Uber devises introductory terms and incentives that induce new drivers to onboard. They offer terms to lease a car thru Santander for 3 times the normal cost. Santander terms will not change but Uber's terms WILL change(approximately 3 times a year). If you are unable to maintain an acceptable rating, Uber will charge you (blackmail you) to the tune of $200 for the privilege of having the "opportunity" to drive again. When Uber is looking for new monetary opportunities, it seeks them out in its drivers, not it's riders. Over time this amounts to severe exploitation of its drivers. There will be some jerks that will disagree, but most of them will be named Bart2Puck. Ignore him...he probably went to University of Maryland. Enough said.
To all the morons that claim Uber isn't deliberately screwing us...

Get a second job as as a security guard??
It kind of crack me. When people say they do it part time only to get some extra cash. Well if any of you clowns here that thinks u are making any money doing it part time . U better look at ur math again. And in fact numbers are proof that only ppl who could come out of this gigs making any money are those who drive more than 60 hour a week. Let's put emotions and egos aside. FACTS . 1.Yes Uber is better than any min paying job .2. It has great flexibility . 3. Those who are worried about rating u better work on your customer skills and know ur city .
Bottom line yes it is was good when fares were 1.49/m and 1.27/m . And there was money to be made part time and we were small in # . Now it is like every other car I see is Uber x . And yes Uber used to advertised 1200/week . It was true at that time I used to work 16 h on weekend and we used to make 600 easily I have the statements to prove it. And the hourly guarantee was 38/h 41/h and I know some of you remember those all good all days . But for me 1.02 doesn't cut it and I quit the day they cut the price . So stop bragging about driving just part time only and u are making money do ur math very well.

We got a car via the Uber xchange program. I drive full time and am able to keep food and a roof over my family's head in one of the most expensive places to live in the county.... while I can admit the rates and other things could be better, I've adapted and do well.

Funny you mention that. I'm doing security on the beach tonight.
This was my view 1 hour ago
You sound very bitter. I do it part time and it had bought me furniture, paid for vacations , a new tv soon, and extra money in the bank. I only drive for xl or x when surging and it works well. I would never drive for regular rates even if I had a smaller car but if you play things the right way you can make money, you just have to play smart

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Yeah, right, from your paycheck, Uber employee.^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is likely that Uber does pay its employees minimum wage. WAIT!! This is Uber. It ignores all laws. A "technology company" does not have to follow the law. Uber likely pays less than minimum wage.0
Please do not spam my inbox when you set up the school. I will not enroll. I know what I am doing out here. There is nothing that you can tell me.
