Drivers Speak Out
Real stories from the front lines
"I was deactivated from Uber for something I didn't do. They wouldn't even tell me why. One bad rating from a passenger I never met, and my income was gone. That's when I realized I don't own my business—they do."
Los Angeles, CA
"The same 30-minute airport ride pays different amounts every single time. I've gotten $18, $22, and $14 for the exact same route. The algorithm decides what I'm worth day by day."
San Francisco, CA
"I had a passenger ask how much I was paid for her $80 ride. When I told her $30, she was shocked. She had no idea Uber took 60% of her money. Neither did I until that moment."
Denver, CO
"After 4 years of driving, I calculated I've lost over $40,000 to Uber's fees. That's a new car. That's a down payment on a house. That's my money, gone."
