Uber for extra income?

Also its only $250 down when a normal lease is 2k down. You can also cancel anytime after 30 days and they just keep the $250 you put down as a cancellation fee

good luck with your new taxi driver job.

>>1304745
Im taking online classes this summer so when im not working my other job i can do this in my free time

>>1304750
yea but your still a taxi driver. i got over it in less than a week.

>>1304759
I guess so. Are you in a high volume area?

>>1304730
i thought there would be a good amount of /biz/raelis who drive for uber to supplement their income?

>>1304761
Yup

I've been considering this as a way to supplement my income while I pursue my pipe dream. What are you likely to make per hour in a high volume area?

>>1304776
Its was for Lyft about 3 years ago. Around $200-$300 for about 6 hours of work. I don't think any of these companies pay that much anymore.

>>1304775
what city?

>>1304776
in my area (orange county) ive heard an average of 25/hour but it depends on what times you drive. weekend nights are definitely the best to drive especially around 2am when the bars close. the more populated the more youll make. LA and NY are the best to be uber drivers in terms of pay

>>1304792
holy shit thats good. I was thinking of driving between 20-30 hours a week and even an average of 15/hour would really help me out. If i did average 25/hour or 50/hour in your case I would consider quitting my job even though i really do enjoy it (im a valet at a country club and i like cars)

Hmmm, sounds like I could probably hit my basic expenses just driving full time two weeks a month. Probably worth it.

i was thinking the lease program would be even better since youre not putting miles on your own car and it pays for itself as long as youre driving at least a full day a week. Even if i had a 4 door car i dont think id use it because of all the miles and then maintenance on it

sf

Guys, i fucking hated it. You. are. a. taxi. driver. And there is no way you make that much anymore.

>>1304816
I'm not looking to make a career of it, or even do it long term. I don't mind driving for hours at a time, even in big city traffic, and I like talking with strangers. I just need something to keep me stable that will let me work flexible hours.

>>1304812
I don't actually know anything about the program. Do you pick up the car from their lot or something?

>>1304816
just because you didnt like it doesnt mean other people wont. I wouldnt mind driving 20-30 hours a week talking to random strangers and reading in my downtime. also like >>1304822 said its just to supplement income not make a career

>>1304822
look it up. they call it uber xchange. i havent yet still waiting on background check but once its cleared i have to find the care i want from their approved list at dealership. it can be new or pre owned. I plan on getting a new civic. I know a prius would be the best choice but i couldnt subject myself to such embarassment
