In my situation, I was rock button and I really didn't have anything back in 2016. I couldn't find a job, I was sending a million applications and no luck whatsoever. My number one goal in my life was to get my education and 4 years later I was able to achieve no only my bachelors but also my masters information systems that I received July this year. We all know that Uber and Lyft is a rip off but base on the situation that I was involved, I was able to get back on my feet. I am forever grateful.

[@TheRideshareHustle]

That is awesome my friend! Thank you fro sharing. Would you be willing to share your story on a video? I'm woking on a special project and I want people to know this about Uber and Lyft. it was a similar situation for me.

[@Iambriangregory]

I think your attitude Luis Riba is wonderful. More people should have you appreciation you go back 10 years before Uber was a concept in anybody's mind what alternative to all these people have that are complaining about driving for Uber NOTHING! So they should be very happy that they have a vehicle no pun intended to have a casual coming in on a day by day week by week basis to tide one over until things get better instead of bellyaching about a situation that they voluntarily put themselves in. Now that doesn't mean Uber's hands are clean I think the biggest crime they did was lowering their rates from what they paid driver originally which is a ethical error to draw somebody into a business deal at a certain rate and to change it and make it lower is almost criminal but as long as a person hasn't invested in buying a new vehicle it's really no loss because you can get out anytime unless you missed out on a job opportunity then you didn't have when you joined Uber. There really is no job like it that you can pick your own hours and go on vacation when you want it's just a generation of whiners that is existing in the world today. Misery loves company and I won't accept their invitation!

[@kennethhorton8390]

It feels like a complete waste of time waiting for requests for two hours straight and I get nothing. However, every single day that I start “Ubering,” I seem to get a request within three minutes of being online but after I complete that delivery, I’ll be waiting for two whole hours before I get another request. I’m literally wasting my time and am thinking about making a civil case. It seems like this might be a “rigged” system already. I have noticed that the payout my look worth it but if you really look into the delivery and look into the miles, it really is not worth it. For example, going eight miles for a single delivery worth $10.50. Then I’ll sit in the middle of a restaurant hub for minutes upon minutes waiting for requests but actually won’t receive any requests unless I move about a mile away from the restaurant hub. (Restaurant hub: Sit in restaurants, fast food restaurants, bars, etc.). I expect to get feedback from this or I will be taking action a step further. Yea, thanks.

After part-time driving Uber NY suburbs on my 2018 Civic EX-T, I figured out the best times to drive. I only pick up within 2 miles of my correct locations. I’m averaging 33.3 mpg which is great. The only bummer is I can’t pick up anyone in NYC so if I have to drop off anyone in Manhattan or other NYC boroughs, I have to drive back to the suburbs to pick up new passengers. I’m still I making over $1,000 a week full-time consistently

[@TheRideshareHustle]

Awesome, thank you so much for sharing! Why can you not pick up in NYC?

[@txmoney]

@@TheRideshareHustle Certain cities within some states protect the yellow cab business by restricting ride share drivers within their jurisdiction. NYC offers only a limited number of rideshare drivers and they are heavily regulated. If you’re registered with the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission.you are allowed to accept rides. However, if you live outside the NYC jurisdiction, you’re out of luck.

Basically right now I'm seeing if I can't combine three part-time incomes. And I'm kind of lumping all of these make money driving your car apps as one.

I am a traditional taxi driver. I make anywhere from $150 to $200 a night net (after gas, which we must buy) in a 12 hour shift. And I use a company vehicle which the company maintains. Does it need oil? The company supplies it. Does the car need a new battery? The company supplies it. You Uber drivers are being ripped off. Become a traditional taxi driver. We too have the freedom to work when we want, and can use the company car as a personal vehicle within reason (most cities). I personally know of five traditional taxi drivers who went to Uber or Lyft or both who are now back to traditional taxi driving.

I agree with you on some points. I was driving Uber and lyft for 2 year. In the tri state area. Last year I made $80,000 with both platform. People see that number and they Look automatically think its net. Here is the reason why I stopped. 1. Uber & Lyft where taken more than 60% on the short ride. They send you to make a pick up that is 4 miles away. You get there it a short ride. You get $3.70 they get $6.00 rider payed $9.70. They are charging all these fees and reaping the rewards. 2. Rider given you a low rating for a free ride. 3. To many scammers. 4. I hate the inconsistency one week you made $1500 the next week you cant even brake $500. 5. Tolls are out of control. Don't tell me the rider pay for it not true. You give a ride from Newark Airport to Pennsylvania you get $50 $15 is toll. You got payed $35 you think not bad $35 a hour Right? Wrong you need to come back home thats Another $15 in tolls you pay out of your pocket. So now your at $20. A hour now you can't work out of state you need to drive back you just lost a hour so that $50 went to $10 a hour for two hours. Not included gas and mileage on your car. Then you see that the rider payed $80. Makes you even more mad. Make sense let me know what you think. Just a few of my reason.

[@TheRideshareHustle]

[@landshass2849]

I agree, I did both Uber and Lyft full time for 3 months in 2016 and I was feeding my spreadsheet daily as I do with my other delivery business. Driving a Prius at the time, made my numbers OK but looking at the time spent, it did not look good at all, such a waste of life. It's not a career, it's something you do till you get a job. It helps paying bills in full and not carry balances to avoid paying fees and interest, that's about it.

I drove a cab in St. Louis for years, and this sounds like the kind of strategy I used. I was forced to quit because I went through a period of disastrous bad health for about five years. I decided not to go back because the cab rental was HUGE. I ended up spending Jaguar prices for ten year old, burned out police cars. If Uber doesn’t work out, though, I left the cab business with a pretty good record - fifteen years without a chargeable accident, and few customer complaints - and they’ve let me know via email that the company I worked for wants me back.

I love driving for Uber. My own schedule and my own boss. I'm single so it's easier for me to drive whenever I want to. Uber as a company isn't that great though. The driver app has technical flaws that Uber still hasn't fixed which I believe puts the lives of drivers in jeopardy. That said, in Birmingham, Alabama I was averaging about $1100 weekly (pre-COVID) and that is plenty of money for me to live comfortably. And I live in a townhouse with two vehicles (Uber car is paid for). And last year I made over $75,000 (pre-tax) and got a fat tax refund check of $5200 after deductions and so forth. It different for each driver depending on your situation. But to just say you shouldn't drive for Uber is being a little disingenuous. It's not for everyone but for others it's just fine.

You made $2300 in a 50 to 60 hr week? How is that a reason to not work for uber lyft? I was making $870 in a 56 hr week and was monday through Saturdays very very hard labor in uncomfortable hot dusty conditions. Id be very very happy to make even the $1500 in 60 hrs week just driving.

yeah, well it's not always like that. Plus my bills are high so when the moeny is not constant, I have a hard time making rent. Are you going to sign up to drive?

I have an older video. If you go to my channel page and search rental cars it will come up. I just looked today and noticed Uber has new rental options available.

[@TheRideshareHustle]

It's debatable but to be honest I like the rental idea because you know what your cost is going to be regarless of how many miles you put on. You have no maintenance costs with a rental. If something breaks on your own car, the cost is on you to fix

[@merlinevolcy3091]

I still think Uber makes people look dumb. 59hrs driving, we can just say easy without unpaid lunch break time about 65hrs minimum on the app and pimping the car. But we will go with your 59. So that vs a regular job means 19hrs overtime on a $20/22/hr base. Where does your courage begin and gas or mileage end? I said to myself I would do this until my regular job contract starts but it is honestly not worth it. I would rather just go watch a baby for 15 an hour. And that is the least you can get paid.

Did I miss where U shared Ur Expenses.. How much does it cost U to run this rig a Mile? Gas, Maint, Depreciation of Ur Vehicle? Thank U for sharing Ur Gross #’s, but Net is where it’s at.

[@TheRideshareHustle]

Thank you for commenting! I think depreciation of your vehicle starts the minute you buy it? Every vehicle is different on cost of running it. I stick to highway rides and long distance to maximize my earnings. This vehicle takes premium rides which pay a higher rate per mile. The easiest way to look at it is this. Uber XL in Boston is $1.69/mile, the IRS lets you deduct $.58/mile. The profit is the difference. I'm also getting paid for time and pick up fee. Does that make sense?

@@Robert-uo6qi Great questions. No, I do not get paid unless I have a passenger in the car. This is the reason I tall people to have their side hustle going and to be working on it while you wait.
