It always pays to be on your best behaviour when using Uber to get around so that it’s easier to get a ride in the future.
Uber launched in the UK in London in 2012.
Since then, the app has been used by passengers from more than 130 countries, with in excess of 28 million trips made to or from UK airports.
The app-based company uses a five-star rating system for drivers and passengers alike with one being the worst and five being the best.
It allows users to see the reputation of a driver/passenger before accepting each job/journey.
The cumulative rating is displayed next to your name in the app and the higher your rating, the more likely drivers are to give you a lift.
Now, for the first time the ride hailing app company is allowing users to see a breakdown of how many five, four, three, two and one star ratings they have.
How to see your Uber rating
To see your ratings broken down head to the uber website where you will be asked to provide your email and password.
A verification code will then be sent to your mobile, once you enter the code it will display your listings.
Drivers can also see their ratings from passengers.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
