[QUOTE="Over 70, post: 2704334, member: 65928"] I tried driving uber for a night just out of curiosity and some possible easy "play money". I kept track of mileage and based expenses on the IRS standard deduction of 53.5 cents/mile. I averaged less than minimum wage. They don't charge enough for rides plain and simple. It's why cabs are more expensive, they're in it to make a living. Also, their model sucks. More than half of riders weren't ready when I got there making me wait. The clock doesn't start until they're in the car. After 5 minutes you can cancel and get $3.75 paid to you but what if you just drove 7 minutes there? You're losing time which equals money. Unless you have a constant flurry of riders ready when you show up in a small area then yeah you might make a little money. [/QUOTE]
