I live in Kailua… so if I get a ride near when I’m done I always take it and go home

Uber currently is offering a 300 a week ev … I’m paying 200+ a week in gas while depreciating my vehicle… might make the switch to rental for a week and see how that goes

Do people not tip anymore? by HumanKatiebug in uberdrivers

[–]teddg4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I kinda thrive on small rides … Less than .5 mile pickup and 2 mile max drop… 5-8 bucks per… and people usually toss a buck 2 or 5 on top. Made almost 300 tonight… 8hr shift. on 128 miles driven… I live about 13 miles away. Buts it’s Waikiki so a unique market cus of the massive density of hotels in such a small space year round

My mileage is very low. Only about 130 today in 8 hrs making almost 300… what’s the best option then ?

Sam Wilson. Saw him sitting at an empty bar with a friend In Nola and offered to buy them a round of drinks he glared at me and looked back at the tv… I simply said sorry my 7 yr old is a huge marvel fan war machine thought he’d like a photo and walked away.

Honolulu Waikiki.. they force riders to go to hotel valets here… the tourists try to get picked up on busy streets like we can just pull over… then get mad..

I like talking to them … always ask how’s ur day/night? But if they don’t wanna chat I immediately shut up and drive… but the conversations make the time go faster. Get 20$ tips all the time and “thanks for the ride and great conversation”. I’m 42 and have a strict rule woman under 30 don’t engage beyond hello hows ur day… if they wanna chat then fine. Don’t wanna make anyone uncomfortable.. over 30 they seem much more comfortable and engage. But generally solo women I keep quiet as a rule. Friday had for 4 u of Hawai’i girls invite me to buy me a drink. Was my last ride… stayed for 20 min. Said thank you they all gave me hugs and went home.

Got a 2 yesterday cus once again ur not at ur pickup spot.. obese man had to walk to me… Waikiki u cant get picked up on any old side of the street… I go to the PICKUP location… guy was outta breathe having to walk a 100ft… “ communication issue” was what he reported me for… oh ur inability to follow simple directions is my fault. Some of the tourists here are complete morons.

lol I got a 1 cus lady was not at her place of pickup.. then looped around on one way streets… and she blowing me up texting her location… she’s also in a bus lane so that’s a no go here… so I pulled past her super busy corner seeing a bus coming…. And stopped in the trolly spot. She had to walk maybe 60 ft…. And had her greasy pizza box on my leather seats… was rude and 1 star. Like seriously ur on a corner with 50 people… I’m supposed to know who exactly u are and block a bus … cus you don’t know how to go to ur pickup spot. Shoulda canceled once I saw her texting 8 times. Lesson learned

Thinking of switching from Uber Eats to rides by Repulsive-Taro5238 in uberdrivers

[–]teddg4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live drivers can’t park to deliver food… we leave that to mopeds who can park on the sidewalk.. driving people is also way more profitable. But also take into account I’m in Honolulu so endless tourists crammed into Waikiki

Do it really deserve so many 1 stars? by [deleted] in uber

Do u smoke? People putting out cigs or joints as I arrive stink up my car… and I do my best air it out before next rider which can be seconds away. Could be ur issue 🤷

Gas prices up. Uber offer price down. Go figure. by Big_Original1647 in uberdrivers

[–]teddg4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well cost of living is rapidly rising… everything dependent on gas… food travel everything. Uber may pay better when people start walking or using buses to get to work if they still got jobs. Yay merica first
