When a partner-driver makes a rider’s day

We want to make sure that riders have plenty of chances to tell you how you made a positive impact on their day.

One way this is done is through the Compliments feature. It gives riders another chance to tell you what they enjoyed about the trip if they rated it five stars.

Riders can choose from 9 Compliment badges. These include options such as Made me Laugh and Clean and Tidy.  If you receive a Compliment from a rider, you’ll see it on your homescreen. You’ll be able to keep track of the Compliments you receive on your dashboard. This will help you to understand what riders most enjoy when they ride with you.

We’ve looked through the best feedback from riders who told us their driver Made My Day to share it with you. Read through these Compliments for drivers – you might find inspiration for your next trip.
