Cab Booking Complaint Date: June 24, 2017
Modified date: June 28, 2017
Over the past two days, I got two nasty surprises from Uber in Kolkata, India. Both the times, I booked cabs under their Uber Pass offer and both the times the fare shown was Rs 99. But after I got off, once the amount deducted was Rs 273.84 (on 20.6.17 for a journey from Garia to Jimmy's Kitchen) and the second time it was Rs 308.78 (on 22.6.17 for a journey from my Brahmapur home to One Auto at Kalikapur, a distance of 7.9 km). What disgusting service!

    Uber drivers refuse to take fare... by Barbara:

    (4 of 5)

    Twice Uber drivers refused to take fare after learning I was going from Newark NJ Airport to a suburb in New Jersey 20 minutes away. One driver pretended he was stuck in traffic and the other flat out refused to take me and told me it was because he would make more money taking another rider to NYC where he could take additional fares in the city after dropping the other fare off. They left me stranded late at night. Not impressed with Uber!

    I ordered a cab at 530 and the driver arrived at 620 as his gps wasn't working. The faulty navigation system took us in middle of nowhere and stated the journey ended. We were about 5-6km out of the way and then I had to change the destination which added extra time and kms to my journey. I reached the destination at 7:40 and was charged Rs 552 instead of 365. I have been trying to complaint but all they do is send me saved templates and assume that the query is resolved. I have had over 10 conversations via the app and all answers are utter bullshit. Moreover, the driver got given another job whilst he was still dropping me and was miles away from destination. The second job kept callin and distracting the driver who was putting my life at risk by talking to the next customer. Horrible service. I want a full refund

    25th July, evening, Uber showed trip in opposite direction of travel , much longer distance and then overcharged by more than 100%. And they are deaf to complaints. Standard parrot like response that we are right.

    Ola is far better and responsive.

    Overcharging by Uber on 2 occassions against displayed fare of my Uber app by Dr.Sudarsan Ray:

    (4 of 5)

    On Wednesday,26th July 2017 at 19:59 PM,I had booked an Uber cab from Metro Cash & Carry,on EM Byepass to my residence at Kakurgachhi. The upfront fare showed Rs 99 on my Uber app. The same fare was displayed on completion of the trip.However my PayTm wallet was charged Rs 187.25.I did not get any response from Customer care except pls write above this line(automated response it seemed). Yesterday I had booked another Uber cab from St no.176(near HIDCO bhavan,New Town) to my residence at Kakurgachhiat 18:21 PM. Here too the fare displayed at the beginning and end of the trip showed Rs 99. On completion of this trip(for which I had opted for cash payment),I was charged a whopping Rs 251.29(which the driver's app showed). I sent a mail immediately to Uber customer care. Pankaj replied on behalf of Uber and stated that I had changed my drop off destination and hence Uber had charged me Rs 251.29 correctly. He even marked it as RESOLVED. I had in both occasions,never changed the original destination where my permanent residence is located. These are fraud cases and should be penalised severely,

    Disgusting service by Shruti parmar:

    Since last 2 rides i am facing the same issue of ride receipt.i booked uber for rs 115 while reaching my destination it charged me rs 131 for no reason. I did ask my driver to take any particular route, since last time i got a mail from uber saying that i might have taken a long route. The uber service is getting disgusting and a price hike of no reason is being imposed on the customers.

    Overcharging without any reason by sharan rehal:

    (4 of 5)

    I was overcharged twice for no reason, but the driver said for cancellation of past rides. tillthe time i've joined Uber i never even for once cancelled the ride.
    The second issue is if there is any technical issue thats sayd i have cancelled a ride. Ohk atlrast u must be taking charges for 1 time. But next day i happened the same with me..really bad experience.. uninstalling ur app..and at last when i complained against my trips, no body replied bck not even for once. On the top these Uber delhi doesn't have complaint numbers too. Its ridiculous to keep writing them up for refunds and nobody helps you bck. Poor service.

    Overcharging and Security issue - Uber Cab by Madhumita Mitra:

    (4 of 5)

    I Madhumita Mitra is a regular Uber Customer and I was a satisfied customer untill an incident happened with me yesterday 30 Aug 2017

    My driver Mr.Jai with Maruti Wagon R came to pick me up from my destination. Usually I take a pool drive but as I got some promo off so was taking ubergo from past 2 days.

    As usual I took the trip from my office around 6:35 pm from IMS Noida Sector 62 to my home Gaur Ganga1 Appartments Vaishali and I am aware of the route which usually all uber driver take on my regular rides through GPRS But this driver initially took a different route seeing the trafic at NH24 from a very bad and unsafe area to which initially I stopped him but he said ma'am NH24 is few minutes away so I got busy with my official work on my phone.
    Suddenly when a toll came and the toll tax people asked him to give till tax to enter Delhi there I realised he took a different route.
    And my destination was left away back.What is this? Is this the way we call our self safe with Uber? He has not paid any toll tax there and took a uturn showing the toll tax people that he is going to Vaishali to which the toll tax people was not believing him and was saying u r lying as Vaishali is way behind. He was about to take his license but somehow on humanitarian grounds I supported him and asked him to take a UTurn. He took a Uturn but again took a route which was very unsafe. I told him to take from Anand Vihar which was nearby and was with less traffic but he took Gazipur which is an unsafe area and with heavy traffic.

    With verbal dispute finally I reached home and as he took a long route so the final bill came of Rs.358 but as my payment was of 67 so I asked him to take 67 only.he did not agree and took Rs.358 and when I reached home I saw he has not stopped my trip and to which I cancelled it from my end.

    And now I am seeing that I have a balance to be paid of Rs.200+ something when I am about to take my next trip.

    A. Being a female I felt unsafe yesterday as the driver took an entirely different route
    B. It is a harassment that despite of paying him the exact amount he has stated I have paid 67 only and moreover a balance is showing on my account
    C. From yesterday I am trying to state my problem through Help section from Uber app but no response.
    D. I am sure to save himself he must have given a different story but you should know the track record of a customer also.
    E. I WANT A STRICT ACTION TO BE TAKEN ON THAT DRIVER AND MY DUE AMOUNT SHOULD BE WAIVED OFF IMMEDIATELY.

    Regards
    Madhumita
