    Hi everyone I have just signed up to Uber and have agreed to do rides and deliveries.

    Hi All, I've started UberEats with my bicycle for a week now, I only go online from 12-13 and 17-19. Obviously making a dollar an hour is far from ideal. I always go to the areas highlighted by the app. I live in Ottawa in the Vanier area. Any advice on what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

    I have not driven one single trip for Uber in about 5 years. The last trip I took was right before my son was born in late August 2018. I really need to get up to speed quickly because I have bills to pay (right, don't we all 😅). Just wondering what I need to know now to be an effective driver...

    I have driven in the Gig Economy (Passenger rides only, no food delivery) for 5 years, this is what I have learned: 1. Humanity is mostly a trashfire: A sizeable portion of the population have no ability (or desire) to structure their lives. 2. Adults can sometimes behave like toddlers...
  9. Advice
    You're not going to get rich. Uber doesn't give money away. If you're going to make it pay you're going to have to put in a lot of time and a lot of miles. This shouldn't really impact part timers just looking to pick up some extra spending money but something to keep in mind if you're...

How difficult is it to deliver by car in the city? Are there certain times to work that are better for...
  13. Australia
    Hi all, I was just signing up to be a driver, but everything seems a bit confusing. From my understanding, a driver needs an ABN, so it's like an independent business. Does that mean I should open a business account, register GST, pay income taxes myself, etc? I've never been self-employed...

    tldr - I’m back, gave some history about driving in Chicago, and wanted to know how you all are doing out there. I know this page is not an airport where you announce your arrival in departure but I thought I would just check in. I started in Chicago back in 2014 in what most would say was...

    Hello, I am considering renting my cars to uber drivers (in Los Angeles) as I do not drive much, work from home, and take care of my son when not working. I am new to the site/forum but it seems many people have had horrible experiences renting cars from U/L and that so many people were adamant...
  18. Advice
    In Chicago, there is a lot of demand for rides, so I try to avoid waiting too long to get a fare, especially if it is a low surge. I usually hit the “I have arrived” when I am 1 min away, and that seems to do well, but I’m still finding people making me wait for 3-5 mins. I grew impatient...
