UBERBLACK UPDATES

Students and football are back around The Metroplex, so the busy Fall Season is in full swing! With this demand in mind, Uber DFW has a few updates surrounding UberBLACK.
Starting Friday, August 28, UberBLACK will reopen, accepting new accounts. All vehicles added on or after August 28 will receive both uberSELECT and uberX requests, in addition to UberBLACK requests.

Existing UberBLACK partners have opportunity to take part in the following options:

OPTION 1: Increase your potential earnings and lower your costs
by becoming an uberX, uberXL and uberSELECT partner, instead of UberBLACK. On uberX products, you don't need commercial insurance , which means you will rid of that excess expense by making the switch. On top of earnings saved by not having commercial insurance, uberX products have the lowest service fee at 20%. This will allow you to pocket more per trip. Sign up for uberX products below.
DRIVE ALL UBERX PRODUCTS
OPTION 2: Increase your potential earnings by opting in to start receivingall requests on the Uber platform. While continuing to receive UberBLACK trips, you will also receive requests from uberSELECT, uberXL and uberX. This will help ensure you're making the most of your time, taking more trips, and earning more per hour. Sign up to receive uberX product requests and UberBLACK requests below.
DRIVE UBERX PRODUCTS + UBERBLACK



UberBLACK will still be the most premium experience in town. Offering premium service encourages riders to request UberBLACK. Please continue to make sure you're always providing a 5-Star experience, no matter which type of request comes through.
Riders are More Likely to Rate 5-Stars When:
  • Partners are dressed professionally
  • Partners maintain a clean vehicle both inside and out
  • Vehicles are damage free
  • Doors are opened on both arrival and departure
  • Cold water is provided
We value your partnership and look forward to an extremely busy Fall Season. Please stay tuned for any uberX, uberSELECT and UberBLACK updates. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to[email protected].

Bravo

If 75% of drivers wised up and did what you did, Uber would be forced to raise rates. If only all of us could get on the same page. Uber profits billions because we all aren't

Well a lot of information in here & Facebook & Twitter. The City of Dallas was working on the ordinances when I was driving so when they passed was aware of them & specifics.

The silly thing is, you can call and arrange a black car/SUV pickup from DFW for about $55-60 one way (for about 20-30 mile range). There's no reason to pay $4/mile.
Wrong. They arrange rides with commercial drivers because they don't want an UBER driver. Nothing silly about it.

But the main principle for driving for Uber (x at least) is the rate per mile
and that's easy to obtain whether you're driving for Uber or not
and all you need is high school education to do math on 85cents/mile.......whether you drive for Uber or not

You miss my point, "silly" being that people think they are getting such a great deal for a non-commercial driver; when for the same (or less), they can hire a commercial driver.

Thanks for clarification.

Yes, they would. Then all the drivers would come right back...

Deregulation is a disaster. TNC's are toxic to local communities and decent wages.
LOL. UberBlack mad at UberX. Taxis & Limos mat at UberBlack. UberX mad at personal cars. Personal cars mad at the people mover....

It applies only to newly on boarded uber black driver. Might be a matter of time before they extend it to established uber black drivers
It applies for all uber black even the existing ones
just saw a Uber Black/SUV report on Channel 8, not happy with Uber X being there. Uber Black drivers waiting 6 hours at DFW airport for rides. I find Uber charts useless especially this one when they dropped rates to .85 cents. No numbers!! View attachment 12522
Lol
