Let me just say that this video should be used directly by Uber for the Hertz rental program on their website/help forums. Love this entire video man. You made it very professional and plus If you are looking to rent with hertz for uber this is the best and direct info. Thanks bro.
Thanks for watching and wow, I really appreciate all of your feedback! Please let me know if there are other topics you'd like my to make videos about! :)
As of 2019, Hertz-Uber does NOT allow drivers to participate in other promotional offers like Boost and Quest while renting. Uber will provide $215 for every 120 trips which makes the rental free where you keep 100.1% of your earnings - this makes the rental cost -$1 (Hertz rental is $214). Uber saw that Drivers were making alot of money on the Rentals and did away with the promo's. So the $992 Boost Ezra made in ONE week for 162 trips while renting, is gone and instead they are offering an alternative of $215 per 120 trips. So Uber seems to be taking advantage of drivers because this sucks!!!!
Thanks for the links, Father willing, I'm about to rent a car and start working, and not whining like most of the negative comment's, lol , great info, Shalom..
Lone Petersen I'm in Denver. You gotta know your city try different times. If I work between 6am-9am that's $10 an hr. 10am-1pm is $14 an hr. 1-6pm is $10. 6pm-6am is 18 an hr. on weekdays. $21 an hr is pretty much a guarantee if you work weekends. Just got to know when and where to work.
Great video sounds like a winner. Hope all Uber drivers has same weekly $2,500.00 gross take home just like you . Plus your car rental is a great deal$204.00 per week...insurance cover by both companies and no need to worry about car repair.... 10 hours a day 6 days a week $25.00 per hour only negative is that you do not get over time pay after working 40 hours and no health benefit.
Thanks for this great informational video. Very helpful and gives me some insight as to what it takes. I want to learn everything I need to know before I get into the business. I am planning on buying a second car to dedicate it to the business and since I know how to perform all basic maintenance it would safe me lots of money both by not paying rental or basic maintenance services. Your spread sheets is a great idea as it'll be a great way to know when I made or lost money. - Hello from Chaska Minnesota
Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the feedback, Dairys! You have definitely done your homework and I think your approach makes a lot of sense! Please let me know if there's anything I can help with or if you'd like to see any specific topics covered in the future :)
maybe i should make some videos to show dark side of uber unlike these promoters because there are other things to know beside these fancy pipe dreams :)))
Nice income, but driving more than 40 hrs a week and driving more than 10 hrs a day is a burn out. Notice you get Referral Reward each week, how many referrals do you give out per week? On average many drivers don`t give out referrals, too many drivers out there. I don`t do referrals. You got to have a life. I only do 10- 12 rides a day and spend 5 hours at most per day. I think Uber should be only a supplemental Income. I`m Retired and I want to enjoy life and not drive so much. I must say that $200 plus per week is expensive. I`m happy just making few hundred dollars per week and spend time with friends and family. If you have to get a car, buy your own and pay lower payments per month. How much gas do you spend per week?
Rideshare rentals are for folks who are going to drive a lot of miles every week so not a good solution for you. I don't discuss the referral earnings as part of my income in the video because I know that most drivers will not get referrals. I just want to show what's possible with hard work and lots of driving
you're not wrong... the rates are lower and there's a lot less surge than there was in 2016 - that's the big thing. in 2014-2016, it would surge to 3x in LA at some time almost every day. now i only see that on New Year's Eve, etc...
To rent? Probably not. But weekend rentals seem to be available in some markets, in which case, it might work for you. I'd recommend you contact support and ask about weekend rentals
Thanks for posting this video! I have decided to start driving for Lyft & Uber mad found your information very helpful. Would you happen to know what the sign on bonuses are in the Hampton Roads (Virginia) market? Thank you for your time!
Thanks Ezra for the new motivation. I drive with a Hertz rental in LA and just found out that the promo for me is over. Bummed. So I will be pouring on the hustle to make up for the rental reimbursement.
You were able to get the promo recently? That's good! I never got it unfortunately. How are things going? I know it's a really slow time in LA through the next few weeks so I hope you're doing ok :)
Thanks for video. What I have done instead that. I bought a very cheap car last year. A 2015 mitsubishi mirage with 30000 mileas on it in great condition.I Purchased 7500 $ for my car. So it's already cheap and also new and I am not worry about loosing that much money on car's value. I thought it is a better Idea ibstead renting car.
Yes! That is the best way to approach this business - buy an affordable car that is reliable and nice enough to not HURT your ratings. Then drive it a lot and get all of that mileage deduction on your taxes. Do you agree? Lots of people don't the means to purchase a car which is why these rentals are popular
Just be sure it's clean and like new, and mechanically safe and sound. That's it! Have a Mechanic run a diagnostic before buying. $100. And if the seller is not good with that KEEP looking! Happy LYFTING! LYFT RULES!
mitchell I dont trust any of these uber videos that show how much people make because I have been doing it 2 years and I do not make nearly that .. I am not hating but until I know hes not an employee just to get people signed up im not believing this crap ... 2500 in one week .. 1700 in referall and boosts .. sounds too good to be true
Thanks for watching!! Specifically for this rental, I believe I could write off the gas and rental fees, car washes and other expenses, but not the mileage. My CPA took care of it, so I'm not 100% sure.
if boost isn't in your area and you're not driving XL then it's like impossible to make money with Uber. lol. I can't stand these channels that make all this money and try to get people to believe it's possible and sign up with them. notice a lot of their earnings are from referrals. also from boost. driving makes money but if you can't get boost, or even surge, might as well forget about it.
I've never driven XL and I've been able to earn decent money doing this. As far as Boost, it's something you have to take advantage of if it's in your city. If it's not, there are usually other strategies that can help profitability. If you watched the video, you'd know I went over the specifics of how I earn what I do and I also stressed that this was the result of a lot of planning and hard work. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
This shows you that Uber, like many things, is just a platform. Some people will make zero dollar with it and others 50K a year pre tax. It depends on a lot of factor but your hard work and skills pay off. Good for you.
Hey I know this is last minute but I had a question . At the moment I'm doing Uber eats on a motorcycle but I just got a car and I was wondering would I have to create a new account for Uber to drive ; or could I use my original one .
Great question! Here in California, Uber allows you to drive anywhere in the state. But in some cities and states, regulations vary. I've heard Hillsborough County (Tampa area) is tougher on driver requirements.... I think it would be best to ask the rental company or your local Uber support about where you're allowed to drive exactly...
Great info as I travel back and forth between San Francisco and Los Angeles often. Do you know where I can find out if the regulations vary between these two cities? Thanks again for the information! You are extremely helpful! :)
You said you can see what "specials" are going on in all cities? How does that work? How do I look that up? I'm in Houston , TX. Seems we never have any specials going on here, or Boost that I know of. What say you?
By renting a car, aren't you subjecting yourself to drastically higher taxes? Any car you own you can take your standard deduction per mile. 4k miles means you can deduct around 2500 vs 600. By owning you can even leave about 400 a month budget in repairs. Actual is no where near that much. Especially for a 7k car. To me, I have no idea why one would rent.
Okay Genius, what's the total cost (taxes and fees not included)? In Austin they say $214 per week, fees and taxes extra. When is the bonus program coming to Austin? Can I put the deposit on a credit card ( just like when you rent a car) and pay the weekly fee on a debit? If you are a Genius, you should be able to answer these questions without telling me to visit Hertz or Uber's website. Not trying to be snarky, but you can't find the answers to these questions anywhere. The morons at the Uber Greenlight didn't even know. They told me to visit Hertz and guess what Hertz told me? Yep, talk to Uber! You're the first person that said you need to have the deposit and first week with you when you sign up. If you can't answer these questions you need to change your name!
HI!! It's not possible. You won't be able to get the vehicle added to your Uber account without the registration and insurance under your name. I like the idea though! LOL. There are some options though... lots of big cities have private fleet owners who rent out cars to drivers - you could go that route and get a rental car set up with multiple apps.
Lyft Express Car Rental is making me sick. The carpet is so dirty but it's black so you can't tell and they won't exchange cars until my 28-day renewal. I pay at the $243 a week for this car I expect to clean car and a good one.
Chepito one thing I don't see in all this videos is taxes IRS, city Social Sec. medicare, none of this videos mention taxes, by not doing it is a false I mprestion of the earning 5,000 dlls. At 30 at! % that's 1.500. dollars in taxes for IRS.
Why would u rent a car to drive they sent me a offer for 300$ a week I laughed 1200$ for something vyou will never own also most people don't make 1200$ week please very misleading
Boost gone. Referrals gone. Promos gone. Pay amount over the past 3 years, exponentially lowered, passenger volume, nearly obliterated and non-exisistent. Rental car rates, higher than 3 years ago.
Hi... great video! Very informative.. I'm in New Jersey... I want to rent and drive for uber! So all together around what will I have to pay weekly in total! The rental and the uber fee.. they take out 20% right?
There are people renting cars on Craigslist for rideshare specifically. Just search the cars and trucks for sale section and look for cars for rent. They have full insurance and everything turns out cheaper than all these companies
The highest I ever made and this is in Connecticut. I made 1250.00 that was the most I made with my 2009 Hyundai sonata. Boost not available in the part of Connecticut where I live. It does surge but when I'm near or around and this was multiple times and once in a blue i get surge pricing.I think they purposely put out surges to just bring drivers back to the area.I have 20,000 miles on my car.I have not made 20,000.I only made a little over $11,000. So pretty much im at a loss. Your making money like that I need to move to your area. Cause I never seen 2,500 weeks.
I'm not sure $2500 is possible. I worked a ton that week and I made $1700+ from driving. $750 was from referral rewards which I was transparent about...
I'm really interested in renting for either Uber or Lyft to see how it goes. Just moving and getting out of a 5yr relationship.. so I can definitely work a lot. Im about 45 minutes outside of Pittsburgh Pa. In the Aliquippa and Beaver county are. Hope it's not too far outside. If I can make 500$ a week. Every week. I can get by.
Unfortunately, the programs generally don't allow for that. If you are renting through the Uber program, they don't want you to be helping Lyft's business and vice versa...
Is it possible for you to do a video on your strategy? I would love to know where and what times you position yourself to make the most money even without the referral fees. I do plan on signing up with Uber through your link, is it possible to still contact you for advice before I sign up? I won't be able to start driving until May/June. Thanks in advance!
I will be driving in Los Angeles. Are you doing XL or Select? Did the rates decrease? I would like to know the best times and areas to drive. Thanks you are awesome!
UBER Hertz Rental Car program is horrible here in Atlanta, you have to go Hertz/uber website reserve a car, you must put reservation date on April 2018 or after, and you have text that information to them and they gonna put you for waiting list, believe me, you never get a call.
Thanks for the very informative video. A friend of mine told me to find a Hertz dealership in L.A. county instead of O.C. because its much cheaper. Is this true?
For the Uber/Hertz rentals, you're covered. Commercial insurance is not required. Uber's policy covers you while doing Uber trips and Hertz's policy provides the coverage during personal use.
Uber Hertz rentals programs a nightmares here in Atlanta bro! I called them & they never answered the phone 📱 they didn’t have any car 🚗 for rental so we’re on waiting list forever! Horrible bro!
Does your car insurance know you're ridesharing, or using your car for commercial purposes? I'm just asking cause my insurance found out, not that I was keeping it a secret, just didn't know it would be an issue since Lyft has their own insurance. Unfortunately now they want to kick me off. *smh*
Insurance is still an issue for some folks. A lot more companies are offering rideshare plans, but some are still against the idea. The Rideshare Guy has a great insurance page I recommend checking out - therideshareguy.com/rideshare-insurance-options-for-drivers/
The biggest problem with these rental programs is the insurance...The full coverage is only in effect while you are signed in to the allowed rideshare platform (You are either on an active trip or on your way to pickup or you are online)... Any damages to the interior or exterior of the vehicle .... you are personally responsible for, Unless your insurance offers full coverage for commercial rental and most will not.. so, say if a customer throws up in your vehicle drags snow or water into a vehicle(I realize that you can get the rideshare company to charge the customer for the cleaning/damage fees etc., sometimes your customer may lie and accuse you of fabricating said allegations) , You will be responsible for returning the vehicle in the same condition it was in when you picked it up regardless of how your request to be compensated for damages caused by the customer is ultimately handled. Someone ( totals, scratches or in any way damages) your rented car while parked on the street.. you're responsible for the damage. So keep these situations in mind before you decide to rent...
It’s true that you’re responsible for the car and riders could certainly mess it up. But remember a few things - 1. If a rider damages or dirties the car, you can request a cleaning fee 2. The rental company is not going to go over the car with a magnifying glass when you return it. They are just happy if there are no dents or scratches. I did something like 500 trips with this car and collected a few cleaning fees along the way and they didn’t complain when I returned the car
Thanks for making such a helpfull vedio.I wanted to ask if this program is available in Canada too or just in the United States? I asked because we have Hertz rental here in Canada too. Thank you
I did! Because I know the Uber price multiplier (surge of boost) in advance of accepting a ride, I find I can leverage that info to earn more than with Lyft, which only discloses Prime Time amounts after the ride is over. More info on that here - th-cam.com/video/yFfSKe2T2SM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, Dennis! From what I can tell, Hertz now processes all of the rental payments. You can always call the branch directly to confirm. Here's some fine print from Hertz :) www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/index.jsp?targetPage=UberFAQs.jsp
Rideshare Genius thanks for the reply. yeah i was just wondering cause i was not given any info by uber or hertz. was just curious if hertz takes the payment from the creditcard on file or directly from my uber earnings
I was reading up on the Lyft rental, they charge for personal miles used. So trying to do both Lyft and Uber at the same like most drivers are doing, might be possible, but you'll be paying for the personal miles every time you turn off the Lyft app to pick up an Uber customer. That's my theory anyway. The car may not even be approved to use for both Rideshares, because it's a rental. Anyway, my question: since the personal miles are free on the Uber rental and if you're paying for the rental anyway, can you do Lyft also?
Hi! For Lyft, there are 2 types of rentals: GM and Hertz. With GM, personal miles are charged, but with Hertz, unlimited miles are included. You would not be able to get a Lyft rental set up with Uber and you also wouldn't be able to get an Uber rental set up with Lyft. I wish that were possible! :)
Hi guys"Does Uber cover collision insurance in period 2 and 3 for Hertz-Uber rental vehicles ?" Hertz only covers off app and period 1 for collision with 1K deductible. ( I only carry liability on my "personal vehicle".).
Thank you, on the web, literature is ambiguous for Collision and Uber won't reply. Herein was my confusion -- The California policy, the Hertz-Uber rental redirects to only says "Contingent comprehensive and collision insurance. If a rideshare driver holds comprehensive and collision insurance on his/her vehicle," I only carry liability on my private car, but am assuming since Hertz is covering Collsion when off-app and period 1, Uber covers 2 & 3? From the rental program page: "*The Hertz Damage Waiver applies to damage to the vehicle itself in excess of $1,000 occurring while off-app or while on-app before accepting a request from a passenger. When off-app, Renter is responsible for any other liability incurred, subject to the minimum financial responsibility of Hertz. Uber provides additional coverage for on-app driving. For such Uber coverage in California, click here. For such Uber coverage in all other states, click here. Hertz may not offer any additional protection products, including insurance products. Terms and Conditions apply to all protection and insurance products. Loss Damage Waiver terms can be found in the rental agreement, rental agreement addendum, and online."
Amit, great attention to detail. When I rented, I had collision on my personal vehicle. But this program is also supposed to be for people without their own cars/insurance. I was verbally told that all coverage is provided, but without a lawyer, I'm not sure we'll figure out the truth... I wish I had more answers to provide, I hope Uber will figure this out for you
Hey Michelle! From what I can tell, right now it is a guarantee that you will earn at least $1000 from your first 100 rides. That is pretty decent as I believe 100 rides could be done in 3 long days in SF! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with :)
I wish we had boost in Arkansas, it's so hard to make money now.. So many drivers.. we have elderly Husband and wife teams...No one will turn them in cause they are old. I'm not complaining but it's unreal who can drive now.
How long can you rent the vehicle for? Online it says that you must return the vehicle at 28 days. Could you rent it for longer? I would love to do this and save some money to buy a newer vehicle. My 2004 Mercedes-Benz will not do of course. Great video!
Is this the UBER Xchange lease program or a new program. I was told last week !0/4/17 that UBER has discontinued the Xchange lease program with regard to new drivers.
Keep in mind that the profiting 20.00. In a hour driving from uber is not the same as getting paid 20.00 a hour for a full time job, for instance , full time employees get health care, are covered by workers comp ( disability insurance) receive unemployment insurance, also after 40 hours of work , a worker is paid time and a half ,also most self employed people do not pay ss and though not mandated by law , most company's match 401k contributions
Yes, I agree 100%. I think drivers who put in a certain number of hours should get benefits, obviously not gonna happen... The unfortunate reality is that lots of those benefits and protections are eroding in the corporate world as well. Lots of folks who are considering Uber don't have the experience for a lot of the jobs you that would pay $20/hour with benefits. And some people might just want a flexible, part-time thing.
How do u change the rental car to your uber car on the app? Also, hertz wants me to have my own insurance but the website states that they provide insurance. Can anyone give me better insite?
hey, what if i am below 21, i mean what if i am 18, how can i be a driver, leave uber, lyft and those stuff if i even have a car how to be a driver or a better earning carrier at highschool diploma
We don't have Driver promos, nor have boost. UberEats is also new in my area. I signed up for UberEats. Deliveries can be 12mi away from the restaurant. I'm not understanding why we don't get paid for surges for deliveries.
I don't see the boost in my app, just the quest which I do and the consecutive which is hit or miss because rush hour will have you with one rider traveling 5 miles for one hour

Mileage is only deductible for your personal car, not a rental. For rentals, you can deduct the gas cost instead.
Thanks, Bob! That sounds right. I figured I'll be deducting the gas and rental fees. I save all receipts and track all mileage to be safe
Plus the rental cost too.
You made one darn good, very informative video. Sharing this with someone who is contemplating signing up to be an Uber driver !
Are you still renting or use your own car now . Rental sound very good .
It's 2019 now are you still driving and are you earning good money
Sw eet what’s the best way to go about it then... suggestions?
UP DATE.........SINCE THIS VIDEO WAS MADE. THE RATES HAVE BEEN REDUCED BY 70% YOU NOW CAN MAKE $10.50 PER HOUR.
you're not wrong... the rates are lower and there's a lot less surge than there was in 2016 - that's the big thing. in 2014-2016, it would surge to 3x in LA at some time almost every day. now i only see that on New Year's Eve, etc...
Download stride to track all your miles whether u have pax or not keep it running as long as your online
I agree 100% :)
$10 per hour give or take a few. Deduct gas expenses from that. West Palm Beach area
Robert, that's what you're making currently there? How about during peak season in the winter? Does it get better?
Am in Miami there a lot of uber around my area I wonder if 10$ take home
This may be the most helpful video on uber Lyft rental etc on the web. Thanks
i think the best right now is getaround
I want to use uber for second source of income for the weekends. Is it still beneficial to rent if I'm only available to drive on weekends?
To rent? Probably not. But weekend rentals seem to be available in some markets, in which case, it might work for you. I'd recommend you contact support and ask about weekend rentals
Amazingly accurate
Great video. Good job
Thanks for posting this video! I have decided to start driving for Lyft & Uber mad found your information very helpful. Would you happen to know what the sign on bonuses are in the Hampton Roads (Virginia) market? Thank you for your time!
Hi Amy! The only way to find out the bonuses is to reach out to Uber or Lyft. They don't publish any lists. Would you like me to assist you with that?
Thanks Ezra for the new motivation. I drive with a Hertz rental in LA and just found out that the promo for me is over. Bummed. So I will be pouring on the hustle to make up for the rental reimbursement.
You were able to get the promo recently? That's good! I never got it unfortunately. How are things going? I know it's a really slow time in LA through the next few weeks so I hope you're doing ok :)
Thanks for video.
What I have done instead that. I bought a very cheap car last year. A 2015 mitsubishi mirage with 30000 mileas on it in great condition.I Purchased 7500 $ for my car.
So it's already cheap and also new and I am not worry about loosing that much money on car's value.
I thought it is a better Idea ibstead renting car.
Yes! That is the best way to approach this business - buy an affordable car that is reliable and nice enough to not HURT your ratings. Then drive it a lot and get all of that mileage deduction on your taxes. Do you agree?
Lots of people don't the means to purchase a car which is why these rentals are popular
When do hertz give back the $200 refundable deposit
It looks like it would be returned when the car is returned at the latest. In my case, the authorization expired within a few days...
i am so tired of ppl show der money i got paid like 2.50 for driving some1 like 2 to 3 miles away uber in west palm beach is not good
Driving at 1.0x rates will almost never be profitable. Maybe it's time to change your strategy? I'd be glad to help! Have a great day! :)
I stopvdriving for uber west palm beach never surge n also im doing uberx short trips
Just be sure it's clean and like new, and mechanically safe and sound. That's it! Have a Mechanic run a diagnostic before buying. $100. And if the seller is not good with that KEEP looking! Happy LYFTING! LYFT RULES!
mitchell I dont trust any of these uber videos that show how much people make because I have been doing it 2 years and I do not make nearly that ..

Blair Group takes good credit and time on your job to buy a car.
Can you possibly make a video on how you are filing your tax using this rental system? thanks :) great info
Thanks for watching!! Specifically for this rental, I believe I could write off the gas and rental fees, car washes and other expenses, but not the mileage. My CPA took care of it, so I'm not 100% sure.

I've never driven XL and I've been able to earn decent money doing this. As far as Boost, it's something you have to take advantage of if it's in your city. If it's not, there are usually other strategies that can help profitability. If you watched the video, you'd know I went over the specifics of how I earn what I do and I also stressed that this was the result of a lot of planning and hard work. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
Can you drive for Door dash or Postmates while renting the car?
Damn mentioned all those cities and didn’t mention New York where is all the money at lol
Can you do Ubereats with the same rented car?
Yes! Absolutely
Do you still drive for Uber?
This shows you that Uber, like many things, is just a platform. Some people will make zero dollar with it and others 50K a year pre tax. It depends on a lot of factor but your hard work and skills pay off. Good for you.
Hey I know this is last minute but I had a question . At the moment I'm doing Uber eats on a motorcycle but I just got a car and I was wondering would I have to create a new account for Uber to drive ; or could I use my original one .
Original
Just call Uber support to add or switch
Thank you
Would I be able to use the same car to do Lyft as well??
Is it possible to rent a car in Miami and drive it within Tampa? Or can I only drive in that pick-up city?
Great question! Here in California, Uber allows you to drive anywhere in the state. But in some cities and states, regulations vary. I've heard Hillsborough County (Tampa area) is tougher on driver requirements.... I think it would be best to ask the rental company or your local Uber support about where you're allowed to drive exactly...
Rideshare Genius thanks for the reply!!!
Great info as I travel back and forth between San Francisco and Los Angeles often. Do you know where I can find out if the regulations vary between these two cities? Thanks again for the information! You are extremely helpful! :)
You said you can see what "specials" are going on in all cities? How does that work? How do I look that up? I'm in Houston , TX. Seems we never have any specials going on here, or Boost that I know of. What say you?
Open your driver app, click "earnings" then click "promotions." Do you see anything there?
By renting a car, aren't you subjecting yourself to drastically higher taxes? Any car you own you can take your standard deduction per mile. 4k miles means you can deduct around 2500 vs 600. By owning you can even leave about 400 a month budget in repairs. Actual is no where near that much. Especially for a 7k car. To me, I have no idea why one would rent.
Okay Genius, what's the total cost (taxes and fees not included)? In Austin they say $214 per week, fees and taxes extra. When is the bonus program coming to Austin? Can I put the deposit on a credit card ( just like when you rent a car) and pay the weekly fee on a debit? If you are a Genius, you should be able to answer these questions without telling me to visit Hertz or Uber's website. Not trying to be snarky, but you can't find the answers to these questions anywhere. The morons at the Uber Greenlight didn't even know. They told me to visit Hertz and guess what Hertz told me? Yep, talk to Uber! You're the first person that said you need to have the deposit and first week with you when you sign up. If you can't answer these questions you need to change your name!
Not working 13hr days for this. I do 100/day and I'm gone. That's at 5-6 dys per week about 5-6hrs per day. These kind of videos are misleading.
Hey! It's not possible to Rideshare the rental for Lyft as well? Just a curiousity, unless it's in the Uber contract
HI!! It's not possible. You won't be able to get the vehicle added to your Uber account without the registration and insurance under your name. I like the idea though! LOL. There are some options though... lots of big cities have private fleet owners who rent out cars to drivers - you could go that route and get a rental car set up with multiple apps.
Lyft Express Car Rental is making me sick. The carpet is so dirty but it's black so you can't tell and they won't exchange cars until my 28-day renewal. I pay at the $243 a week for this car I expect to clean car and a good one.
Hello ezra , thank you for the video . What will happen if you dont have credit card but a debit card or if u dont have really good credit, thank u !
Chepito one thing I don't see in all this videos is taxes IRS, city Social Sec. medicare, none of this videos mention taxes, by not doing it is a false I mprestion of the earning 5,000 dlls. At 30 at! % that's 1.500. dollars in taxes for IRS.
Why would u rent a car to drive they sent me a offer for 300$ a week I laughed 1200$ for something vyou will never own also most people don't make 1200$ week please very misleading
Boost gone. Referrals gone. Promos gone. Pay amount over the past 3 years, exponentially lowered, passenger volume, nearly obliterated and non-exisistent. Rental car rates, higher than 3 years ago.
Thanks for sharing Ezera
My pleasure, Maurice!
That's a wonderful presentation.
Hi... great video! Very informative.. I'm in New Jersey... I want to rent and drive for uber! So all together around what will I have to pay weekly in total! The rental and the uber fee.. they take out 20% right?
D jeff good question I don't no if he mention it I want to rent and ride for uber to hi
really ? who the hell can make 600 $ 900$ 300 ? in one day driving uber x with a hunday elantra man? dont lie to people .,
There are people renting cars on Craigslist for rideshare specifically. Just search the cars and trucks for sale section and look for cars for rent. They have full insurance and everything turns out cheaper than all these companies
hertz really treats their people like garbage , they have no incentive to help you
The highest I ever made and this is in Connecticut. I made 1250.00 that was the most I made with my 2009 Hyundai sonata. Boost not available in the part of Connecticut where I live. It does surge but when I'm near or around and this was multiple times and once in a blue i get surge pricing.I think they purposely put out surges to just bring drivers back to the area.I have 20,000 miles on my car.I have not made 20,000.I only made a little over $11,000. So pretty much im at a loss. Your making money like that I need to move to your area. Cause I never seen 2,500 weeks.
I'm not sure $2500 is possible. I worked a ton that week and I made $1700+ from driving. $750 was from referral rewards which I was transparent about...
The program was discontinued.
I'm really interested in renting for either Uber or Lyft to see how it goes. Just moving and getting out of a 5yr relationship.. so I can definitely work a lot. Im about 45 minutes outside of Pittsburgh Pa. In the Aliquippa and Beaver county are. Hope it's not too far outside. If I can make 500$ a week. Every week. I can get by.
I would imagine there's money to be made in the city but $500 in the burbs might be tough!
Do you know if you can use your Uber Hertz rental to drive for Lyft as well? I'm in Atlanta and both companies use Hertz as there rental program.
Unfortunately, the programs generally don't allow for that. If you are renting through the Uber program, they don't want you to be helping Lyft's business and vice versa...
Is it possible for you to do a video on your strategy? I would love to know where and what times you position yourself to make the most money even without the referral fees. I do plan on signing up with Uber through your link, is it possible to still contact you for advice before I sign up? I won't be able to start driving until May/June. Thanks in advance!
Hi Shaquita! There's so much to discuss when it comes to strategy. What city will you be driving in?
I will be driving in Los Angeles. Are you doing XL or Select? Did the rates decrease? I would like to know the best times and areas to drive. Thanks you are awesome!
Does anyone know what’s it like to rent in. CHICAGO!?
UBER Hertz Rental Car program is horrible here in Atlanta, you have to go Hertz/uber website reserve a car, you must put reservation date on April 2018 or after, and you have text that information to them and they gonna put you for waiting list, believe me, you never get a call.
I would like to have an apointement to drive uber in philadelphia
Was this filmed at the top of Reseda blvd?
Thanks for the very informative video. A friend of mine told me to find a Hertz dealership in L.A. county instead of O.C. because its much cheaper. Is this true?
I thought they were the same price. Do you know how much it is in OC?
Does that mean on the app you have to change the car pic and the model and stuff?
you wreck the car without commercial. you not covered
For the Uber/Hertz rentals, you're covered. Commercial insurance is not required. Uber's policy covers you while doing Uber trips and Hertz's policy provides the coverage during personal use.

Thanks for the great video! How can I find if this works in my area...Tampa.Thank you
Hey Angelo! Unfortunately, not available in Tampa - www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/index.jsp?targetPage=uber_landing_page.jsp&LinkType=HZLK
Uber Hertz rentals programs a nightmares here in Atlanta bro! I called them & they never answered the phone 📱 they didn’t have any car 🚗 for rental so we’re on waiting list forever! Horrible bro!
Does your car insurance know you're ridesharing, or using your car for commercial purposes?
I'm just asking cause my insurance found out, not that I was keeping it a secret, just didn't know it would be an issue since Lyft has their own insurance. Unfortunately now they want to kick me off. *smh*
why would they even care uber and lyft cover u when in driver mode so nothing changes
Kenneth Johnson
IKR? That's what I've been saying...
Insurance is still an issue for some folks. A lot more companies are offering rideshare plans, but some are still against the idea. The Rideshare Guy has a great insurance page I recommend checking out - therideshareguy.com/rideshare-insurance-options-for-drivers/
Rideshare Genius
Thanks for the link, appreciate the help.
good info 👍👍👍👍
The biggest problem with these rental programs is the insurance...The full coverage is only in effect while you are signed in to the allowed rideshare platform (You are either on an active trip or on your way to pickup or you are online)... Any damages to the interior or exterior of the vehicle .... you are personally responsible for, Unless your insurance offers full coverage for commercial rental and most will not.. so, say if a customer throws up in your vehicle drags snow or water into a vehicle(I realize that you can get the rideshare company to charge the customer for the cleaning/damage fees etc., sometimes your customer may lie and accuse you of fabricating said allegations) , You will be responsible for returning the vehicle in the same condition it was in when you picked it up regardless of how your request to be compensated for damages caused by the customer is ultimately handled. Someone ( totals, scratches or in any way damages) your rented car while parked on the street.. you're responsible for the damage. So keep these situations in mind before you decide to rent...
It’s true that you’re responsible for the car and riders could certainly mess it up. But remember a few things - 1. If a rider damages or dirties the car, you can request a cleaning fee
2. The rental company is not going to go over the car with a magnifying glass when you return it. They are just happy if there are no dents or scratches.
I did something like 500 trips with this car and collected a few cleaning fees along the way and they didn’t complain when I returned the car
Thanks for making such a helpfull vedio.I wanted to ask if this program is available in Canada too or just in the United States? I asked because we have Hertz rental here in Canada too.
Thank you
Are you already with Uber? If so, log into your account and look for vehicle solutions. Rental options might appear there
So even with having to pay for the rental, you made more with Uber than the Lyft rental program?
I did! Because I know the Uber price multiplier (surge of boost) in advance of accepting a ride, I find I can leverage that info to earn more than with Lyft, which only discloses Prime Time amounts after the ride is over. More info on that here - th-cam.com/video/yFfSKe2T2SM/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Now if only we could get you to do a review of your weekly earnings... ;)
Thanks! What exactly would you like to know about weekly earnings? Anything specific I could cover for you?
do you know in other cities if hertz takes the payment from uber every week?
Hi, Dennis! From what I can tell, Hertz now processes all of the rental payments. You can always call the branch directly to confirm. Here's some fine print from Hertz :) www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/index.jsp?targetPage=UberFAQs.jsp
Rideshare Genius thanks for the reply. yeah i was just wondering cause i was not given any info by uber or hertz. was just curious if hertz takes the payment from the creditcard on file or directly from my uber earnings
It looks like Hertz takes the payment directly now
Lyft is $2500 deductible.
I was reading up on the Lyft rental, they charge for personal miles used. So trying to do both Lyft and Uber at the same like most drivers are doing, might be possible, but you'll be paying for the personal miles every time you turn off the Lyft app to pick up an Uber customer. That's my theory anyway. The car may not even be approved to use for both Rideshares, because it's a rental.
Anyway, my question: since the personal miles are free on the Uber rental and if you're paying for the rental anyway, can you do Lyft also?
Hi! For Lyft, there are 2 types of rentals: GM and Hertz. With GM, personal miles are charged, but with Hertz, unlimited miles are included. You would not be able to get a Lyft rental set up with Uber and you also wouldn't be able to get an Uber rental set up with Lyft. I wish that were possible! :)
Rideshare Genius
Aww, that prob means the same for getting the rental approved for DoorDash or what did you call it, PostMates?
what are the taxes and fees, besides the rental fees?
good video
Can this be achieved driving in NYC?
I think the earnings can definitely be achieved in NYC. BUT I don't think the Hertz Uber rental is available in NYC. Do you have a car?
Hi guys"Does Uber cover collision insurance in period 2 and 3 for Hertz-Uber rental vehicles ?" Hertz only covers off app and period 1 for collision with 1K deductible. ( I only carry liability on my "personal vehicle".).
Yeah, Uber provides the coverage during periods 2 and 3 for sure...
Thank you, on the web, literature is ambiguous for Collision and Uber won't reply. Herein was my confusion -- The California policy, the Hertz-Uber rental redirects to only says "Contingent comprehensive and collision insurance. If a rideshare driver holds comprehensive and collision insurance on his/her vehicle,"
I only carry liability on my private car, but am assuming since Hertz is covering Collsion when off-app and period 1, Uber covers 2 & 3?
From the rental program page:
"*The Hertz Damage Waiver
applies to damage to the vehicle itself in excess of $1,000 occurring
while off-app or while on-app before accepting a request from a
passenger. When off-app, Renter is responsible for any other liability
incurred, subject to the minimum financial responsibility of Hertz. Uber
provides additional coverage for on-app driving. For such Uber coverage
in California, click here. For such Uber coverage in all other states, click here.
Hertz may not offer any additional protection products, including
insurance products. Terms and Conditions apply to all protection and
insurance products. Loss Damage Waiver terms can be found in the rental
agreement, rental agreement addendum, and online."
Amit, great attention to detail. When I rented, I had collision on my personal vehicle. But this program is also supposed to be for people without their own cars/insurance. I was verbally told that all coverage is provided, but without a lawyer, I'm not sure we'll figure out the truth... I wish I had more answers to provide, I hope Uber will figure this out for you
Know about San Francesco's referral bonus?
Hey Michelle! From what I can tell, right now it is a guarantee that you will earn at least $1000 from your first 100 rides. That is pretty decent as I believe 100 rides could be done in 3 long days in SF! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with :)
Very informative video! It helped! Thanks!
2502 -750 =1752.
It’s good but it’s 800 a month
I wish we had boost in Arkansas, it's so hard to make money now.. So many drivers.. we have elderly Husband and wife teams...No one will turn them in cause they are old. I'm not complaining but it's unreal who can drive now.
How long can you rent the vehicle for? Online it says that you must return the vehicle at 28 days. Could you rent it for longer? I would love to do this and save some money to buy a newer vehicle. My 2004 Mercedes-Benz will not do of course. Great video!
$22/hour - but no accounting for income taxes!
How old do you have to be to do the uber hertz rental
Raheem Gardner 21
Don’t forget the peak rides. You don’t complete the peaks rides...you get no discount or a chance to waive the rental fee.
YES, THANK YOU! 😄
Are you a liar? This is all a lie.
Is this the UBER Xchange lease program or a new program. I was told last week !0/4/17 that UBER has discontinued the Xchange lease program with regard to new drivers.
Keep in mind that the profiting 20.00. In a hour driving from uber is not the same as getting paid 20.00 a hour for a full time job, for instance , full time employees get health care, are covered by workers comp ( disability insurance) receive unemployment insurance, also after 40 hours of work , a worker is paid time and a half ,also most self employed people do not pay ss and though not mandated by law , most company's match 401k contributions
Yes, I agree 100%. I think drivers who put in a certain number of hours should get benefits, obviously not gonna happen... The unfortunate reality is that lots of those benefits and protections are eroding in the corporate world as well. Lots of folks who are considering Uber don't have the experience for a lot of the jobs you that would pay $20/hour with benefits. And some people might just want a flexible, part-time thing.
Yes, self employed pay SSI, Fica, and medicare, it's called self employment tax. And we pay the entire amount, not half like employees.
How do u change the rental car to your uber car on the app? Also, hertz wants me to have my own insurance but the website states that they provide insurance. Can anyone give me better insite?
hey, what if i am below 21, i mean what if i am 18, how can i be a driver, leave uber, lyft and those stuff if i even have a car how to be a driver or a better earning carrier at highschool diploma
Hello! I would like to get more help for my area, Portland, OR.
Sure, how can I help, Melissa?
We don't have Driver promos, nor have boost. UberEats is also new in my area. I signed up for UberEats. Deliveries can be 12mi away from the restaurant. I'm not understanding why we don't get paid for surges for deliveries.
with uber and lyft you earn what uber wants you earn not what you want.
+Juniorundersea it is becoming more and more like that, you are right. But there are still opportunities here and there
I don't see the boost in my app, just the quest which I do and the consecutive which is hit or miss because rush hour will have you with one rider traveling 5 miles for one hour
