Is The Uber Car Rental Program 2024 Worth it? | Weekly Cost | Pros + Cons

[@nayecole]

UPDATE: driving for Uber using the rental program has definitely helped me when I need extra cash and catch up on bills!! When I don’t need the car, I just turn it in and get a new one when I want to drive again. I still prefer to drive in the mornings and on weekends. If you’re looking for a flexible side hustle and/or in need of a car “quick fix” I still recommend!! Use this link to get a bonus when signing up. I just invited you to earn with Uber. Earn at least $1,750 for your first 180 passenger trips in 30 days. drivers.uber.com/i/t9ssese87sf4

This option is good only if you are a full time Uber driver like me, I drive 10 hours a day 5 days a week and I make anywhere between $300-$350 daily in New Jersey, but if you are a part time driver then renting a car for Uber is not worth it.

Is there a rule about using the uber car for other delivery programs? I'm trying to find that answer

[@robnox]

I got started with rideshare 7 years ago with the rental program. I think it's a great option if you want to try rideshare but don't have a vehicle. It can also be fun because you get to drive a lot of different vehicles. However, from a financial perspective it absolutely does not make sense to keep renting if you plan to do it for a longer period of time -- those rental fees add up, in my case I was spending $16000 a year on rental fees. Also, the car insurance that comes with the rental is pretty bad (with a $1500-$2500 deductible). For many drivers, they are just one accident away from financial ruin.

[@veronicadavis9922]

So true! Someone hit me while I was renting with Lyft and I may have to pay the $1000 deductible even tho the damage is not worth half that. Then I have to wait until the other woman's insurance reimburse me.

[@kevinmccarthy9105]

One of the benefits I do see is that the entire cost of the rental would be deductible on your taxes. So factoring in the no cost for maintenance and this deduction it might not be as financially detrimental.

[@branchtana315]

If you want an easy no worries car to drive, this is a great way to do it. Obviously it's a big weekly expense against your earnings. I'm mechanically inclined, so I've gone the route of buying older upscale brand cars and driving them for 6-12 months. I can always find a clean and presentable BMW/Mercedes/Audi e.t.c for $4k-$5k. Of course you need the money up front, but for me it's much cheaper longterm.

7 years driving my car for Uber. I'm in 1st week of using Tesla3 rental as an experiment. I'm driving the same number of hours as my ICE (25 hrs). $382/week including taxes and fees in Silicon Valley. So far I have had to charge each day at $20 (5 days). So far that's $482 in expenses and 2.5 hours of charging at Superchargers for $575 revenue. For Sat/Sun I expect to grab another $500 revenue and another $100 charging fees along with 2 more hrs of charging. So, $1075 revenue with $682 in expenses leaves me with just under $400 net while wasting 4.5 hours idle time while charging. To make approx $1600/month net while paying about the same $1600/month for rental doesn't make sense unless i drive closer to 40 hrs vs 25/wk...which I won't do. I do get many Green rides but no XL with rental so I actually think I'm losing out on those sweet long XL and the $$$. Without completing one full week, my opinion is dont rent unless you drive minimum of 40 hrs/wk. If I were to rent this for one year, I would have paid fees half the price of brand new Tesla3.

It seems Uber is definitely better than Lyft when renting according to Nayecole. I rented Lyft and there’s a 20 ride minimum plus before you receive any of your earnings Lyft deducts until the weekly rental fee is accumulated. I can’t begin to explain how mentally and psychologically difficult that is to feel as though you’re working for free basically until you reach the ride quota and rental fee while you’re burning and having to buy fuel. So the Uber rental definitely seems to be best. I caution any of you to stay clear of the Lyft express drive rental program.

That’s crazy lol I’m going through a situation with those folks. Yeah please stay away from Lyft express.

I live in Fresno CA. I’ve been driving for Uber 3 months. I have an electric vehicle through them that costs 350 weekly. I charge for free here in Fresno. I refuse to drive full time. That defeats the purpose of quitting FT, and without benefits I’m not giving anyone that much time. I may as well go back to work. What makes it worth it? Access to a car. I don’t own one, and having one is better than not. However I drive about 10 rides a day. That’s part time. Most of my driving is to pay for the car. 😢 Now in San Francisco (I live 2.5 hours away) I can make the fee giving 20-26 rides in a day (10-12 hrs). In Fresno it takes 2-3 days. Driving 2 days in SF can earn the fee and earn me 350-400. That’s better than the 150-200 in Fresno. I lose free charging access though and have to drive far.

It’s a bit expensive over 1900 a month with rental and gas costs you will need to drive 8-10-12 hours a day in order to at least make $700-800 to pay for your life with.. it’s a bit of a uneasy feeling knowing your one accident away to financial demise. The deductible with that will doom you! Another thing you have to give a minimum of 30 Uber rides a week to keep it through Uber. Also if you get sick and cannot drive you will have to give up the car😢 which is another huge concern so it is a hustle that you can get into bit for the long term if this is your sole source of income can be heavy on the brain.

[@Raphalou]

Should i select pay as you go, or set the mileage when renting from Uber?

[@mdegauss]

For Hertz its a lot more expensive than whats in the app. Like for Telsa 3 It says 350 or something but then if you want to get the full insurance(which you should or your out money if you pop a tire or somebody hits and runs you which happened to me like 5 times it pays its self off). Its 500 a week plus electrical cost/gas if you got a gas car and they make you pay 200-300 deposit that is part of the first weeks pay. so you end up paying a lot more for the first week usually. If you can rent a car for under 350 with insurance it makes sense during the winter time during the summer time when its slow just try to buy a car.

@@nayecole thank you I seen it right after I posted it 😂😂 I'm definitely looking into Lyft once I get a car 🤞🏽💯

Great video! As far as gas card, there are a lot of free gas rewards programs out there. Shell, definitely offers it. BP, Exxon, circle k, speedway.

Why your Uber app screen doesn’t look like mine? I don’t know how can I set up the screen looks like yours😥

[@Dank951]

Do you need to pay upfront for the Uber rental? I've read that Lyft takes 60% of what you earn for the rides and pays it back into the rental before you earn what you earn. Is this the same with Uber? Thank you for proving a clear and concise video! :)

[@nayecole]

I heard that about Lyft too! With uber, the payment comes directly out of your bank account. The money you make while driving is yours to withdraw whenever.

[@CS-dg4dn]

Yes.

[@MissLadyJay28]

Hey girl! I’m trying to rent a car through Avis and they told me that the extra insurance doesn’t cover me when I’m off the clock. I do live in NY so maybe the rules are different for every state; but did they ever disclose that to you when you rented the car for Uber?

[@nayecole]

They didn’t tell me that! They told me that’s what it was for. Not sure if policy changes state to state or if they were tryna make an extra $ out of me

[@MissLadyJay28]

@@nayecole thanks for responding hon! ✨ I’m definitely going to call and ask them again to make sure because that’s crazy! If I’m spending $300 a week on a rental I want to be able to use it for my own personal use as well!

[@plainvanillaguy]

Once you rented the car, was it difficult to figure out how the uber system works?

[@nayecole]

No it was very easy. You just go in the app, turn on drive mode and go!

[@seawallbreeze9616]

HI there is it still worth renting ? I've seen so many complaints lately with Uber/Lyft and low pay

[@antwonallen6735]

Thank you for making this video.

[@Created2InspireU]

Thank you for all the info! Is it possible to use the vehicle for other gigs like Instacart, doordash, not necessarily 💯Uber and still make your weekly payments? Like Does the source matter?

[@nayecole]

It depends on the app! Some ask for proof of vehicle registration. I personally did not Try too. The payment comes directly from your bank account so if the money is there. They are taking it

[@Created2InspireU]

ok. Thanks for taking the time to respond.@@nayecole

[@alejandro19898]

Do you have to rent it every week or once rent its automatically ?

[@CPmzhandsome]

Is it better to get an EV or standard mid sized car at a cheaper weekly price when renting for Uber?

[@ricardolamarque5681]

The background music is very distracting and annoying. Other than that, excellent video. Very informative. Thank you!

[@nayecole]

Ok, thanks

[@November_SINs]

Dope & informative!!

[@Leorgo]

Whats stopping people from using this option to get a rental for cheap (for the week)? Like do you have to complete a set number of rides? Since its a rental, can you use it for personal other than working?

[@ReinaJohnsontransformed]

In Fresno it requires 30 rides minimum weekly. I have to give about 35 rides to make the 350 fee. I drive part time so it takes about 2.5 days. After that I need real motivation to drive for myself. But in my city I can charge the electric vehicle for free.

[@criesoftly]

@@ReinaJohnsontransformeddoes doing ubereats count towards those 30 weekly trips requirement?

[@honorebelro]

Thank you for sharing! Did you ever try an electric car?

[@nayecole]

Not yet!

[@honorebelro]

@@nayecole maybe part 2? 🤞🏾

[@rogerl19]

Damn I’m sorry. Renting weekly is ridiculously predatory. Avoid at all costs please. $356 a week comes to $18,500 a year. A quick search found a 2020 Kona AWD with 20K miles for $18,000. Let’s call it $20K for fees and interest. Insurance maybe $1.5K/year. After 2 years, you would have paid $37,000 to rent. Versus $20,000 to buy used + $3K for two yeas of insurance. And if you sell that Kona after 2 years, you can get $14,000 (2018 Kona with 100K miles). If you want to sell quick, you could take $10,000 for it. TL;DR. Rent for 2 years $37K. Buy used with insurance $23K with $10-14K in residual value. That’s over $24K difference you’re paying to Avis over 2 years!

[@ShaSwizzMusic]

This was very informative

[@maxamillion2140]

I bought my 2015 Honda Civic with 40k miles for 7k in 2020. The insurance is about $80 a month. Now it has 145k miles on it, this year i've averaged around 60,000 miles, which is close to a 40k tax deduction with the per mile write off which goes into the negative against the car, so you can't do that with a rental. Just write off what you paid for the rental. I also can use my car for Uber and Lyft both. So I don't think a rental can compete, unless you decide to do one for like a week or two and plan on driving 12-14 hours a day everyday and don't want to kill your car.

[@blove5683]

Yeah no one is looking to rent to drive for Uber for 2yrs. That’s the point. This is really for people who have the energy and time. That’s it. This is a get in get out situation. I done see so many stories in person on how this can help and change a person’s financial situation. So yeah on paper it sounds “right” but once again everyone situation is different

[@Rain-ec4jj]

Hello, were you able to pay for rental car weekly as Uber driver? I'm worry that I might not make enough money to pay the lease weekly

[@plainvanillaguy]

Does all of your driving have to be with uber in order to rent their cars or can you also work for other services?

[@nayecole]

That’s a great question! I’m honestly not sure. I didn’t try

[@SharSpecials]

Cya cover ya ass!😂😂😂 thank you for the insurance tips friend 💜💜💜

[@destiniefisher9451]

Hey quick question, is there a 30 trip minimum you have to do in order to keep the rental? Or is it like as long as the cost of the car is covered for the week, it doesn’t matter?

[@nayecole]

It doesn’t matter!

[@elijahdunmore7526]

GREAT MESSAGE YOU EXPLAIN THAT VERY VERY WELL NOW I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN RENTING A CAR FOR UBER THANK YOU FOR SHARING GOOD JOB 👍🏾👍🏾❤️

Glad it was helpful!

[@shaynakiya7129]

Do you have to have a credit card to rent or can it be a debit card?

[@ScissorVixens]

Nice review although the cost of gas is something you have to deal with regardless if it's your own car or a rental. ;)

Yea, this price is pretty much exactly what I paid for the past month. Just moved back to the country and didn’t have a car yet. I had to go with an electric because that’s all they had. EVs are terrible for Uber… I ended up spending 7-10 hours a week charging the vehicle and it’s not even that cheap! During regular business hours it was like 30 to “fill it up.” I was spending over 500 a week for charging/car rental. I really cannot understand how people driving 40-50 hours claim this “makes perfect sense….” HOW??? The car costs you like 2 grand a month?! Cool, you made 350 a day… how much did you keep? I guess if you have literally no other options then fine…. Maybe it’s better than buying a car and running it into the ground. But the truth is you’re essentially an indentured servant.

[@heavens_.beautycollection701]

Do I have to do a set amount of orders to keep the car ???

[@Allinmyworld]

So you paid the $355 upfront (Plus the deposit but you didn't need to pay) when you picked up the car?

[@garyjohnson4575]
