Freebies and Free Stuff: MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR CAR

Uber is a ridesharing service that uses its own smartphone app to connect passengers with drivers. Uber offers metered and time-based taxi pricing. All payments are handled by credit cards through Uber. Uber suggests a no tipping rule, however passengers who wish to tip may do so through cash transactions with the driver. Uber prides itself on easy use of technology, lower costs, punctuality, safety and convenience of drivers and passengers, and vehicle comfort.

Uber actively recruits drivers on Craigslist/Facebook and make claims to potential drivers of $90,000 per year. According to job recruitment ads I've seen, drivers generally take home 80 percent of the fares collected - not including gas, insurance, and car maintenance. Top Uber drivers in major metropolitan cities reported earnings of $20 to 35 per hour in fares.

To be recuited as an Uber driver...

You must be 21 years old (23+ in some cities), have a 4-door car (2005 or newer), have a driver’s license, insurance, and "clean driving record."

Many traditional cab customers are turning to Uber for service because they like paying 15 to 30 percent less in taxi costs. If traditional cab services are going to compete with ridesharing services, they'd better step-up their game and include more high technology communication and tracking services, offer clean and luxury cars, provide friendly services, and lower their prices to be more inline with consumer demands. The biggest complaint with Uber drivers is that many are unfamiliar with locations, and sometimes must depend on passengers for directions and assistance.

Count the costs for yourself! Uber is still a great option for both drivers and passengers alike!
