How to Rate Your Ride Fairly
Good ratings help great hosts thrive — here's how to rate honestly and helpfully.
Your rating shapes the community
5 stars means
- On time (within 5 minutes).
- Clean, comfortable vehicle.
- Safe driving.
- Friendly but respectful.
3 stars means
- Late by 10+ minutes.
- Car was untidy.
- Driving was uncomfortable but not dangerous.
- No major issues, but wouldn't ride again.
1–2 stars means
- Serious safety concern.
- Rude or inappropriate behaviour.
- Very late or no-show (as host).
- Always accompany low ratings with a written explanation.
Written reviews help most
"Always on time, clean car, great AC" is more useful than just 5 stars.
