i attempted to use uber eats again hoping for the best. i orginally experineced a problem when i order from italian fiesta. this driver simply gave me the wrong pizza. however uber handle that very well by just refunding the entire cost of the meal. however this time i ordred from tony's famous steak located on 1800 e 79th st, chicago, il 60649-4618. they have a special buy 1 get one free. i have used this in the past with no problems. however on today i order my regular chicken philly, buy one get another for free. so that should be a total of 4 chicken phillies. i only received the two phillies and no soda when i informed uber what had happen they had the only refunded me $5. i will simply ask if you read this please no longer use them. they have given me a response time of 6 to 12 hours via chat only. not a live person. this is unexpectable. read more

Uber has horrible customer service. Also Uber Eats sux. Other than that not bad on the driving part.

I prefer the city taxi service. Uber is not reliable. I was standing at Midway in a storm waiting for someone but gave up and got a cab. It was faster and cheaper. The Uber ap sucks too. read more

This fucking company gets away with highway robbery. Literally. If I cancel a ride after 4-5 minutes waiting I get charged. Today I waits for 40 minutes while 5 drivers canceled after waiting no less than 5 minute for each ride. Why am I not being compensated for those cancellations. Total bullshit. Then I get to listen to the drivers complain of how the company screws them too. read more

Worthless for accessible rides. Waited 20 minutes to get a wheelchair van- no response. I'm going g to quit them

I ordered a ride tonight at 6:04. At 6:09, my driver pulled up and sat across the street staring at me. Finally, he pulled up, stayed in dead centre middle of cross street intersection with his car parked sideways so nobody could get past him, locked his doors, pointed to my service dog and shook his finger to motion "no". Then, he rolled down his window and began yelling that he won't take my dog. I said he is a service dog, he yelled "that is not a service dog," and sped off. My dog happens to be a SEIZURE PREVENTION SERVICE DOG. He simply judged it due to his size. The service my dog provides REQUIRES he be close to my face, so I have him in a sling across my chest. Driver is named Sher. He drives a dark grey Toyota Camry Hybrid. License plate L698627. read more

Called, reserved a ride to Midway Airport. Received confirmation... day of, and exact time I was to be picked up? Received, "Can not find a driver". I DO NOT RECOMMEND AR ALL! Had to cancel flight, rebook, frantically search and pay a friend to take me. Thank goodness she had the day off... not the way SHE wanted to spend it... I WILL NEVER BOOK ANYTHING WITH UBER AGAIN. read more

Meh!? Gah! I used Uber to get around Chicago a bunch. It's not as easy as they make it out to be in the app. Especially if you get the cheap-o way to get around. Jeesh- it was like last call at the bars, we get an uber to get to the other side of the Loop, and we get driven past the same street corner two other times as we made other rides, turning a 20 minute ride into an hour long chore. Yuck. The drivers have often been okay. I guess it beats the bus. read more

I vacationed in Chicago in September. I continually had problems with my Uber requests. On this request, the driver got lost and told me to cancel the request. I canceled the request. Uber billed me for three drivers. In addition to that, after waiting for the first driver, the street I was on was closed because of an Hispanic Heritage event going on; therefore, no subsequent drivers could have arrived to pick me up. I have so confidence in Uber and will never use them in the future. read more

Horrible customer support - can't ever get a real person live. Only copy and pasted responses. Try to be deceptive on purpose in providing you any way to resolve your issues. As an end consumer it's so frustrating to never be actually heard, but just treated as cattle to be fed through some queue. Switched to overwhelmingly using Lyft 6 years ago after a similar support issue (never had a problem there) and wanted to use Uber again for the Marriott points program. I guess not anymore, what a mistake read more

Ordered an Uber. Driver was late and sent a message saying he couldn't find my location (they've picked me up countless times at same address!). I received a 2nd message that another driver was coming 10 min. after pick-up, at which point the 2nd driver cancelled on me. I got charged 25.00 for 'cancelling,' despite not cancelling. When I called the phone number for customer service, it was a recorded message indicating to go to the on-line help site. They don't have a live person responding on-line. It's all automated. Never again will I order an Uber! read more

Uber is a great service but at the same time they don't pay attention to their customers reviews issues about not picking up in the right location and you can't complain on their complain line because they asking you computer generated questions there has nothing to do with what you really want to ask them. read more

Uber just recently added an option to book a taxi and the rate usually cheaper than the regular price. Every time I attempted to book it, it was unavailable due to a "busy time". Everytime ia a busy time. What is the point? It only wastes my time waiting for a taxi for 10+ minutes to end up booking regular Uber fair anyway. If the app shows that there is driver available within reach and certain amount of time, it should be available. Never the case. I am getting disappointed over and over again. read more

Uber is conducting the biggest discrimination action by an company history. The disabled and people of color comprise of Ubers fleet of walkers and bikers. Uber has programmed their app to almost complete stop giving this group order. read more

Uber in Chicago has become much more expensive than regular taxis. An off hours trip from my house to my son's house cost 6 dollars and change two years ago, and that same trip has ranged from $24-$28 now. It's one mile! The pricing is absurd. I know that gas prices are up, and maybe that could add fifty cents to the cost of a 1 mile trip, and the city has added a small fee of about $1, but a 400% increase is beyond absurd. Find another way to travel if you can. Uber Chicago is no good anymore. read more

Don't use the trial version of Uber One. They will claim cancellation but continue to bill you.

I was doing Uber eats for extra money and the first few deliveries I was paid but then the rest I wasn't. I've been given the run around and nothing.

What an absolute shitshow it is taking Uber these days. Today's ride was the worst I've had in 8+years of taking Uber. The driver refused to take us all the way to our destination because "we were being rude". Wr were not talking and used no profanity nor did we raise our voice at any time. We did ask him to turn down his (incredibly shitty) music three times and he refused to do so. He was blasting the music at a ridiculous level from the back speakers only; clearly trying to make us uncomfortable. He topped it off by rolling down the back windows on a cool evening, To top it off he was driving his Dodge Charger like a maniac. All around a terrible experience. read more

Uber is a piece of trash company that only cares about their bottom line with no regard for customer service or getting things right. Due to an emergency, I had to ask the driver to take me back to the original pickup location after only riding for one block. The driver pretended to be nice and understanding. Next day I check my receipt and I was charged for the full 11 mile trip - EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T GO ON THE FULL TRIP. I tried every which way to get in contact with customer service to get this sorted out and it's been 3 days and I still can't get a hold of anyone AT ALL. Honestly, I preferred when taxis where the only option. These kinds of problems wouldn't happen with taxis. Just because you get picked up in a slightly cleaner car with no taxi markings doesn't mean the Uber driver is a better person or the experience will be better. You used to be able to catch a cab quickly on most city corners. Now Uber has put taxis out of business and replaced them with far worse service. Uber needs to disappear. read more

I rely on uber to get to and from work as I canntot drive due to a disability. This morning I was charged $33 (not including type) because Uber was busy. I should not have to pay that much to go four miles, when I am pretty sure that a majority of that money is NOT going to the driver. Also, when you try to get help on a ride, it is impossible to get ahold of a person, and they only want to hear feedback about the driver, not the company. I will continue to use Uber out of neccesity but I feel that they are taking advantage of their drivers and riders. Very upset. read more

This is just for Joesph. This is the Uber driver, who picked me up, asked for my address to put it in another gps, and when I refuse, he canceled my ride. He said if I went back in the Uber app he'd be able to catch it, but the fee had jumped $10 due to him canceling the ride! He then tried to not drop me off back at my office. He took me back and I reported Joesph to Uber. He's scamming and still out there! read more

Uber - Scammer driving for Uber. - Taxis Near Me

I contacted uber twice to issue my a refund of my uber cash so I wrote them a comment on facebook and they issued a refund but their uber team told me it would take 3-5 business days to reflect on my debit card. That's unacceptable. It takes those people 2 seconds to take the money out of my account and they tell me that I have to wait 3-5 day for MY money. I need it back now. I have been a loyal uber customer for some time but if this doesn't get resolved I will take my business to Lyft. When I commented again on their facebook about this, Uber told me to contact their in-app support, but "in app" support team doesn't respond to me and I didn't get an email from uber either. I wouldn't have to contact Uber through FB if they were responsive. read more

The driver canceled on me. Picking i up p my brother from NW memorial hospital. I wanted another driver. But Uber Charged me a $5 fee. I got another driver who was great. But if the driver cancels on me, I should get $5 refunded to me. Sounds like a money grab five bucks at a time. Does Lyft charge this as well? read more

My Uber account was hacked. I used the app to report the fraud immediately. Uber removed the rides and eats. 6 months later Uber reinstated 1 ride. Now it's too late to report the fraud via the app. Uber customer service could not understand or correct their mistake. I'm riding Lyft from now on. Friends don't let friends use Uber. read more

Pre arranged and confirmed a 9:00a pickup from University Chicago to O'Hare. First a delay message AFTER the scheduled pickup time. Then a second, and then a third. Then a cancelation. Then a new driver assigned. Then another cancelation. Then a THIRD driver assigned. Pickup 30 minutes after the original request. Doesn't seem to grasp "urgency ". We are just clearing the loop AN HOUR after my ride, requested YESTERDAY. Flight begins boarding at 11:30. We'll see read more

Well, Uber used to be cheaper than cabs... then, they started charging more than cabs from the airport at certain times. The service is no better than a cab. In both cases, they want the fare to be done with so that they can take the next fare. And cabs have flat fares between cities and the airport. There is no meter. So when a flat fare is $45 for a cab, and $71 for Uber, you start wondering. But my complaint does not stop there. More and more Uber drivers have started asking about the destination right after accepting the request and before they start moving to pick you up. If they don't like the answer, they cancel. And you just wasted time. But that does not give them any money. It's just convenience. The next trick that is happening more and more: A driver accepts a fare, but does not go anywhere. If you cancel, you have to pay a fee, and then fight with Uber to get your money back. Or they accept the fare when they have not dropped off their current fare. Tons of time wasted. Uber does not protect the customers. They don't care about customers. In fact, when you go to their website, there is no way to contact them. They probably had a customer service line to contact them in the past, but considering the crappy service I've received not long ago, and how things are going south, I would probably remove that phone number too. I feel bad for the good drivers out there, those that are serious about giving a good service. But that is the difference about Uber and a cab: with Uber, every driver is on their own, not caring about the next. With cabs, they make sure that their business does not go under. They have no choice but to have a decent customer service, or they will lose their business. And if there is a bad apple in their midst, I don't think that driver will last very long. I travel for business a lot and need transportation all the time. I've stopped using Uber. I think I will try Lyft eventually, but then it will depend on the quality of their customer service. Once thing is for sure: I've started using cabs again, and they're a lot less problematic than Uber. read more

This is by far THE WORSE Uber experience I've ever had! I am in the middle of a move. I went to Walmart to shop for groceries and get some boxes as well to knock two birds out with one stone. I am aware that this was a pool ride. I have never had a problem taking back a few groceries before. I only had a few bags and a few boxes. The Uber driver pulled up. I informed the driver that I am fine taking as little as he can take in his car. He got out of the car and went to the trunk only to not even open his trunk. He said I can't take it. I said can I sit the groceries in my lap and on the floor where I would be sitting? He said yes. He went back to his car and drove off with me yelling "Sir..?! " .. Are you fucking kidding me?? So now I have to wait to get my money back from a company who doesn't even have a phone number! read more

Worst customer service model I have seen in my 49 years on the planet. Called for a an Uber to take me to a dinner meeting this evening, he asked me to meet him at a Main Street. We agreed to meet at a specific intersection. He never showed up after telling me he was already there. I tried by text to get clarification as to where he actually was and he wouldn't respond. I called his cell twice and he wouldn't pick up. Then randomly canceled on me for no reason. No communication. Then, Uber has no customer service AT ALL. I had to go to Twitter to contact them. That guy said NOTHING. asked for my phone number and the time of my ride (that never happened). Never responded. Uber sent an email and said I was charged. That isn't even the point. I was left stranded in the snow with no communication. I also cannot leave the guy that left me there any kind of feedback through the app because he never bothered to show up. That is pertinent info, don't you think?? Uber is COMPLETE TRASH. read more

I am very disappointed. They locked in my money and didn't provide the service in a decent time frame. I am pressed in time and if they cant provide the service they should say so not take me for a run around and waste my time. read more

I have utilized Uber for both ride sharing and Uber Eats. This weekend I took a number of Ubers downtown Chicago. The vehicles arrived quickly, were clean and all of the drivers professional. One issue arose if being dropped off at the wrong location, but any issues in the past Uber has made it right. Uber vs Lyft...Uber hands down better. read more

I'm seeing a pattern where I pay money upfront and then after waiting awhile, the ride is canceled and then another ride is supposed to come. However, they're late on their estimate. It happened again today and I ended up canceling my ride and took the CTA, which ended up being faster. I deleted my Uber app and won't be using them again. read more

I have only used Uber twice, both in the Chicago area. My first was a very good ordeal and worked out well for me but this second was NOT. If this trip had been first, I would never use the service again. My first service was from Homewood, IL to Gary IN and it was very pleasant. The driver came in his very clean car, asked if he could play his native African music or if I wanted something else or quiet. I enjoyed listening to his music and having a little chit chat back and forth. I enjoyed it so much that I started talking to my colleagues about it and suggested they use it too. I even talked to my kids about using it at home if they needed a ride. So when I came back to O'hare and found that a driver had not been reserved for me through my vendor, it was very natural for me to try Uber again. I had already looked at the approx fee which stated it would be around $50 to $60. When I used my app, I was told to go up to the departures to meet the driver. Why would I go up to Departure, all the taxi's and pick ups are at the arrival level but to make things easy, I complied. As I get to where he told me to be, I don't see the car; so I call. He tells me he had to go around and would be back in a few minutes. 20 minutes later a taxi pulls up. I explain "are you my Uber driver?" When tells me that he is, I mention that I am surprised because Uber competes with taxi's. He said that they have a contract. The first thing I see is that he puts the meter on. I think, well I am not going to save money on this ride, he has the meter on. I could have stayed downstairs and used one of the many taxis in line. Imagine my shock when we pull up in front of the hotel and my driver pulls out a little booklet and tells me that I WILL BE PAYING 50% ABOVE THE METER RATE OF $69.85! WTF!!!! IF YOU ARE IN CHICAGO, DO NOT USE UBER FOR A TAXI!!!!. I ask him why he did not tell me this information until the end of the trip when I HAD asked before we took off. He said that there is a difference between Uber and I should have used UberX. Well I go back onto my app AND I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING FOR UBER. ONLY UBER X OR UBER SUV or Black car or something. I find the UberX app is difficult to use and believe it is somewhat done on purpose. For example, after I got billed I learned that the default tip rate is 20% but I could change it. WHY CAN WE NOT ADD IT AT THE TIME OF THE DRIVE? I use my Starbucks app to pay for my coffee and tip my barista. They are a coffee company; UBER IS A SOFTWARE COMPANY AND THEY CAN'T ADD A TIP AT THE END OF THE RIDE!!! Also, try to find out how to change the default tip amount on the app. I cant find it. IS THAT ACCEPTABLE FOR A SOFTWARE COMPANY? I had to log onto my laptop and even then it was difficult to do. No help on the Uber site, had to go to Google and ask the question. I don't know if I will use the app again. I like the thought of the program but I think Uber, for being a software company can do much better to be transparent on their app and website. I always tip UNLESS I am not satisfied with the person giving the service. I should have a choice. read more

My husband and I had a package delivery. At the arrival time i waited out front as always. No driver. I start getting calls from but it was so garbled i couldnt hear word. I screamed into the phone that he was in the wrong place to no avail. I then tried calling him and got his voice mail. We spent all afternoon and evening tracking him down at which point he admitted he was in alley in the wrong place. Rather than deliver the next day he took it to Uber Lost and Found. We have had to send written descriptiobs of our package even tho the driver could have clearly tied it to us as the customer. Then they claim we are using the wrong email for the account which is untrue and we sent them written proof about that. It is now 4 days after the driver screwed up and Uber has gone silent with no mechanism online or by phone to reach anyone and it appears we may lose the 275$ item in our package. Terrible. Use at your own risk. read more

ZERO STARS. Uber Comfort (reserved ride to airport for ...you know...a FLIGHT) was a bust for our reserved 3am pickup.

And while we were driving to airport, we got an automated message at 3:15 saying reservation was cancelled. Nice. NOT RECOMMENDED. read more

My receipt from my Uber ride from O'Hare Airport to hotel 1-19-21 indicates the charge was $39.07. Yet my credit card statement (on line) indicates several additional Uber charges: $6.07 $5.00 $5.00 $3.00 $1.00 $5.86 Secondly: I was charged a $5 cancellation charge on 1-21-21. I placed the order for a 5:30 a.m. ride as I needed to be at O'Hare by 6:30 am. I could tell the request was "delivered" and "read" yet the driver never replied (didn't call me) nor let me know he was on the way. I could see on the Uber app that his car was NOT moving. I ABSOLUTELY HAD to make it to the airport on time to make my flight ($700 for 2 airline tickets). Cancelled the 1st request after almost a 45 minute wait and placed another Ride request which wasn't delivered nor was it read. By now I'm in panic mode. At 5:15 a.m. my daughter ordered for a ride using her phone. She was able to secure a ride for us (Uber) which arrived promptly and we made it to the airport on time. This is crap. I can't call Uber to file a complaint and unfortunately, I don't remember my username/PW. Uber wants me to subscribe to some service to talk to Uber on line live. BS!!! WTH? SERIOUSLLY? Uber sure makes it easy to place a ride order but they sure as hell don't want you to contact them to make a complaint! BS I'm done with Uber and I'm movin' on up to Lyft. Got any advise on Lyft? read more

The absolute WORST car service!!!!! This is the 3rd time they screwed me!! I learned to "reserve" a ride. More $$ but be assured someone will show up! Well guess what? Xmas nite reservation made one week earlier, "Edgar" accepted my ride at 11:15 and half hour before arrival he CANCELLED and I was left high and dry! They allow their drivers to accept rides for points and they can cancel for no reason with no penalties. Never again! U er is the WORST ever. Carol Dombrowski read more

I have used Uber for years. Recently I have reserved some rides in advance. One fee was $54 just to reserve in advance. This was almost 3 times the fare I paid for the actual ride.

Will definitely NOT be using Uber anymore. read more
