Type in your vehicle reg and see if you will pay or not from 2019!

Mate, is becoming clear. even the middle class is using UberX for day to day ride, only evenings or important moments they use EXEC or LUX.

Buy the cheapest hybrid you can find, around £4,000 and go for X, much more efficient

Last night was busy, made good money, surge 80% of the time but as usual rating dropped like flies. I dont get it, why do they acccept such high fares when they can use a different company like Addison lee or even black cabs and then give us 1 star.

I mean no one is forcing them to accept 2.0X price but yet they do it

Makes sense, pure sense, black cab electric I wonder if they will profit from the same super chargers?

Is close, I am so curious what will be the outcome on the first hearing, uber is under fire everywhere, big bets here big big

They lost the the appeal for worker rights, the situation is becoming really serious. What if?

I dropped someone at T2 and then I was on my way towards London on Bath road, guess what, job coming from Marriot going to Oxford!!

I was like, what? how come?

Anyone?

They pay £500 for new drivers and people still think it will be banned

 just 2 facts:

1-London – June 11, 2015 – TfL Pension Fund ('The Fund') has appointed BlackRock to manage liability-driven investing (LDI) and passive equity portfolios totaling £3.8bn assets.

2-By rum coincidence, Blackrock invested a reported £124 million in Uber in 2014, giving it a stake which is now worth nearly £500 million

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?

most of the customer don't select a reason so they cant track it!

Uber says that it has seen an average of more than 60 percent increase in Uber pickups from Night Tube stations. Across the board, Uber says that journeys starting within 200 meters of Night Tube stations have grown by 22 percent while the Night Tube is running.

Is it true?

I never had any pick up from underground station during the night!

I am curious how many drivers lost the licence because of this test?? cant wait for the number to be made public

So they aer paying £500 referral for new drivers before september audition, what does it mean? they know for sure the licence will not be a problem

Another 10% increase for time needed to make same amount of money with this wave of new drivers, every autumn same pattern, sick of it

Best dashcam for me is E-prance, value for money.

Definitely worth the money!

Toyota prius all the way even more reasons for people to buy them

Hybrid and electric is the future anyway, it makes no sense in the future for this business to get a diesel car

Moving from X to Exec in such a short time made this category not so professional, is not enough to have a cool car if you dont know where is Marble Arch, although Exec is best option for money efficiency from customers point of view, is not that expensive  

I have a mate who is still driving for a local minicab office and he is making his fuel money only fro tips, I mean if you take in consideration he is making more money than me and no stress with ratings and your account being deactivated. WE NEED TIPPING OPTION

We used to get around £20/hour, now I see everything is dropping, I mean for £960 you have to stay around 60 hours online.

What is your average these days?

For those who went to school here, some info to compare your existing certificate with the Cambridge English exam B1 which is required by TFL:

All GCSE English certificate is more than enough basically !!!

What is all these Gumtree ads saying you can drive a brand new car and get paid paid £600/week for 10 hours shift - 6 days a week?

I mean, if you think it about it, its not so bad, £100/day and no expenses , no car, no fuel, no insurance-no hassle and you have a brand new car.

Is anyone already doing it for them??

https://www.gumtree.com/search?search_category=all&q=pco&search_location=London

Many drivers are doing this just part time, maybe 40%????

I am playing with the new uber app, is so confusing.

It looks so strange, it is not simple any more, i have customers complaining about it all day long.

What is wrong with Uber, is this upgrade or downgrade????

what do you think?

You can not check all the areas any more, you cant see how many cars there are online in City for example if you are in Chelsea...horrible horrible

Uber is not stealing your money, i agree some times the cancellation fees they disappear but only because the customer is complaining, you can manually check those jobs and ask uber for explanations, 100% they will give you the money backs, i thinks this is the only problem 

I hear you, but will prefer not to have this kind of stress, less but safe

I had 2 jobs last week 100% fraud around £150 each but i did not get any warnings from Uber.

I sent them an email and they just said thanks for telling us and that it.

Of course they advised to cancel the trip if we thinks is a fraud and bla bla, but who is going to do that and risk having the car damaged by those dodgy guys, i will not do it!!

What about you guys??

What is your experience with fraud riders???

Any problems?

Dont forget the water, parking, some treats if the case!!

I will cut another £100 from profits!!!
