Not really, definitely not like the past years.
I don't think we will be going into lockdown again, I say go for it.
I believe it is based off of the average that you earn. Mine used to be $2K but it is not anymore.
no, overkill!
hello
I would say it is worth it so long as you get a relatively cheap vehicle. Keep in mind UberXL is mainly used as a college bus (low tips) and airports trips with tons of suitcases being piled in your trunk.
Interesting, this will help with the whole "he said/she said" stuff at least.
I find people dont tip much anymore so that sucks but the surge is pretty good...
Have you tried logging into the Uber app and seeing if there are any drivers in your area? Usually there is at least 1, even in small towns.
Have you checked using the RideGuru Fare Comparison Calculator? It will tell you every service that is available for your desired route.
Well.... you know where these people live right?? Go egg their house? haha
hahaha So Uber, after all they have done to the taxi industry is turning to them for HELP?! This is insane.
This is what happens when Uber pays less than minimum wage! No one wants to drive anymore.
biggest pet peeve of mine!
If anyone does give you a hard time you should report them to Uber immediately! We are not allowed to discriminate so if you feel discriminated against, I would contact Uber and tell them of the driver's behavior.
LOL comment of the year!
Can you post about the scam here? I don't know this one.
COME ON!! The DeLorean is without a doubt the top movie car!
"The food delivery service surveyed a representative sample of 2,000 U.K. adults last month to uncover the greatest cars to feature in films, with the Aston Martin DB5 taking the top spot, followed by the 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 from the “Back to the Future” trilogy"
Usually Uber and Lyft are reliable but there has been a driver shortage with Covid-19 which can cause some long wait times. I would recommend getting up extra early and requesting your car, better to be safe than sorry!
Definitely a scam! Do not give them any information. Uber would never give out $200 for free 😂
