A joke
Last night I used a taxi to take myself home. Suddenly the driver crashed with insane speed into the rear of another car. After that he turned to me and said: "Evaluate the trip as 5 stars, please"I'll rewrite this in a way that's more typical for a Brit to say it.
'Last night I got a taxi to take me home. Suddenly the driver crashed with insane speed into the back of the car in front. After that he turned round to me, and said: 'Rate the trip as 5 stars, please?'.
The rear isn't incorrect, but in British English it's usually just the back of the car, but in US english I think that's perfectly fine. We usually get a cab, or get a taxi, rather than use them. We of course are using them, but the common way of expressing that is 'getting a ride'.
Nothing is incorrect though, I've just tried to give you how it might be said similarly to how it is in the UK, and to an extent the US.

Elsa, you can rate every trip when you use "Yandex taxi". It is something like "Uber". 5 stars is the best mark.
Driver's rating depends of it so that he asked 5 stars mark.

I don't understand the joke, but the English is good! Rate instead of evaluate would be more natural though.
