Calling all full-time drivers - how much would you be willing to pay for an income protection solution?

Posted by c_squared 4 Driver in Ask a Driver (2 comments )

Hi everyone,I'm doing some research on a somewhat novel income protection product called a bread fund (or Broodfond in the Netherlands where it originated). A bread fund works like this: A group of typically 20-50 self-employed people create a fund, make monthly payments into it, and then the fund provides basic monthly income for those too ill or injured to work. Fund members may claim benefits for up to two years, and the payouts are classified as donations so they're not taxable as income. The money you pay into the fund is yours, and you can withdraw it anytime ...

Can I ask my Uber driver to NOT record me with his webcam? If I do not want to be recorded, shouldn't I be able to request that?

Posted by NancyStride 65 in Ask a Driver (50 comments )

Even calling into a customer service call (at a bank or whatever), we have the choice of asking not to be recorded. What about with rideshares like Uber and Lyft? I understand that the car is a private property, and drivers have the rights to record inside their cabin. However, do I have the right to not be recorded upon request?

How Uber became a big brand over few years?

Posted by bala in Tips from Rideshare Experts & Bloggers (0 comments )

When I hear the brand name is Uber truly unaware of this brand and their offering. After few years, when I was planning to book a taxi, I searched & I got Uber. And people have been started referring or telling their offers and experience. Now, what I feel is they branded their business well across the all developed countries. Also,they created more competition between all other taxi businesses. If you are entrepreneur, sure you would also feel to develop an Uber clone app. Will you ? Just leave a word below.

Can a parent order Uber or Lyft for a teenager? My kids?

Posted by JessMin99 148 in Ask a RideGuru (80 comments ) 1 guru answer

Is that legit? or better yet, legal? I am not breaking the terms of using the Uber account as I am the one with the account and credite card. I have three children and I'd love to utilize Uber or Lyft. Safe too.

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.

Shared Bikes - Huge Problems with Vandalism and Theft

Posted by dShaperoMDM 112 in Rideshare News (1 comment )

So I was rehashing this topic, ever since Uber announced the acquisition of those red bicycles - "Jump." Then I remembered that this isn't anything new. I walk outside in Boston, and I see those bikes everywhere. Docked on the sidewalk. It looks like Jump has some cool GPS features and it's "dockless", but i know there are like 100 companies who do this. Then the Theft and Vandalism - Complete lack of returns. Then I remembered this shared-bike economy has been so disappointing in the recent years. Theft and Vandalism. People stole the crap out of every bicycle and ...

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