Hey y’all. Mid-cities/Dfw area here. I’ve been driving since mid-October 2020. I was an injured massage therapist after a 20yr career and was trying to slowly start back, without diving back into it 100% immediately. I decided Uber was the easiest way to work with my schedule. I love driving and meeting new people… honestly have had a great 2 years with only a couple of odd incidents. I started driving my vehicle but switched to rentals after a few months (23,000 miles so quickly wasn’t cool to me) and that’s honestly what brought me here. A certain rental app. So I’m looking around today to see what’s up and post more about that soon. 😎
Hope everyone’s having a great day!

Welcome to the forum @chasingsunsets 🙂
When I drove, I started with a "rental" (Uber's Xchange Lease vehicle) before I bought a used Toyota Corolla with low miles. Personally I found the rental program to be more financially draining. It was $186. a week and my insurance was a lot higher too. When I got my own vehicle my costs were cut in half, but it's true I didn't have the luxury of burning too many dead miles to place myself strategically where I wanted to be. Then there's the wear and tear, but being that I got a great used car and very reliable, I didn't have much wear and tear. I eventually quit driving so I don't know how long that car would have stayed such a good car. Anyway I'm interested to see your upcoming posts about your experiences.
