The process for determining whether a driver is willing to transport a pet is asinine. Just add something to the app so the passenger can indicate that they have a pet, whether it is in a carrier, its approximate size, etc. and let the driver decide whether to take the job.
These services are already borderline questionable given all of the problems and the increased prices now that they aren't trying to put taxis out of business. The moment one must deal with someone at the company to beg for a refund or deal with any of the other problems the equation becomes pretty one-sided.
- pyrophane 3y agoI believe Uber has a separate category of ride for this. Uber Pets or some such thing. It will only match drivers who are okay with having pets in their car.
- Jagerbizzle 3y agoYes and we use this service all the time when we bring our 35lb golden doodle with us. I’d way rather wait an extra 10 minutes up front instead of getting into a 5 minute discussion with the driver about how we won’t be putting our dog in the trunk.

- dang 3y agoCould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
