what is that

 

[njn]

A few extra cents for long pickups, usually exceeding 10 minutes, market dependent.

 

[SlyWolf]

I never take those, not worth it

 

[Lenny_yellow_cab]

what is that

It means they might or might now gove u some pennies if u go get them

 

[HumbleKid]

It’s something you shouldn’t be doing.

 

[OrlUberOffDriver]

Yeah! Another FUber scam to get you to go to long pick ups, then only to find it is a minimum fare after you drove 15 minutes and 7 miles.
What a Joke!
#UberFAIL

When you see that message the pick up is normally far away and they might give you a nickel for you driving that far.

It's a trip to ignore.

 

[Analyst83]

13 minutes and 4.78 miles was $1.39
extra once i tried

It’s a chance to step up and show you are a Uber loyalist.

I still don’t get why they send far out pickup when they have driver standing on every corner.

 

[NYCDriver]

I still don't get why they send far out pickup when they have driver standing on every corner.

The best is lyfts "you are the only nearby driver" when you are 3 miles 15 mins away in a dark pink zone

I’m about to accept it but realized I’m on my fulltime job

 

[burgerflipper]

• they dont pay you for the first 9 minutes of your drive
• the long pickup fee is always base rates, even if the ride is surging
• the pay is based on "most efficient route" to pickup location, not on actual route. less money for you

try it once. i guarantee youll never try it again

 

[jtd617]

I got one in Ozone Park to pick up in the Rockaways , got $1 plus change and lost $$$ on toll even though you're allowed to collect twice uber insisted on being loyal to customer not I, haha

 

[Bklyndriver]

I'm about to accept it but realized I'm on my fulltime job

And why do have the uber app on at your full time job?

The ****ers tried to send me to far Rockaway once. 25 minute drive. I was in Jamaica, NY. Cancelled immediately. But in that case I understand. Nobody works in far Rockaway or Long Beach. The premium pickup thing makes sense now

 

[namo3]

premium pickup possibility means, dont touch it let it dies out, then wait for the next ping

 

[delaynomore]

i couldnt pass up on it since they insist. had a 1.9x and it was towards my traveling direction
