Newcastle has been crowned the best-mannered metro city in Australia for a second year in a row by Uber riders.
While the Northern Territory snatched the title of the best overall state, beating NSW and QLD with an average rating of 4.84, Newcastle remains on top of the metro city list with an average rating of 4.89.
The average Australian rider rating for 2023 stands at 4.82 out of 5 stars, which maintains the same high standard as the previous year.
The ratings have become a playful way to gauge someone’s personality.
In recent years, Uber rider ratings have captured the attention of Australian culture, adding a touch of amusement to dating conversations and office banter.

HOW TO FIND YOUR UBER RIDER RATING
So how do you stack up? Here’s how you find your Uber Rider Rating on the Uber app.
- In the settings menu tap privacy and then Privacy Centre
- In the Privacy Centre, swipe to the right and click on the “would you like to see a summary of how you use Uber” tile
- Scroll down to the “browse your data” section and tap on “View my ratings” to see the breakdown
- In addition to viewing your ratings, users can also review their past trip information, payment details, control marketing preferences and more in the Privacy Centre.
If you got a shock at your number, it’s worth noting that your rating is based on your last 500 trips, so there’s always an opportunity to enhance it. While driver-partners usually rate riders at the end of each trip, they are not obligated to do so.
