sfusion Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 HI guys, I am curious if someone know about fee that Uber has introduce to drivers from US, what if they will do the same here. After the last cuts imagine paying another £1 for every job you do??? I am getting so stressed about this job in the last period, pfff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfusion Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 http://blog.uber.com/saferides I think is for the riders mate, not us. For complete pricing transparency, you’ll see this as a separate line item on every uberX receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfusion Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yes, apologies Indeed Background checks and interviews are usually part of most companies’ recruiting processes. But Uber, the rideshare and taxi service company, is charging customers a fee for the screening of its potential drivers. And given recent sexual assault allegations against the company, Uber’s $1 “Safe Rides Fee” may be yet another insult to passengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 No. In the US, anyone with an acceptable 4/5-door within their age limit can drive for Uber (X/XL only, probably). That's why you see plenty of part-time nurses, teachers, students etc. doing it. In London, you have to be a licenced private hire driver, with the appropriately licensed vehicle, with the proper hire and reward insurance cover, which is what the safe rides fee in the US covers. Hence it is unikely to be needed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
