I've received a request for a trip to BevMo! and required myself and the customer to be 21 or over. I'm above 21, but what if the customer hesitates to show identification or if I checked the customer's I.D and the person is below 21, do I keep the alcohol or drive back to the store to return...

Last week I caught someone, again, exiting my car while carrying an open container (beer can) that was snuck in. This got me wondering what to do if I'm pulled over and the cop sees a pax with an open container. Has anyone had to deal with this?

I have had a rash of pax trying to hop onboard with cups of alcohol. I am amazed that they would think this is acceptable or even legal. Are these people this stupid or is there other drivers allowing this? I make them dump them or threaten to cancel the ride. Just boggles my mind!

Ladies and gentleman, Some info for any seasoned driver or any future ants considering becoming a rideshare slave. If you work any night, naturally assume you will pick up at least three of these disgusting drunk animals from Uber or Lyft. *Have a dashcam that records inside the car, the front...

The other day a pax reported me to Uber for "Impaired driving", even though I haven't had a drink in weeks and I don't do any drugs. -Has anyone else had this complaint? -pt.1 Does it affect your status with Uber? -pt.2 What do you do in these scenarios if accused? I've already gone ahead and...

It must have been the effects of full moon on my riders the other night (And the alcohol they had been drinking) that made for an interesting night. I was hailed by the attention getting chirp of the Uber alarm going off and summoned to a location where a concert had just ended. After several...

In Arizona the law is you can't drive with OPEN containers of alcohol, but can drive with closed as long as it is out of reach of the driver. So can I take alcohol with me in the uber?

Can someone enlighten me on Uber's policy for having open alcohol containers in the vehicle? I love it that Uber doesn't provide new drivers with guidelines for what is permissible and what might be misconstrued as illegal and represent a potential liability risk for you as a driver. I googled...

Read this Fort Worth Star Telegram article tonight and interesting to see how the places I've picked up at are ranked. FW drivers won't be too surprised at Varsity Tavern being #1 in FW. Those folks are so right to be ordering an Uber at 2am. Any thoughts? Here are the top 25 in alcohol...

I'm looking for help or some advice. I had a disagreement about politics with a rider and he decided to report to Lyft that "I seemed like I might be under the influence". They won't tell me who made the report so I don't know for sure. Now after a consistent 4.8 rating and over 400 rides Lyft...

Happy Thursday Uber fam So here we are with yet again another fun story about my encounters with the other side. (TL;DR at bottom as always) So I'm just coming back from a 30 min 6 mile run because this low-rated pax wanted to stop at Taco Bell. Yeah I know I know, it was a slow night. Didn't...

Does anyone have an issue with passengers smoking a cigarette or reeking of alcohol that will funky up your car smell right before they get in?

So it's NYE and I finally get a surge request, only 1.6x but it was early still, 9:30. So next he cancels once and again 4 more times. He gave up on getting a non-surge Fare and a minute later, after they brainstorm he calls and says he really didn't want a ride, but wanted me to go to the...
