Uber - The Complete A - Z Walkthrough for NEWB Drivers

[@jamesdodge150]

Hello Uber Man! I am, I guess, what you would call a seasoned driver. I have been driving now for 7 months and just recently went full time. I just want to thank you for this video... even though I have figured out most of this info through hard knocks (lol) I was still able to garner quite a bit of info from this! Fantastic job man...I will be recommending your channel to all of my fellow drivers in the area as well as any new drivers I happen to bring on board....not that I am actively recruiting as we are already overflowed with drivers in my city. Anyway, thanks again! James.

[@andyattitude2000]

Thank you so very much for making this video.I have been retired for about two years and my money isn't lasting so I need to get a new gig. I have been watching a lot of videos about UBER and your series is the best that I have come across. I live near a college town with about 50,000 full time residents so I expect to need the sick bags. Thanks again for the videos.I plan to use your code when I sign up for Uber. I first have to get a little work done to my car.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that. If you have any questions just email me @ [e-mail]. I'm happy to help.

[@lauralewis7576]

Thank so much for the intro. I am a new driver. I am one of the drivers that you're talking about, because I am very nervous about my first trip. I have cleared everything and I am "active" just haven driven yet. I plan to start next week. Again thanks, great job!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You're very welcome! Please keep me updated on how it went!

[@lauralewis7576]

I went out today (airport) and I had (2) cancellations before I even got to the pick-up gate. I finally got a rider (a pilot) who lived several blocks from the airport. I went out and picked him up at home and brought him back to the airport. YES, I was nervous, but he was very nice which made it so much easier. I forgot to hit the "pick-up button" and "drop- off" but lucky the system picked it up. Thanks again.

[@ibnakbar6831]

I'm going out for the first time tonight, but I'm glad I came across this video first! Key takeaways: 1) Get on the Uber rider app and see where the clutter is. 2) Inform the rider (in a very subtle way) of the importance of a 5 star rating for drivers. 3) Last but certainly not least, my nervousness about jumping out there for the first time is normal! Good stuff!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Ibn Akbar Happy to help, and thanks for watching! Good luck out there!

[@yimmydeep]

Hi, I'm a new uber driver here in Boston, I have just a couple weeks doing that and I have to say that help me a lot lot. I have to say thank you because you gave me advice and encouraged me to do it. Thanks you my friend. All that you said in this video was the same way that i felt when I took me first ride.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

yimmy alba That's great to hear. Thank you for watching, and taking the time to comment. Best of luck to you out there! Uber on!

[@audreym1496]

I watched this video after watching a few others. I just have to say this! When you talk about yourself, you sound humble!! Most people sound conceited but you truly don't. I believe your service is probably better than 4.8 or whatever you said it was lol

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you Audrey! That was very sweet.

[@sor09]

Hey Uber Man, I got my first drive last night... the people were drinking prior to the ride.... 100+ proof! I freaked a out a bit and we I got the call. I was actually going home, then they canceled and then they called again ... less than 45 seconds. I got them to the destination... not perfect, but I forgot to turn on the mileage meter thing... Dang... first time stuff, dang again. I am going for my second drive today. GIRL POWER!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+sor09 Very nice lol. Hey, this time START THE METER!!! LOL. Live and learn, you got this! Uber on!

[@sor09]

Ok! :-)

[@maryKbourne]

Thanks for the video!!! Especially the suggestion for using the uber rider app to find where to drive. I had been driving almost 50 miles to find fares and while watching this video I found that 10 minutes from me there's a pretty successful area!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Mary Scott Very nice Mary!!! I hope you enjoy ridesharing! Stay safe.

[@cashe18]

Long but one of the BEST videos for new drivers! Worth the watch.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Carlos Pineiro Thanks Carlos.

[@maribetht5882]

Hi Uber Man. Thanks for this video. I signed up last week and just got the OK to drive on Thursday night. It's now Saturday night and I was so nervous about starting it all up I just have not signed on. It's 4th of July weekend and I live at the Jersey Shore I'm sure I missed out on some $. I'm glad to hear that you were nervous and I'm not the only one. I will get up early and try to get some of the people going down to the beach or boardwalk in the morning. Thanks again for the pep talk and tips.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

It's great to hear from you! I'm sure you will make money this weekend for sure! I wish you all the best!

[@maribetht5882]

Well Uber Man I got the nerve up and went out on Sunday to drive for 4th of July weekend. I was very happy and did what I thought was good. I drove 6 hours and had 8 fairs. I could have done more but I got so far north from my home I didn't except like 6 of the fairs. Thanks again for your video.

[@kevinlucas9905]

i really appreciate the car advice at the end. I'm horrible with cars and been trying to find ways to better take care of a newer model i just purchased and planning to use for uber. Thank you

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You're most welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@ShawnStartup777]

Awesome Vid Uber Man! I just ran my first 2 Ubers tonight as a "Noober" to get my feet wet, all went great :) Excellent Tips and Info! THANKS...

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

***** How'd it go?

[@ShawnStartup777]

Uber Man it went really good, took a few runs last night just to get my feet wet, but still your tips are awesome and very helpful. I'm about to go out again tonight and give it another try and see how this night goes thumbs up! Peace out bro...

[@carmeloangel5873]

Uber Man

[@crgwllms]

That was excellent. You covered a lot of stuff I already knew, but also a lot of things I would not have thought of. Totally thorough. I'm looking forward to getting on the road as soon as my vehicle gets checked out this week. Well done and thanks. (Perth, Australia)

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Craig Williams Thank you for watching. I really do appreciate it. I wish you the best of luck out there, and stay safe. Uber on.

[@nickmbithi813]

Am in Nairobi,KENYA the information is great n very helpful. Drove Metro cars in Detroit Michigan a while back any similarities.Will start Uber driving soon hope I can make something out of it.Its a booming business here in Kenya. Keep it up.

[@alienchild4721]

I'm a new UBER....as of TODAY....thanks for the info :-) You mentioned taking photo's of your car...UBER never asked me to take pictures of my car....sent them picture of my commercial license...insurance...registration...and vehicle inspection..and that was it...got activated in 7 days.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Welcome to UBer!!! Congrats!!

[@quatromandolo]

Thanks, for the excellent video. Well, I am pretty much new to the Uber and Lyft platform. I've only have completed one hundred rides. Yes my biggest worry is ratings. You kind of cleared that off for me. You say 'just concentrate on the quality of the service'. Makes sense. I will work on that one. Once again thanks. Uber On.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+felipe rodriguez Not a problem. Keep on doing what you do. You'll be fine.

[@glorialynn66]

Thanks to you. After watching your video, I just decided to finally get started. I started today. Nervous @ first. But soon got over it. Thanks!!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

gloria phillips Let us know how it went! :) Welcome to Uber.

[@gino3d]

Thank you for your channel! I'm all ready to start but want to make sure I'm very well prepared. You have given me a lot of great info that is really useful. Keep it up, Gino

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+gino3d Thanks, and good luck to you!

[@cannongamesx]

I watched some tips from you before hand and i was exited to make some extra cash for school. i hit that ACCEPT immediately with gusto

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Nice! How'd it go?

[@cannongamesx]

oh lovely I made a good chunk of pay. the tampa market isnt exactly... booming... yesterday was a bust (been with uber for 2-3 months now) but thats the first day that was ever this bad in terms of rider frequency.

[@yaphetjamal8046]

As a potential new driver, I found the video very informative. Uber man provided some key information that could be useful for new drivers. However, it was quite long and more weighted towards vehicle maintenance than I felt it should be at this point.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+yaphet jamal Thank you for the comment. Maintenance is of the utmost importance when you are driving commercially. Trying to save your cars.

[@Mrsclarasmith1]

This is a great video I am starting as a driver in Oklahoma City on Thursday and I honestly can't wait

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

That is great to hear!! I wish you the best out here!

[@mytubeison]

I'm a new UBER driver as of yesterday. Very thorough video. Super informative. Thanks for the info!

[@angelarigau3432]

Thank you Sooo Much!!! I been looking all night for this info! lol I did the hang up on first ping too! Uber should pay you for this training video and add it to theirs. If they had, I would driving right now, instead of looking for more info. Anyone that joins thru me will be sent to your website first. You should also show how to switch between apps. I'm a newbie to 4G and with a new phone. My Lyft driver taught me how. Thank God! If you don't have another gps you need to know how to get back and forth from apps to google and back without leaving the Uber or Lyft app. especially if they only tell you a street and place name. Thanks again!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Angela Rigau Thanks so much! I m happy I could be of help to you. I'll try to make a video for switching apps! Best of luck to you out there!

[@JanetteBuhler]

Whew! THANK YOU!! I've watched so many vids all over KZbin looking for just this!! I've appreciated ALL of the vids and info, but most of the time many references are made that are common I guess, I don't even understand!

[@lyndajoko9773]

Really appreciate your support. I think i'm ready to start!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Lynda Joko Glad to hear it! Please keep me posted on how you're doing.

[@jscottseaman]

Thanks Uber Man for taking your down time to clarify most of the ride share questions I had. Your video was very informative.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+J Scott Seaman You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@Loripol100]

Thank you! Very informative! You answered every single question I had except one. Security. Have you been in a dangerous situation and what did you do? Being female I am a little concerned with this (as is my husband).

[@Ajax7498]

I have made about 40 trips since signing up last week and your walkthrough has helped me a lot. I thought you were right on.Thanks Alex

[@Will_i_am_]

Thanks for the tips I'm a new driver just join the team on Thursday I have not try it yet after seen this video going to try it tonight

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

William Justiniano Please let me know how you liked it, and how you did! Welcome to Uber!

[@martinlopezdiazjr.505]

UberMan, thanks for your tips. I just signed up and I'm about to take the plunge here San Francisco and with the SuperBowl in town, I'm going to need all the tips and support I can get.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Martin Lopez Diaz, Jr Your welcome. Congrats man!! Good luck out there!!

[@tweet561]

That is so funny you brought up the issue with the app dying .. my phone died just last night and I had to plug in my charger and I remained calm and brought the uber app back up again and got my passenger to his destination lol

[@chrislee2083]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this and other videos. I watched the while thing. Lots of useful information.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

***** I'm glad I can help people, it makes me feel good.

[@CAL07LGS]

Awesome video....Thanks. I am approved and waiting for my car to have a warranty issue fixed before I start. Little bit of the first trip jitters....where will they want to go...no doubt somewhere I am not familiar with. Oh well easy to get over that stuff. Although you brought up something I did not think of.....Vomit, urine, DEFICATE....What? So this brings a question. How often has this happened to you? Its enough to make me rethink the decision to Uber. Thanks again and glad to see you survived the shut down.

[@almaott6135]

They don't ask for photos of your car anymore, at least not if you're in the Chicagoland area.When you sign up here, they only ask for your driver's license, vehicle registration, proof insurance with your name on it, and an annual vehicle inspection report. They provide the report form and a list of approved mechanic shops. (In Chicago, you only pay $20 to get this report completed.) After watching this video, I can see where taking photos are important in case your car is damaged by a passenger. Uber would need to know that the damage was not there before the incident.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Alma Ott I believe they stopped the vehicle pics here as well.

[@GetSchanked]

I just signed up to drive for Uber last week (got accepted), but I didn't know about your code or else I definitely would have used it. Damn it.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

GetSchanked It's all good. I appreciate you watching the videos, and commenting.

[@uhsenli6424]

to add to your advice, pep boys will rotate tires for you for free and check tire pressure too

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Uhsen Li Really? Very good info, thank you.

[@MrTarzan305]

Great job on the video man! You've answered a lot of my questions. 👍

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+will berrios Thank you, and if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

[@MrTarzan305]

One question. So when one get paid dose it go straight into your bank account or is it a 3rd party thing?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+will berrios It goes directly to your bank.

[@qwrt951]

I live in NYC and it requires you to get a get 2 licences. Which is TLC licence(taxi and limousine commission) and your Drivers licence. Which you need to change your license Class at the DMV to E, CDL, or A. In order to drive for UBER here

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Sounds expensive, and like a lot of work.

[@DeepValueOptions]

+Uber Man costs around 1k for tlc license and around 2k for tlc plates

[@DeepValueOptions]

Is the cost of both approximately what I posted?

[@RagsToRiches88]

I just applied for tlc licence and yes it is expensive and time consuming (about 35 hours worth of courses). you have to take a whole bunch of courses, which you have to pay, and then you have to pass a test. it'll cost around $700 all together to get your tlc licence, however uber told me I would get $250 after my first ride, and $500 after my 20th so you get the money back. as far as tlc plates, I'm not at that stage yet, so I don't know the cost.

[@DeepValueOptions]

gogolo83 I think that plates are 750

[@ericman2763]

Yo Man, Outstanding info!!! You need to clean this up, each company specific, and market this to them for 1st time drivers like I was 2 days ago.. I search all over the Uber website hoping for info like this, it was not there.. The driver that came to my house and inspected my car, did not give me this info, he said I should be getting a e-mail in 6 to10 days after background investigation and driving record was completed. The next day I download driver app and it started peeping :-) I let the 1st 2 go by before answering one.. it all turned out ok, 2 yesterday and 8 today, but I would have loved to have your info before answering the 1st one... Thanks bro

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

***** Glad to hear it man! I'm here to help! Uber on!

[@loisatwater1862]

Thank you Uber Man for the walk through. Much appreciated.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

[@bodychoicenaturals459]

Will do! Thanks!

[@FinancialGold]

Thank You! Thank You! You're so right, I've been listening to video after video, trying to get past this apprehension. But after listening to your newbie video, I'm going to do that 1st ride today.

[@wbUni]

Thanks Uber man. great info and encouragement for us the new Uber driver.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+weeboon Tan Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it useful. Uber on!

[@mistered1397]

New to Uber. Thanks for the video! A lot of info that I had not thought about.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@HavocTMA]

Thanks for all this information. Way more help than the company has given. I'll def get some bubble gum and water tho. I need to bump my rating up.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Jared Phillips You're very welcome, and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to watch, and comment. Have a great day.

[@WalterBlomquist]

Hey Uber Man. Your vids have been very helpful. I've watched a bunch today. I just got started 2 days ago. What happens if your phone dies (obv. not gonna happen if plugged in), app crashes, lose signal, whatever. You can't actually call Uber. Would you just keep track manually and contact them later. I'm guessing they could track through your rider (maybe??). -Thanks!

[@JamesWilliams-qw8on]

Thank you for the time you given here. You gave me enough well deserved information.

[@TheJosa007]

On my first day of 7 rides my rating went 4.75. I don't know why. I thought I did everything right. I'd like to know why you have to work nights. Most likely you like it better or make more money. The puke smell does not go away in two hours. (I don't mean to tell you wrong)Thank you so much for the advice and hard work.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

E Galindo I work nights because that's where the $$$$$ is for me. Puke smell does go away, always has for me after a detail. Thanks.

[@richardmuir7260]

E Galindo Because uber's rating system sucks, you are giving rides to a spoiled American public that uber wants to spoil even more.

[@williamcombs4851]

I really LIKE your videos , I am a 3 month newbie UBER man in tucson arizona , I started my 1 st day driving down by the U of A campus at 11 am , and PING , my 1st ride , yeah i was a bit nervous , then when it got dark I was more nervous til I got use to the night time google maps , lit screen , thanks for what you do from william combs

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+William Combs You're welcome man. I'm glad it's working out for you. You'll be a pro in no time at all!

[@carol4zeppelin152]

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+CitizenKate Thank you for watching. I appreciate it.

[@TABL3SIX]

Once you got into the puking in your car part, dealing with drunks, the possibility of being assaulted, that did it for me. I think I'll stick with my day job. Once again I think anyone considering this should give this video a watch. Very eye opening on what to expect from drive sharing.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+TABL3SIX It's not for everyone, that's for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@ljs7wave]

Oh good!! I thought I was the only one!! I got accepted the other day and have not hit the road yet . . . . I'm having Uber Anxiety!! I'm making excuses for myself . . . ie: I should get a sunpass first, get a car inspection (for Palm Beach) first, get a cooler of waters first, vacuum my car again first . . . . and the list goes on!! LOL I need a kick in the butt!!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

ljs7wave Same here, just do it! One ride, and you'll be hooked!! Go for it!!

[@lynnbowie1014]

ljs7wave i know! i procrastinated also! it was kind of nerve wracking. I am also in Palm Beach! Ironically one of the things that I feared the most was my peeps knowing i was driving for UBER (I am between jobs professionally and this is totally not my gig!) But I found a really cool UBER mentor who had put the idea in my fiance's head, and we had a really long lunch. He empowered me and my fiance' supported the idea, which helped! Now I love it!! My clients make me feel special, because we all know how demeaning it can be when unemployed, and UBER makes my day! if you have questions or want to meet up let me know. reading some of the the comments you will see that it's just as difficult for men as it is for women to take that initial leap.

[@ljs7wave]

Lynn Bowie Hi Lynn . . . thank you sooo much for your words of encouragement!! It helps!! I actually hit the road on Wed. morning for a few hours and I took 5 trips . . . all nice/kind people . . . I tried again yesterday morning and the anxiety took over!! lol I had a few issues with Uber's navigation sending me to the wrong spot for pick up . . . I have questions and would love to meet up!! I'm in Ft. Lauderdale but mom's in Palm . . . I was going up today for the sun fest but scratched my eye ball :( Let me know how to reach you and I'd love to take you for lunch or coffee/Uber talk lol!! It would be nice to have a friend in the same boat to bounce things off of!! Smiles, LJ

[@ljs7wave]

ljs7wave PS: Lynn . . . it's an honest living, you provide a service, it makes you a business owner . . . so if your peeps don't get that (and I'm sure they will) . . . they're not your peeps!! I just closed my lill novelty necktie shop but still sell them online: www.stores.ebay.com/ljsloot and need the income until I figure out what's next . . . it's all good!! ;)

[@rodmastar]

I like using the extra phone so I can monitor where other drivers are... and so I get notified if a Text message comes in

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

[@MsSangreen]

I just complimented you to Uber in an Email I just sent to them asking them about the fastest way to get to Surges. When you talk about hourly pay an time periods to clock in on I don't know anything about this. I was never told I would be making an hourly rate an hour. an I drive in Mesa, Tempe, Scottladale an Phoenix. Thanks for all your insight into helping us become better at working for Uber, even as a contracted employee. This is my 2nd comment to you.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+san green Thank you! I really appreciate that :)

[@MsSangreen]

Your Welcome,i love hearing you.how long are you suppose to wait for the client.I had one last night cld not find nor did he call I waited about 45Min an left.tri ed yo call him an it went to vm 2 times

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+san green We wait 5 minutes, that's it.

[@mikehubert2512]

Great information. What about what you wear to drive? Formal, casual, Hats, tie, sweats, what is the standard?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Mike Hubert I wear my standard jeans, nike hat, shirt, etc.

[@uhsenli6424]

when purchasing a new/used vehicle, some dealer owned vehicle may offer a oil change package. a nearby nissan dealership near me will give lifetime oil change and inspection for $1800

[@uhsenli6424]

dandanthetaximan actually i told them the car is for uber and they said they don't care, but yah if you're smart enough you don't tell your insurance/car dealer ships about that but you can ask them about if they have "maintenance package"

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Uhsen Li That's a good point, thank you.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Uhsen Li Agreed!

[@everss02]

Ripoff! Changing your oil yourself takes 10 minutes, $30 each with synthetic oil each time. So if 4 changes a year, that's 15 years of oil changes. I doubt you'll keep the car more than even 5 years if it doesn't get totaled ubering.

[@uhsenli6424]

everss02 not everyone's comfortable with changing oil, also they provide inspection too so they can actually see if there's anything else wrong with your vehicle. that alone itself usually cost $60-100

[@UpgradingJeff]

How often ( mileage) would you do a complete tune-up. What do you include in your tune ups? Transmission Service? Engine Service? Brake Service?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Tune-up is usually spark plugs. Those are 100K for most cars today. Trans flush every 30K. Oil changes every 5K. Brakes as needed. They will last 30 - 50K miles usually. Air filters are due about every 12K.

[@UpgradingJeff]

Thanks for the quick reply.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You bet!

[@rolandopacheco4528]

this was a great video introduction thank you so much for the information As I am a first time driver that will be starting for the first time on Friday. the only thing that you got me thinking about now that i wouldn't even drive is the rating for the drivers. I mean if your not rated high enough how long normally will it take for Uber to drop you. it's not like I'm worried about it I have a full time job plus a part time job so this will be a part part time job lol

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+rolando pacheco People worry WAY too much over ratings. I just drive, and forget the ratings. That's the best thing to do.

[@respinoza89]

Tomorrow I'm going out for my first drive. I just have a few questions. 1) I live in a small town and I will have to go to a bigger neighboring town or city. If they don't give me an address, I feel like I would be in trouble, and you said to avoid asking them how to get there. what can I do at this point? Should I wait and try to figure out where to go? Should I google it? That's what I'm worried about the most. 2) would it be a bad idea to put a small sign that sort of explains how the feedback system affects us? For example, "4 = fail, 5 = success :) please feel free to let me know how I can make your ride more comfortable." Thanks

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You'll be fine. If they did not enter an address, ask them for the destination / address, or ask if they would prefer to give you directions. The rating sign may help, or it may hurt. I really don't know for sure. I'd not put up a sign yet. Get a few trips under your belt first.

Great video Uber man. I've been approved to drive with Uber immediately but still have a couple questions I need answering first - 1. Are any additional Personal Auto insurance endorsements needed? 2. If the passenger doesn't indicate where they are going on the app, when you pull up and find they want to go 60 miles out of your comfort zone, can you decline the ride with no negative feedback? Thanks alot!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+Johnny A There should be no additional insurance needed. Uber provides the commercial coverage. Yes, you can cancel the ride at any time, for any reason. Welcome to Uber!

[@Elite54.]

man another great video. informative. keep it up and Uber on

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Malick Nguehie Thanks, I try :)

[@VvLOGiKvV]

the 4/5 = fail is nonsense. Should be a simple good/bad, green/red, yes/no. Car age thing is stupid too.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+qerfwgbrwtnj3w5ynmetyjtymetynmtwghwrehqwytntwh4qthw I agree.

[@edwords541]

Agree. People think my 2006 jeep is a 2014 or newer all of the time

[@lauraharvey2723]

UberMan, produced a great Video. Thank you for the all the informations that you provided for Uber starters. I'm going to hit the street tomorrow as of Uber driver. please wish me luck ! thank you again ~~

[@olgagn1]

Great advice and yesterday was my first day and I got a lot of your video . I am still a bit uneasy about it but I am going to see. I sure did not like the rating thing that 4 is a bad rating if you are the driver . We shall see. I certainly can relate to seeing the app go on and turning it off. LOL I will go out and see what happens :-)

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

+olga garcia navarro Good luck out there!!

[@dustymcdowell5446]

[@cjmoore49]

tonite will be our first time so my husband will drive while I sit in front with him so we can help each other on first night maybe two until we get familiar with it then we will take our turns on same car. Will that be ok for me go with him? or he must go alone? Hope to hear from you within an hour before we start. Thanks

[@danniellawoods]

lol I'm curious.. how'd that go?? I bet Pax was like wth is this????!!! lolol

[@dEeM0nEy916]

Thank you for all of your vids! I don't plan to rent the phone from Uber as well and just plan to use my Note 3. My question is can Uber continue to run in the background normally while using Google Maps for navigating. I ask this because Google Maps is constantly updating especially regarding traffic and/or road construction.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

dEeM0nEy916 Yes, GM will run just fine and Uber will work great in the background. No issue.

[@dEeM0nEy916]

Awesome, thank you for all you do!

[@lynnbowie1014]

[@drakdemay6984]

I enjoyed your video. and learned so much! thank you for making it

[@misstexas4781]

Wow, this has been a very informative video! Thank you!!

[@55Herbie1]

Very informative. Thank you. I'm now living on a pension and had been thinking about doing Uber. Question: I was thinking of getting a Lincoln Navigator. One person said that the gas would not make it worth it but another said I would get paid higher rates to compensate. What are your thoughts on that?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

55Herbie1 I'd research the market your in first. Love the navigator, but that thing is a gas HOG. Do you have UberSelect in your market? If so, does the year navigator you are looking at qualify? Make sure they are accepting new Select in your market as well. IF you qualify for select, yes, go for it! Otherwise I recommend a XL that gets "decent" MPGs, or stick with a cheaper car on UberX

[@55Herbie1]

Yes, it does consume a lot of gas but the roominess is wonderful. But not sure if the money spent for gas would compensate. I haven't signed up yet because one will say it's worth it but another will say differently. That's why I'm now searching the internet to get as much information as possible. That's how I came across your videos. I am leaning towards it. I live in Orange county California. Borders on LA county. Sure appreciate all the information I've been learning from your videos! It's been very helpful! Thanks
