Uber Tells Drivers to Shut Up with Quiet Mode

Uber recently unveiled Quiet Mode, in which passengers can request a ‘quiet Uber ride’ guaranteed to provide them a driver who won’t engage in chit-chat. Senior RSG contributor Jay Cradeur shares his thoughts on Uber Quiet Mode and what it says about the state of drivers.

I don’t know why I am so irritated by this latest Uber “enhancement.” But I am. I don’t like it.

The change only applies to UberBlack, but we all know how Uber likes to test things before rolling them out to everyone. So let’s learn more about what this new feature is all about.

Here’s What Drivers Should Expect from Uber Comfort

Have you heard of Uber Comfort? It’s a new program Uber is beta testing in cities across the country, including Austin, Phoenix and Atlanta. RSG contributor Paula Gibbins covers what Uber Comfort is, its roll out in cities nationwide, and how it’s affecting drivers.

Uber Comfort sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Well, it was a bit of a shock for drivers in the Phoenix area when it was recently beta tested without their knowledge or consent. I spoke with a driver in Phoenix about his experience and while it was a shocker to begin with, he does see the overall upside of Uber Comfort. Unfortunately, the beta test roll-out just wasn’t quite handled very well.

Uber Pro

I count myself among the thousands of driver who feel undervalued, under-appreciated and underpaid. While Uber and Lyft have paid lip service to appreciation of their drivers, very little has changed in how much we are paid or how much we are recognized.

Recently, I sat in on a presentation in which Uber unveiled their new Uber Pro program in an effort to remedy many of the issues and complaints rideshare drivers experience.

Uber Sign Up Bonus – How To Get The Largest Bonus Available

Note – Uber has been moving away from sign up bonuses and toward guarantees, which are very different from sign up bonuses. Click here to learn more about Uber guarantees. Some markets still offer bonuses (below) but most markets likely have shifted to guarantees.

I’ve worked all sorts of different jobs in my life, but it wasn’t until I started driving for Uber and Lyft that I got my first ever sign-up bonus. I always thought that sign-up bonuses were reserved for executives or athletes, but apparently rideshare drivers can get them too (although, of course, no where near the same amounts as athletes or execs!).

Rideshare sign-up bonuses can fluctuate wildly by market and time of year, but it’s not unheard of for a brand new driver to be offered $500 just to sign up and do 75 rides (on top of the pay you get for doing the rides). [Note – many of these bonuses have shifted to guarantees].

I’ve always found it odd that these companies will pay drivers so much money to get started, but the hourly pay is only in the $10-$20/hr range. It’s sort of like hiring someone to work at Hot Topic for the summer and giving them a huge sign-up bonus. Huh?

Uber New Driver Bonus

One of the nice things about working for rideshare companies is that they typically offer a very good incentive to start, such as the Uber new driver bonus or guarantee. Uber sign-up guarantees/bonuses can fluctuate wildly by market and time of year, but these days, it’s not unheard of for a brand new driver to be offered a $500-$1,000 guarantee just to sign up and do 50-100 rides within 30 days. In the past, Uber’s new driver sign up bonus would be $500 but these days they are shifting towards a guarantee in almost all their markets, which isn’t as lucrative but still not a bad deal.

If you’re ready to sign up with Uber and get your bonus, we’ve created the ultimate guide to answer all of your Uber sign on guarantee questions, plus how much drivers make with Uber, how to get started driving with Uber, Uber driver requirements and more.
