I was just about 5 minutes away from dropping off my passengers when I got this pop up message:

It was a 4-hour, 200-mile, round trip from Tampa to Ocala and back. The fare was more than $350 (XL).

My question is, is there a time limit or mileage limit for trips? Has anyone had this happen to them before?

The trip shows up in my dashboard but not in the Driver App, and there are no earnings shown for the trip.

I've heard from others that Uber will auto end any trip longer than 4 hours. Looks like this is confirmation of that.

Ok thanks! I've never heard of any limits so I guess that's good to know.

Yup. 4 hour time limit. Did you take them all the way to their destination? (I would guess you did. Uber is the ahole here, no reason for you to join them) put in for a fair adjustment explaining why.

FUber control just does not cease! Does chi1cabby know about this?

I know right.. "I'm sorry Pax, as you can see here on my phone Uber wants you out of my car, so hey, GTFO would ya?"

Oh yeah, I wasn't just going to kick them out. I just spent 4 hours with them and they bought me lunch. I was only a few miles from their house so they had to direct me. I guess you learn something new everyday!

if you want to make an issue over the 5 or 10 bucks.. Email support and have the fare adjusted.

But, I can pretty much tell you the banging your head on the wall and frustration with support will likely cost you more than you'll get.

No, if I get paid on what it says, I will be happy. Like I said, I was really close to their house. And I know what support is like. I've spent hours just trying to get .79 cents reimbursed for a toll!

 

[sidewazzz]

Just email them and let them know when it was suppose to end. Nice trip btw.

CommanderXL you're gonna have to keep emailing anyways to get paid for this trip. Trips that are over $100 have to be manually reviewed & approved for you to get paid. Might as well ask them to pay you for the correct drop off location.

heck of a ride. if pax was cool , even better.

 

[daniel mondello]

What a great trip..... great job !!!

I know right! If only it were a surge!!

Yeah, passengers were really cool and there were only 2 of them. 15 minute stop in Ocala (no questions asked) and then they bought me fish (place called Off the Hooks, lol) and right back to Tampa.

I have a feeling this trip will haunt me though. There will be a flood of new drivers after Uber's new ads - Tampa drivers earn up to $89 an hour! And in the Weekly Summary - The best drivers made $89/hr. Lol

rule number 2 , never ask whats in the box.

Not sure yet. Uber Support, and others, said it was standard practice that large fares needed to be reviewed. Here's what Support said:

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the confusion.

I completely understand the frustration around not seeing this trip in your statement, especially given the significant fare.

Because it was a large fare, our team has to give it special approval before it can be processed. I apologize for the delay but want to assure you that it will be on your next week statement.

Trip ID: db837125-5d38-468d-908b
Trip Details: Distance (Miles) 203.07 and Time 240:22 minutes
Amount: 356.67

In the case it's not, please let me know and I will immediately look into it for you.​

 

[Mr Microphone]

What they are really saying is: We wanna make sure we get paid, before you get paid...

 

[JWest]

Just had this happen today. Trip ended after about 60 miles, and 2 hours in traffic. But i still had another 40 miles to go.
