Our earnings been cut to a point where you end up losing if you drive. Been an Lyft and Uber driver for almost 4 years and I am daily seeing cuts on earnings and cancellation fees. Lyft and Uber does not realize we have to pay Taxes, extra Rideshare insurance, Gas, wear and tear - repairs , cleaning supply , mask's, bottle waters ect. Personally I can not afford to give out bottle of waters or candies anymore to my customers, at this point. Most of my rides pay $2.81 for usually 15-20 min of driving time to customer and to destination.I been a 5 star rated driver since the beginning and never went under 4.95 but my ratings don't pay my bills. Both companies need to rethink what percentage drivers need to get to keep driving, I had a customer last week and she payed $10,18 for her fare ,I as the driver got $2.83 out of it -but still got to pay Taxes, Gas, Rideshare insurance , wear and tear so please explain to me what is left for my time ? I am not surprised drivers quit, I am honestly at a point where I can not continue driving for that out come. Last year I had put 60 000 miles on my car driving for Lyft and Uber in 15 month and this is only a site gig !
