Hello I've been having a issue with my reservation. Every time I get a reservation in a particular county my reservations are canceled one hour before the pickup time. I only get a message that says " reservation was canceled because your current vehicle status does not match the requirements of this trip". Can l get some help with this please
Remember. If a rider calls you through the app and they get your voicemail, your default voicemail prompt may read out your actual phone number to the caller. At that point they have your personal number and can call you or do a reverse phone number lookup online and get your physical address, etc.
I always check the back seat area myself as passengers are exiting my vehicle. When in poor lighting, whether in a garage, at night etc, I turn on all interior lights and check the back seat area as they're leaving. Turning on the lights also helps passengers as they are checking to make sure they have everything too.
Safety Should Always be the Number One Priority for Uber and for a Passenger to show up at your place is something that should not happen. Uber needs to take responsibility and deactivate that passenger permanently for showing up to the driver home.
James is spot on with cancelling a ride at the first sign of negativity - Now, I always follow my gut and cancel at anything that gives any negative vibe. I learned the hard way and many 1 star ratings and after about 2.5 years of driving (7 years 27,000 rides on both apps here in Vegas). Here’s what happened to me: with a similar issue. Back in 2021 I had no idea a pax left their phone in my car. I also drive overnight. Around noon, I was startled out of bed to loud banging on my door at my apt complex. I answered and they informed as to why they were there. I said, “I don’t have your phone. Sorry” They pushed the issue by saying they did “find my phone” and it lead them to my apt complex and my car. I said, “well you guys were my last ride. Maybe it’s in a crevice between the car door and seats or it fell under one of the seats.” Sure enough, it was under the pax front seat. Unlike James, my neighbors were familiar with me (I lived in the same unit for 5 years and I had driven many of them during the shutdown when they couldn’t get a ride on the apps.) So I’m sure the pax asked a neighbor “where does the driver of this car live. He has my phone.” It was a bit unnerving. And no, I don’t check under the seats and in door crevices for phones or other items left after each ride. That’s unrealistic! Stopping after every ride, getting out of the car and thoroughly checking the back area for left items is also not realistic (as infrequent as these situations occur). This suggestion sounds great in a perfect world / slow market, but not doable in a high volume market like Vegas or LA, SFO, NYC, etc) Sorry to contradict your suggestion. I do do a cursory glance towards my back seat to look for an errant item and/or a possible mess, but that’s it. I pay for a burner number on TextNow. It costs $2.99. I give this number to the pax in situations like this (or if I’m asked to contact a rider with special requests like a Dr. appt pick up at the office. Nowadays tho, the apps seem to connect to the rider instead of the Dr.’s office’s front desk. And burner numbers can be free too. They just require using it 1x per month. I just text my real number. And using TextNow, I use my same fon. No need for another fon.
Same with Dallas!! It’s fricken ridiculous with the quest. I haven’t driven new years for the last couple of years because it’s no different than a Friday or Saturday night
More 21st century fun. Sounds like us drivers need to invest in a Faraday bag these days. If you find a phone in your back seat put it in the bag. They wont be able to track it or you.
What a story! I learned a lesson! If it’s a sketchy situation I will drop off the phone at the nearest police station!Unacceptable Uber’s response! The driver’s security was breached and they wouldn’t block the passenger from being paired with the driver? Thank you Sergio for looking out for us! 😊🙏🚙
What I have done with lost phones is take them to the nearest Police department substation and they usually have a lost and found. I usually forfeit the return fee this way. But they won't be tracking me to my house. If I get a phone call through the app from the passenger I will tell them the address and of the substation.
Carry some aluminium foil in your glove compartment and when the phone is left wrap it immediately in aluminium foil this will keep it from being tracked. I did this once to prevent this type of situation from happening.
On 10/17/2024 i got assaulted and shot for trying to return a pair of tech devices! :[ I hate to say this but next time a passenger leaves crap in my car everything is going out the window ! sorry pax i cannot risk my life again. Hopefully i get justice against these thugs ... i've never hurt anyone in my life.
@@sergioSMTMC1 I've only done it twice. Once, two crackheads were fighting in the back of my car and exited early. I gathered from their conversation that the ride was to a drug house. One of the crackheads forgot their phone, which was connected to my charger, so I tossed it into some bushes. The other time a couple got in my car. The guy made a comment that made me reply that my car was not a cheap hotel. During the ride, he got pretty handsy with his girl and I told him to cut it out. He didn't. So, when he got out and forgot his phone, I gently tossed it onto some grass down the street. He found it because I got a tip the next morning.
@@sergioSMTMC1 he could’ve taken the phone to the front desk and then left them a message since they were corresponding with each other anyway, that’s where he took it to since they didn’t bother showing up. They would’ve found it through find my phone.
@@d.fenestrator9529 and risk them tracking the phone to where he lives like they did? Fuck that. Are you crazy. I’ll throw it in the damn bushes by the hotel before I keep the phone and take it home with me. With that said I’m a decent percent and there is absolutely nothing wrong with giving it to the person at the front desk of the hotel. That’s what I would want someone to do for me if I lost my phone.
This happened to me as well. The passenger showed up, with the police at 7 in the morning. The passenger and I had set up a time and place already to return the phone. They couldn't wait.
I always say a license plate number or loud when I need it. That way the microphone gets it on tape so I can play it back. This helps just in case the camera doesn't get it clearly.
Lyft isn't no good! Once some drunks guys left there phone being a holes in my car. I was working had a passenger and they drove up on me. How dangerous is that even my passanger was scared. No safety
There are no better side hustles than Uber and Lyft guaranteed. is it the best career no way is it the best job no way but it’s hands-down the best side hustle that’s why these crybabies keep crawling back for more
15:22 they passenger found your apartment unit number because they went to the leasing office and gave them your unit number. That's how it happened to me.
I have taken several trips on Uber/Lyft and on a couple occasions have seen the driver's personal mail strewn about in various spaces of the car. Not saying that's what happened here but drivers please keep your vehicles clutter free and free of anything that may have personal info on it. You're just inviting chaos.
I’ve been three this. The phone will ping multiple times cause you can’t turn it off. And they will track it to where u live. Police station give u flack about taking it. Throw the phone away and save yourself the trouble.
I normally never cancel but it was a trip from a bar at 1150am and the guy came the bar walking slowly with his eyes closed and wet stains on the front of his pants. There was no way he was getting in my car! wtf was he doing that drunk in the morning!
I agree even with food delivery, if the customer has an issue, food cold, or wrong item call uber, I always tell customer if there is anything missing contact uber they will refund u the difference, cause there have been issues where customer will still be able to contact u once the trip is over and my app is completely off
Ppl leave their phones & wallet in my car several times driving Uber. Both times I arranged for them to pick them up at security in the airport where I leave it! You’re not tracking me to my house from your phone ever!
Same happened to me. The passenger never responded to me through the app that they left the phone in my car. The next day two young women were knocking at my door. This is not safe at all. What I do now is I wrap the phone in aluminum foil and put it in my oven in the kitchen. This way they can't trace the phone. I gladly will return the item but in a safe manner
With my eight plus years experience and over 30,000 rides on my wheels I learned to always deny any object left in my car and throwing off the window any phone I've found NO MORE MR. NICE GUY I had several ugly not very nice experiences trying to return objects left in my car.
I had a young woman get in my car 9:15pm on Saturday night. She was sweating drunk. I had been on a phone call I ended as she entered my car. I wasn't paying close attention. I have never driven anyone as drunk as her. She was a hot mess trying to leave my vehicle and kept bumping into the back of my car as she was trying to cross the street to her house. I felt like 911 should have been involved. I didn't know what to do. I felt like I needed to return her to her pickup spot or someone needed to be available to get her. She could easily have died after she got out of my car. I don't intend to be in a position to drive people like this ever. I avoid drunk passengers 1000%.
The promotions are non existent these days. Incentives/promotions were a large part of my income. We don’t have upfront fares here, but driving flat rate for uber was never profitable anyway.
Tomorrow Uber's going to send out a terms and service update. We will not be responsible for customers coming to your house if you do not opt out within a month😅😅😅😅
II think they give the driver's address out. In my case, it was Lyft. Cops showed up at my door saying the ping was coming from my house. However, the phone was in my car out in the street, several feet away from the front door. The cop wanted to come in and was pushy. I yelled at them and said no until they left. After returning the phone, I was harassed by the rider for two days. They showed up walking in front of my house a couple of more times after I had already returned the phone. This phone fee needs to be $100+ or this device flies out of the window next time.
I have once returned a phone for free, but only because the passenger was willing to meet at a business of my choice on the way to where I was going when I wanted to (far away from my place and not one I normally go to).
Should have left the phone at the hotel lost and found. They tracked the phone to his house, not really ubers fault but... terrible. I can tell by his body language that he's PTSD. Please talk to a social worker.
Hey if you don’t talk to your neighbor doesn’t mean your neighbor doesn’t know you, mistake was once you went back to the hotel to give the phone back you should have call uber and leave the phone with bell desk or front desk supervisor. Mistake was on you brother
I tried that before at that specific hotel and security refused to take responsibility. My mistake was saying it was left in my car. Next time going to say I found it sitting on a slot machine
I have driven numerous Japanese customers and they always tip. Having spent some time in Japan I can assure that the VAST majority of Japanese citizens would never behave in this fashion
Had another rider leave a phone and theychased .e down with another rider in my vehicle and when i stoped they slung open the back door scared my rider acted like i was stealing their phone
@@JulioGarcia-rw4zq as I formed a habit true it’s not 💯 percent. I am told frequently that’s the first time I’ve been asked that. The important thing is I’m not driving peoples stuff back to them.
I drive taxi 2,% lyft and uber i got more tips on taxi $10 by 2.5p miles countries they like expensive ride tips cheap ride cheap they us as slaves in uber left business
Why are you people still driving for uber. .its over find something else fucking make candles. Ups is hiring amazon going union. I just dont get it. These channels will do nothing.
You don’t know each person’s reasons. For me, I’m 61. Ageism is real and few companies will not go past the fact that I graduated from college in 1985! I had a great career in retail with my last job being Director of Store Ops w/ a co. that had over 1200 store locations and kiosks at all the major malls in the US. 2009 the company downsized by eliminating my level of mgmt. B/C of the @Great Recession” no one was hiring on executives / Directors at the level of pay I was last paid. I knew my worth and offered to come down $10,000. Nope! I was told I’d most likely take a better paying offer at the first chance I got… I reinvented myself in 2010 and had a great career in the interpretation arena. However, in 2017, I moved to Vegas to help my family take care of our 82 y/o father. I started driving with U and L b/c it gave me the flexibility to work around appts, filling in when my brother and his wife couldn’t be there to watch him, etc. It was great money back in 2018 - 2022. (Except for the 6 weeks of the shutdown). Then these companies switched to UFP and took away the incentives that made up the difference for the fares only paying base fare rates. Fast forward to today. My father is almost 90 now. He’s healthier than a horse. I still need to be available on a dime’s notice and I can’t commit to a job that requires me to work an official shift. I tried it and it didn’t work out. So, someone like me (I’m sure there are lots of others) who have to work within the parameters given. My AR is 40%. My CR is 11%. I make 30% less than my avg weeks before UFP was introduced. Now, give me / us your thoughts on what someone in my situation should do?
To many holes in this story. Believe that someone left the phone in his car Nit buying this story. Believe they tracked the phone there us more to this story than he is saying

That's why I use burner mobile for Uber. Mine as the homeless shelter I managed in Key West as my address.
