The Guru Take
New full time drivers are told...
It obviously matters on various factors, such as your activitiy level, but new drivers are often suggested they will use less than 2GB of the data plan a month. This is primarily from the mapping and GPS usage.
This is for people starting off as a full-time driver. The estimate will obviously be higher if the driver uses other apps, such as map, messaging, etc.
UPDATE (2018/02/05): It looks like Uber has increased this number to 3GB. (Uber)

This figure seems sorta high for me. Does mapping really take that much data? I guess maybe if you drive all day long.
