    but I don’t see Uber being at any sort of fault here unless their policy is no animals

    If it is about a neccessary service dog, then it’s not up to them (or their policy) to decide. At least, it shouldn’t be.

        No, it isn’t. The ADA is very clear in this.

        Oh, and once you start using your vehicle for business purposes, especially transporting people for money, it’s no longer a “personal vehicle”.

        But it’s up to the driver whether to allow

        No. Doing public transport as a business means, it is public now and it must not be up to the driver’s mood anymore (within reasonable boundaries that should be defined by some law).
