How To Gain More Uber Driver Ratings.
An average Driver on a ride-hailing platform is expected to be cautious about its social skills with passengers, per Techbooky. Recall Uber is liable to expel Drivers with low rates from serving via its network. Here are Techbooky’s suggestions to gain more rates asides from uber’s training.
• Be Ready.
Always remember the ride-hailing business mandates “time is money” — this obliges every Driver to arrive early to pick up passengers. A good Driver should be ready to start the trip — this encourages passengers to share Stars to boost your rates whenever Drivers catch up with the estimated time on arrival.
• Always Apply Courtesy.
Ride-hailers obliges courtesy from all participants of its social community. Uber Drivers and passengers are mandated to interact with optimism and respect to promote consumer comfort. Techbooky suggests Drivers treat their riders with courtesy — the same energy driver’s reserve for their vehicles.
• Knot the Seat Belt.
Passengers are liable to emulate the Driver with a buckled seat belt to ensure a safe trip. Per Uber’s policy, unbuckled passengers are likely to endanger lives — especially passengers in the back seat.
For context, Drivers are expected to encourage their passengers to always buckle up on board the vehicle.
• Vehicle Hygiene.
Passengers are likely to liter the vehicle while tripping to the destination. Driver’s should not wait for the passengers to clean the dirt they left behind. A clean ride attracts more passengers to board the vehicle.
