Sometimes riders might give their trip a low rating for reasons beyond your control – such as an issue with the app. Previously, these ratings would have counted towards your overall rating, even if they weren’t a reflection of your service. Now, these ratings won’t count towards your score. Uber will still get the feedback to help us improve but it won’t impact your overall rating. GUESS WHAT, the rating from different minorities background will still be low!!! I am curious about this change if we can feel it?

6 is the max indeed and like Darren said, will be very expensive to insure the car as well. I have a friend with 6 points , 15 years driving experience, 41 years old, insurance is £420 a month

We regularly hear of drivers delivering great service so now, if your rider thinks you deserve more than just “Thanks for the ride!”, they will have the option to leave you a tip through the app. Once the trip has finished, your rider will see the option to leave a tip when they rate you. We’ll take care of the rest, debiting it from their preferred payment method and adding it to your payments. 100% of the tip goes to you. You can keep track of any tips by going to the earnings tab in your app. WOW, this is something ! https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/the-latest-installment-of-improvements-for-drivers/#morecontrol

6. After that it's hard to rent a car or get insured.
