Don't scoff at this one - you can actually make serious money driving for Uber. A few hundred bucks in just one weekend, if you are smart about how you approach it. Here are my 3 main tips to maximize your earnings:
Drive during peak hours. Usually between 6pm-2am on weekends. You'll be busy, but that's what you want. Go above and beyond to give your riders a great experience - this will increase your tips Have a spotless interior that also smells clean. Especially late at night, ALWAYS offer up the AUX cord. Downtown bar hoppers love the AUX cord. Get to know your passengers. Make small talk. Have water and/or snacks on board. Bring a vomit bag (better to be safe than sorry) Drive safe and go the speed limit. Secret tip: Carry change for a $20. You’d be surprised how many more tips you get this way.
