- In this episode, I chat with Dillon Wagner about starting his own rideshare company! We actually have an article all about starting your own rideshare company, but many people still reach out about the process, so in this episode, I offered Dillon a consulting call - and this is the result! We go over everything you should consider when starting a rideshare company, including insurance, messaging, differentiation and much more.

New Rideshare company?
Sounds great.
Just make is simple.
6 catagories.
X, XL, Lux, Lux XL, Black, Black XL
Fares: Starts $2.25/mile, $2.75/mile, $5.25/mile,$5.75/mile, $6 25/mile and $6.75/mile respectively.
Add 15 percent for you. Fare will be doubled if driver goes to other jurisdiction.
Don't follow the fuc**ng Uber or Lyft s policies.
This business will last for ever.
Let's all live good.
Dropped out of college. Check.
To become a real estate agent. Check.
Without a real estate license yet. Check.
In meantime, launch rideshare company for college students. Check.
No personal experience as rideshare driver? Check.
Business model/plan? "Cheaper & faster than uber and we're going to use unicorn drivers." Check.
Harry has to try to explain the economics of rideshare to this guy. Check.
Aforementioned explanation cleanly goes over head. Check.
Yeah, this venture is on track for success.
Wonderful analysis. Check.
1:13:00 "Get a Sprinter van. Drive around campus. Take people to philadelphia, atlantic city, wherever they want to go. You can charge $3, $4, $5 a head. 11-12 people you can put in a sprinter van, you can make a $100 bucks." Yeah, he actually said all that.
Top 2 pieces of advice Dillon needs:
#1) Beg, borrow, buy, rent, whatever you have to do, a minivan. Sign up with Uber & Lyft as a driver. Put in a minimum of a month driving XL full time, in and around college campuses and the weekend bar/club spots popular with the students.
#2) Get a business mentor, like YESTERDAY.
Best of luck…. I hope it’s successful
Uber drivers have to be 21 yrs old or older.........if they hire college students to drive, good luck... full coverage car insurance for college drivers is deeply expensive
Good Luck and hope your very successful in your future. Remember one thing be very fair to your drivers. 70/30 split drivers/wag is a fair. you'll got a lot of drivers to drive for you.
driving down the street + entertaining backseat passengers equals car accidents, distracted driving, and driving lost
What is the exact first step to do after knowing your niche. What kind of license and insurance i need to open a business just like uber
Hello, I wanna work for Yellow Cab but I cannot afford to have my own car or pay for lease for the company's car. What should I do?
Support. You need a viable Support department. Not even Uber has that.
Good luck. Let me know if you do
also, trying to hold conversations with strangers, I I have offended many people. I never got 5 stars
65% for Uber and 35% Driver and sometimes your tip gets stolen
You’re right and that is so on.
Add food. More money in food imo
Medical as a side branch too🤫
I’d be interested.
25K? WTF? seriously
I spent 200 on chauffeur theme and wordpress plugin
Hope you find some people who have actually BEEN in the business. Ha ha
Come on Harry, tell the truth. You're changing the format to doing parody videos now? Aren't you?
