   5 years ago in  Will Uber ever be Profitable?

  LOL Thank you for putting the riders in as "winners". So many people do not see this but the riders are getting away with traveling for nothing. The sad this is they are now getting so used to it they will revolt if Uber raises prices to reasonable rates

  I don't understand how you can make money driving if you have to rent the car. I can hardly afford to live and I own my car outright. You would make no money if you also had to pay a per week rental fee.
