I love uber. As a driver partner for 5 months with over 1300 rides given I've had a great experience. I've made a ton of money since going full time that I'm enjoying surplus income above my expenses for the first time in my life. The incentives are amazing. I've earned guarantee rates as high as $55/hr!

Drivers who complain about no benefits and the costs simply don't understand the difference between a contractor and an employee. Drivers who do not give rides in busy areas certainly make less than those who do. That's a choice. They offer total freedom and crazy good pay for anyone willing to drive the incentive offers.

Where uber is lacking is in support and orientation... Like why did I have to learn from a passenger the other night that when riders specify 2 people for pool when they are truly solo, just looking to book a seat to keep empty, that I can change it in the app before I start the ride? I also find driver support a bit weak. If your issue isn't listed in the app it's tough to get the answer needed. This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Don't listen to all of the victims commenting and giving one star. Half of the comments are bogus... A driver with low ratings blaming uber, when the riders rate the drivers. That driver just sucked and people didn't like him... Someone saying there's no way to cancel a ride, etc... YES there is. Stop blaming uber for your inability to operate the app or give good service people! Sheesh. You guys keep crying. I'm gonna keep earning $1500-$2000/week and enjoy how awesome my life is with extra money in it!
