Terrible company
Shocking company, each time they update the app it negatively impacts drivers pay. They take a massive amount of money from every driver every week to supposedly improve the app, but just the other week, after an app update the navigation never worked. It seems they only do updates to improve their take rate and it never seems to work in the drivers favour ever. Being offered jobs sometimes 10+ miles away as an exclusive to the drivers, while trips that you could literally be 50 yards away from are being offered on trip radar and then when you try and get that job it gives it to someone else further away. And then you have the priority jobs that customers mistakenly believe is going to get them a car quicker, but I’ve been offered priority jobs when I’ve been 3+ miles away. Customers are being forced to book priority bcos Uber are offering low ball prices to drivers knowing they won’t accept them and then sending a message to the customer asking them if they want to book priority to get a car quicker. Simple solution Uber, offer drivers a fair price and there would be no need for customers to book a priority, but this is all part of Ubers master plan to squeeze more money from customers. Very shady practices from Uber.

very bad
I always thought Uber Eats and Just Eat were completely useless… Turns out the only thing worth keeping is their delivery bags. 🍅😂
, their bags are helping me grow tomatoes. The tomatoes are doing a much better job than the apps ever did. 🍅😂

Honest 4 stars
It’s not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, uber was never meant to be a full time job, just a job for people working around kids, top up your full time salary in your spare time. You can average around £20-25 per hour if you’re in the right town/city. With uber pro card you get paid out instantly, what you earn is what you keep so no need to pay the operator at the end of the week. Few downsides if you’re not in a big city, the promotion functions and pre booking functions don’t work at all, I’ve never seen an airport run not once, never seen an event in my town despite having football grounds, rugby grounds and theatres.. don’t receive any pre bookings as they’re given to the next city over due to licensing restrictions.
There’s a lot they could and should fix, but all in for me, I’m happy enough with what I make, I aim for about £300 profit per week and for that I need about £500 after taking off fuel/insurance/car payments/maintenance.
Don’t do it as a full time career, you won’t enjoy it you’ll have to work way too many hours, but doing it as what it was designed for, it’s so flexible. I work round my kids going to and from school and round my wife needing care due to disability and it’s perfect for us.
There’s an app for iOS called driver pal, get it downloaded so you can see the good jobs from the bad, gives you instant notification to take the job or to ignore it, if more people did that, we’d all see less £14/hr and £0.58/mile.
Also be careful of your drop off location, a good portion is geofenced, I live right outside a big city, however if I drop off in the city, the app doesn’t work already, tells me I’m outside of my working area only 8 miles from my home, however in the opposite direction I can go around 80-90 miles to other towns and cities and still get jobs in the direction I’m heading home, so learn the boundaries and don’t accept jobs going to places uber decides you can’t work or sign up to other operators in those areas to keep you moving.

Slavery
They lure you in with flexibility but you end up doing more hours than a standard 9-5 for less than minimum wage.
