How to Maintain a good driver rating

One idea would be to put bottles of water and a bowl of candy in the vehicle for the customers.  If they are thirsty or need a mint for any reason this will allow them to refresh themselves while on the ride to their destination.  When you accommodate the customer they will give you a good report and make your driver rating go up, which is very important.  If you have a very low driver rating, they will no longer allow you to drive for them, so it is very important to keep your driver rating at a good standing.
