When reaching my destination, the Uber-driver said: "Give me 5 stars and I'll give you 5 stars". I questioned that practice and said I will give my rating in due time. The driver got upset and started to rant about how I never would be able to request an Uber again because he would give me a 1-star rating if I didn't rated him 5 at once...

I think for the good of the system you agree to swap 5 but really do 1.

Ratings only work if the bad guys get dinged.

And then tell Uber why you left a 1 Star when it asks. Why more people don’t report bad drivers, I don’t know.
The driver can ask to show your screen when giving the rating.
I believe uber supports revising ratings so you could show a five and take it away later.
Usually in that situation, you both show your phones, to show you're doing it.
