How much do Uber and Lyft drivers make in San Francisco?

Uber and other rideshare drivers set their own hours and can work as much or as little as they want, as long as it is permitted by law.  Hence, how much drivers make depends on how much they drive.  Drivers keep the majority of the fare and the rest goes to the rideshare company that collects commissions and booking fees.

In San Francisco and Bay Area, Uber drivers make about $23.17 per hour before expenses well above the national average of $16.02, according to a survey including 995 drivers (other cities/source). When considering expenses, as a rule-of-thumb, many drivers use $1.00 per mile as their net profit.

Here are some comments on Quora:

  • $15-20 per hour during normal hours and $40 - $60 per hour during the peak hours (weekend nights, morning , afternoon , night time) (Sergey. July 5, 2017)
  • I average $20-$30 per hour during normal times. I average $40-$60 per hour during busy times (early morning, morning commute, afternoon rush, night life hours, and rain) (Brent Villegas, March 2018)
  • I will gross over 100k driving for Uber/Lyft in 2017. As a full-time Uber/Lyft driver in San Francisco, I average about $2,000 - $2,500 weekly. (Sean Marsland.  June 28, 2017)
