Includes all completed trips (Uber Black, Uber Black SUV, UberX, UberXL, etc.) Canceled rides do not affect your rating
Higher-rated trips boost your score
Since your rating is an average of your most recent 500 trips, consistently earning 5-star ratings will help improve your overall score. The more high-rated trips you complete, the more your rating will increase.
How Your Uber Black Rating Works
Your driver rating reflects your performance over your last 500 completed trips and updates automatically as you complete more rides. For strategies to improve your rating, review the Uber Black Driver Guide for expert advice.
Regaining Uber Black Access If your rating drops below 4.85, you’ll have an opportunity to requalify. After every 50 trips, we’ll reassess your eligibility based on your most recent 500 trips. If your average rating meets or exceeds 4.85, you’ll regain access to Uber Black trips.
Consistently delivering great service helps maintain your rating and Uber Black eligibility.
