I'm especially curious if you have been a driver.  How much money do you make?

It might be a fun little side job for extra money.  Maybe.

I personally know a guy that is a driver in Tulsa, OK.



He makes about $250 on a weekday and up to $500 on Saturday.

I know a driver in Seattle who makes about the same.

 



To be a driver, you need a pretty new car.

I'm curious too. I've used it as a passenger. Didn't want to ask the driver how much he makes.
I started with it because someone told me its cheaper. It's not. It's the same price as a regular taxi in nyc.
Easy peasy though. I'll never hail another cab in my life.

I used it as a service earlier this year in Chicago.  The first route I "booked" when we arrived at the train station (you can't reserve anything in advance, only at the moment you need it), and after waiting for the time quoted in the app (about 10 minutes) the driver cancelled right when he was supposed to be showing up.  We took a cab instead.

Attempt number two was a success, the driver actually showed up this time and was excellent in communicating his ETA with phone calls and not just through the app. We were leaving a crowded museum on a weekend and he made finding and getting to his clean Ford Expedition easy and convenient.  It was a nice ride with professional and courteous service.

This. In a major urban area like LA/NYC, it's great. I used it in Perth, Australia and there was one driver on the map, but he was in a Mercedes so it was a pleasant ride.

Here's why I like it:
It's comparable to a cab in terms of price, but always cleaner except for the strangely-clean Orlando taxis.
Black car service is handy with groups, or just to get somewhere comfortably.
Every ride I've had has been in a late-model car, and the one old beater was driven by a really nice guy.

What makes a difference in drivers is a clean car, a bottle of water, grabbing luggage, and picking up on social cues of whether it's time to talk or let your ride have some silence.

How are these not considered non-medallion taxi's, and why are they allowed? I'd rather have someone that is licensed to perform said function, than some guy with a car that matches their requirements. I've only used taxi's in Germany, and other European countries. I guess I don't get it.

I used it one morning to go get my car after having been too drunk to drive and finding an alternate way home the night before.

App was easy to use (Uber), it was cool to watch the little car drive up to me on the map. Picked me up in my driveway and took me right where I needed to go. No muss, no fuss. Prepaid on my credit card.

The driver said he liked doing it. My city is known for bars and restaurants, and it isn't very big, so I'd bet you could do pretty well driving people to and from on the weekends. You could get another fare pretty quickly.

I'd use it wherever  I was over a cab.   I don't mind hailing a cruising cab, but at least around here, calling for one and waiting for it is a crapshoot at best, and a lot of the cabbies (and cabs) are gross and/or smell like pot.

I've only used the black service, expeditions or suburbans, it's been awesome every time. Used it in the twin cities and Houston. The black service is like on demand limo service, basically takes the planning out of transport.

Taxi drivers are checked for a clean criminal & driving history. They are also required to be properly insured. They also have special training, and certification. It's going to be the end of uber and lyft, when one of their drivers commits a sexual offense on a passenger, or kidnaps someone.

Uber drivers all must pass background and DMV checks.  Uber has some commercial insurance, but I'm not certain how that works.  I'd like to talk to an Uber driver about that.  As for training, well again.  I have a drivers license.  How much training do you need to pick someone up and drop them off?

I used it once after arriving in town at 2AM on a weeknight.  Pushed the button and had a nice clean cab within 3 minutes flat.  It beat the hell out of the "licensed" cab that passed by asking if I needed a ride in his jacked up minivan driven by a toothless old guy.

Would use again, would recommend to others.

Must be the only game In town. My dad does it mostly for fun and a little side money on the weekend. There are tons of other uber drivers in the popular areas of town he can literally pick them out and see other people get passengers while he doesn't on top of the reg cabs. Not much you can do about that. He avg to about 15-20hr including down time some days better than others of course but ymmv.

Depends in the type - Uber or UberX. When I was in Seattle, most of the drivers were limo drivers. Very professional. Most were non-native English speaking. In Tampa, most if the rides I used were UberX - different class of drivers. Experience is in a word, more interesting and engaging. Most of these guys have other jobs - and we often talk about other shit they do. The ride itself can vary from car to car. With UberX, I'm riding Hondas and the likes. Not as good as a limo ride, but better than a cab ride.

I have never used it or heard of it but after reading this thread it sounds like a cool idea.

Question for you though since you're a drive, are you required to tell them what kind of insurance you have in order to be a driver?  I guess I'd on;y be concerned that I would be getting a ride and the driver has an at fault wreck and I'm injured and he has no insurance to cover it.

In Kansas City uber began working with the city on developing a permitting process before the first ride even.

Insurance while online and on a ride comes from uber in the form of a 1
Million dollar likability policy with uninsured motorist coverage and no fault medical if required.

My vehicle is covered up to 50k for damage from a wreck or comp loss with 1000 deductible as long as I have comp and coll on my car.

We are pre screened with a basic background check mvr check and we provide copies of our DL ins and registration.

We also have cars inspected in person or provide photos. We also give a current photo of ourselves.

I earn enough to pay for a 2011 Volvo s80 sedan and then some each month.

They have cut rates trying to kill lyft is my guess.

In the last one of these threads I said I want to be a driver but then updated with the numbers after all taxes and fees and said it wasn't worth it. Now I've been looking at Uber XL which pays more with a minivan.

However I would like to know how often people would use that service versus uber x. The last thing I want is to be sitting around for hours in between calls.

Not often. I used it a few times - but only when I'm with a group of 5 or more. Can't remember how much extra I had to pay though as it was billed through my corporate card.
