I done it once but luckily was only a minimum fare trip.

I've now got into the habit of, as soon as the rider gets in I press start trip then confirm where they are going, as you can't see until you press start trip. Also you can't even enter a destination in the app until you start the trip (however you could before the update)

Also even if the passenger hasn't put the destination in and I know where to go, I will still put it in because I don't want the rider complaining to uber saying that they didn't go there etc. I also ask them to change the destination if there is more than one drop, I think this is the safest way.

Long story short, always make sure the destination is entered into uber. This way you can rest assure that you have started the trip.

Also if you don't have any cell service and can't start the trip then tell the rider and do not physically start the trip. Maybe try restarting mobile data (it won't cancel the trip)

If this doesn't work then personally I would tell the rider you cannot take them, as far as I'm aware if you don't have a trip then you are not covered by insurance. However I'm not fully aware of this
