    it shows the surrounding surging like crazy . I’m here / doing SELECT and it’s moving better than usual . But with all the surge around the prices are the same . So it doesn’t surge from the inside the airport or what ? I accepted a fare two days ago it was showing 2.3 surge and it came out...

    Got this at the check in box tonight at DTW. 1. We will have to show waybill at check in. (I have no prob providing waybill) 2. We will now be reported for UNDEFINED "conduct" and "incidents." I thought we had rights... These airport autority guys and gals treat us like garbage, moving us...

    I've been driving Lyft for a couple weeks and learned that if I drive a nicer vehicle I can get a rate increase. As of right now I get a bit as soon as I turn the app on but I keep getting rocked with small fare rides. Anyone using Select in metro detroit? How long in between fares? Is it...

    Hello Everyone! Another Uber XL/Select Driver recently gave me the heads up on a new scam being done by certain unscrupulous UberX, XL, and Select Drivers at DTW Airport in an attempt to manipulate the Airport Pick-Up Queue to favor certain drivers over others. Apparently, this is how the...

    Someone gave me this code last summer at DTW. It was a group for the uber drivers at dtw to coordinate surge fares. Forgot about it. There has been mention of it. Yes it was and is real. Rules: I was told rules when given the code. 1. Stay offline until surge is 1.4x. Then let everyone know...

    Hey guys/gals, Be mindful of your fares at DTW when there is a supposed surge. Twice last night there was a 1.8-2x surge at the airport and I was one of two cars in the que. Yet, when I got the ping, there was no multiplier and thereby no surge included in my fare. I contacted Uber and they...

    3 days ago I made $400 at the airport. No other drivers we're there. Not even black cars or suv. I was and have been select only. It was great and I expect this will not happen again for a long time. Now... There are 100 uberx drivers in queue on a Thursday... Hahahhahahaha.. Ahh...

    If we could communicate with each other. Like a long-term group chat at the airport. HOW MANY of you here would try to work together? How many of the actual drivers at Airport look at this??? If you drive there please cast a vote on the poll. If 100 people hit this poll than that means there is...

    I literally vacuum my car 3 times a day. Have a portable. I have great black leather interior that I wipe down after almost every rider, car is 2 years old. My rating is steady 4.9. Driving for a year. Car smells new rides new. I drive select usually. Select has been extremely slow for me for...

    Everyone at dtw i hope you see this because this is important! 1. GO OFFLINE, park where you park and wait. go offline until the queue goes to 1 car and surges. it does this every single time within 2 minutes of 1 car in queue. 2. this way you will not receive requests from outside of the...

    Hey everyone hitting dtw for uberx. Little insight we just discovered. Anywhere withong the airport area is apparently broken. If you want a ride sit North of i94. Something with the queue is not working. Drivers are saying they've sat in North lot for 2 hours. The second we drove North of 94...

    I've contacted Korotkin insurance agency for my commercial insurance, I was told I got denied because the "vin number" of my vehicle was used by someone else to try to get commercial insurance? Ok... so that does not make any sense?? I just want an agency in michigan that can get me a commercial...

    We are flying into DTW July 2nd. We want to be picked up at DTW and driven to Fenton, MI. I'm wondering if we will have a problem with Uber driver's not wanting to take the trip since its a little over an hour away? I've tried to contact Uber directly but just got a bunch of form letter emails...

    Several companies, including Yellow Cabs / SelectRide in Ann Arbor have recently went out of business. But Uber cannot wipe us all out. And now, with people getting used to riding with others, combined with the increasing problem of crappy unprofessional TNC drivers turning down or screwing up...

    It's interesting, I have been doing airport runs since late summer 2015. At first I used to hit the streets but noticed how easy the airport was. Then all of the police started harassing uber drivers that pick up in the baggage claim area before Christmas; ticketing, towing and arrested those...

    With the peanuts rates from Uber, I will apply for Lyft in the next day or two. I read about the application process. How long does it take from applying until you are on the road? All my records are clean. I read about the mentor session - is anyone a mentor here? And if you have a promo code...
