Uber car saving tips

You get a rating, too so be nice
If you thought you were the only one who got to be judgy, well, you're in for a surprise. Drivers rate riders, too, on a 1- to 5-star scale. Your rating pops up when drivers accept or deny your request. So if you've thrown up in the backseat one too many times...you might have a harder time getting a ride with uber car.
Always dispute cancellation fees don't ever pay the $5.00
You have a window of time to cancel your request before Uber charges a cancellation fee. If you happen to get a cancellation fee, head to the "Help" section of the Uber app and dispute the fee. Uber will almost always waive it, as reported by Uber addicts around the CNET office.
Don't rely on the location feature. Instead, enter the address, type in a business name or move the pin yourself.
