What are ways Uber drivers make money besides driving?

Posted by MingiPark1982 101 in Ask a Driver (72 comments )

After 50 Uber rides, I finally ran into an Uber driver who had a sundry shop open in his car. He sold water, gum, mints, head phones, charging cables, bags of chips, red bull, chapsticks, etc. etc. I asked the driver and he told he can do whatever he wants because he is an independent and the products have nothing to do with Uber, the company. I don't know the legality of opening up a store in the back of a Toyota Camry, but with all legal stuff aside, what are other ways drivers make money? What are cool things …

Uber Deactivation for Safety Concerns

Posted by npriddy 24 Driver in Angry Drivers (17 comments )

This week I was three weeks from my two year anniversary with Uber. I have a 4.94 rating (490 5 star, 4 4 star, 6 1 star) and I have done over 4800 rides. I have had no accidents, only one ticket over a year and a half ago and it was my word against the officers (yellow light/officer said red). I never cancel on riders other than no-shows or extreme conditions such as the car breaking down. I almost always beat the time given on the app - I never pause when going to get a passenger. I felt …

It's time to call Rideshare what it is: Taxi

Posted by Samarov 1448 Rider in Angry Drivers (17 comments )

Riding my bike around Chicago these days I'm always wary of cars pulled over, idling by the curb, or, more often, blocking the bike lane. A few years ago most of these obstacles in my path were clearly identifiable by their markings—they were taxis. Now it's much more difficult to tell public vehicles from private. But from my many years as a cabdriver I can still catch the telltale signs. Though the only outward thing to give them away is an airplane decal on the back window, a dumb pink mustache or that ominous U on the dash, the drivers' …

As a ride share driver, what is your worst nightmare?

Posted by fpressly 4084 Rider Driver in Ask a Driver (36 comments )

Being wrongly accused and not having proof to the contrary. With dashcam and two other hidden cameras and five audio pickups, I hope to have that resolved.

What is the "cleaning fees" and "vomit" SCAM by Uber drivers? Should I be concerned? How do I avoid them?

Posted by KWalkins 88 in Rideshare Scams (35 comments ) 1 guru answer

I heard from my nephew that Uber drives are sometimes so desperate to make money that they would randomly charge cleaning fees for no reason whatsoever. Is this true? What can I do to stop it or make sure it doesn't happen.

Rider calls Uber AND Lyft

Posted by ErikJ1218 Driver in Angry Drivers (1 comment )

Picked up rider and guest at the Airport and before the rider got in the car another car pulls up behind me and the rider goes to talk to him. Guest, who is in my car tells me rider called two cars and "forgot" to cancel one. I ended up taking the whole fare, but in retrospect, I think I should have made rider take the other car and pay both fares, or we should have both cancelled both rides and make the rider start over.Am I the asshole?
