A question about Uber

>>1576491
You need your license and driving that much can be hard so the experience is actually helpful. Uber also pays far less than you think and the hours that pay well are odd. Your pay will fluctuate like crazy and if anything happens to your car, you are incapable of making money while it's in for repairs. If you don't already have a car, the loans they offer are outright predatory since banks won't touch it. I drove for them and Lyft over the summer and only made a decent profit from getting rides at the airport, late at night on the weekend, late at night during holidays, and after big sporting events or concerts. Which sounds like it might pay well, but those hours can be rough if you are juggling other things. Near the end of it I was earning $10 an hour at best in San Diego, CA. And to top it all off, Uber would be taking a larger percent from you than me because I had been with them longer so your profits could very well be worse

I signed up a month ago few things you should know

> signing up after Jan 1 2016, uber takes 25%
>need to either pay or go to a green zone, for inspection (no cracks in windshield at all)

I put in my new DL that i got 6 months Ago. They've emailed asking for my old DL that I've had for 3 years, never sent.

You have to live in a big city and crappy hours if you want to make money.

I average 8-12 bucks an hour if I can get rides. Most I've ever made was 22$ an hour but that's from airports trips and stuff.

It's alright for me because I want work 3 hours on weekdays, do a few hours on the weekend in a bigger city, San Jose.

Ask anymore questions senpai

Thank you both for the responses, on average how many hours a week do you work? I've talked to some drivers in my are(there are very few) and they mostly seem to happy because there are almost no drivers in our medium sized city and quite a few faires because there are several colleges scattered around. And even at around $10 an hour after repairs i would still probably make more than my current job overall

>Make gorillions in uber
>Spend it all back repairing your car

good system

It's really random hours. It all depends on rides sometimes Its only get short rides but every now and then I drive 60miles plus+.

I usually work 5-10 on the weekdays and bring in about 40 bucks a night

Weekends I go to San Jose and either 12-8 or 5-12. Depends on if it's a busy weekend or if I do the airports can get around 200-300 on the weekends.

It's not really great for a real job but as a student needing extra spending money it's a decent gig that is easier then most jobs i could get.

I knew a friend that would work Saturday Sunday in San Jose. Worked from like 12 to 3 the morning both days.
He would sleep in car or friends place, shower at a gym. Only got like 6 hours of sleep befor going back to uber.

He said after gas he would get anywhere from 500-800$


If you have anymore questions please ask.

Even small cities can be decent if there colleges or bars near by. You'd be surprise how many people have DUI"s or want to get drunk in my town.

Also what I do is run app while I'm at home, with my wifi plugged in charging. So data is not wasted. Just be ready to go
