Any Uber Partners outchea?

[Koba St]

No decals for me...I am in Virginia though. Each state may have different requirements..but Uber will let you know.

They will also let you know what your car requirements are. You will need proof of insurance, proof of inspection, vehicle registration photo,a photo of yourself, a picture of your license. They will also do a background check.

Yes...my passengers were talkative. I was just cordial and friendly though.

I didn't play any music. If you decide to play music, make sure its tasteful and at a low volume. They may want to use their phone...and you don't want want to offend anyone...so don't start playing that new Rick Ross mixtape or anything.

Standard professionalism breh.

When I just returned from vacation, we needed a ride from the airport and dude was playing some of that Kenny G smooth music. It alleviated stress and made the ride relaxing after a bunch of rushing , rude people, and being generally exhausted.

Thats just my viewpoint though. I wear a few different hats and don't let my worlds collide.



On another note, I haven't driven for Uber in months and l don't think I am considered an 'active driver'. I would have to contact them to reactivate, I guess. But I really think I am out of the game. I did it for the experience and to open a line of potential income.

For those of you making real money outchea, remember that you will be required pay taxes on that income.

Wait I thought you weren't supposed to tip the drivers?

I've been using Uber for months now and I've never tipped the driver? Am I messed up for that?

You are considered an independent contractor as an Uber Driver. You will be considered as a business owner. They will report how much they paid you. They will send you the income documents at the of the year and you will be required to pay taxes on that income. Although, if you itemize properly, you can minimize your tax expense.

This is the way it usually works.

Don't make and spend all of your Uber money thinking its under the table money, brehs.

You are not required to tip. But there is no rule against it.

I've been doing it since April. I keep my car clean and keep cold gatorade and water to give to passengers if they're thirsty. I keep the aux cord out if anyone wants to listen to their own music or otherwise, I will just keep it on the radio. On a slow night, I may only make 20 bucks in 2 hours but some nights, I've made over 300. I did have someone throw up in the back seat of my car and I took pictures of it and sent it to Uber. 3 hours later, they emailed me back and said they charged the person a $200 cleaning fee on top of their fare and they would give it to me on the next check. I've made so much driving for Uber that I've quit my main job until I finish school and I just do Uber along with another hustle.

In Houston. You have to get a TNC license. Basically, it's just a background check, drug test, and fingerprints. You also have to keep a fire extinguisher in the car within arms reach. They will give you time to get it but if you take too long, they will lock your account so you can't drive until you get the decal.

I'm close to LA so I might do it out there.

I've been wondering what the potential income is like here in Houston. How much would you say you make on the weekends breh?
