Can you drive using someone else's car. If so what are the requirements.

 

[limepro]

The only requirement is insurance on that vehicle have your name attached to it.

 

[negeorgia]

I heard you have to be listed on the registration for the vehicle and insurance card.

I don't believe that's true. The registration must be up to date but I don't think you're name needs to be on it. As limepro stated, the only doc your name needs to be on is the insurance card.

Wow, I would never think to borrow or lend a car for ubern. Risk/reward issues abound.

During the snowpocalypse last year, my parents said I could use their honda pilot to uber. I swapped the insurance to my name bur not the registration. Uber denied it until I switched it too

Maybe different markets are handled differently and there is no one correct answer. I know here we have had students back for 3 weeks and 'Uber math' for calculating guarantees has been different for 3 straight weeks.

I wish uber would tell me in advance when and what guarantees are. I've not received an email or text from them since may other than csr and pay info but the guarantee payments keep showing up on my pay statements

In some markets Uber has switched to only sending out guarantees through text msg, so if you have opted out of the texts then you are missing the msgs in those markets.

I've opted out of nothing. I've emailed them a dozen times trying to resolve this too

I don't even understand guarantees and have never been notified about them. I get all the other texts. At least it seems like I do.

I understood them January to May; but they are back to weekly experiments.

 

[ginseng41]

I have no clue why we have them at all. My pay for last week will be $1,900. I still want those emails and texts though. Football season will not last forever

I feel lucky to have a direct number to text a person for our market and he responds quickly and mostly accurately. I get texts and emails about the guarantee times and gross hourly amounts.

 

[ginseng41]

Would be thrilled with that too. We don't have an office closer than 5 hours even

How much is listed as 'surge' for that amount? I only got $100 as surge for last week.

 

[ginseng41]

$983.81

 

[negeorgia]

That is fantastic, in my world that is 'life changing money.'

 

[ginseng41]

Please don't all think I make this every week. I've only broken $1,000 on football game weeks, severe weather, graduation and move in weeks. All in all, probably 10-12 times a year. I'm normally around 5-600 doing 30 hours and 200 miles. It's still changes my life for the better. I now can travel the world in the summer and take classes independently to prepare for when this crashes

 

[negeorgia]

I get it, I drive Athens, GA. and took the summer off with my wife as she recovered from foot surgery. We have taken 2 cruises and 2 short trips to Florida beaches since I started Ubering. Paying cash as we go and breaking the debt habits.
