Can you share the most terrifying Uber and Lyft passengers' ride horror stories?

One horror story is when a passenger got into an Uber and the driver started driving erratically, running red lights. The passenger was terrified and had to demand the driver stop immediately. Another is where a Lyft passenger found the driver was smoking inside the vehicle which made the ride very uncomfortable.

There have been instances where the driver was under the influence. A passenger got into a car and immediately smelled alcohol on the driver. The driver's driving was erratic, swerving and not following traffic rules. This is extremely dangerous and a real horror story for anyone using these services.

I heard of a case where an Uber driver drove way too fast. The passenger was constantly worried about getting into an accident. It was a really nerve - wracking experience just sitting in the car.

Sure. There was a Lyft driver who had a passenger try to steal his phone while he was driving. The driver had to quickly pull over and deal with the situation. Another is a driver who picked up a drunk passenger who threw up all over the car and then refused to pay for the cleaning fee.

One scary story is about a rider who got into an Uber and the driver took a really strange, dark route. It was through an abandoned area and the rider was terrified. Another is when a Lyft driver started acting erratically and talking to himself. The rider felt very unsafe. And there was also a case where a rider's Uber driver seemed to be following another car in a very aggressive way.

One horror story could be a driver getting into an accident while driving a passenger. Another might be a rider being harassed by the driver. There could also be cases where the vehicle breaks down in a really bad area.

Some passengers have reported that the driver took a really strange and long detour. It seemed like the driver was either lost or had some other motives. The passenger ended up paying a much higher fare than expected and also felt very uneasy during the whole process.

Some Lyft and Uber horror stories include situations where the GPS fails. For example, an Uber driver followed the GPS directions which led them to a really bad neighborhood in the middle of the night. The passenger was terrified. Also, there have been incidents where the driver cancelled at the last minute when the passenger was in a hurry, leaving them stranded. There was also a case where a Lyft driver's car had a lot of mechanical problems during the ride, like the brakes making strange noises, which made the passenger fear for their safety.

Well, one important thing is to make sure the car and the driver match what is shown on the app. If not, don't get in. During the ride, pay attention to the route. If the driver goes off - route without a good reason, question it. And always keep your phone handy in case you need to call for help. Another safety measure is to sit in the back seat so you have more distance from the driver if something goes wrong.

I don't really have any sexy Uber or Lyft stories myself. But I've heard of some interesting encounters. For example, a couple who got engaged during an Uber ride. The driver noticed the guy was really nervous and when he finally popped the question, the driver congratulated them and even played some romantic music. It was a really sweet moment that happened within the context of an Uber ride.
