I’d take this in a heartbeat


MetrologyRookie

I actually accepted the request. But it was a drunk couple who wasn’t able to put their own home address. Got paid $20 instead. Lol


DolphinBearBTC

I wonder if Uber pre-authorized their credit card lol


kjjk56

![gif](giphy|Cj3Ce7e8h2EKY) Uber rn 😂 using those funds until they are refunded If Uber doesn’t get paid drivers don’t get paid. This happened when a women scammed me for a 12 hour ride and Uber went to the length of deleting the trip from my logs and support thinking I made it up even with screenshots of the trip in app lol


Justice-85

I'd buy them a plane ticket and give them my phone to complete the trip!


Alternative-Thing960

I’m sure they’re transporting something that they don’t want to take on a plane


combosandwich

Snakes?


UnconsciouslyMe1

Loch Ness monster


Pretend_Berry_7196

And then she said I need about tree fiddy. That when I knew it was that damn Loch Ness monster. I said get off my lawn you Loch Ness monster.


Skidd745

Well it was bout that time I noticed the Girl Scout was about 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era. I said DAMMIT monsta, get off my lawn!


[deleted]

Whoa Nessy


Resident-Impact1591

That's only tree fiddy ![gif](giphy|3o85xHi4t2UsuIY9QA)


Appropriate-Pop-8631

Tree- fiddyy!


FlavorHead954

No, pot.


Forward-Resort9246

No, 50lb of flour duh


leftover_class

Just a few home depot buckets full of rock salt.


california_voodoo

You can just take that on the plane. Especially in California.


MaximumCashout

Holy shit. Last time I took green on a plane 20 yrs ago, they arrested me, hauled me to jail, set my bail to 50k and they called the Feds. Then told me I'm looking at 5 years, minimum. Up to 15 years. Lost everything, but kept my freedom. ...and now you can just "bring the stash" right on the plane no issue? My God 😂


Blakeblood9

Im sure they never seen it before there!😂😂


OGPants

They tried to delete it?wild


WookMeUp

That sounds like something you could take Uber to court for and win easily.


Tokenguido22

They would, if it happened


Aesaito

Duely noted, if I ever get a dumb long ride I will screenshot the proof of ride 😑😒


tcby1216

Perhaps you're on another 12 hour trip and don't have time to respond?


Villian6

Give us closure dude, what happened?


Same_Ad_7379

So what happened


Klutzy_Attention2849

They made it up, ignored reddit and never went on the internet again.....


Playitsafe_0903

Not surprised Uber eats tried to tell me I didn’t hit a milestone even though I had screenshots of my trips and orders


jlet

So did you ever get paid for the 12 hour drive or did Uber screw you?


maacsavage

“A women”


BannockBnok

I'd assume Uber would just put an authorization on the card and then capture the funds later. Why capture when there's a risk of the rider just cancelling, resulting in a refund? If it's only an authorization, no money would have left the account; it'd only be reserved for the expected capture presumably done when the trip is completed.


ButtBlock

That’s like when an airline in Myanmar tried to charge me in dollars for something denominated in Burmese kyat. My card immediately declined the 280k USD charge.


SodaMelm

the honest mistake of them thinking you wanted to buy the plane


Humanity_stinks

I wonder how many times they get away with that......there's a huge difference.......


Sufficient-Fall-5870

Unless you have an Amex Black, I would say never.


KIsForHorse

Even then, they’d probably block the transaction and confirm with you first.


akbornheathen

I would have probably cried after realizing they didn’t want to go across the country. Thats like 2 months pay in a week.


Severe_Network_4492

In a week !?! this would take me 3 days tops I drove from Anaheim to Austin in under a day you could dead head there in 1.2 days and sleep then deadhead back


glizzyman100

Anaheim to Austin? Jeez I usually go east to west not north to south, but under a day. You fast, really fast.


Notabizarreusername

Anaheim to Austin would be west to east, not a whole lot of north south travel in that trip.


Jaded_Pomegranate125

I drove from the state of Connecticut to Utah in under two days. Lmaoo. I’d take this in a heart beat and be home before the weekend lmaooo


UrbanJatt

I had a similar one like this as well. Got a trip going six hours away on a surge so I quickly filled up on gas and got there only to find out they're going 20 mins away lol.


Anonality5447

The utter letdown must have been crushing.


karmaleeta

i was going to say - looks like maybe they accidentally added “beach” to the end of their city name, and uber assumed they were going on a cross country road trip.


gippered

should’ve just driven to the requested location anyway


bennyllama

Crazy it’s like a 1+ day drive. You would have absolutely needed to stop to rest for the evening. You could have had a slumber party!


Confident-Shallot-69

Not with some meth you’re good


Disastrous_Courage74

That’s funny


ccache

Shouldn't have told them, soon as they said "wait what? florida?", should've said oh just kidding but what's your address again? My app is glitching out. Dropped them off, hopped on an airplane to florida so they have the tracking data, and hope they don't question how fast you got there!


Jae_Amp

Pfft, noob. Don't take a plane, take GreyHound! The speed is more akin to driving there😂

bleszt

Me too. The trip would pay for itself five times over--- at least.


CarobJumpy6993

My uber vehicle is a Chevy Colorado 2.8 diesel. I have a 30 gallon aftermarket tank on it so it gets 1200 miles.


subarustartrek

This is on another level


ButtIsItArt

I drove from my house in NEPA to Washington state and back in my Corolla and it was like 750 bucks in gas, absolutely I'd take this trip


NormativeNomad

I thought they maxed out at like $500? But yea, I’m up for an adventure


Alexander_Devil

I don't know the actual max, but they definitely go more than 500. I live on the American side of Lake Erie. Had a driver tell me about a ride he did from our town to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. He earned about $1,100 off that trip because of an extra fee for the driver needing to have a passport on them.


PensionNational249

People will literally pay $1100 to cross the border if it means they don't have to take a bus


AliBelle1

That's just what the driver got paid, the passenger must've paid a good bit more for Uber to get their cut.


KillerDemonic83

i live in buffalo/niagara falls area. You could literally get an uber and walk across the border if you wanted to people are just lazy sometimes lol


PuzzleheadedFox1100

He lied to you


TedwardScrotumhands

I love road trips! I took a 3 hour ride from Iowa to Illinois. Lady didn’t say one word to me the whole way.paid out under $150 and after fuel I made less than $75. She tipped me a massive $5. The only thing that made it worth it was the drive home. Pulled a guy out of the ditch and changed his tire for him and he gave me $100. Shitty part is just as I was finishing up, state trooper pulls up and gave him a ticket. Trooper had no issues with me but I still felt bad for the guy. He was just having a bad day and apparently can’t drive for shit. This was in the middle of summer. I always try to stop and help people out the best I can. I drive an avalanche and alway have my tow straps and log chains with me.


loathe4all

Failure to maintain control. Cop didn't need to get involved after a good Samaritan has solved the problem. Gov just wants to get their cut. Good on you though!


Dazzling_Wafer8923

It’s $300. I took a guy to Reno from the Bay Area. Picked up his girl friend from the airport and went straight back. The fare was exactly $300. Meaning I maxed out, and they just kept everything else. Then the guy tipped me $300 in cash. It was a good 6 hours round trip.


kushari

Nope. It’s not.


Anonality5447

Glad you got to benefit more than Uber still.


rcayca

I would accept thinking it was for a Mr. Beast video


suciothegreat

Exactly


King_Catfish

Unfortunately he already did this. So you'd probably get a shitty copy cat YouTuber.


LuXx1200

What different does it make to you lmao


harmonicfrieght

Id take adderall and crack that out


_BLACKHAWKS_88

Hah, are you me? I’d bring my whole script. Me and the pax can take turns..


Markn12

thats what Tesla FSD is for lol


rosapink771

🤣🤣😭


C92203605

No one here is questioning the 25% service fee and multiplier surge? This an old pic OP?


Glittering-Night-204

I thought the same thing about service fee, then multiplier. Heck, in my area they do not even show Surge dollar amounts anymore lol. Bc they screwing ppl outta that too now


akistarz

Rider pays $20,000+ for the ride…


CompetitiveAnswer674

Could probably rent a private jet for that price lol


NotMyRegName

Had to look it up "Small private plane (4-6 passengers): $1,300 - $3,000" But they must not want to fly (In my fantasy about this, LoL)


DFrostedWangsAccount

Consider that's also not for a cross country flight. Those are planes that do smaller trips normally, you're looking to either pay more for a bigger plane or spend some time (and extra money?) landing and refueling along the way. Figure probably 1000 to 1500 miles range on the smaller planes so you'd need at least a couple refueling stops.


BioSafetyLevel0

This ^


MehCFI

I fly those small private jets- that price is lower end but realistic, but it’s also only the cost per hour. This would easily be a 4-6 hour trip. Many companies would charge the cost for relocating the plane to/from starting points as well


mysteryteam

Probably have that straight as an arrow path too


TeleGod69

This is accurate, Ive asked many drivers how much theyre getting paid and its about 1/3 of how much I spend


elves2732

What happens when your daily 12 hour driving time is up?


JustCallMeMambo

they don’t boot you until you finish your last trip


elves2732

So you just keep the app running even when you stop at a hotel to sleep and the trip stays active the whole time?


JustCallMeMambo

the app thinks you’re in a hostage situation if you stop anywhere too long, so you gotta tell it “i’m fine, mother 🙄”


_BLACKHAWKS_88

lol it actually spams both the driver and passenger.. heck it even starts calling.


Glittering-Night-204

How do you do that when your sleeping?


mattied971

There's a sensor they tap into your brain


logicloop

It's a collaboration between Uber and and Fleshlight. They made their own Neurolink type device only this time you're the one getting fucked.


EmergencySpare

Send location brotha


AthiestMessiah

Usually people accept the longest job they can within the last hour cause then you can go way above the limit


_BLACKHAWKS_88

This is why I stop whenever possible. If you don’t move it don’t count. Driving on coffee break mode does tho.. 😒


Captcha_droid

Longest ride I took was from West Philadelphia to Beverly Hills. At the end of the ride he told me “yo Holmes smell ya later”. Not worth it.


Salty_Ad7414

Took me a minute but I got the reference


TillyDevineStudio

While I like the reference, Will actually flew first class from Philly to LA. He thought the limo driver holding a sign with his name on it was a cop, so he hid and hailed a cab that took him from LAX to Bel Air. 😂 You have to listen to the whole song, not just the truncated version from the show. 😜


NotMyRegName

Sheesh. Ya got in one lil fight!?


ARunawayTrain

Wait I gotta know, beforehand were you shooting some b-ball outside of the school when a couple of guys who were up to no good started marking trouble in your neighborhood?


will_im_not94

Santa Rosa going to Santa Rosa in a different state…. Has to be a mistake


BendyBrains

I don’t know why this is so low. 100% this is what happened. Drunk people failing at technology while trying to call an Uber is so much more likely than someone deciding this is how they want to make their cross country trip.


MadCatDisease666

and they were apparently drunk; imagine passing out in *that* uber 😹


ChemicalOk463

Time to pack my bags!


[deleted]

A friend of mine had a trip like this once, not quite as far. The passenger had gotten a call that his mom was dying and he couldn't fly due to a health issue. He and my friend and the guy's girlfriend all switched off driving straight through, just stopped for restroom/coffee and fast food. The guy paid for his hotel room for a few days and then paid him cash to drive back home after his mom had passed away and they made arrangements for her to be cremated. It was really crazy, but the guy was really appreciative that he made it possible for him to be with his mom. They're still good friends after that.


Sensitive_Aardvark68

Cancels halfway, gives you one star and you lose the money.


Ok_Blackberry_3680

Santa Rosa to Santa Rosa Beach. Obviously a typo.


One_Guard_4467

Hahah. That’s awesome.


thecrazymr

Uber says max pay = $400 so if something lime this pops up I would not risk taking and then not even getting enough to cover gas. If a trip says it pays over what Uber says their max pay is what do you think you would get after completing it? I am sure they have the lawyers to keep you from seeing the listed payment. Never trust them.


Gloomy_Recording_705

Accept offer buy you and rider a plane ticket boom $7k in 5hrs 😂😂😂


Sad-Bluejay-2785

Had a guy pass out on the trip. When I got to his destination I woke him up and he said he didn't live there anymore. So I took him back. Got like $90 or so.


Sea-Classroom-4426

I’ll take it no questions


NotoriousMush29

Even if it was real Uber probably only paying half of what they charging the customer


Commercial-Elk-3031

Yeah . It's b. s most of the case .


Green_Budget_7

The destination sounds similar to where they’re getting picked up from. Most likely it’s a mistake.


Glittering-Night-204

Id wanna know who and why it is that they want to do that long of a trip? Sounds to me maybe like they would be carrying drugs and can't go through an airport. Something isn't right about that LOL


horoboronerd

I'd do it and Tow my car back for $1000


Rut19751

They will cancel the ride 1 hour before you get to the destination


eatajerk-pal

Never anything even close. It’s not the wrong price, but I have to wonder why anyone would pay that much when airplanes exist at a fraction of the cost.


tht1guyfromtht1place

Felons


trollinnoobs

Maybe someone moving a large amount of drugs


suciothegreat

Some people are deathly afraid of flying


Kayki7

Who TF would pay upwards of $10,000 when they can get a flight for a fraction of that?


Slavic-PussyEater69

A drug trafficker lol


Lopsided-Vegetable44

Yes, not THAT crazy, but it was an accident. Picked up a woman that wanted to go to this bar Home Sweet Home but she accidentally picked “Home” instead. I was in Richmond, VA and it said we were going to NYC.


Pinky_In_Stinky

B we going on a road trip I got the snacks.


Silvadoor

This is wild AF 🤣 A payout of full time job on Uber 60 hours a week for about 12 weeks. Of course it's a drunk rider.


Solo-ish

Best I’ve done is San Francisco to Houston 15 years ago. Would have finished the last hour drive but fell asleep at a gas station. Almost made the 2k+ mile trip in one chunk but damn that was the best sleep. This passengers better be good with sleeping in the car while I drive or im stopping in the middle of New Mexico and cancelling trip on them where there are no drivers or shit


crnknstn

0/5 stars the food arrived cold


zen6541

Heard about a trip involving 3-4 states back east. Football player missed a late night commercial flight and was trying to get to football camp the next morning- would be let go if he didn't make it. Uber driver got him there on time- 1k tip.


Hector_lpm5

Rider payed 93,728.32 for this ride


KillaNola

Yeah, the drunk people put in the wrong address. It wanted goto from New Orleans to Los Angeles 😂 I did click accept. I knew the place that had a similar name was a few miles away.


PotatoReasonable9656

That's a nice 24 hour drive. You got this!


Uidbiw

This is fake, uber doesn't pay over 50c/mile anymore


Rush_Under

WA State says you're incorrect, as I earn 1.31/mile currently.


Shanoinsano123

Hard pass I'm getting sleepy just looking at this


ElegantCrew8807

I learned I would take this if I saw it since it's twice what could be made a month of driving full time 😁


edmovius3

Had something similar Cali to NY but cancelled lol


Candoran

2-3 week road trip for 8K?


kjjk56

Typo


MediocreBag1195

I got LA to Portland once. It went for about 1,700$.


1_for_you_2_for_me

Take it. Then buy a plane ticket back for both you and your car.


ghostboicash

This would be rad as hell if it really happened


Surfstylesoccer1

I’m almost positive that route will go through a building or two. Do it.


Zombified_Apple

Mr beast did this. That driver stayed up the whole time.


tht1guyfromtht1place

I guess you just keep the app on while you sleep lol get up and start driving again


tht1guyfromtht1place

2 day drive would be kind of awkward, the amount of naps, farts , shit stops and dinners


RuinVIXI

In a heartbeat.


NotMyRegName

I have dreams about this, LoL! I would take that in a heart beat. Some wealthy excentric. Damn sure wouldn't be through uber, either. Get some temp insurance for this trip and a pay as ya go, plan. Hell yea.


Several-Eagle4141

Like, what do you do for sleep?


IdealIdeas

Im pretty sure a small handful of youtubers have done this


SpecialistMenu5650

What road is that lol it not that straight


fuckredditintheear

Had one like this pop up once. Idaho to Florida. Accepted it and showed up to the pickup. Asked pax if we were really going to Florida. She almost broke down crying after I showed her. She was only going across town to a street with the same name as a city in Florida.


[deleted]

I’ve found that long trips like 1-4 hours are usually bought by sketchy people that can’t get a flight because they have warrants. And can’t go buy and register a vehicle because, again, they have warrants. It’s a huge risk to take a long trip knowing that there’s a 50/50 chance you’re gonna pull up to someone that wants to take advantage of you. It happened to me, so it can happen to you!


solarsense

"I am sorry but the passenger claimed you were under the influence and we cannot pay you for this trip."


authoridad

Would take 47 hours in my EV but almost all of them free chargers. LFG. ![gif](giphy|xdKi4fkIO1YRy|downsized)


Incog83

Eh... I'd be suspicious. I've been watching too many episodes of locked up abroad. All I can think of is someone using you as a chauffeur to do a deal or something. Why Uber when planes are cheaper and faster?


Bazzuki

Photoshop skills are stellar


flortny

It's against DOT law to drive more than 16hrs, so if you don't stop after 16, you are liable for accidents, insurance will not cover you


TopExperience3424

I wish I knew what t road that is that goes straight across the country


[deleted]

Yeah but it was a mistake that we all laughed about when I picked them up. I wasn’t going to drive them that far, but assumed it was a mistake. If it hadn’t been I would have just canceled and suggested they take a plane.


Lost-Priority9826

Yeah but is it non-stop?


OuterInnerMonologue

Who’s down for a drug run? For 7k where’s the sign up?


BackseatSushi

In 2020 I had a driver charge me for a $1,000+ ride from SF to LA that I never took (we actually went like 8 miles in the Bay Area). Pretty sure he got banned from driving because of this stunt. But it took nearly 3 months to get Uber’s attention about it.


ReadMyUsernameKThx

as somebody who has driven this distance multiple times - this is the deal of a lifetime. the trip kind of sucks in the sense that it's like 3 days of driving all day. but in another sense, you are getting paid minimum $7200 for 6 days of work.... so that's pretty lit.


planefan001

I think Mr Beast did an Uber trip from North Carolina to California a while back. Tipped the driver well and gave him gas money for the trip back.


Odd-Cat-89

Let me gas up the jet now and go get that


RopeAccomplished2728

Hell, a week or a week and a half travel time going round trip. I would take it in a heartbeat. Even with getting an oil change and a tire rotation afterwards plus any expenses, I'll still be up nearly 5000 - 5500(depending on a lot of factors).


sim3345

Maybe the real money we made, was the friends we got along the way?


HideSolidSnake

So when you have to stop to rest for night, who covers the hotel room(s)?


[deleted]

Obviously a mistake when they’re both same city same in different states lol. But if real. Hell yeah I’d do this in a heart beat. This would take me 3-4 days


asokarch

Driver gets $200 and uber gets $7000

yesterdaywins2

Imagine a drunk person getting in thinking they'll be on a 15 min ride home and pass out for a few hours


NecessaryTrack7972

Hahhhahha wtf? That's a four day journey driving straight through, (I've done it a few times). Anyways, were only allowed to drive 12 hrs max at a time. What do you do when you need your 6 hour break? Omg, stopping at rest stops to sleep for 6 hours for 4 days with a pax would be something else, if not rough.


joelito1990

I take it I will accept this trip without thinking.


Minute-Complex-2055

Wild. Probably one of the jan 6th bozos.


devpsaux

I accepted a ride that was from Tennessee to Florida once. Pick up was from the entertainment district so I figured they just punched in address wrong. They did indeed select the “Sheridan Light Rail Station” in Florida instead of the “Sheraton” hotel. It was before Uber told you the destination though but it did pop up a long trip notice before I accepted.


Movielover718

The driver will get $80 for the trip loll


OneSh0tSemi

Yes. I had a lot of coke in my ass as a pack mule and the Cartel demanded I make the delivery fast when I had no transportation.


Ok_Unit1673

What’s the likely hood of yall pickin up some binches out on the road


blazingStarfire

I've had similar mileage offered but not up front market. They have been mistakes by people who had moved to the area recently.


FoodIntrepid2281

I would do it easily but uh I hope pax is splitting the hotel costs or something lol that’s a beast of a drive to try to do straight LA - Denver kills me tbh


asmnomorr

I once saw a trip from Fullerton ca to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was a few years ago I can’t remember the pay but I remember it was huge. I don’t even think that drive is possible (no route on google maps) not that I would drive thru South America anyway but damn that money would have been nice.


angelsarepresent111

You'd have to pay off a few cartels too. I think they add that fee in automatically.


Standard-Strike-4132

But then……. Would it cost that much for you to get yourself back?


Available-Current777

That's insane! I would need to do some premaintenance on my car though. But, maybe.


Warpedlogic31

If I was single, I’d definitely take it. Alas, I’m married now with a kid so I couldn’t. Would be a sweet payday though!


iceamn1685

Yeah, that person 100% put in the wrong address in. I've seen something like this before which is funny because you shouldn't even be able to do this. Even if this was a legit trip, the app would automatically kick you off after you eclipse the twelve hour marker of drivetime and god knows where you would be when that happened


Blakefilk

10k for 4 days driving? Fucking send it
