When I've reported Uber drivers, I usually get a response either the same day or the next. I wish there were a number you could call at that moment. I have had denials which I have always reported. But one day I had two drivers deny me in a row and ended up being late for a doctor's appointment because I ended up taking the bus. It can get really old and frustrating after awhile. The other issue I see is that these drivers so far as I know use their own vehicles.

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!
