First, you need to know where to find this hidden treasure (or the ticking time bomb). It's not like Uber sends you a "Report Card Day" email. You have to be a digital detective.
Open the Uber app on your phone. Tap that little profile icon in the top right corner—the one that looks like a person, probably with a bad haircut. Now, look for your name and the tiny little number right underneath it.
That number is your rating. It's usually something like 4.94 or 4.87. If it's a perfect 5.00, you are either a saint or you've only taken one ride and the driver was your mom.
What Does That Number Even Mean?
Think of your Uber rating like a high school popularity meter, but with less drama. A 4.9 means you're the friendly kid who everyone wants to sit with. A 4.8 means you're probably fine, but maybe you closed the door a little too quietly, which makes drivers nervous.
Anything below 4.7? Oh, honey. You might be the person who eats a smelly tuna sandwich in the car or asks to stop for gas. You're the "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" of the Uber world.
Drivers see this number before they accept your ride. A low rating is like walking into a bar with a "Kicked Out" stamp on your forehead. It's not illegal, but it sure makes things awkward.
You can now see how many 1 star Uber ratings you have, and it'd be rude
