Yes! And no, you don’t need to bribe drivers with candy (though it probably helps). Every ride you take updates your rating. To boost your score, be on time, say hello, don’t slam the door, and maybe skip eating a whole bag of chips in the back.
Drivers also love when you’re ready at the pickup spot—like actually ready, not still brushing your teeth. It’s the little things, you know?

What About 5.00 Stars?
If you’ve got a perfect 5.00, congratulations—you’re basically the unicorn of passengers. But don’t stress if you’re at 4.99; that just means one driver gave you a 4 instead of a 5 for something tiny, like breathing too loud. It’s fine.
Uber actually gives you a tiny buffer. Your rating is an average of your last 500 rides, so one grumpy driver won’t ruin your week. You have to really mess up to tank it—like, argue with the driver about pineapple on pizza levels of messing up.
