I have been driving uber eats since 2019. Everything your talking about is spot on, especially making over $1.00 a mile and always trying to make $2.00 a mile or more. That's how I do it to. To me , learning when your area is at its busisesest is most important. With a busy time frame and sticking to this video, nothing but success!!
I wish I could find trips >$1/mile. I sit/drive for an hour or more Declining trip after trip after trip because they're either $4 total or between $0.50-$1 per mile (or both). After sitting in the middle of a surging city for over an hour and declining at least 5 low-paying trips I give up and go home, pissed at the time and miles wasted.
I used to get awesome quest promotions. Then they just stopped. Havent had any in almost a year 😞
They have it where if you touch the screen to try to see the map, you except the order. Too many times I've talked under my breathe delivering a 2-3 dollar order
I wish you could see the final destination from the restaurant to determine if you want to take it. Now I’m understanding if the payout is high it’s gonna be a long trip
Wait! You have a different UberEats app. I don’t get quests! And my map doesn’t look like that. And for stacked orders I can see the same information as a standard order.
I'm glad you covered these things about Ubereats because I definitely learned these the hard way. The way they present the stacked order is terrible. But one tip that you can use to figure out whether it is worth it is the trip time they show. This can give you a sense of how far it might be. $12 stacked order and estimated time of 40 minutes? Decline!
I always forget to stop new requests when on my way to a customer's home. It is maddening when Uber sends you an order when you are driving and trying to find the customer's home. I've even had it pop up while I'm trying to take a picture to drop off the food.
About the insurance piece, I had contacted my insurance company and they told me that since I am only doing this on the side I don't have to purchase additional insurance. They said if the majority of the miles driven on your car is for business use, then yes you need business insurance. That's just my insurance in my area so it could be different with others.
Thanks for commenting Jeffrence and for the heads up from your insurance company
I see that I am responding to a years old response. My first trip, I’m thinking of starting today. I confirmed with my insurance. As long as not for Uber passengers, then no rate change. Also if it’s not full time ( one or two days a week a few hours) , no rate change or extra insurance.
I almost never get any trips in the surge zones because you have to realize, if you are seeing that RED ZONE so are 10-20 other drivers and what do you think they are doing? FLOODING INTO THAT ZONE!!! So yeah thats a great tip don't expect much from those surge zone ITS FOOLS GOLD!!!
awesome video mike. good stuff!
15 mile trips for 8 bucks is super common here in Central Florida. Many towns here have hubs where the restaurants are located in and the homes are scattered around the hubs. Many of the homes are around 5 to 10 miles away. There's also a lot of lowballing people with the tips, it seems. The active quest thing was something that didn't occur to me, however. I'm on one right now so thanks for that tip!
Yeah man, I live in winter park. Did you actually get to make good money eventually, without going all those miles?
Yea, you right..in Florida, Orlando it's, mostly $2-$10 orders, and busy days are Friday -Sunday....or Monday -Thursday at night time..they don't have any extra surge often or any bonuses..
Thank you
Thank you !
Mike I just want to say you have a good vibe you and your twin brother and really seem like good people stay blessed brother
The quest you described is different from what is offered in my area. (Tampa Bay area Florida) They are usually tiered rewards for trip counts. Also, never seen a surge more than $1.50 (maybe $2, but I'm not certain)
EDIT:I'm mostly on 5-10pm. Just opened the app and there's a $2.50 surge at my favorite corner.
I'm from Tampa and yeah I never see surges more than 2.50 everrr. Lol and I haven't gotten a quest in weeks
Hi Mike, I have a question about mileage. I have mileage to the restaurants from my last delivery. Uber does not track this mileage? Also, mileage from my home to the first delivery. I work from home. The same deal with tolls round trip is not covered by Uber. Let me know if you have any advice.
Glad to see not the only one that says pay by the mile not by the hour. Wen I tel people that they get up set. I on really good night I can can get like 1.70 a mile but Average 1.55 but I live in Suffolk county and it big area and everything thing is 10 to 15 min away
I m working in Tyler,Tx,if I do what you re saying here,I won t get enough trips to even go out,there are very few trips here that pay over $8 to $10.
Longview sucks too. I’ve only seen two over $10 so far.
What advise on these apartment buildings that don't clearly state the building number? I was frantically searching for 20 minutes looking for this address, while on the phone with the guy, only to get a bad review and no tip. I wish they would show the actual address.
Mike, please follow up on that last bit in the video about the insurance. Most delivery drivers don't get it due to the high cost. I looked into it myself and it would add about $300 a month to the cost. Please if you do, share the best options and cost.
Exactly!
Good idea Mike
See above comment reply. You want hybrid insurance. Personal use with sometimes commercial. It's about 20/month extra. State Farm does these policies in TX.
In FL Progressive Auto insurance does Ride Share policies for food delivery drivers. Check it out.
Hi mike. I just started UE... I noticed that while im active delivering, walking to find an apartment nunber per say, i get a ton of new delivery requests like automatically?! Can i turn that off or is that part of the UE APP..?? thank you for your time and videos... I learned alot already
Yes you can stop incoming requests
Hi, could you explain a bit more about supplemental car insurance ??? Thank you for videos are very informative :)
Go talk to an auto insurance agent and take your current insurance policy with you. Don't do it over the phone, go to an office and discuss it. Find out which insurance company in your area offers Ride Share supplemental policies and make an appointment to discuss it.
@@rochelleb.5461 Thank you very much :)
eh here in north alabama (nothing but engineers and high ranking military) we don’t get a surge often, but i’m not complaining i hit 170$ a day in 10-11 trips
Mike have you tried the uber rental thing? I'm thinking about it
how would your insurance company know you were driving for Uber at the time of the accident. ? would you tell them that? if so why?
On May 11, I was in an accident while driving for Uber eats, and had recently (in March) switched to Progressive Auto insurance and added the Ride Share policy to my auto insurance, since Geico sent me a letter asking me to drop Uber eats or drop Geico. So I dropped Geico. Progressive cut me a check for $2,0000 to pay for the repairs and sent me a letter stating the accident wasn't my fault and were pursuing the other driver for the deductible. I am very much pleased to have the supplemental policy since that's peace of mind and there's no need for lying when you are in an accident. I drive in South Florida and we have crazy drivers.
@@rochelleb.5461 but why do we need rideshare for Uber eats we are just delivering food not people plus Uber has insurance for free on their app
@@carljohnson4996 exactly!
Hey Mike, I was wondering if you could make a video addressing the upcoming Prop 22 and what it means to drivers. Thanks.
bump
All thanks to *hackfedy* who finally help me get my Uber account back without no stress.. Thanks buddy ❤️
I usually don't follow the surge/ busy maps. I stayed around the places that consistently have orders .
Yeah that’s a good idea
Same!!!!
And sometimes they'll surge into surge zones as well📈
How do you reject stacked deliveries?
Basically if you go to a surge hotspot you’ll be waiting with other for orders, I’m in Sacramento and and found a hotspot out of downtown lol
surge zones are always in the CBD in my city, hard to find parking so I avoid them
Yeah my area if you tried to chase the hot zones you would lose so much money due to distance. My area everything is so spread out you have to think before you accept
Exactly, it's a huge loss to change heat maps and surge
I learned the hard way too. Hotspots change very quickly and with the ever increasing price of gas... chasing them is becoming a fools errand.
Most items like these do not apply in Southwest Riverside County - We have mostly short trips and with low Uber long trips they are stacked with high tip amounts -Wine Country is a different beast because of weddings :P
I appreciate you watching Luis 👊🏻
When I first started to drive on Uber eat it’s a little busy for me. After 3 or 4 weeks I don’t get many orders. I don’t understand why? Maybe me or not busy area.
Hey mike I did have a question. I recently just moved to another city in SC and now for some reason it won’t let me change cities that I’m driving in. It just says it’s unavailable right now. And I can’t get quests or bonuses here. Anyway you could inform me on what to do?
Call supporter inform them you moved to new city.
Where do you find the quest and where do you live that you get $2 order per mile
Do you even get quest bonus still? cause there is nothing I see currently lol even after taking 100+ deliveries under a week
Where do u find the quest bonasee
I agreed it with you. 👍👍
Thanks for watching Carlos 👊🏻
QUESTION: MAJOR PROBLEM WITH UBER EATS/MILITARY BASES. There is plenty of money to be made in Jacksonville, NC. However I chased Uber eats to camp Lejune. The welcome center told me they don’t do background checks for Uber there. Go to camp New River, the Air Force / Marine I guess coop down the road. The gentleman there said they don’t allow Uber eats on base because Uber won’t play ball. They gave me the number to a marine liaison and i called and left a message. Waiting follow up. Uber’s app won’t discern between which deliveries are on base vs not on base. I don’t have security clearance. Also the guy at the visitors center said those who are gaming the system with Uber driving and like base access will be weeded out or are being weeded out. Should I just treat each delivery like a normal one...and then ask the customer to meet me at the gate. If they cant should i just mark it as undeliverable?
I feel like that’s a way to make a bad connection to the guards and restaurants. What about possible deactivation from Uber?
I live in jacksonville, AR. So far must people in base order delivery knows they have to wait in the visitor center for their delivery. I normally send text to them ETA when I see the address is I'm base.
This week here in NewJersey I started getting Uber eats delivery orders offering $1.50, $2.50. Before the minimum was $4. What is wrong with Uber 😯!
Is it paying like postmates now?
No more 20 drives for $15 bonus type bonuses in NY which they had for a few months. Uber's a business, if they have drivers to fulfill the order without these extra payouts they won't offer them anymore.
Lowest I've seen here on DoorDash was sub $3.00
Uber is same company postmates. Everyone need to be prepare for that.
only one thing: the 58 cents deduction is the average between the person that drives the brand new mercedes super turbo (which value will depreciate a lot at every mile you put on the car) and the guy that drives a $2000 car (which depreciate very little), therefore its not true that on $1 per mile trip you are making no money, it depends what car you drive, in the second case you have to calculate pretty much only the expenses like gas, tires, oil change and repairs, which of course varies depending how many miles you are able to drive, (more miles, less cost), while depreciation is the opposite (more miles driven, more cost)
Seriously. If you're driving a car that pretty much can't depreciate any further, all you're out is what you actually spend.
So I'm kind of lost I don't know where in my Uber app to turn off request while in one. Do you know where I have to go in the app to do so
I have this question too
Swipe upward on the screen. You'll see a red hand logo that says "stop new orders" or something like that.
It does take you offline, so don't forget to go back on if you're not done for the day.
Been driving for 1 week i have over 50 deliveries...... I received my first ratings from customers amd i have only 2 thumbs down.... But rating is 80% and now i got an email from uber saying i may be deactivated and not be able to accept deliveries because, ( the area i live in has a 85% stratification rating average), i honestly dont recall any upset or spilled foods or wrong food pick up.... I been 100% customer service and get my meals delivered on time....... Funny part i had 2 customers who complained on the restaurants i picked up from before) i know this because ubereats gives you heads up on orders..... Funny how i got 2 thumbs down........also we are not allowed to check customers food and open a tamper proof bag..... Seems like uber has alot of updates to make... From now on if anyone gives me a hard time or is late.... I am using the timer countdown and i after 8 mins i am bouncing.... No more nice guy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just delivered an 16 Dollar order was paid $ 8 dollars but it was 19 miles away. Customer paid me an $8 tip so I made $16 and some change for that order.
I had one last month, guarantee $400 in fares for 60 trips. I took only small trips and declined all long ones.
Exactly, small short trips is the way to go with earnings guarantees.
Doesn't that drop your acceptance rate? Can Uber Eats penalize you for a low acceptance rate? Thank you in advance for any information.
@@daviddjkang yes but who cares
@@UberManTampa how can Uber Eats penalize you for a low acceptance rate? Do they give you less requests, etc?
@@daviddjkang Possibly
I actually Love driving around, and wouldnt mind if Uber eats or Dash was my main Job...kind of a bummer it doesnt count as an actual ob in the states. Great points and advice keep up the great vids
Me too! But I might make it my main job. I am scared and nervous but the guy feeling telling me too.
How do you managing the accepting orders like $3.85 for4.5 miles? I got those orders 3 times in rows and I got signed out.....
Do i have to accepting those orders to increasing my acceptance rate?
Do not care the cancel rate and acceptance rate, just care your delivered order no complaints. Customer satisfy your service is important. Remember your rate keep higher than averaged rate in
Your city, you can keep running.
Do they still do quests? I have not seen any.
Uber implementing postmates like guarantees is cool but it looks like they also just implemented the postmates pay model 👎
Been getting lots of $3 orders and keep declining them all.
Trips paying $2.50 and $1.50 😯. I notice it this week. Wow!
Yeah me to as a $10.00 order with tip included turns into a $7.00 trip when completed as very low ball orders. Plus with a quest with each and every Friday with the weekend to do every 5 trips for $5. I wonder if Doordash is any better these days with there pay compared to UberEats pay?
@@IGtyi39AL78F56UberEats need to make quest available every week for us to survive. I’m starting to use other platforms to see if others pay better. Just heard a strong argument about pros and cons of Prop 22. At first I was for it, but now will vote no in 22 because of these stupid $3 orders. I urge all gif works to listen to the arguments first before voting. All these scare tactics that Uber is throwing out there (flexibility, taking all orders) is a scare tactic
@@tdo7125 True as to be employees and fire lots of drivers who refuse to do so as a freedom of rights on our choices and pay. As seems no good for us gig economy workers out there as we have to go W2, instead of 1099.
I need to desactivate de cash orders
How do you see the quests in Uber eats?
How do you actually check the cents per mile you’re getting payed while the request is on?
Math, baby.
Dollars divided by miles equals dollars pr mile.
You're welcome.
I keep singing in and I've yet to get a delivery from Uber eats. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I'm doing please help I've done door dash for 3 years but don't know what is going on with Uber eats I've been signed up for Uber eats for about 4 month and nothing. Please help 😢
I just started Uber eats. Why don't I see the bonus in my area?
How much more do you pay a month in commercial insurance? From what I been seeing, looks like a extra $150- 200...maybe I’m looking at the wrong thing, help lol
You don't want a straight commercial policy. You want hybrid policy that is a personal policy with sometimes commercial use. You'll have to shop around a bit as not all carriers offer them. When I was delivering pizzas at Dominos in Vegas there was only one insurer in the Nevada that offered the type I was talking about . I'm doing Uber Eats in Texas now and my hybrid split personal / commercial policy is about 100 a month and that's full coverage on a nice newer vehicle. It's like 20.00 more a month at most and the peace of mind is worth it. If you get in wreck and the insurer finds out you were using your vehicle for commercial purposes at the time you are paying out of pocket cuz they ain't paying. BTW I was the only driver at Dominos who had the correct insurance and we were seriously instructed to immediately remove our uniform shirts if we were ever in a wreck. In Texas State Farm sells the one I am talking about. In Nevada it was either Allstate or State Farm I forget which.
@@tyharris9994
I worked for Domino's off and on over almost three decades. It was just easy extra money to come back to for a long time. We also had the idea that, if any of us were involved in an accident (I was once), they were "on their way home from work as a pizza maker."
When I was questioned by the carrier covering the stop-sign runner that hit me, I was "returning to the store after dropping coupons off at a local hotel", or something like that.
I have no surge no tips and no quests from my local Japanese market. And I drive 120 trips a week. Fml. To make it worse this and convenience shop is the only job I can get since I don’t know Japanese
Yah they are taking my tips and not paying me for some trips.and sometimes I wait.and never get an order.who is running our apps when we work I fell if they don't like you they and screwing you over
And they be changing the maps making me drive two to five miles out of my way
I've been trying to explain the operating costs to pizza delivery guys for years. MOST of them lose money!
wat about chasing busy areas?
Definitely another thing to avoid!
When do these quest bonuses usually happen???
You'll typically see bonuses featured on your home screen and/or via email. These are based on demand and seasonality among other factors
Usually Fri, Sat, Sun
I haven’t got quest in a long time!
Do you drive for DoorDash as well?
@@YourDriverMike no unfortunately
I tried UberEATS in DC and the pay is horrible. All drivers should stop doing it until Über pays more.
Ok so I'm trying to start driving for Uber but for some reason when I upload my license plate and insurance, my registered car keeps on changing to my mom's car. I'm under my parents insurance. Been having like this a few times now. I called for help but the keep on saying that they'll delete my mom's vehicle and so I can add mines into the app but it keeps on doing the same thing. Anyone having the same issues? Frustrating because I'm almost there to drive soon
Probably has to do with the insurance as you may need to ensure you're an authorized driver under the policy or 'attached' to the policy. It sounds like when they're trying to activate the account they're pulling the info from the insurance hence adding your mom's car.
Hi I was wondering what do you do if the customer has in the app meet at door or wait in car but that's not what they wanted and then you get a ba d review?
There is nothing you can do about this I guess, just try to adjust to avoid the bad review…
Just wondering why... I didn't get a quest for this week, when every week before I have.
Same here. I thought it was just a me thing.
Check your email and inbox, make sure if you received a no longer active letter for your account. Fews reasons made you can't received the request. Your documents expired. or satisfied rare lower than your averaged rate in your city.
I started with Uber rats, the extra 15 dollars per 5 deliveries was great since at that time I was using gas instead of electric
how about not working as an indentured servant for Silicon Valley at all?
Am I the only one who sees the miles shown when accepting stacked orders? It’s just like DD in that sense.
No that's a new app update. Uber now shows expected payout and total miles for that order. They also reduced their base to 2.50
Is this good or bad? I saw one video comparing it to Postmates pay model. Can't be good?
They do that on standard orders for me but not on stacked orders. I'll look for that next time I get an UE stacked order
Where are these quest bounuses???? I've done over 100 delivery and I've never seen this
God damn, this is a real life video game.
I wonder how many miles a bike rider should accept :)
Hmm, you mean to tell me that the amount of money flashing on the screen of my phone is supposed to be my profit for taking the order? Because that is a lie, at least in my area. I never get that much. Uber takes a cut of whatever that figure is. If it shows a expected earning of 5 bucks, what Uber actually pays me is may be 3.75-4.00 bucks. Kid you not!
dollars: time > dollars: miles
Hi Chad, I've mentioned it's almost one in the same: a better dollars:time is most likely also a better dollars:mile
There’s no quest anymore, so y am I still watching this?
Sit near your Mall
👆👆HIS THE BEST DUDE WHEN IT'S COMES TO THINGS LIKE THIS, I'LL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR HIS GOOD WORKS
I just started my issue is it's not showing me a map of where I'm gona be going just the adress time. Maybe miles I forget. I need to see map to know if it's worth it. In florida, right now, uber eats is both worse and. Better than door dash. 90% uber eats is garbage 3 or 4 bucks which I dont take, or its 8 bucks for 2 miles, or 15 bucks at. Night for 6 miles. Door dash is more in the middle
Seems this tips should just be common sense. 🤷♀️
what if bike gets damaged while delivering food on uber eats?
Hahahahaha hahahahaha. Good luck with that in Hawaii. Hahahahaha hahahahaha. Must be nice to be in the state you are in. It sucks here in Hawaii same places same people.
Well, just drive across the state line to another state.
Oh, wait... ;-)
I do not get your videos? Uber Eats does not tell you the amount your delivery will pay nor the tip, NADA. NO! The number you see has no relation to what they are paying. You only get a percentage of that number depending on the perk. So what are you talking about? Do not believe me then you Uber Eat people look at your first delivery of the day and see what it paid.
I like mahoney
For one: don’t have your driver yell at me when I come around the corner at my place.
if you are an ubereats driver please do not take this guys advice. Its honestly terrible advice.
Uh, okay.
(What's yours?)
#1 Thing to NEVER do, under any circumstances... is to accept multiple orders!!
If you make another delivery along the way, you are getting 1 star rating without question.
I disagree
The one main thing you should be doing for Uber eats is quit.
When I first started to drive on Uber eat it’s a little busy for me. After 3 or 4 weeks I don’t get many orders. I don’t understand why? Maybe me or not busy area.
