$150: This is the maximum amount of money you can get when your request for an uber cleaning fee is approved. Usually, this sum is provided to you in cases of vomit, urine, blood or other bodily fluids that are spread on the inside of your car.
$100: You will get this money in cases of small bodily fluid mess. If the client has stained some surfaces that are hard to clean, most probably you will be reimbursed with $100, too.
$50: The most common situation for this sum is vomit on the outside of your car. Other issues that are smaller or on easy-cleaning surfaces will also be compensated with this amount of money.
$25: This sum has been recently introduced, and it is usually provided for small, ordinary types of mess, such as food.
So They do reimburse you but you have take before and after pictures.
I might check this out, i have nothing to do this weekend.

Your sister is a braver woman than I am.

It's interesting to see the reimbursement that uber gives for clean up. The fact that they need to even have that suggests that it must happen pretty often to drivers. It's one thing to be driving a taxi cab and have someone hurl in the backseat. It's another thing when it's your personal vehicle. Even with a thorough cleaning, it takes a while to get that smell out (not to mention the germs that might be hanging around in the air).

I use Uber a lot and almost always spend the ride talking to the drivers. There are definitely two classes: those who work the late nite shift in the entertainment areas and those who refuse. Seems mostly a personal preference though it's my impression very few women drivers work the late shift. In addition to vomiting, another risk is that the passenger becomes unconscious. Heard a funny story where a driver thought he was picking up three women late at night, then two of them proceeded to place their unconscious friend in the back seat and head back into the bar. Drunks are generally more difficult to deal with as well.

That said, I think Uber is a boon in reducing drunk driving. In Austin (where drinking and driving is a real issue), when Uber/Lyft pulled out, drunk driving went up. I suspect there's an opportunity to develop some sort of vomit-proof cover for back seats, kinda like slip covers.

IPA please. Stone IPA is my go too beer at home, if I want something really strong then I pick up a 6 pack of Green Flash's West Coast IPA or Alpine Brewery Double IPA, but those tend to be about $15 dlls a six pack.

I think I've tried about 60% of every beer SD has to offer, if we go to a different brewery, my go to is always the local IPA.

Me likes HOPS!
