Ubers good but it needs some changes needs to raise fares bring back list of specified cars cap car numbers per area not endlessly onboard letting numbers rise and fall randomly should be a stable figure so customers have an average waiting time and so drivers can more easily predict earnings.
Having spent the last 9 months getting my TFL license I’ve just had a quote from Inshur for £7,250. On the basis I was only going to be doing it part time that’s pointless. Does that figure sound feasible for a Tesla model S, I’m 60, no convictions or accidents been driving 43yrs.
Hi mate, when exactly do Uber take their 25% of the fare? When you say you’ve earned £150 for a day for example, is that before or after they take their 25%? Cheers mate
@@Uberdiaries cool, thanks mate!! I’m thinking of doing it on the side while I learn the knowledge for taxi driving. Kind of a learn and earn situation for a couple of months. Thanks for getting back so quick
Hope you realise what you're taking on and have plenty of money in the bank coz tryin to maintain a lowish wage full time job , pay bills etc and still get all over London for runs and pointing will be a killer. Knowledge schools will tell you all the upsides but their fighting for their lives and just want your dollar.
I see you just said you average around £150 a day and have previously said you like to aim for £20p/h ….i was wondering what sort of miles you average to hit those numbers? I’m looking at car rentals and want to make sure the mileage cap isn’t an issue. When you average £159 a day, what’s your average miles? Cheers man
I’m driving in Liverpool and it’s absolutely joke 10 hours for 90-100£ without expenses i think to swap to local firms! I make videos too and sometimes it’s not even what to film because is no work 😅
Uber finally in my city got my appointment monday only problem sold my audi and bought a focus st as i wasn’t working much but now ive got the itch to get out there lol still have my plate so just a £30 transfer fee plus an mot for the focus and im good to go leg room is crap though 🤦♀️
Thanks for the video, regarding Uber in my area its literally dead I think most of the riders are saving money for their holidays or most people are away or something 🤨🤔your thoughts are welcome too mate!
Hey mate youre inspirational, looking to get into uber as a part-time for a few hours a week - i got a 09 astra and I know i cant use that for uber so what do you recommend ? Hire a hybrid or electric car ?
@@shahrozalix4for the first year you won’t make anything as you will have paid for the car plus 1st year insurance will be expensive but from 2nd year you should be able to clear an extra grand a month working weekends at 300 per week but at that point is it even worth it? You could just do Uber eats and you’d make similar money and not have the huge outlay
@user-it5dc2lr3e how so when you can get a electric hybrid car for 250 a month and a weekend will pay it off (£300) ? I'm pretty sure I'll be making money unless I'm missing something ?
You should have took the kid , just make sure he got through a door at the other end ….PH drivers with local firms have accounts where it’s all ages of unaccompanied…. You just need to see them enter a property
No under 18s in an Uber without an accompanying adult, the policy is very clear. If the driver breaches the policy and has an accident, or is reported, it could result in permanent deactivation and/or revocation of the driver's private hire licence.

@@Finggy yeah I would love to work London mate but the traffic up there I can’t deal with! I worked London for 4 years chauffeuring and ubering and I don’t miss it! But may be worth doing some jobs going that way that pop up
@@UberdiariesYou actually can. You are legally allowed to log on and accept jobs in any area that Uber also has an Op Licence. Thats why Wolverhampton drivers work in London and Liverpool. You can’t log on unless they do the same service as you do So UberLux can’t log on in Southampton because there is no Lux there
F uber! Today they offered me £25 to drive somewhere I accepted did the drive then they payed me £17, wouldn't have accepted it for that much, I called them cussing and they said if I don't have a screenshot they won't reimburse me, anyone ever had this issue?

Yeah the no cap on drivers baffles me mate! Constantly taking new drivers it’s ridiculous and flooding areas
@@Uberdiaries yes mate because it only balances out by it getting crap and people leaving wouldn’t it be better to cap and retain good drivers
@@Aaron-xb4fv yeah 💯
What are the best working hours on weekdays and weekends? thank you
Right now who knows! Uber is shiteeee! Way too many drivers and the trip radar is the worst thing they’ve ever done

That’s a silly price!! I pay 250 a month and mine went up by £50 a month this year
@@Uberdiaries Can I ask who that’s with please?
@@barrymason1427 I’m with acorn/ haven
@@Uberdiaries Thanks very much, I’ll give them a try.
@@barrymason1427 there pretty good tbf, good luck mate
Have u got a link for those dascams what map places.Thank
Hi mate there are no more currently
In Manchester it's dead, we are struggling to make £100 a Day
blame wolverhampton council
Hi mate, when exactly do Uber take their 25% of the fare? When you say you’ve earned £150 for a day for example, is that before or after they take their 25%? Cheers mate
That’s after they’ve taken there commission mate so the £150 is mine

Are you Comfort or Exec? Which car are you using? I'm looking in to options for joining as a driver. Thank you
I’m uberx, green and comfort mate. Drive an Audi etron but hopefully will be changing end of the year
@@Uberdiaries you had problems with your Etron mate ? What you looking at getting next ?
@@Uberdiaries Why you dont like Audi E tron?
Heard on a news ap that Uber can now operate in Colchester. Don't know if its true?
See ya around mate.

I can do anywhere between 100 and 150 miles a day for that money mate, you can pick and choose work though so you can keep an eye on the mileage
dont get a car on milage cap for a taxi ,it wont work.
Have you tried keeping moving, rather than stopping and waiting ? I hate the waiting so try and keep moving.
i guess no matter where you go it will be waiting ,plus hes on electric car ,cant be driving round willie nillie.

Yeah mate it’s definitely slower than it used to be! This last couple weeks been rough tbh
What area are you working
@@williamcollins3619 Essex and London mate
Is there a time limit for working in Uber or can you work every few hours?
@@MILADMM326 10 hours driving time a day is the limit mate
Hope youre doing well mate. How much are you paying per month for charging your EV?
I think I pay around 200 a month for charging
@@Uberdiaries Is that with a home charger?
@@otablott7779 yes with home charging
£67 for 1 hour 45 min work ! Surely you should have took it and worked your way back to your area ? But what do I know ?
More agg than it’s worth for me mate 😂 not a fan of driving that side l, don’t know the roads well
@@Uberdiariesleave it out ffs 😜

Hi mate thanks for the nice comment, I would say don’t go for anything too expensive as you’re only going to be doing part time.
it's not worth doing part time after you consider your vehicle, licensing and insurance costs
@dontwantid part time like both weekends and a few hours after work during weekdays. I got a office 9-5 so can't do it during those weekdays.
@@shahrozalix4for the first year you won’t make anything as you will have paid for the car plus 1st year insurance will be expensive but from 2nd year you should be able to clear an extra grand a month working weekends at 300 per week but at that point is it even worth it?

£1200 all in per month car, insurance and charging

Considering you dont go down to zone one area your earnings aren't that bad tbh
Honestly mate they could be a lot better, I do turn down quite a lot and I am a bit lazy 😂😂 could work a couple extra hours a day
@@Uberdiaries same with me man, but I usually work around Central and East Central, definitely a lot more regular everyday work around these ends.
@@Finggy yeah I would love to work London mate but the traffic up there I can’t deal with! I worked London for 4 years chauffeuring and ubering and I don’t miss it! But may be worth doing some jobs going that way that pop up
@@Uberdiaries try and do it when its not rush hour, I do nights so the roads aren't that bad.
Yeah I wouldn’t drive London during the day it’s a nightmare
Do you average around the same pay everyday ?
I normally target £150 a day on Uber mate
@@Uberdiaries im not even making that much right now today was a very quiet day again
@@ramzanbapu4804 I did £195 today but I had a private airport job, my advice, call pco companies and work with them don’t just rely on Uber
@@Uberdiaries are you using a electric car?
@@ramzanbapu4804what area you work
Bro, do u rent ur vehicle?
No mate I own it
@@Uberdiaries Thanks bro, I’m renting £229 per week and charging costs another £60-£70. Basically start the week minus £300. It’s brutal.
@@Rodney-Blackburn yeah that is brutal tbh, I’m lucky I’ve got a home charger which costs me about £35 a week
