The one benefit I miss is the one wheere I got "highly rated drivers." Now I'm getting matched with drivers in the low 4s, and in my experience, most drivers who have a rating below 4.7 deserve it.

Not sure if Uber One is worth it, but if I get the highly rated drivers and priority airport pickup, I'd certainly consider it.

It really depends on your area. In my area, Lyft is almost always more expensive than Uber and/or a longer wait. It may be that more people are using it? Either way, I will go with whichever one is closer or lower priced depending on my needs at the time. Soon I may be switching to all-Uber since Lyft decided to rip me off.
