Most travelers aren’t aware that after using Uber drivers are rating those whom they pick up. What’s also a little known fact is that you can have Uber send your average rating. The rating system, which uses a one through five scale (five being the best), was put in place by the company so drivers can learn more about what to expect when they pick up certain passengers, and, in theory, decide whether or not they want to pick them up in the first place.
The ability to request your rating is hidden deep in the Uber app settings. I decided to request mine and in less than a minute I received an email informing me “Your rating is an average of all your trips taken so far. At this time, it is 4.7.” I suppose that’s not bad out of 5. But it’s nice to know that Uber helps you get a better score. Check it out here. You might also like to know that according to Uber “Ratings are always reported as averages, and neither riders nor drivers will see the individual rating left for a particular trip.”
Interested to learn your rating. Here are the steps:
- Open the Uber app
- Click the Profile section located in the top-left
- Select Help
- Tap “Account”
- Choose “I’d like to know my rating”
- Tap on “Submit”
- Check your email
