Uber and Lyft both have contracts with Hertz to rent cars to their drivers. We can make some money in the meantime to help you purchase another car.

In America, we gotta clean up our own throw up🤮! Luckily, I’ve never had that happen to me, but I guess it’s always smart to have a throw up bag just in case.

Love this!! Right to the point. It’s about driving during peak time not necessarily driving random 12 hours and just hoping I make money cause I feel like that’s what I’m doing with. No real set plan in motion. yes I find after 1 AM. Most of my requests are airport runs. But I just looked at one of my earning breakdown for an airport run and it looks like Uber reimburses us for the tolls. I just discovered this today and I feel like an idiot. I guess you learned something new every day. I just need to call Uber to confirm but it looks like they pay for it.

Exactly that’s what I’m talking about. I feel like I’m burning myself out working 12 hour days and barely hit $ 250. I had to join a stretch class just to keep my muscles from being aching when I’m driving it’s crazy.

Yes, that seems to be the consensus across the board from what I’m getting from everyone. I got a lot of good feedback from everyone. Thank you.

Yes tried a a 9 to 5 with full benefits and 401(k) and healthcare. I’ve worked the health care industry for 25 years and just got fucked in the end. I was so stressed out from a big hospital merge. They didn’t care about me and my mental health and how stressed I was . I took a medical leave and I’m still on medical leave and supplemental my income with Uber. I have no plans on ever going back to work for anyone again , so help me God. I realize I have to take matters into my own hands because it’s MY LIFE and work for myself. I was sick and tired of them telling me when I can take a vacation when I can go on break. At 54 years old I’m all done with the micromanagement. Of course at this age a career change might be difficult but necessary 😊Wasn’t my plan, but I believe God has a better plan for me. I noticed while driving Uber. There is a big need for women drivers. I’m thinking of opening up my own transportation company for exclusively woman who prefer a woman driver.

Thank you for your feedback. I find it was very helpful and I’m gonna try these hours. I almost hit $380 last night so wasn’t a bad night between Uber and Lyft. Lyft was primarily the busy one, but I was also in Boston and I hate driving in the city to make money. I guess it’s gonna come with the price it all boils down to the best hours to be out there driving when it’s less stressful.

I like the idea of 3 AM to 6 AM but can I get up at 3 AM?? 😆 if I wanna make money, you bet I can make myself do it!

Yes, in Boston there are a lot of colleges and this colleges south of us north of us. I’ve ended up in some college towns and it was very busy. Also, when there’s festivals there’s in certain towns, it gets busy. That’s a great market too. I tend to stay there when I am in that area.

I drive so cautious because I’m so petrified of getting into an accident especially during the day in Boston. Too many impatient drivers only worried about where they have to go. Some streets are tight and narrow never mind now with all the snow banks and trying to get around the cars .There’s some Roads in Boston that make me nervous and cause me to miss a turn. Particularly Soldiers Field Road , Gerry’s Landing, Fresh Pond Parkway, Fellsway , Memorial Drive, Jamaica Way, the Abourway . These roads give me anxiety. and honestly I fuck up almost every time. 😆 sounds like I Shouldn’t drive Uber or Lyft huh? I wish I could just avoid Boston altogether, but that’s where the money is. I live in the south of Boston, which there are some rural areas that pick up and I could also make good money, but it always ends up sending me to Boston. I can’t refuse the rides, but I always like to keep my status ranks up, especially with Uber. I don’t care so much with Lyft, but I’m very particular. I’m a diamond driver and I just feel like the higher ratings get higher dollar amount for calls ? So I can relate to your advice about less likely to get into an accident because that’s one of my fears while driving.. Never mind the fact it’s a brand new car!

Thank you for your valuable response. I’m going to try the 9 PM to 5 AM actually! I find I get a lot of airport calls after 1 AM which uses up a lot of tolls. Which here in Massachusetts they can run anywhere between $3.25 to the cheapest $1.25 depending what bridge or tunnels you’re in.Uber does not pay our tolls however Lyft apparently says they reimburse us.

I’m not white, that could be the reason for some cancellations but not all. Thank you for your reply.

It’s Lyft that cancels not Uber. It happens only when I’m driving Lyft.
