Of the state capitals, Hobart had the best rating with 4.85, whilst Sydney was marginally ahead of Melbourne and Brisbane.

Uber released their end of year rider ratings, with the Gold Coast in Queensland ranked number one.

The harbour city's riders had an average rating of 4.83, just above the national average of 4.82, with Brisbane and Melbourne stuck on 4.80.

Perth and Adelaide were down at the bottom of the list with the worst rider rating, with both states also found at the bottom of the rankings released today.

The Northern Territory topped this list, with New South Wales slipping from first to third.

The rating system on Uber is two-way, with both riders and drivers able to give ratings for each other.

It is based off of the last 500 trips a rider has taken, meaning it can change quickly.

Passengers with a lower rating may find it harder to get a ride accepted by a driver.

Both drivers and riders are required to follow Uber's community guidelines, which include following the law, treating drivers and passengers with respect, and keeping safety front of mind at all times.
