UK's highest rated Uber driver is 73-year-old man who does 200 jobs a week

The UK's highest-rated Uber driver has revealed his secrets to success after completing more than 67,000 trips. After seven-and-a-half years working for Uber around Manchester, Michael Quinn, 73, has received the most five-star ratings of any driver across the UK.

One recent trip saw dedicated Michael drive a university student who had suffered a suspected heart attack to hospital when it emerged an ambulance would take 45 minutes. Michael, who received an Uber Hero Award on November 1, says the secret to his success is simply getting customers to their destination "as soon as possible and as comfortably as possible".

Michael, who claimed the title ahead of more than 85,000 Uber drivers across Great Britain, says that he enjoys being able to "enhance" a stranger's day.
