BEHAVE YOURSELVES! This is my car, not yours. You are paying for a ride, not for something or someone to be abused. I am hoping I don’t have to enforce this.
Yes, it’s been hard to get an Uber or Lyft lately, particularly in outlying areas. The companies are gouging you, the passengers, but only a small portion, if any, of these fare increases are passed on to drivers.
Any rating less than five stars is a statement that the driver should be fired, but says nothing about these unprofitable companies’ failures to attract, retain, or adequately compensate competent drivers.
Absolutely NO EATING in the car. And take your trash with you. Other people will be riding after you; keep it clean.
I am NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PROPERTY. Multiple calls at odd hours will not improve the probability that I’ll find it. Because Uber support is useless, I may turn recognized valuables in at a local police station.
By default, I use Google Maps, which is supposed to offer the fastest route for navigation TO A SPECIFIC DESTINATION. If you want to deviate from that route, be prepared to provide turn by turn directions.
Gig work is already marginal. That you may be running late does not make it safe to violate traffic laws, nor does it mean that I will be able to recover any fines or other increased costs from you.
My driving style is an attempt at compromise between traffic law and what other drivers will tolerate. Their road rage is one of many hazards I navigate.
