Pax get 5-stars automatically so if I have to spend the time to change your rating, you're getting 3-stars or less. The fact of the matter is, you can either sit there & behave yourself like an adult or I never want you in my vehicle again.

I believe there was a brief moment a year or so ago where lyft changed it to 4-stars or below & you wouldn't be matched again, so I might have left a couple 4-stars for that reason, but that lasted all of a week & they went right back to 3-stars or below to not be paired again, so 3-stars or less it has been since then.

No tip = 4 stars at best.

Only rarely if there is some issue you want to preemptively document, like you accidentally ran a stop sign and are worried about being reported so you make something up about pax being a backseat driver or such.

One star everybody. Unless they tip. If no tip you can protect yourself against false reports.

 

[Fozzie]

People fall into one of two categories... WOULD drive again, and WOULD NOT drive again.

If the ride was profitable and I'd drive them again, they get 5*

If I lost money on the run, if the passenger was a pain in the ass, or if it was a waste of my time, 1* to ensure that you're never matched again.

As far as tips, if you made ok money off of a run, do you really nitpick over whether or not they gave you a $1 tip? It shouldn't be about tips, it should be about overall profitability.

no tip = 4 stars, can still get paired

no tip on airport = 1 stars

any sort of jerk = 1 star

takes me to the ghetto = 3 star

cubs frat drunk guys = 4 stars

trixie drunks = 4

older people = 5

I've been lucky with my paxs so far. All 5 stars. I gave 3 stars to one Chinese girl, for furst trying to get me to pick her up not where she indicated in the app, then refusing to get out of the car when we arrived, because again she wanted to get off a block further away than she indicated.

 

[Bob Reynolds]

I rate 5 stars if they tip me because they really have to go out of their way NOT to tip these days.

If they do not tip, then it will be a 4 star rating unless they did something else like ping the wrong address, not give the gate code on a gated community, are not ready when I arrive, have no idea where they are going, smell bad or damage my vehicle.

You can not get a 5 star rating with me unless you tip.

She should have gotten 1*

She should have gotten 1*

One star seems to be immature. I think only kids rate a one star Driven too much by emotion.

Well the pax I had this morning made my car smell like dank weed. So she's getting 1 star. Not an emotional thing. Everyone rates differently.

If you give 4 star or less to the pax, they take revenge with the next Uber driver.

Nothing immature about it. I give plenty of 1* ratings to people, regardless of age.

In Boston that is like 30% of paxs.

Nothing immature about it. I give plenty of 1* ratings to people, regardless of age.

About age, I meant you act like a pouting kid when you are rating someone a 1 star.

 

[Fozzie]

Giving someone a 1* rating is a business decision. As a businesswoman, my first priority is to ensure profitability. A 1* rating is one of the only tools I have available that allows me to control and regulate who I do business with and to minimize my losses.

 

[losiglow]

How do you know if the PAX gave you a tip before you rate? You have to rate to get back into the app don't you?

I wait to see if they tip.

Feel the same way about taking pax to the ghetto

 

[kos um uber]

any ride less than 8 dollar its 1 star tip or without tip

Plenty of reasons to rate 1-star. I look at it this way: Would another driver want this particular pax?

If the answer is, "Hell no" than that justifies a 1-star.
