I think alot are leaving, as am I for part time, I noticed that demand is up, and it's been surging alot more lately, received a 30 dollar surge on a short ride and the customer cancelled twice bc I got it again lol and it wasn't a busy time or place it was 10:15 am on a Thursday when normally no surge and it went from 18 to 30 I have made almost 100$ surge out of 285 so in Cleveland area drivers must be getting verified for fakes or leaving

When up front pricing started i just waited out the BS trips and my acceptance rate went from 70 percent down to 25, but still make the same money i just don't grab the tiny trips, if you let them cycle thru and nobody accepts them the price goes up quick to get a driver to take them.

Remember you should always be checking with your passenger before leaving to see how much Uber is charging them. I took a ride one time from San Jose to San Francisco. Rider was charged $120. Uber paid me 30 bucks. Fthat. That was the point that changed me and I started asking. Especially on long trips.

In 2024, if you drive Uber in Dallas, and make $1500 a week, I tell you that you are extremely very very lucky, there are times in a day I make as little as $90. I know of a guy who left his regular job for Uber full time when he saw he was making almost $300 a day, but now the guy is looking for a job badly because his Uber income has dropped by 60%

Used to be able to make $1,200-$1,500 driving 3 days (~25-30 hours) a week. 10-12 hours Friday night, 10-12 hours Saturday night, & 4-6 hours Sunday evening. Now, driving those same shifts is at max $700-$800 (on-app). Maybe a couple hundred more if it's a holiday weekend or some major event is in town. Currently, weekday day driving absolutely sucks donkey balls. (Tampa Bay, FL market)

People need to have ”feet on the curb”. How do they not know that? When they hold you up by five minutes, not only are these the people that do not tip but they’re also keeping you from making money by sitting there not making any money while you’re up and awake to be out there… It’s not just not giving you a tip. It’s taking money away from you. How do these people not know that??? There are truly some people that think that because there is a waiting fee, it means you are being paid to wait and so they don’t think anything of it but obviously the wait time pay is nothing…

There’s a way to take screenshots without using two hands. On an iPhone: Toggle on Assistive Touch Add “Screenshot” if it doesn’t default OR Assign “Screenshot” to the double tap section for the Assistive Touch function. This will place a disc on your phone. The opacity can be adjusted. The location of the disc can be moved to a less obtrusive location. I hope this helps!

Totally agree with you GeeWee. When a rider gets in my car and says it looks really clean and smells good I could do that trip without saying another word to them and still get 5 stars. All because the car is clean, smells good and I'm a reasonably safe driver. Also riders like it when you use your turn signals for every turn or lane change as it gives them a heads up on if you are going the right way to their destination.

I bet if you accept every ride that comes in you’ll make over $2000. If I’m online I’m accepting every ride unless it’s in the hood or the person has a terrible rating. Which is maybe 2-5 rides a day at most

If you're trying to make money by driving Uber, it's only a matter of time until you find out what everyone else knows. You do not even make minimum wage. You're on the hook for the car, fuel, insurance, repairs, depreciation, and god forbid you get sued and then lose your home. It would be more profitable to work at a restaurant. Sad but true.

Upfront fares cut my airport rides by 25% to 40%. That was the last straw. I made biz cards and took UBER reservations every morning to LAX 60 mile ride for me and would try to flip em private for the return trip with great success. Or I would sit on my couch and set a DF filter to LAX and wait for that 1 ride from my neighborhood to LAX and flip em. I went from $25 an hr on UBER to $50 to $100 an hr now private. I hit $400 a day at least 3 days a week now. I charge $3 a mile. So no matter what I make $1.50 a mile if I don't get any return trips on UBER. 1k miles= minimum $1.5k.

Uber and lyft isnt the problem. Its the drivers. Everytime you decline a ride the ride is sent to another deiver at a higher pay out. In other words if your not getting what you want for that ride its cause you excepted the ride to early. The total amount lyft and uber are charging the pax is around $2.°° per mile.
