How Do I Report a Driver on Uber?

If you feel that Uber didn't provide you with a good quality service, perhaps their driver was rude, or the vehicle wasn't very clean, the best thing to do is write a negative review on Uber. If the situation was more severe, for example, if the driver was driving recklessly, you can report the driver via phone or email. Uber also has a dedicated critical safety line where you can report serious offenses such as a driver threatening you or breaking the law.

The vehicles are well maintained and clean, and they'll get you to where you want to go on time. If you've had a bad experience with an Uber driver, you may like to report the driver.
