Then why do it? Aren't regular Uber/Lyft trips more worth it?
Car insurance costs go up quite a lot of you do Uber
Fucking.... LIE god damn. The insurance company isn't gonna find out your doing Uber unless you tell them.
They will easily find out when it shows up in a police report for a fender bender.
The legroom in my backseat (‘13 Ford Focus) is garbage and wildly uncomfortable. I also don’t really like people enough for that and prefer doing delivery, on top of having a bit more control over where I operate by delivering. I live in a small city north of Seattle and can keep my deliveries all within 5 miles and still make $30/hour. I don’t think I could do that doing rideshare.
Do you actually make $30 an hour after you factor in gas, maintenance, milage, etc?
No, def not. I’m talking gross. I set aside half for taxes, car maintenance, gas, etc, and keep about 15/hour.
