their word.
By the way: tested in the field and going offline will not prevent a rider from adding stops during a ride. Which is silly, because if you are tired and want to go home, you are now stuck driving some Karen all over town.
If someone changes a trip to add a lot of distance or to change the direction of the trip, then the trip is significantly different than what I signed up for. When w rider drastically changes the trip, it can also mess up my filters such as a destination filter or area filter. I explain to the passenger I'm not able to accommodate the changes because it will cause me to be late for an appointment or take me away from where I need to go and if they do need to change the routing of their trip, I can drop them off somewhere and they can get a different driver.
I have always allowed my passengers to go to the store. They have always been polite and very nice and give me great tips from it.
I picked up a Man going to the airport and wanted a coffee and snacks. It was at 5am so we both were barely getting moving. We had a great conversation and he turned around and tipped me $120 cash. And when I've picked up other's I usually get a $5 - $15 tip. Remember be Polite and Courteous and Friendly and you'll get tipped more.
You sound like you're in Germany. I never get tips for going over the top here in northeast US. Those trips when I go the extra mile I will specifically get a $0 tip.
It's easy for me, if someone wants to add a stop and can't figure it out on the app, I ask them to leave the extra expense as a tip. I've never had a problem with anyone taking advantage of it and it's really no problem. Maybe people in Idaho are friendlier and more honest about it.
"People in Idaho" explains it all. I live in So Cal and it's a whole different mind set.
I have a few rules listed and hanging on the seats. one is to not ask me to stop on the way to their destination they will have to add it on the app. One thing if you have added stops make sure the rider takes all his crap with them they try this as an anchor to keep you there. I once had to chase down a rider in the store that was taking too long and hand him his backpack.
You are a life saver 💯
This is one of my biggest problems with Uber this changing destinations... Some old passengers take advantage of that 1 time I gotta write which was 30 miles towards my direction and then as soon as I picked a passenger up which was a young girl suddenly she said oh sorry I'm going exactly the opposite direction and I had to take her back and cancel it and I didn't get paid for that I'm pretty much sure she was cheating the system because the other direction was in middle of nowhere nobody would have taken her
I love trips to the middle of nowhere sometimes. That's half the enjoyment of the job.
I had a rider say when we arrived at the drop off is there an added stop in the ride. I said no. He said should I stop here? I said you can add the stop. He acted like he didn’t know how to do it to find 2 minutes later he wanted to drive 25 minutes north into a very rural area and it was 3:30am. I said I can’t go there then I was going south. He said it’s ok I can get a ride. He walked out of the store with a buddy he bumped into there. He got into his car after ending the ride there and requested a ride from his place. I found the next ride I accepted was his and canceled it as accepting by mistake.
Thank You!
On Lyft I set a firm 5 min limit for regular, 10 min for Lux, and black will depend but more than 10 since black pays good per minute. I’ve even had riders at the additional stop and give me cash tip and it worked out. On UberX it’s a firm five minute limit for me and I’ll do it about 10 with Comfort and Select, which not many people use. I probably will do up to an hour.
Thank you 😊
Good vid. Ty
This information is incorrect
Read information, but how do you turn off the ride? Is it just a cup coffee cup?
Great suggestion
So if you stop request when the passenger first gets in , does that also works for lyft also to stop the multiple trips 🤔
I drive for lyft an after accept a ride it tells u this person has a stop. Is there a way to stop them from adding a stop before accepting the ride
Are you 100% certain this works presently? Because this did not work for me a few weeks ago. Rider still added a stop even though I was offline
This happened to me.
I will try it out tho to verify this. People please stop accepting every ride no one should have a acceptance rate higher than 50% imo mine is 25% rt now
Mine is 9% lol
Definitely doing this everytime now these people are crazy in nyc
I have never foumd multistops to be beneficial in anyway. The problem for me with stopping new request is that the app puts a huge delay in getting the next customer. Instaed of recognising me as being available.even if there is high demand it will make me wait 15min for the next ride.
Hey man let me give you an easy tip. stop request at the beginning and then to 2minutes before dropping them Turn off the last stop
@@Mike-tr6bz yea. As we all know uber does different features in different markets. My app used to work that way. But now (most likely because I always stopped request, they changed it) when I stop request after a certain point whether its 5min or 15minutes before a ride ends on a long trip, it will still throttle me for 15 or 20min before it sends me another ride EVEN at peak high surge times. [Think friday evening rush hour or bar closing after midnight] If I stop request it will make me sit for 15min at the end of the last ride, even if i turned request back on 10-12min before the ride ended. If it hasnt happened in your market yet some of you are going to be in for a rude surprise.
I used to stop in a lot of drive-thru situations after bars close. Most of the time the passengers would say, "order whatever you want," and usually tip me extra on top of that. Once the libations loosen them up, there's an opportunity for goodwill on their behalf. Not a fool-proof system, but one just has to feel it out. Perhaps if the drive-thru is logjammed, this may not be a good idea, but if you can get in and out quickly and back on the road, por que no¿
Great video...
I had a guy ask me to stop at the gas station so he can get gum. Because the gas station was in the opposite direction, I noticed Uber increased the person's fare and my payout because of that. Oh, and the gut tipped me very well for making that stop also.
Can it stop them from changing the drop off location also. These riders are manipulating their price by changing locations that's further away
I thought turning the (ride request off) would disable the passenger from adding stops. But nope. They still can, so you just have to cancel the trip
Do you cancel while passenger is in vehicle, and do you just leave them on side of road soon as you cancel? Do you still get paid after you cancel? Trying to learn how Uber works.
I literally did this today and they couldn't figure out why they couldn't add a stop. Great advice!
Why it’s not working on my side?
@@MuhammadAli-bp6iq You can only stop the additional request after you accept the ride. Push the stop requests after ride and they won't be able to add stops en-route. If they add stops before you accept the ride you can't stop those other than not accepting the ride.
@@pmbbike thanks. I’ll use this every time now.
How does one spot a multiple stop ride prior to accepting? I can only see that when it’s on trip radar.
My question is, I am driving Lyft and Uber all the same time search is there but when you follow the search search is not reachable is going. Do you know if they basically they make us stupid or some thing you know how I can wired contraption and having a peaceful ride and some time know right now there is decimation when we on to go home or any decision we put it there not working we going north request and they put us south so there’s lotta problem and Uber and Lyft right now Lyft is still little better than Uber but basically they do same thing so please help me out so their destination problem. Also, they have a search problem what I should do.?
Got any tips to avoid rides to high schools where it's always a wait to get to the drop off point?
First, I too will stop at a convenience store if it is along the route because it is usually akin to sitting a red light or two but I no longer accept rides that right away indicate "multiple stops" because had some bad experiences and I have not been able to figure out with Uber how to cancel at a stop without getting penalized and not paid whereas Lyft makes it easy with a visible countdown and cancel eligibility yet I have failed to see anything like that with the Uber app. Second, I have been doing this for four years now and did not know that "stop requests" prevented added stops but do implement "stop requests" sometimes and have had riders mention that the app will not let them make adjustments so I suppose I should have been able to make the connection, "duh" "face slap"....lol. Glad I clicked this video and will definitely utilize the "stop requests" even more often now.
Does anyone know if this works for Lyft as well?
This is sometimes a inconvenience when they add multiple stop once they get in the uber why not include them when booking the ride so it gives the driver a heads up if they want to take that ride also I don't want cut my app off in the middle of ride to keep the customer from doing that because I will miss out on other good rides that's coming thru its all a inconvenience and they only pay 10 cents a min really not alot and I don't like for the riders to ask me to stop at places along the route I feel like you cheating me why not add that stop when booking your trip but I not going lie I do depending on the day and person and it's does give a rewarding tip but only sometimes sheesh its a win, loose situation
How do you cancel multi stop rides in Uber when they're in the store like 10 to 20 minutes per stop? I look through all the screen options and don't see a way to cancel and leave them there. They go in the smoke shop for 15 min, the Walgreens for 20 min, after 5 min I want to leave and cancel, very frustrating.
This was a life saver!
I drove a woman 35 mins to a store where she picked up a couple heavy boxes and then an additional 27 mins to her home. Absolutely not worth it and completely takes away from the convenience aspect of being a driver.
I can't wait to test this out. I thought I always turn off requests? Maybe I left it on?
I get these changes at least once a night. It only costs me time. They never tip extra. Occasionally they buy me a water.
I'm not sure if stopping a new request will prevent customers adding a stop, I go offline at least 90% of the times once customers are in the car so i don't get pinned with new request during the trip, and sometimes I get a stop added somehow, probably during that 10% of the times i leave it on. but it is true some customers asked me how to add a stop as the app is not showing the option to add a stop. I ask them to show me the phone and cant fin the option to modify the trip, but never seen the driver is not taking new request message he is talking abouts. not sure if is because I'm offline but definitely I'll check it out.
Watch out for those that try to leave stuff in your car to keep you from leaving….😊
It happened to me in Santa Monica I drop off a girl at a target and I left and she left her purse in the car so I went to the 2nd passengers we should wasn't far so I told them can I just take the purse back so I took the purse back and you should have seen the look at her face she looked like she was ready to cry but just dropped the person too cough and I told her don't leave your stuff in the car next time she's lucky I took it back I could have just threw it on the street
@@Mike-tr6bz You did the right thing, I hope to do the same if in that situation. Thanks!
@Marisela48 Boom! lol
I hate multiple stops. It's even worse, when they add a stop while in the car. And, I've learned that people who say they're going to tip don't tip. They're trying to get a free ride. That's why they don't enter a 2nd trip, when they make their initial ride request.
Too many people wait until I'm about a minute away from their destination, then ask about stopping at a store/gas station. I'm not their personal driver. And, I don't care about them offering to buy me a drink or whatever. I can buy my own drink, if I want one.
Stopping the new requests does not stop adding stops. Once you accept the ride they can add up to 5 stops
i tell people we dont get paid to stop and wait.
in vegas, we get kickbacks for certain drop offs, so if its going to one of those places ill sit and wait since i have to stop and get paid anyways. those particular stops actually DO tip. but otherwise i refuse added stops, if they dont take it off i just cancel them when i get to the first place.
i personally dont mind the ones that say hey i need a pack of smokes, can we stop in the 711, if its not busy ill stop 99% of them do tip and are quick, half of them hand cash to wait as they ask.
otherwise when i see addded stops, thats a huge NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Adding a stop that is not on the app is a new sign of a bad rider. Recently had rider actually cancel the long distance trip as they were almost home and wanted me to take home anyway. They were just a bad customer.
How do you stop (add ride to the cue) on the app
They add stops because they know if they add stops after you accept a ride they do not have to pay anything extra and you don't make anything at all for it. I cancel the ride when they add a stop before I pick them up. Bad enough to get paid 30 to 40 cents a mile now. To make even less for multiple stops is a joke.
30 to 40 cents a mile is basically driving for free. Why are people doing rideshare there?
What about getting a trip request that shows only 1 stop then when you start the trip it pops up with multiple stops like 4 to 5 stops that you did not accept.
Depending on the car I'm in I turn off the next ride in my regular UberX . If I'm in my XL or Tesla I normally just turn off UberX so I catch any Premire or Electic Comfort rides . So this is helpful knowing about turning it off so this doesn't happen but at the same time I have had people say they where trying to add a stop but could so I may just keep doing as I am . When some ask I always let them know how Uber will charge them more and I only get maybe .35 cents while they may get charged a extra 7.00 so if you need a quick stop I will just do it and ask for a small tip that way it's a win win plus I don't lose that next ride which is paying more . Sharing tips and tricks with my rider has always scored me better tips. I always think like a rider and if I need a quick stop since that's how I became a driver in the first place . Karma and take your stuff with you please !
I have started doing this more i hate when they add another stop and they try to be sneaky about it like I don't know
After I accepted a single pickup, just before I get get to the pickup the rider will add more stops. Yesterday I had a pickup that was a single stop that the rider then added 3 additional stops to. It took me well over an hour and a bunch more miles. It seems like it is happening more and more and if I cancel the ride it is held against me. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
you cancel the ride upon arrival, or just cancel it. its not held against you, just mark it as unsafe.
@@rsalehi6568 this not work they can add more stops away.....the information on the video is wrong!!!
this is happening more and more the rides know we dont like stops and they are added after we accept but before we arrive.....we arrive start the ride and surprise going to ur first stop....
Yep, I've seen that too. I had one this morning. About half a mile before pickup, the destination changed, and the price went down. Canceled him, and moved on.
Is there a way to block certain people on the app?
Stopping new requests can stop you from getting a surge charge area.
I got few time when they add stop few time i accept the offer and driving half way there then they add a stop and uber have to give yiu more money or just decline that and move on.
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work at least in Florida. I just leave after 5 min unless a passenger stays behind to keep me which then it gets sticky and my rating takes a hit😢
Where’s the feature you said?
Added stops should be added on the original ride THAT WE ORIGINALLY ACCEPTED only. I've had Lyft ride streaks BROKEN because they added a stop for a second rider 30 minutes away. These riders need to have their trips figured out beforehand! Also, if a rider adds a stop on the app without even discussing it, I'm giving them a 1 star. It's just rude and inconsiderate.
May I ask is it really worth giving rides? I mean you have variables amount of people some good some bad.
Great question. Keep in mind there are lots of factors to determine if driving is worth it. Check out this video on our channel.

OK how are we agreeing to the price when on my app it doesn’t tell me how much the price is going to be how much I’m gonna be getting paid. It only tells me the amount of time the trip is.
We used to be able to cancel a ride in middle of it or a stop, now there is no button to cancel once the ride is started.
Canceled today. Why can’t you?
You don't have to cancel, just end ride.
The rider should always ask you first before making changes to a ride. You then get to choose if you want to do the stop.
So far I’ve stopped 3 times for people at a convenience store and I got $15 cash from one of them and $10 cash from each of the other two so I’ve gotten lucky so far.
How do you cancel a ride when the passenger takes too long on the stop? I have been caught a few times waiting more than 5 minutes, I didn’t cancel the call because I did not know how to.
This doesn't work any more... 😢 I've got long distance trip so I put log off . But rider changed it's stop by destination to very close by like $6 trip. Then when I reached to it's 1st stop. Then they cancelled it's trip.
Made the mistake of stopping at MD’s for a customer who claimed they couldn’t figure out how to add the stop. Sat in the drive thru 15 minutes and the rider never offered to get me anything- not that I wanted anything. And of course - no tip😂
Upfront pricing you argued to for that location. If passenger adds stops the and Uber violated the terms of that contract so cancel is your right
I tellem up front i don't stop at various fast food restaurants only if there's not a long line especially during primetime. They'll claim to tip me well on app and don't. I also tellem uber only pays 8 cents a minute thats $4.80 an hour i ask them if they work for that an hour. With up front pricing we probably don't even get that ridiculous.
This trick after the update doesn't seem to work, I had five rides in a row add stops after ri accepted them on the way to pick them up.....I canceled immediately lol I live in a small market and I was the only driver that day, no one got a ride that day 🤷♂️
I meant the icon during the ride coffee cup
I never want multiple stop rides ever and how can I eliminate them?
I realize these days as soon as you notice any discrepancy you have to call in and make them investigate. What I do is the last minute of the stop I just x out of the stop request box.
