Is uber legit? How do you make sure you get paid? How do you make sure the person picking you up doesn't kidnap you?

It seems pretty sketchy.

also you can turn around and present your rear end to them so you gently caress you and they dont have to rape you, and you get where you want

Zipcar is cool because they dont hide the GPS/GMRS transceiver very well.

Zipcar is also cool because you have a bunch of people using the same car.

A downside is they put stupid god drat stickers on some of their cars.

I like zipcar.

i use zipcar. my complaint is when the selfish driver before me literally leaves EXACTLY 1/4 tank, thus forcing me to refill on my own time.

I love uber and I take it whenever I go downtown for some serious drinking. Yes, getting raped by the driver is annoying but you can reduce the amount of tip if he's too rough.

See I thought the big problem with uber was basically that the driver is taking a huge loving risk. If he has an accident and god forbid he hurts his passengers and/or other drivers, he is hosed. Like nailed to the wall hosed forever for all that poo poo since his insurance isn't going to cover him operating his vehicle as a commercial transport.

Do uber drivers actually bother to get the right insurance or are they really that loving stupid to take that massive loving risk?

Driving for uber is already a losing proposition unless your parents pay for all of your car related expenses. They can probably barely afford the personal insurance. People that drive for uber are children that aren't capable of working a real job and don't want to be told what to do by a boss.

ok well then do dumb rear end upper-middle class mommy and daddy get the right insurance?

Does uber actually help out their drivers if they aren't at fault?

Need a legal dude to break down how hosed an uber driver is if they crash so next time I'm drunk in NYC I can harang my driver with scary stories so he gets a real job.
