I know there must be an app for the "how much" query.

Where is it?

The rider app.

Enter the exact same address and see how much they quote it for.

 

Uber fare plus $100 cash to me for deadhead home, otherwise no deal. In my market that is probably around a $260 fare for the pax. Driver would receive $156 mileage and $24 for time. So $180

 

I did a 232 mile under old rates and made 267 ...guy tipped $30....about a $300 ride (7.5 hours) think Fluber made 45 bucks....pax paid like $340

That was old rates .90/.12

I posted it here I think under "longest Uber ride"

Uber was $100 short on payout also....had to call and get corrected. Seems like the app shits down after certain hours

 

I have scheduled a trip tomorrow with private client that takes about 4 to 5 hours round trip depending on traffic. Uber charges $185 one way. Of course I wouldn't take it without return fare. Client agreed to $300.
My fee is $60 per hour.
If you're X I would charge at least $30 per hour. Your 240 mile trip is minimum 8 hours round trip. $240 should be fair.

 

If you're going to do this and use the rider app to estimate a fare, make sure the pax does it on their phone, and not you.

When you start, you also must go offline and then logout completely from the driver app.

This is a must do on all cash trips. Uber will put 2+2 together. There are posts here on the forum about it.

 

To make this BUSINESS work, you should be *netting* $1.00/mile. When I drove a taxi I used to count on that and maybe a little more. With Uber it's tougher. I'm only averaging about $0.82/mile after expenses. But I like doing Uber better than driving a taxi, so I take the lower per-mile rate. And for me, it's all about per-mile and not per-hour. My time is cheap. My car's "time" (in miles) is not cheap. It costs me $0.28/mile for EVERY mile that I drive, whether it's for business or pleasure.

So. Someone wants to know the price to go 260 miles one-way off the app? 520 miles round-trip?? That's easy. Ballpark is $500 ($1.00/mile because you have to come back). But you could discount it. Me personally, I would not do such a trip unless I was netting $400. I ain't doing this for free or at a loss. If they won't go for $400, too bad, buy a plane ticket. Why would I want to burn up that many miles on my car for nothing?

I have an Uber friend who loves long trips, like from northwest Florida here over to Alabama where he has to deadhead back. Not me. I don't like coming back empty - it's a waste of money and really eats into your profit margin.
