Maintaining a High Rating
A practical system for keeping your rating stable: smooth driving, the passenger rating filter, pickup timing, comfort, and trip-end routines.
Why it matters
Your rating is an algorithm, and algorithms can be understood. Below 4.85 you lose premium trips; below 4.60 you're one bad week from a hard conversation.
Your rating can slide for reasons the platform never explains clearly.
Most drivers notice a rating problem only after it has already damaged their profile. This guide turns rating maintenance into a checklist: smooth driving, the passenger rating filter most drivers ignore, vehicle comfort, pickup positioning, and how the platform's algorithm removes anomalous ratings — plus when to request a manual review.
What's inside
- Why smooth driving beats any tip or amenity
- The passenger rating filter most drivers ignore
- How the platform removes anomalous ratings and when to request a manual review
- Real situations that protect more than the rating
Who it's for
Every driver, especially anyone stuck below 4.85.
