My CPA recommends me people all the time...realtors, lawyers, financial advisors...I'm not stupid, i realize they probably have a mutual networking agreement where they are sending him clients and he recommends his people to them. As long as they are good at what they do, i could care less.
In the case of Uber...it might be less obvious that there is an arrangement, but as long as they are recommending a quality place who cares. Caveat emptor. Its not difficult to look up the drivers suggestion on a smart phone real quick, or make your plans in advance so you don't need to ask for a suggestion.

So what happens when a medeocre business offers drivers a bigger kickback than a truly remarkable business that offers a smaller (or no) kickback? A cab driver is not someone you have had a long term business relationship like you have with your CPA. In fact it pretty sure bet that driver will never see you again. How can trust that driver is acting in YOUR best interest and not his own?
Don't know about others but my recommendations are not for sale.
