The UK’s highest-rated Uber driver, who at more than 67,000 trips has also completed the most rides country-wide, has said the secret to his success is simply getting customers to their destination “as soon as possible and as comfortably as possible”.
After seven-and-a-half years working for Uber in and around Manchester, Michael Quinn, 73, has received the most five-star ratings of any driver across the UK and even completed one recent trip where he rushed a university student who had suffered a suspected heart attack to hospital when it emerged an ambulance would take 45 minutes. On November 1, Michael received an Uber Hero Award at a ceremony in London in recognition of his achievements, which he described as “a very proud time in my life”.
Michael, who claimed the title ahead of more than 85,000 Uber drivers across Great Britain, said he has been labelled “the best driver” in Manchester by passengers and said he enjoys being able to “enhance” a stranger’s day.
