The hourly average in Boston before gas and other expenses is $14-30/hr depending on the driver, where they drive, the times they drive, and incentives.

Drivers drive on average 10-50 hours a week. Some do a consistent amount of hours almost daily some bunch it all into 3 or 4 days.

On Uber you average 2-4 trips in an hour for most hours of day unless really slow.

is this for real ?

 

[doberman617]

is this for real ?

yes, I figured the best way to get answers would be to ask the drivers themselves instead of going by what uber says

 

[alexfuber]

the truth about uber is that they count on people like me and many other drivers . immigrants that have no other option or people that can not work other jobs due to health issues . it is uber or nothing ... that is why fuber still going

 

[Jermin8r89]

Just go out and drive. Its survival. You get payed what ypu get payed even if it dont make sense. Dont ask how pay works cuz you will have a thread of 20 pages of people going in every wich direction confuseing the hell out of you. Just know the rate of where your at and 25% gets tooken out from each ride

I make 100k a year, do about 5 to 10 drives a day, and learned very quickly not to trust fellow uber drivers on this forum as spreading misinformation is advantageous to their cause.

 

[Jermin8r89]

You made 100k!? Net or gross?

 

[ubermaster5000]

You made 100k!? Net or gross?

Net. I usually throw my car away after every 100 trips and buy a new one. That way I don't have to deal with cleaning and vacuuming the interior.

Why this week so slow?

 

[Jermin8r89]

Were you on a lease program?

 

[putputcars]

LOL Trolls. The point is the income is highly variable so the information is not gonna be very good or reliable. Some people can make 10/hr net with a brand new 2016 honda pilot and working bad hours at bad locations doing pool. Other people like me who have a fully depricated hybrid car and working good hours at good spots can net 25/hr.

Your reasoning makes no sense

 

[bostonwolf]

Sure it does.

 

[ubermaster5000]

How so? I am ubermaster5000. Are you questioning my logical prowess?

Your actually right. You can do that in boston last year i maybe 75k. I was doing that with 40 hours aweek avarageing $35 an hour. I was useing ford fusion that i only pay 4k for so i rode the shit out of that thing.

You can also add in referrals ontop of that too. When i was looking at that i was just talking to someone in truckers forum how he was makeing 100k working with a well known crap company that only hands out $.30 a mile

I make 100k and I drive no more than 20 hours a week. Get on my level!

 

[Brian G.]

After all expenses a full time uber driver will make $12-14 per hr while a split shift full timer will make a bit more at $16-20 per hr. The part timer can range from $10-$30 per hr.

 

[Jermin8r89]

So are you saying you make $96 an hour!?

 

[ubermaster5000]

So are you saying you make $96 an hour!?

Easily. Most of my fares are around $100 and I usually complete the trip in 20 minutes.
