You might have heard of Uber in the news lately as a couple of their drivers were arrested at airports in San Francisco and New York. This was not because of bad drivers, but because the taxi lobbies are trying to fight to prevent their business from being taken by these new startups.
Uber is basically a company that allows anyone to become a driver (after a background-check and other checks) using their own car to pick and drop off people. With Uber, it's a bit more professional and classy and you have to own a fairly nice black sedan or SUV to become a driver. We're talking BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Lincoln Town Car, Cadillac, etc.
You can earn a good amount of money as an Uber driver considering it's an upscale clientele. A 34-minute ride from the Dallas airport to my home would cost me about
$120 for an Uber black car. For a black SUV, you're looking at $180. A couple of trips like that in a day and you can make yourself some good money.
