    Uber drivers campaign to force Uber improving base pay. Simple plan of two steps, all the drivers to commit with.. 1. Reject any delivery of 3$ or $4 no matter what the distance is. 2. Do not hit cancel button for orders you don't want, just wait until it times out. Once customers start feeling the delay from accepting their orders, they will start complaining, Uber will listen to them. Please share the message with all of your friends and social media.

    Wet wipes, pajamas, and a change of clothes is very helpful. One time I finished my shift and got a flat tire. I called roadside assistance. The only tow truck they could get for me didn't have room for a passenger and they were going to charge me $500 for a 75 miles trip after business hours. So I slept in my car. Having pajamas and a change of clothes helped a lot. I was able to use wipes to clean up for the night, pajamas for the night, and some clothes to change into the next morning. The decision to put those things in the bottom compartment of my trunk (where spare tires used to be) helped a lot. It allowed me to go to Discount Tire and get a new set of tires the next morning without smelling dirty. Also a large fast food drink cup from McDonald's is very helpful. I'm a female Uber driver so peeing when a public restroom isn't available isn't as easy as it may be for a guy. At night restroom options are not very plentiful and we ladies have to expose our butts to pee. That cup allowed me to tilt my steering wheel up and out of the way, my seat as far back and low as possible, squat forward, place the cup below me, pee in it, and wipe with wet wipes before pouring the pee out in some shrubs in the parking lot. I learned a lot from that night. Now I always have a large McDonald's cup handy when driving at night as well as the pajamas and change of clothes in the bottom compartment of my trunk. After all, situations like that night don't schedule themselves.

I have purse hanger’s hanging from the headrest of the back of my front seats which are bling too. I protect my back seat with a shower curtain cut out to fit snug on my backseat to protect it from spill’s.Over the plastic shower curtain, I have a sofa throw furry blanket in colors that match my car. I keep a large Lysol spray can visible. My riders always compliment me over the cleanliness and bacteria protection. A happy good morning or good evening with a smile 😊 never fails me. I get my tips.

    Great Video! I am happy to say I use a few of the items you mentioned and will definitely be adding a dash cam for the interior of my ride 8) I would also add two items: A GPS Tracker Device hidden in your car. I have been using my "Tracki" GPS Device the last few Uber Days/Nights and it's great! My Tracki connects to Cellular Towels and Satellites throughout the World so I always know where my car is. Plus, I can plot out my mileage, setup Geo-Fences, share my exact location with loved ones through the app, and finally, maybe the most important thing, in case someone jacks my ride, I can locate my car's location immediately. Finally, and maybe not for every Uber Driver, but I carry a Self Defense Spray which is non-lethal. Again, just a peace of mind but I do end up in areas where I need to be on alert. Hopefully, I never have to use. FYI, my spray as invisible ultraviolet (UV) dye so the suspect can be identified in case they flee the scene of the crime. 😎

Have gotten complements on how smart that is. (Like I don't know😂) the 24 hr sanitizer I use stays in view. Am currently waiting on seat side organizers from Amazon. I just started doing rides, coming from Uber eats, so getting used to not being able to have my own belongings in my vehicle is an adjustment but I missed people! I'm friendly and hilarious get tipped about 85%. But I just started rides 1 month ago. Appreciate the tips for the young ones who wouldn't know otherwise😊

    I had an organizer with my cleaning supplies, lysol, febreeze, lint/hair roller, wipes, towel, tissues. But it never failed, I'd end up with a ride with more people and needed the front seat, so I'd either have to move it from the front passenger floor to the trunk or not enough room for that in the back with their luggage. So I eventually just took it out. I have a kia soul so there's not much in the way of storage space. I put what I can below the trunk floor but it doesn't have much room. Especially for all those fluids you mentioned.

Toilet tissue has been a lifesaver for me in these instances!! I also have a blue folder not just for insurance and registration but for the inspection report as well. I know it's gotten cliche, but bottles of water I think is real important. Even if they decline it they still feel special. Everyone getting off work takes the water, but not necessarily going to work!

    A thin travel blanket or sheet is great. You can help warm up the passengers whenever they're cold (usually on cold days). It's very helpful if your heater isn't the best or needs to be repaired. And since it's thin you can fold it up and easily stow it away when you don't need it.

    I have seat covers. I also have roadside assistance but never used it while driving Uber. Been driving off and on and part- time since 2019. Mostly on at first. My car had 5 miles when I bought it and started driving. I think the fee for cleaning if someone throws up, is a big deterent. I've had to pull over a couple of times. I do keep the cleaners, paper towels and basics. I'm not mechanically oriented. Just keep the car in good shape. Most problems are with nails in the tires. Use a patch and not a plug.

    Vanture N2 Pro is a great camera, the N4 gives you some more protection with the 3rd channel for the rear of the car but the N2 Pro is great. If you want wifi or recording to the cloud then there are a couple different options so it's going to depend on the options you need/want in the camera. For recording, it will depend on the memory card you get for it. You can loop the recording so it will continue to record over older footage but if you want to keep certain footage then you can press a button to save it where it won't record in loop mode. No you don't need to hardwire it unless you want to. The cameras will also plug into the cigarette lighter

    I’m curious where you’re storing all of this in your car? If you go to the airport with three people and three of their luggage, they need your entire trunk. There is no room for all those extra fluids and jumper cables and anything that does not fit underneath in the spare tire well I have a compression gun and a hydraulic jack in my trunk and I have to move it regularly to the front seat to compensate for luggage. Not to mention all of that stuff weighs a ton and affects your gas mileage. Get your car serviced regularly and stop carrying all that fluid in your car.

    Hi, great tips. I'm thinking of driving for Lyft. I have a question. Is there any way that I only request to Lyft that I have one passenger in my car at a time. I'm not looking to make a ton of money. When I went on the Lyft site to sign up, I didn't see a "Contact Us" tab. I have several questions, and frankly would rather speak with a person. Unfortunately, everything is done online these day. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Best, JK.

    Keeping oil and coolant in your car isn’t always a good idea. Leaks or spills can be disastrous with those items. Keep your vehicle well maintained in the first place. If you have a vehicle that’s burning through oil or losing coolant you have some major issues. I know not everyone can afford a newer car but seriously look into leasing or buying a certified used car. Just my 2 cents.

    That second item of a dash cam out of all will be your best asset there. People lie about their interactions whether true or not, just to get a few dollars from the rideshare companies. Do not let a passenger, "gaslight", you by saying something such as, "is it actually legal for you to record?" Usually provide a notification that the ride is being recorded and that video will be used if needed to confirm any disputes regarding the rider and driver. Usually the ones who are, "triggered", by the camera, usually are good indicators of red flag passengers, because they are the ones I usually find that are looking for a way to low rate a driver, just for a free ride.
