How we rate ride share services

Our review compares ride share services on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which ride share service they think is best!



Canstar surveyed 1,125 Australians for their feedback on the ride share service(s) they’ve used in the last six months.
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their ride share service(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Value for money:The fare charged was reasonable relative to the distance travelled and the quality of the ride received.
  • Customer service: The driver was courteous and professional, and any issues (e.g. fare disputes, lost items, complaints) were resolved effectively through support.
  • App experience: Booking a ride, tracking the vehicle, managing payment and getting help within the app is simple and efficient.
  • Reliability / timing: The vehicle arrived at the expected pickup point and time, and estimated arrival times were accurate.
  • Cleanliness / quality of vehicle: The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, comfortable and in good condition.
  • Availability of vehicle: A ride could be booked quickly when needed, with short wait times and availability across times of day and locations.
  • Deals / discounts: Availability of promotions, referral credits, loyalty rewards or other special offers.



The winner is the brand Aussies rate highest for the things that matter most to customers, based on overall satisfaction. To see how we crunch the numbers, check out our methodology page.
