@@LakTube it's a con job! You just haven't thought it through! The next time you do an airport trip see how much you got, then workout the time it took from accept to finish, the amount of petrol, the sitting in wait area , time to next trip you will be lucky to have made $18 hr,after you deduct the toll,petrol ,, time , then there's the tolls to pickup,plus enroute, more petrol from first trip to last it's probably taken 1.5_ 2 hrs it might look like you made money but it has been eaten up in expenses and tolls and time , maybe you like to waste time in a sunbaked car park! If the wheels ain't turn your not earning! ..,🤣👍
It’s a fair summation of a day in the life of an Australian city Uber driver. I commenced doing it back in Sept 2023. Income levels are spasmodic and in the end I concluded it’s not worth the financial effort or risk. The costs involved are stacked against the owner driver. Uber clips a hefty % off each fair plus booking fee. They just announced a reduction in driver rates in order to ‘attract more customers’ but no mention of them reducing their fee structure.
After driving for 9 months, although it's true I can make $2000 per week but the cost of wear and tear on my car is tremendous. The risk of getting fined in NSW is always never impossible. Most kerbside pick up and drop off has no stopping sign. If u are unlucky a council ranger can take photo and u don't even know it until the fines come to you in 2 weeks. The GST quarterly, taxes are high, depreciation of car, the mileage hits all time high, costs of service and maintenance of car, /it's true you don't make much. The figure looks big, there is no other benefits from uber . It's not worth driving for Uber. Much better working full time in a bank or corporate work.
Don't just look at the surface of how big the figure earning from uber, the hidden costs of uber driving. The more you drive the more kilometres you clock up on your car, the more you pay on taxes, maintenance, service, repair,replacement of anything, GST and taxes. The more you drive the mre you are expose not only the risks of driving but the risks of fines for minorl traffic offences with big $$$ fine ticket. As human we are bound to make mistakes. End of day, you earn less than what you actually think!!!! /
ive hit really hard times and annoyingly this summary is so bleak. great vid. cheeky question. can you do it again but do peak times for a week so we can get a gauge of the current market pls? also, are you renting the tesla? how much is that?
Thank you so much for your great video. How can I get information regarding charges on tesla cars, such as annual registration fee, taxes and other costs I haven't mentioned.
I am an Uber driver in Mexico, the best advice I can give you is to use several apps when using several devices at the same time. I do not recommend waiting in the airport area. Get out of the area
@@mirzaharisbaig7083 yes I agree , I worked out that it cost me $ 12 hr for a 40 hr wk, just for the car to be on road? Then tax , ,toll account , even though you get the toll in fare, ubers already taxed it 27.5 % no
I used to drive 40+ hr wk to average $1400 , now i make on average between 1000/ 1300 for 30 hrs wk in brisbane, ive cut my petrol expenses by two thirds, my toll account by 90% 😊😊😊😊 . de-stressed the driving experience dramatically , eat at home for all meals, i avoid the drunks, druggies, and the great unwashed!😂 ,get plenty of sleep and spare time . Rethink how you drive, take back control.😂😂😂😂 STAY SAFE!❤❤❤❤
You got to remember, once you have completed more trips and maintain a high rating, you would be the preferred driver for uber and you will get lots of jobs.
not true, i have been a perfect 5.0 for over a year and always maintained a high rating and others often do better. I do drive peak hours and core areas but ratings do not matter. If they did all the other drivers with poor ratings might leave due to poor earnings.
Its only human, you cannot avoid the mistakesvu make while driving and get fines no matter how careful u can be. These fines are not cheap. If you rent a car, your toll figure in one month is around $250 to $300. You can be rated badly for no reason. Your ratings will affect how many jobs and promtion you get. Yes you can make good money, the number of kilometres you run up your car quickly depreiates your car by 50%, the GST and financial year end taxes you must take that into consideration. Its better iff with a full time job
i liked how honest your experience was. also insurance premiums have gone up drastically in the last few years epcifially for rideshare. a much higher chance of accident as well
I'm on a forum with 60,000 Australian Tesla owners. Battery replacement is VERY, rare. There are many people on this forum who've travelled 200,000km or over. There are also several people who've travelled over 500,000kms. The batteries have barely degraded let alone needed replacing. These distances are further than most owners do in a car's lifetime.
What you are saying is not in sync with what feedback I got personally talking to few Uber drivers.. They say they do make decent money... around $200+ a day for working 8hrs approx.
And you are electric, imagine petrol when we are being charged 27% ,Have you checked how much Uber charged to your riders? When you know it, you will quit 😡
You can sort the tax situation by switching to an unincorporated community association business structure that’s tax exempt. Petrol by hybrid electric car Tolls chuck out tolls it’s illegal anyways.
I did uber driving for many years. Never wait at the airport!
why tho? thats where you get more high paying rides?!?

EV's are rubbish. Lots of problems. Don't waste your time

you need to subtract (INSURANCE CAR PAYMENT DEPRECISAION TAXES OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE ) than you can see your real income

Which Toll tag is best for Uber driver in NSW? Do we have to apply for a regular one or we have to apply Bussiness Toll Tag for the Uber??
i use etoll works everywhere.
Don't pander for the beast. It can be a fair side hustle, but most markets can't even come close to breaking even.
that is so true!
$ 22 per hru is to low
You dont mention redlight cameras, tolls and speed cameras. After tolls and petrol profit is very gery low
It’s a Tesla there is no fuel. Tolls are refunded and for speed and red lights just don’t speed or run a red light?
Which driving record to order there are two driving record..

This comment is rubbish
BS, THIS IS A UBER CONTEL AGENT COMMENT.
Absolute ass
Great informative video!
thank you!
Un consiglio per tutti: usate i taxi locali. Boicottate queste multinazionali che sfruttano le persone.
113 - 10 % Gst = ~ 100 / 6 = 16.75 what a great income !

good report well presented
thanks mate :)
Good topic, well presented. Do you also consider tax, Uber take & super?
i am glad you liked it! i didn’t and yes super and tax are things which need to be considered straight after your earnings
@@LakTubehow does the tax or super thing works for uber ?? Got no idea what to do for tax or how it works could U please give me some info
what is your city and how many rides you get daily?? and how long you have to wait for a ride??
Gold Coast don't wait next before trip ends usually 11 to 16 week days 5 hours
Sydney Australia. Waiting 10-15 minutes on average
@@SteveHoffmann wtf are you talking about, your sentence doesn't make any sense
you are a positive person, good luck!
thanks mate
Hey brother can you tell me what nice time with Uber Sydney ipayd Tesla an I’m work more 12 hours ifind just 290 or 250

Hi man is there Uber office in Australia ?
No they got rid of them when Covid hit
Thank you for the video brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice video mate …
After 3 years all your earning directly goes to Tesla battery replacement 😂😂😂
you never know ahaha
A driver in Perth Wa did 168 000 km in one year , had to change battery on his own as Tesla voided the warranty.
@@vardanvardanyan640he should make an ACL claim, no way that is legal

Go read “rich dad poor dad” dude
i didnt know that was also a thing WOW!
You will make more money driving a taxi
I am new here in Sydney and I just got the license. I am
Thinking to try to be Uber driver now and I am kinda scared and excited to start.
Same
Remember this was his first day, once you get a rating and experienced and learn all the tricks of where to be what time it probably gets better.
How did you go ?
uber eats good
Parking is a big problem in inner city areas though.
I expect to be busy all the time and mostly am
What city?
@alanvan6109 gold coast
might be the tourists@@SteveHoffmann
@chorcor888 no mostly locals over halve house to house
Thats amazing for GC!
Garbage
Can I drive Uber on uk license in Australia?
Nope
only Uber eats
Yes but only 3 months
I went to transport dept. Show uk licence and get Australian licence
I honestly wish Uber would get out of the Australian market. It is destroying this country.
Why do you say that?
@@32843s someone in their family must be a taxi driver who used to earn a lot before Uber came along and provided a better service
below min wage underwhelming and sad
i know right
