Would it make more sense going to a base and working 50/50 they want a $200 deposit I told ten I have $100 and can work it off. Or going for a Cadillac XTS $450 rental per week. Is there any business out there for UberLuxury? Also is it worth it if I go through Buggy TLC and get the $80o credit towards the two week rental

But it probably will be a Camry or Hyundai at Buggy ? I don't want to accept to their application agreement just yet... any advice ? I have over 11 years driving experience in NY mainly Brooklyn not so much Manhattan although I do know somewhat of Manhattan ( probably means I don't know anythin ). Clean record. Wanted some tips from a seasoned driver

Definitely forget about luxury cars. Since you're a new driver 800/week promo (or whatever they call) seems nice so you can get a feeling of the current water. Just make sure about every small details of the agreement and use a credit card, don't let them to withdraw from your bank account.

Why not the escalade any more?
He meant get a $110,000 Escalade Platinum, 6 months to a year later you'll be rolling in dough.

To the OP, get the two week rental first. I'd suggest you rent for at least this entire summer. Otherwise you're setting up for failure by starting this in the slowest business time of the year for FHV.

Even better. Don't start this summer at all. It will be DEAD.

I honestly don't know now I'm feelin really flaky. I don't want to give a $100 deposit work off the other $100 cause it's $200 and have to pay for gas TF is the point driving for a base then.

I'm kidding bro stay out of that place unless it''s before 6am weekdays or 8/9am weekend morning / late nights. Spread yourself BX & BKs good if you can handle it and do your own research on this blog too Lol
This is also new, jaybx17 is giving out a bronx pass, you are also getting soft brother.:D

All smartphones have GPS . Use Google maps or Waze if you prefer .
Return the GPS if possible

Uber promotion might force you to be in Manhattan during certain hours and do certain amount of trips originating in Manhattan,
Read the requirements multiple times. They want you to mess up and not receive the promotion
