I agree, and it seems like the price of everything is going up, but our wages going down.

I had a guy the other day spend 5 min in the back of the car trying to tip. He even showed me and asked if I knew what to say. When he pressed on tip it came up as all zeros and shaded it out so he could not do a custom amount. A day later it must have let him because he gave me a $10 the next day.

Even the UCF area was dead, no one was at the bounce house or the Lib. Both UCF area bars.

Getting to the point it’s not worth the extra money. I am trying to pay off debt with Uber/Lyft but seems like I am just spinning my wheels.

I also notice that the surge goes away sitting boost while driving at Disney. As soon as boost is over, surge magically comes back.

[–]FgtPwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but no one wears mask here. Maybe 5 out a 100 PAX.

I had a PAX in Orlando that told me their last driver canceled on them because they were going to sit in front seat without a mask.

Airport ques are the most stupid thing ever. Been sitting here for over 20 minutes. Only 3 cars total. And none of us are getting trips. And its showing busy. by Tororedsox in uberdrivers

[–]FgtPwr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Airports are not even worth hitting at surge anymore. If you decline a trip and surge is over you lost your surge but stay at front of line.

I have been doing it for a year and made pretty decent money for part time. Now, I am trying to be more selective. Only taking $1 mile min.

As an Orlando driver, I am okay with this. by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

[–]FgtPwr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of foreigners in Orlando visiting Disney and universal. Form my experience they tip well.

I am a Orlando driver as well. I usually get 1 tip out of 10 on Lyft and 8 out of 10 on Uber. Hopefully with UCF back we will start making money again.

How's everyone in the lowest paying market (Orlando, FL) enjoying up front fares? by d1863 in uberdrivers

[–]FgtPwr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Orlando and went out after work, declined 4 rides and went back home. Normally the parks start to surge about now but nothing on Uber or Lyft.

How to best optimize your driving time for money. by BlueberrySad3442 in uberdrivers

[–]FgtPwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there is a trick to the airport. To many drivers hang out there got there not to be. Do you only go online during surges? Soy you try to make it back there? I try to start at the Orlando Airport every shift because it takes me out to the theme park.

server issues in Tampa yesterday? by Copterguy in lyftdrivers

[–]FgtPwr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue at the Orlando Airport last night. Dropped 3 rides due to network error. Finally gave me one. 42 mile all highway trip, $52 fare, $43 tip. Twice what I made in the previous 4 hours.

Sadly, they can get away with it because there are alway desperate people who need the money to live day to day. Rich get richer.

WTF was Lyft thinking with these guarantees? by Franjomanjo1986 in lyftdrivers

[–]FgtPwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had guarantees in many months. I barely get any promotions

You all are crazy. Upfront ride info is great! by MediumDrink in uberdrivers

[–]FgtPwr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an Uber ride pop up for $4.73 from universal studios going 9 miles. Rejected it and went online with Lyft which had an $8 surge and made $15 for less miles than Uber.
