It’s official: Uber is driving yellow cabs out of NYC.

In the past four months, 10 percent of the city’s 50,000 hack drivers have defected to the app-based car service, The Post reported last month — bringing the total number of Uber drivers in NYC to 10,000.

And New Yorkers are hopping on board. Rather than stand exposed on street corners, “hundreds of thousands” of city slickers are opting to call up a car with the push of a button, according to an Uber spokesperson.

But the biggest draw of all may be the drivers — and the fact that you can rate them. Ratings are given on a scale of 1 to 5 after a ride, and you can select a chauffeur based on their score when ordering a pickup.

So who are the ones most recommended by picky New Yorkers?

We’ve rounded up the city’s four highest-rated — call them the Uberest of Ubers — to see who’s racing to the top.

Adam Cosentino

Rating: 4.7

Age: 43

Home base: The Bronx

Car: Black Chrysler 300

Interior: Leather

Amenities: USB port for phone chargers, iPhone charging cable, rear cup holders

Uber driver for: Over two years

Previous job: “I was driving for officials at Yeshiva University.”

Personal motto: “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” Cosentino prides himself on his “immaculate” car, which he gets shampooed once a month. It even still boasts that new car smell.

Favorite neighborhood: Upper East Side. “The demographics — age, income, education — are better there. The people have more disposable income, which means better rides.”

Least favorite neighborhood: Midtown. “It is the epicenter of the worst place of all of Manhattan.”

What you won’t get in a yellow cab: As a lifelong New Yorker, Cosentino has NYC bona fides, and shares his knowledge with passengers — from where to eat dinner to a definitive ranking of NYC museums. “My knowledge of the city even impressed a professional tour guide,” he says.

Weirdest passenger moment: “I had a girl throw up in my car, and I felt bad for her. I went to the car wash and spent $75 to have the whole thing scrubbed down.”

How he spent his summer: Shuttling the 1 percent to the Hamptons. “You work all day Friday, bring a change of clothes and hang out at the beach on Saturday, then at nighttime you go out and work.”

Astrological sign: Aquarius, with Leo rising. “The dreamer with his head in the clouds who can’t find his car keys. I’ve lost multiple keys.”

Future career goals: Systems analyst or risk mitigation. “I’m getting my MBA in management information systems.”

Most memorable ride: “I drove Lauren Hutton. She was telling me about some of the charity work she’s doing. I found her to be fascinating.”

Phulbas Arjune

Rating: 4.82

Age: 40s

Home base: Jamaica Estates, Queens

Car: Dark gray 2014 Toyota Camry

Interior: Leather

Amenities: Satellite radio, rear cup holders, USB port for phone chargers, charging cables for iPhone 4, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy

Uber driver since: March

How she got interested in Uber: Laid off as an administrative office manager at a hospital in 2008, Arjune went back to school to become a certified laser technician. “I started driving a yellow cab to supplement my income, and the passengers were telling me that many people don’t use cabs anymore — they only use Uber.”

What makes her stand out: Arjune has good bedside manner. “With my background in health care and patient care, I’m comforting and a great listener. I enjoy interacting with my passengers.”

Favorite neighborhood: East Village. “Everybody is so nice over there. They’re young and tech-savvy.”

Least favorite neighborhood: Times Square. “It’s so jammed … you can’t get to them and they cancel on you and waste your time, and that becomes very frustrating.”

What to expect: Music that you actually enjoy. “I invite people to plug their phones into my radio and they sing along to their music — and I join in with them!”

Dream celebrity passenger: Oprah. “I would tell her she helped me in a lot of hard times in my life. I love her.”

Weirdest passenger moment: “I’ve had people start kissing and carrying on in the back seat. I just leave them alone, I play the music.”

What her passengers say: “Sweetest woman in the world. She’s like a life guru,” wrote an anonymous passenger in her rider feedback form.

Fredy Tello

Rating: 4.75

Age: 44

Home base: Woodhaven, Queens

Car: Black 2013 Toyota Avalon and black 2013 Toyota Sienna

Interior: Leather

Amenities: Handicapped-accessible van; car equipped with Wi-Fi; AC and USB ports; charging cables for iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and Android; Poland Spring water bottles; Life Savers mints and front-facing toddler car seat

Uber driver for: Two years

How he turned Uber into a career: After serving 22 years in the Marines, Tello began working with Uber part-time. He now also owns his own car service, SempeRide.

Favorite neighborhood: Williamsburg. “The people are artsy, cool, laidback, intellectual. It makes for great conversation.”

How he connects with passengers: “I try to be personal. If they’re carrying a bunch of shopping bags, I help them get in and ask how the shopping went. It’s the attention to detail that matters the most.”

Longest drive: “Labor Day weekend I picked up a guy in Montauk who had just been dumped by his girlfriend, and I had to drive him back to New Jersey. I even let him smoke a cigarette during the trip, that’s how sad he was.”

Weirdest passenger moment: “An intoxicated female customer tried to kiss me — it was very awkward.”

What makes him stand out: Tello applies the lessons he learned in the military — leadership skills, time management, punctuality, politeness — to his new career with Uber. “Even when no one is watching, you should still operate with integrity.”

Why he offers amenities: “People in New York are always on the go … they can keep working while I drive.”

What his passengers say: “Absolute gentleman. Highly recommend,” an anonymous passenger wrote in his evaluation.

Samantha Cole

Rating: 4.68

Age: 22

Home base: Mount Vernon, NY

Car: Black 2008 Chevrolet Suburban

Interior: Leather

Amenities: Seats seven passengers, rear cup holders

Uber driver since: July 2013

Favorite topic of conversation: “The first thing customers notice is the Jamaican flag in my car. My parents are Jamaican. I was born here, but I love my little island!”

She loves to talk: “Unlike yellow cabs, we don’t have that divider … so I love to talk with everyone. I love getting recommendations on places to eat.”

Favorite neighborhood: Meatpacking District. “I love the people, they’re always dressed up and having a good time.”

Least favorite neighborhood: Financial District. “There’s a lot of little alleyways, little roads, and it’s so hard to learn them. I know drivers who have been doing this for years and still don’t know it.”

She’s up-to-date on pop culture: Cole loves to defend her girl Rihanna to Beyoncé-loving customers: “I really love Beyoncé, don’t get me wrong, but Rihanna is a badass!”

Relationship status: Single. “The men are weird. That’s why I don’t like working nights, sometimes. It’s like they’re shocked, ‘Wow, you’re a female driver and you’re pretty!’ ”

Future career goals: Own a party bus. “This is New York. People love going out for birthdays; there’s always a wedding, always a Sweet 16, and people love booking party buses.”

What her passengers say: Cole’s best compliment came from a customer who told her to pursue her party bus passion. “He was encouraging me, and it really motivated me to keep going.”

How to get a high passenger rating

In the Uber world, passengers are also rated — by their drivers. After each trip, passengers are scored on a scale of 1 to 5.

Here, the top drivers offer their tips on how to cruise your way to a high rating.

1. Let your driver know if you’re running late. A wait means drivers are missing out on other paying customers.

2. Be honest with your driver, even if it means asking for quiet time when needed.

3. Don’t be “nasty, obnoxious or threatening,” says Uber driver Adam Cosentino.

4. Don’t engage in hazardous behavior, including fighting.

5. Be polite on your way out.
