If you're a frequent cab service user, you know that there are some special Uber drivers on the road that go above and beyond to earn that precious five-star rating from you - or the opposite. They might have stocked their ride full of free goodies, brought their adorable dog along in the backseat, told you a painfully funny story, or given you outstandingly friendly customer service even when you were out-of-your-mind drunk. On the flipside, maybe they got terribly lost trying to find you, crashed their car and kicked you out in the pouring rain, or just creeped you the F out. Driving for Uber isn't for everyone, after all. Love it or hate it, Uber has certainly brought many cherished memories, hilarious stories, and the possibility to meet many funny people, and we're honoring that by rounding up the best ones we could find on the Internet. Scroll down to find out how those best driver ratings are earned and lost on the road, and tell us the best or worst Uber experience you've had in the comments.

How To Receive 5 Stars As An Uber Driver
frederic eeckman 7 years ago
You know, somehow it makes me feel sad :/ I'm just happy with a nice driver, polite... funny is a plus, but I certainly don't need them to turn into a mobile-grocery store just tu fulfill my desires and get 5 stars. I don't give a c**p about sweets and sour patch, I just want someone nice, period.

What do you think ?

As cute and creative as these are, I am not sure what to think of them. These decorations are done so that the Uber drivers don't loose their job. The rating system is ultra capitalist and super competitive. Giving a driver a 4 star rating (out of 5) means that they could loose their job. Glad we don't have ueber here.

Seems to me they spend all their hard earned money on those "accessories". I feel for them

As an uber driver we do what we can to make the rider feel special we offer water ,tissue, candy etc the rating is awful for a driver we are not in competition on our ratings we are in fear of making a rider mad that they give us lower than a 5 because the more riders that give us less than a five our rate goes down and we loose our jobs. So we think of creative ways to make the rider happy as this is not always easy to do. I say if you got to point a-b safe and your driver was nice give them that 5 .

Ok, I never used Uber: What the point of the 5 stars? Do they win more money? Do they turn themselves into grocery stores for the tip? Do they just like to "unlock the achievement" of the 5 stars? Do they win the right to have a legendary armor or a cute mount?

Ueber ratings are ultra competetive. If a drivers rating is below 4,7 stars, passengers might cancel their drive on a whim without refund. If a drivers rating falls below 4,6, they might get a probiation. If it falls consistenly below the average regional stars, drivers might loose their job.
