    I'm fairly new to this (300 rides) and the one heads up I can give new drivers is that people are disgusting. I have cleaned my car more times in the last 2 months than I have in the 5 years I've owned the car. I have found used diapers, snot rags, boogers etc in the seat pouches of the car. People get in the car with mud and dog poop on their shoes and like to wipe their shoes off on your mats. Get a small electric power washer for your home so when you need to, you can give the car a quick wash or pull out your mats and wash them real quick

    ​@@alexschu1245 I currently own a brand new (2022) Mitsubishi with a manual transmission that achieves an impressive average of 38.5 MPG. I have received valuable advice and have been implementing it successfully. I approach my driving experience with the same level of dedication and professionalism I have acquired throughout my years in customer service. As part of my exceptional customer service, I consistently provide bottled water and mints to my passengers. By delivering outstanding service, I have managed to convert some of the shorter rides, not always the most desirable ones, into longer and more profitable trips. Perhaps I am fortunate at the moment, but whatever strategies I am employing, they are yielding positive results.

    ​​​@@alexschu1245It's possible, but very rare. I've driven for 5 years. Some days I made $40/hr. Most days I made less than minimum wage. Today I made $0 for the entire day. As of right now I'm actually in the negative. I need enough to pay for 2 full tanks of gas to break even. I'm also 2 months behind on the car payment and 1 month behind on rent. I don't know if there's too many drivers, lack of rides, or both. I've tried everything. I tried accepting every single ride, accepting only worthwhile rides, and even accepting only the best rides. Your rating makes no difference, Uber admits they remove low ratings. Uber also admits they censor us if we make them look bad.

I currently have approximately 17,500 rides from Uber and almost 6000 trips from Lyft. I've been driving about 8 years, 6 years full-time, and 2 years part-time. I have a lot of experience and insight when it comes to Uber and Lyft and would like to share my experiences with others. If you would be interested in contacting me and asking in-depth questions about the areas I've driven in, then please contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    I’ve been driving for about 6 years off and on, for some reason almost nobody wants to give tips anymore. It’s pretty disappointing when drivers pay for so much of what goes into, well…. driving a car. Lyft and Uber seem to want to include “tips” into the numbers for what drivers earn which allows them to keep the base pay somewhat lower. Tip your drivers folks, if you have no complaints tip your drivers!

    But not everyone wants passengers in their vehicle. Sometimes, I'm in a rough area and I'll pick up food rather than a person. Also, if you don't own a car you can do deliveries on a scooter or e-bike which saves time because finding parking isn't a factor.

    You just stop the app once you accept a ride like you're logging off for the day and start it back when you're ready to accept another ride. I thought everyone knew this. But the idea is to keep you busy especially if you're close to the next potential pickup.

    Hi Chris! Thanks to you and Sergio BTW, for the Show Me the Money series. A couple of things, Las Vegas, where I drive is a small area, in many to most places the roads are shitty and the stoplights are many, with some very long along main roads, i.e. Flamingo, Tropicana, Desert Inn, and many more which cross the Valley E/W. Then there is road construction! What all of this means, is with all of the above, there is more gas/battery used, abuse on the tires and oils. Nothing a driver to do can prevent or avoid this. Regarding income, a video on what’s reportable tax-wise from your income doc’s, eg. Fees, etc. Thanks!

    My tip would be not to drive during the slow months due to all the oversaturation. It's criminal. Summer and winter in Los Angeles will have you questioning why you signed up in the first place. You can sit on the same corner for maybe half an hour or more and think to move to another corner in any popular area of the entire county you can think of: they're all swarmed with Uber/Lyft drivers and you have no requests. Or you didn't match fast enough and another driver took the request. As a new driver, you probably don't know requests were sent one at a time back in the day and this was not a problem. The requests under $5 go mostly unanswered, but those also are about all that will pop up. LAX lot? No, LAX lot is typically 300 cars any time you look and when you get there the queue will be full already, but you're nowhere close to LAX anyway so why burn the miles. Sorry, but no airport rides will conveniently pop up for you either! I spent over five hours out driving for Uber Tuesday to only pick up TWO people. One took me to Simi Valley and tipped $100 bill, but I ended up driving all the way back to Downtown LA (even after trying to wait for someone at Universal Studios but no one requested) and going offline in defeat. I wanted to accrue the hours for my $1300 medical stipend, but I don't know how at this crappy rate.

    As much as i appreciate this channel and all the advocating you are doing for the drivers, I can’t recommend driving these platforms at the rates and risk drivers are incurring. As a driver in this game for the last year and doing almost 3000 trips, you will drive your car into the ground, if you get an accident even if it’s not your fault, the rideshare company doesn’t give a shit about you no matter how many five stars you have. It’s better to find a part-time job that you don’t have to put your self at risk, making peanuts while the companies are overcharging and underpaying the people actually doing the work. Save yourself the hassle and don’t do rideshare anymore. It’s not worth it.

    The problem is that even part-time jobs are ridiculously low pay AND you have to wait for them to hire you, IF they do. With rideshare, at least it's something you can do as much or as little as you want. It's good when you're trying to earn something IN BETWEEN jobs.

    Uber Eats is just not profitable at all and I live in the Chicagoland area, which is a busy metropolitan area. I tried it for a week, and I was only making decent money from Starbucks and McDonalds. I had some requests for $2 to deliver food for a 4 mile drive. Not even worth getting out of the car when a tip is not guaranteed. I completely keep it off now. I focus on rides only.

They need to know they need a cam because they will be falsely accused of harassment. The need to know that money is not made as easily as it used to be. They need to know that waiting at the airport is not worth it, it takes 2 to 3 hours to get a ride.

Best tips I've had are $12-15 for giving a good talk and a safe drive. Also..keeping a bottle of febreze in your trunk to keep your car smelling good. This goes along way and spray your car with Lysol at least twice a day to help keep the germs and such down. The febreze is VERY important if you got riders who smell like weed.

But here's the kicker, one girl walks out with maybe 13m old baby. The guy is at my rear passenger's door ya know, and im like i can't take all of you! He says what? I said im not taking all of you, you have a baby with no car seat, where is that baby going to sit safely in my vehicle? He just looked at me. And his girlfriend im assuming asked what did he say? I step out of my vehicle and i said, sorry i can't take all of you with a child and with no car seat, not gonna happen, even if was 2 of you. You still have a child with no car seat, no protection of any kind before getting into my car, not if was just the 4 of u and no kid fine, you have 4 adults, 1 kid, no car seat ! Call another Lyft, YOU need an suv and a car seat, period! The man understood after i explained it. He was cool, but his girl wasn't! I left!

    The stupidest thing about Lyft: You could have both Lyft and Uber on. And you get a ride on Uber. While driving your Uber passenger you keep Lyft on. You got a couple of lyft requests that you ignore You drop your passenger off and sit and wait for your next ride But because you have Uber up you don't realize that lift has logged you off. What benefit is it for lyft to log you off and not tell you? It doesn't benefit Lyft, it doesn't benefit you and it doesn't benefit possible Lyft passengers. It's an easy fix, but lift evidently has no idea how its drivers multitask and use the apps.

    @@ChickenThug55 I always keep both apps on at all times. Because if I'm on my way to pick up a $5 Lyft ride and I get offered a 35.00 Uber airport ride you had better believe I'm goin to cancel that Lyft ride to go for the big fish. Same goes the other way around if Lyft gives me a big ride. I have been driving for 7 years 8 to 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Of course you have to be careful because Lyft likes to threaten you for canceling too many rides. But this is all besides the point because Lyft is really mostly hurting itself if I'm off lift for a little while, I have zero chance of getting a ride on Lyft and 100% chance of getting a ride on Uber. Lyft forgets that if it's driver is not online then they can't accept rides. Uber pings you when they ask you if you want to go offline after x number of ride requests rejected or missed. This is why Uber is a much better app in every way and Lyft is just stupid and that is why they may eventually go under.

Two people for a three dollar trip or a ten dollar trit's o k. But what about when you have 4 people in a car? Now you've got more weight. Which in turn uses more gas, more wear and tear. What about when you have 4 passengers now? You have more expense you use more Gas Stop more , wear a tear on your car. So for extra passengers more than 2, we should be getting double the rate.
