Last night just before midnight some guy wants me to take him to Newnan, GA from Howell Mill Rd. I had a 65 mile drive home late last night to Sandy Springs with no return fare and no tip. Thanks, asshole. My hourly average yesterday went from $20 to $14 because of that not to mention all the miles and gas.

I'm going to tell people I don't drive outside of metro Atlanta. I wouldn't do that to someone, and especially not tip.

I'm the same way! I refuse to travel outside the perimeter. Welcome to the party!

Right. I live in Sandy Springs so Marietta, Roswell, Duluth, etc. are ok. But i'm not driving to Jonesboro, Newnan, etc.

Yep I have had that happen once and while it seemed like a good idea at the time (after all we would rather long rides than short ones) I cussed myself the whole way back. Now I will only go 10-15 miles outside of the perimeter unless they negotiate to give me 10 bucks or so for gas. If they aren't interested, they can get out and wait for another Uber.

I don't care where i take people to. I live in Fayetteville so i don't mind taking people from Atlanta to Newnan and all over GA. I was born to drive people around town everyday, all day. I love to drive.That's me.

long trips are where you make the money, short trips in traffic with pool are garbage

Not UberX in Atlanta.... No return fare can quickly drop to under .50 per mile round trip....

I am very tempted to ask the rider what is their tipping policy before I start a 75 mile trip. It can be 150 miles round trip for $65.00.

Geez! Thank GOD I drive select only! Someone needing a trip like that would almost certainly tip and given the fares are better it probably would've been worth it. Probably would've been over $100

On Select a 75 mile trip would net you the $100 after the uber 30% cut, before the tip. I'll be glad to make those runs every day

Congrats?

I drive a Prius so I'll take you anywhere. And the destination filter makes it even better.

 

[dnlbaboof]

long rides with dest filter on the return make 50 bucks an hour...........not bad

Has anyone taken a rider out of state ?

 

[GLight]

Yep.....Airport to Alabama.....Thanksgiving morning.....$120 fare with a $60 tip.

Not bad! How long did it take you to do the whole trip, including getting back to ATL?
