If you're the type of person who hates getting stuck with a chatty Uber driver, then the ride-sharing start-up is finally offering an option that should allow you to enjoy your next ride in peace.upgrades to its premium service, Uber Black, including one that allows riders to ask for a silent driver., is only available for Uber Black rides, which can cost two to three times as much as an UberX ride.
If you're willing to spring for Uber Black, you can set your ride preference in the Uber mobile app. Once you confirm your destination and select an Uber Black or Uber Black SUV — services that offer riders trips in, like a BMW 5-Series or Cadillac Escalade — under the preference for "conversation," you can select either "quiet preferred," "happy to chat" or state no preference.
If you select "quiet preferred," Uber Black drivers know that you're not looking to engage in conversation for the duration of your trip. And if your driver doesn't get the memo,that Uber Black riders will also get access to "premium phone support with live agents" should you feel the need to call the company to tell them your preferences are not being honored mid-trip.
