Because even if the driver cancels it still costs you $5. and I encourage people to report drivers even if they end up taking the dog if they have to argue with said driver first.

I personally know of a couple cases where the driver has been flat out let go from Uber for not taking a guidedog.

Can anyone verify this? On a few occasions, here in Los Angeles, I've have had to report A driver refusing to take me with my dog. Fortunately, I tend to get many more accommodating drivers than those who aren't. Of course, not allowing a person with a dog guide in and Uber vehicle is totally unacceptable!

They can be the most polite agent in the world, but that doesn't solve the actual issue and I for one would want a lot more if I, for example, stood somewhere in the middle of the winter at minus 30 and then a driver showed up and refused to take me. > > -----Original Message----- > From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On > Behalf Of Jeremy Gilley > Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2017 4:29 PM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: RE: Uber app experience getting increasingly bad > > Hello, > I have always contacted uber support directly through the app. > I have always been contacted with 24-48 hours with the issues of me reporting service animal issues. > Service animal issues I mean leader dogs, seeing eye dog issues, guide issues, what ever school you come from. > Personally, they are all the same with different titles lol stating I > was denied a ride. > Always, always always always have I been contacted by an american > person from CA. > They have always been super polite, and have refunded my account with > any charges that have been applied. > > -----Original Message----- > From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On > Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel > Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2017 1:27 PM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: RE: Uber app experience getting increasingly bad > > I could not find out anything as to where Uber customer service > centres or call centres might be located by doing a Google search. Shaf, maybe you should for once provide actual information in the form of links instead of just hinting that something is not factual and saying otherwise. > > I would, however, be curious as to what number people called if people have called. I did find an article which outlined various ways to contact Uber and that article stated clearly that there is no such thing as an actual customer service number which let's you speak with a live customer service agent. They mentioned a hot line for critical incidents and emergencies, but all other help apparently needs to be requested via the website or the app. > Apparently at one point Uber had the email supp...@uber.com where one could send an email with a question or concern, but it says in the article that as of December 2016 (a few months ago) this email is no longer valid and generates an auto response saying so. The article also said that there at one point was a live chat feature which is also no longer available. For those interested, here is a link to that article: > > http://www.idrivewithuber.com/help/contact-uber-support/ > > I did just for the fun of it send an email to supp...@uber.com, just > put subject "Guide Dogs" and asked if Uber had a policy which would make sure a driver can't refuse me because I have a guide dog.
