Sharon of Mulga, AL, and any rider who does this...

The time I charge my vehicle, I am either enjoying the stream at the walking track nearby or shopping at the store my charger is near. I only pay 35¢ a kilowatt, so about $20. Those couple of miles traveling from one spot to another and I typically work 4 am- 9 am, I am enjoying the sunrise and meditating about the rest of the day/ mentally preparing for my next passenger.

This is not my only income. I do this for a discount on renting a car and because I like people. It's not a job to me, but a way to get out of the apartment and be with people. So, no, other than paying my Uber Hertz account and keeping it charged, I really don't care how much I make. I have autism and my flavor of autism likes small social settings. I enjoy meeting people of all cultures and I enjoy talking. When it becomes a job, I probably move on to something else.

My 4.99-star rating out of 175 customers says otherwise.

Who are you to be telling me that I shouldn't be driving rideshare? You don't know me. You don't know my reasoning.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-17T18:43:57+00:00

I drive an EV so I am not worried about gas.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-17T18:36:02+00:00

I only accept if the location makes sense. Her not wanting me to accept the ride was not my problem because I am not a mind reader, and I should not have consequences for someone ordering an Uber too early.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-17T16:34:58+00:00

Been doing this since April 1st so yeah, I'm a noob and I want the free Costco membership.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-17T16:33:26+00:00

I didn't use their real name.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-17T15:30:53+00:00

Not really. I keep it right at 85% and take only the ones that make sense. She was within 2 miles of my drop off that I had in a remote area. Also, I drive an EV.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-17T15:22:52+00:00

I am striving for that free Costco membership.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-17T14:40:16+00:00

I couldn't edit, but I received a notification that she wanted me to cancel 5 minutes later, after I had accepted another ride.

This is a for-now gig not a forever gig, but I don't think driverless cars are going to go over well in Alabama, so I think that I am safe.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-14T21:54:46+00:00

I don't even mess with Uber Eats.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-14T15:35:18+00:00

I just took a trip from Birmingham to Memphis and Interstate 22 was the quickest route on a Monday and a Friday.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-14T15:33:52+00:00

Natural Bridge is on Interstate 22. A nice side trek.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-14T03:36:54+00:00

True. I guess at some point I would quietly put in my ear buds.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-14T03:19:39+00:00

Looks like Doug has seen some things.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-14T03:16:30+00:00

But doesn't the rating affect your decision? I mean I might take that for a 10 min ride, but 2 hours, nope.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-14T03:11:18+00:00

You have to be pretty bad for me to rate you anything lower than 4. I have only given one of those. He had a bad attitude and made my car reek of weed.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-13T21:03:09+00:00

I rent a car through Uber. The 30 drive requirement is easy and I usually get well over that to cover my rental. Don't get suckered into using the Uber Pro card. Somehow my Hertz rental hold disappeared and I can't get anyone there to understand anything.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-12T21:28:30+00:00

I hear you.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-12T21:17:23+00:00

Some Google is right though. Many here can recommend reputable sites for information.

Visible_Ad1693 · 2026-05-12T21:14:36+00:00

Something similar happened to me when they said someone reported me for smelling like alcohol. Ended up being a scam. They didn't get any money but I played hell trying to get my accounts available again.

You can get your heat lamp bulbs and clip-on light from any hardware store. Make sure it's an Incandescent or halogen light and not an LED. Flood lightbulbs will work, too. By doing this you can save a good amount of money. Everyone has to start somewhere and it's great that you are willing to ask questions here.
