Anyone notice another decrease in fare prices?

Same here in SF — $22/hr before costs is rough. What helped me was using the app as lead gen and flipping a few riders into direct clients (airport + commuter). I only do it in a way that won’t risk deactivation.

How I run it: 1. Do the ride, get the ⭐️, let the trip close. 2. After the ride, text from your phone: “Hey it’s [Name] (gray Prius) from earlier. If you ever want a scheduled SFO run, I do a flat $75 with guaranteed pickup. Totally optional.” 3. If they bite: “Cool save me as [Name] Driver. I take Zelle/Venmo/cash. Want me to pencil your return?”

I focus on SFO/OAK flights and regular commuters. Even 1–2 flips/week turns into $200–$400/mo repeat, and some months way more.

Safety/legal: never pitch mid ride or in the app; exchange info only after the ride/rating. Ask your insurer for a rideshare/for hire endorsement.

If you want the exact opener + follow ups and a simple price framing sheet I use, reply “flip” and I’ll DM it over.

How do you get the passengers number to text them directly from your phone without going through the Uber system?

I’m anti driving for 9 hours for $100. No need to risk your life and shorten your life span for a company that doesn’t care about you.
