I'm on 4.77... I guess if you load/unload lots of stuff, aren't ready to go on time, etc then they might mark you down. I imagine a tip will get you 5*.


On the subject of tipping - I do usually leave a tip (as long as it's not a "surge" fare), as the drivers really don't earn much. I know Uber is a bit controversial for a whole load of reasons, but it's just so damn convenient! And actually a real life-saver over the past year with the constant rail strikes. Leaving a couple of quid extra eases my conscience a bit.

It's like eBay - the more feedback you get, the less likely it is to be 100% - because there are always some people who will complain.


So there's always going to be a few drivers who will rate you less than 5*


To get a rate of 4.6 could mean 60% 5* and 40% 4*. There are many permutations, try here: https://www.ait-pro.com/aitpro-blog/tools/star-rating-calculator.php

I do tip. I guess that's why.

Clocking high there bruv. Big score. I don't tip as most drivers don't expect it. Exceptions are where they go out the way / beyond the call.

Mines 4.71. Do you think they charge more based on ratings? I've just thought about this. I changed my name months ago on it so I couldn't be tracked via Facebook and other social media.

4.6 - ouch. Though I do recall a few episodes a month or two back where drivers had the habit of, from elephant and castle, driving me down OKR to get me to Goose Green - a practice which I allowed once and then objected to thereafter. Or I could be a complete witch.

I never tip - I hadn't even considered it in an Uber until this thread, which is odd given that I invariably tip in black and mini cabs. I can't say I always have a chat with the guys, but I don't remember being impolite.


Maybe the drivers are more forthright in their feedback, the fact that these days you're asked "what went wrong?" if you give less than 5 to the driver makes me think that the ratings on the two sides are asymmetrical.


Yes, it is all a bit Black Mirror.

    • Hi fellow forum-ers,  I am in need of getting out of a (mutually) toxic relationship with my husband, but cannot afford to buy or rent anything half decent in the area. I would like for the children not having to change schools and friendship group, their training club etc to maintain some level of stability through the storm. I am looking for a house share with someone in the same position as me who is willing to share rent/bills/chores and... life! Or, maybe, a not so young person who needs help with cleaning, washing, shopping and cooking and has a couple of bedrooms to spare and can do with some extra cash. My children are 17, 14 and 10 well behaved and used to be respectful around people's houses (we're seasoned home exchangers). The eldest is in a fishing school (don't ask) outside London and only comes home for the weekend. The other 2 are into sports, so often training or in competitions during the week/weekend.  If you are interested or know someone who is, please DM me. I know it's a long shot, but I hope somewhere out there someone is able to help us. Also, if you're being through this and can offer advice, that is also welcomed. In case you're wondering, my husband is disabled and won't leave the house (and it seems unfair that we ask him to). 
    • Hi, My automatic nissan juke, much to my shock, having only done 50,000 miles needs a new gear box. Trying to decide to replace gear box or buy a second hand car - always thought Japanese cars were reliable and guess I have just been unlucky. Any advice greatly received - to buy a second hand car or replace gear box. If buying second hand would one suggest dealership or private garage ?? Thank you.
