No, do not accept every trip or you will be making $7 a hour after you add the entire amount of time you worked. Been doing this for 5yrs, don't sell yourself out doing that. Log off and go to surge zones, then, turn on and select a trip. Acceptance rate does not matter now with upfront pricing. Your customer rating and cancellations matter the most.
All facts!
I try to do that and every time I turn on in the surge area I don't get the surge amount or it'll just disappear before I activate it
I am new to this and tryin to get my acceptance rate up because when I first started I didn’t know about acceptance rate and was just declining offers to see what was in my area. On thurs I accepted (almost) every ride and ended up making $347 in 10ths and averaged $1.57 a mile. Got lucky I guess but I’ll take it
@@DTownDesignswhat market are you in?
@@jairogiraldo6270 Dallas Texas…It’s really fell off since I wrote this
I just recently switched my driving hours to 9pm to 5-7am and I find those are the best hours if you want to eliminate traffic.
I love working at night!
I just switched to night in DC too. From 10p-6am and it’s AMAZING!
@@elisobais yo man we should link up. I'm also in DC area live in Alexandria VA. Been doing the night shit and I love it. No traffic is nice.
You ain’t never lie
@Jerryjr79 @elisobais I drive in nova but never do rides to dc/md. Crime is a major factor I take into consideration. I mean just this week an Uber driver was car jacked in MD.
Very helpful tips. I noticed once I decline a few low ball offers than I will get higher paying Trip.
True measure is to look at the time per hr. I know I'll get a "low ball" offer but the higher offer is still the same rate per hour. So you take rate, let's say 7 for 15 minutes total so picking guy up and dropping them off, you multiply it by 4 to get hourly rate of 28. That's the same thing as 14 dollars for 30 minutes trip, but you feel like the 14 might be a better offer or perhaps the 7 sounds better to you because it sounds like a quick trip. Obviously wait times mess this up, but it gives you a good reference, plus if you think 4 trips you are bound to get 1 to tip you at least 3 bucks... I've noticed that most of the trips are very similar, but the destination is what makes it better, if I can anticipate a surge in the drop-off that's when a trip can pay good, short trips are where you can bank on. City driving is always a no, especially if it leads away from major freeway access.
Dont let riders crowd your car. Extra weight consumes more fuel and they normally dont tip.
You got that right.
You do great videos man. I get anxiety out here sometimes driving, but you help me get that inspiration. Thanks! Let's go get that money! There's gold out there in them streets!
Yeah man, Nashville Uber driver here, you can get stuck in downtown party traffic for hours chasing a $20 ride, only to find the route the app took you is blocked off by police. I learned to just drop people off downtown, turn off the app, and drive about 10 miles out and turn it back on. Def helps my acceptance rating not declining those rides
I turned off my app after being stuck in traffic in Vegas earlier cause the traffic was barely moving and the impatient ones where crowding in front of everyone else! I suffered from shell shock and being traumatized until I drove away from the Strip and then set my area pickup in a 5 mile perimeter and it went so well! Going out tomorrow and I’ll do the same thing and my area does not cover the Airport because most of those rides will want to go to the Strip! Not this great-grandma going to get caught in that traffic again, lol!
Mr. Spe!!!! appreciate you for the daily motivation pimpin
Thank you for this! I just asked you these questions on another video.. this is the answer! Thank you! You inspire me!
Always love you videos! Not too shabby!!!!
Really appreciate these tips and your valuable time. Time management is truly an important skill as a ride share driver. 🚙⛽️🛣️💰💰💰💰 Thank you, Ronnie. 🙂
Great video thank you
Great video man!
I drive 830 pm to about 630 am everyday.. definitely no traffic here in Atlanta around that time
Yup I definitely do night here in Atlanta days are way too hectic
I love driving at night
I’m in Atlanta and yes daytime is hectic and accident prone 😅
How much a week working those hours?
Good info my friend
When I decline 1 or 2 trips with Lyft they start threatening me 😂
😅😅😅😅me too
You'll be driving a lot of unnecessary miles if you accept every ride.
I don't know. I think it depends on which market you drive in. For example in the LA market if its surge by hermosa and Manhattan Beach it's only about 2 miles. And most of the south bay doesn't travel outside of the area. So sometimes you can do 5 or 6 short rides. Making $6 to $8 a ride avg about $20 to $30 per hour with some decent tips. But that's also a big drinking area at night so I usually don't drive any of these areas anymore in the evenings since I figured out I still earn the same. Amount almost every day between 10am and 10pm. Usually only putting in about 8 to 9 hours.
Every market is different .. 22 minutes for $8 or $9 is pretty good in my area! Three trips an hour is $27 plus tips. 👍
Don't forget your mileage
@@Juan_rivera Exactly! You can write that off so you pay less in taxes!
I think most drivers do Lyft/Uber in addition to a job, to make extra money. There are SO many tax deductions to use in driving, you can operate your Lyft/Uber business at a loss, which then lowers your tax burden for the job. 👍
@@WaltDittrich doesn't mean you shouldn't account for your mileage when driving wear and tear is a thing you have account for in the immediate
@@Juan_rivera Exactly. That's what I'm saying: Count your mileage. Keep track! Whether in a notebook or a spreadsheet. Keep track so you can tally it up. 65.5¢ for every mile? That's huge!!
As far as wear and tear goes, every driver is different. For me, I choose to have a newer vehicle. I will have a payment each month. It's a cost of doing business. That payment will be there. When I no longer want the vehicle, I will trade it in on a new one. Fortunately, I've been very successful with my vehicles. Same brand turning into the same brand of dealership. I don't know if they get incentives selling a new car or what, but I feel like I make out like a bandit!
If a vehicle is properly maintained, most will last an incredibly long time. Sure, that maintenance costs money (brakes, tires, etc.) but again, that's a cost of doing business. If one has a retail storefront, there's only so much you can do to lower the power bill or other utilities. Again, it's a cost of doing business that isn't going away.
So, I don't get caught up in the miles because they're always going to be there. For me, time is my most valuable asset. I want to generate the most money in the shortest amount of my time. (including empty vehicle time!)
@@WaltDittrich I'm talking about dollars to mile in every mile as well
Also do y’all make more doing airport trips ? Here in Dallas we have to get some type of clearance in order to do reoccurring pickups
Airport pickups in Dallas aren’t worth it anymore. Stick to the city. The airport is super saturated and drop offs are always short and pay really bad
Any time I’ve been sent on a drive an hour outside of the city…I never have to drive the full hour back before I get another ride.
I make $7000 a month doing Uber my rating or should I say my acceptance rating has never been above 50% but my customer service is a 4.98 and I do not accept every trip.
You drove 7 days a week?
@@Peejayyofficialtv you’re a year late my friend I’m only driving 5 days a week and my 1099 should be around $105,000
@Mr2231314 lol I just noticed it's been a MN! Of I see. But that's great! You must be in a busy area.
@@Peejayyofficialtv Richmond,Va 4:30-am-5:00pm m-f
@Mr2231314 oh ok thanks!
when driving for uber i dont see what ill be making until after the trip. i only see if there are surge prices being added to a trip before hand. I dont even see the total estimated trip miles. just how far they are from me currently until i get to them and then go into the next stage of the trip. I do uber on Long Island and I can tell you that if you dont have TC plates that you should try to start in the middle of nassau county cause if youre accepting rides in any towns that are close to or border queens, high chance itll be a ride into queens or brooklyn and then you wont get any other uber rides until youre back into nassau county since is mandatory to have TC plates to drive people in the 5 borrows
The answer is NO. If a person is paying $3.50 but it makes u drive 10 miles, don't accept it.
No sir phuc uber pay me more i aint taking a $6 ride for 35mins
I have some good level of experience and wanna add a lil 2 cents to events in your city. Especially in a major city. You can waste a lot of time locating riders in a crowded area during events so it’s best to always call your riders in advance to meet you at an EXACT location and not where the app wants you to pick them at.
I personally don’t like picking riders from event locations. Sometimes I won’t even go there but will get close enough to pick riders within the surge locations.
this answers a question i had! i was wondering if i should even bother trying to get people from the pickup lot (Sofi stadium)...even with the $5 bonus per trip, i could waste an hour stuck there trying to even pick people up. i think i'll stick to working the outer areas of the stadium.
@@SoCalCubanGrrl I’m glad this helped you. I have over 10,000 rides in Washington DC so you can imagine. City of conferences and events. Lol. After wasting so many minutes trying to pick up people from events, I learned my lesson at some point. IF THEY CAN’T MEET YOU AT AN EXACT LOCATION, you might end up wasting 15 plus minutes trying to locate them. Sometimes you will not even find them. LOL.
HERE’S THE TRICK! - ALWAYS GET INTO THE SURGE ZONE. You’ll always find riders within the event location that are not in the event location. BOOM!!! I still get that $7.5 extra. LOL
@@elisobais thanks for your help, these are great tips. i don't want to get suckered into that $5 bonus when i can only do like 2 rides during that time. do you recommend having the app off then turn it on once you get near the surge? the street i live on has a $13 - $15 surge every morning and i've never gotten more than $7 or $8 surge. i have always wondered if it's because my app is on so it doesn't look like i'm coming into the surge, because i was already there.
@@SoCalCubanGrrl This is a great question cos after all these many trips, I sometimes miss the exact location of the highest surge amounts.
I’m currently studying surges closely but here’s what I’ve come to know thus far. Uber tends to move the exact location of the highest surge amount IN CERTAIN AREAS the closer you get to it. LMAO. They’re trifling as hell. Hahaha
HOWEVER, I’ve caught a lot of them lately. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE APP CURSOR IS ON THE SURGE AMOUNT. The cursor indicates where you as the driver is located and not just within the surge location ring. That is working for me so I’ve been catching the high surge amounts lately.
And YES! Turn off your app until you get to the surge location. Unless you’re racking up rides and not money. As Ronnie shared, you will have to know what you’re chasing that day or week. IS IT NUMBER OF RIDES OR MONEY?
@@elisobais ok. i will take the tip of the surge amount into account, i always thought it was just in the vicinity, but that makes sense. the morning $13 - $15 surges i see in the morning is a bit further down the street by a few blocks. i'll make sure i'm DIRECTLY over the surge amount lol. and i can totally see uber shifting the surges on people!
it's like we're constantly trying to outsmart the algorithm. i just started a week ago, so far i have made pretty good money in LA, but i know there's more to be made by working smarter. thanks for all your tips! i'm going to try my hand at an event today. i need to figure out how to not get taken out of the area. i think i'll set a destination that's a mile or so away from the stadium and see if it will keep me in the general area. thanks again for your insight!
I recently made platnium and still I dont get where Im going once I pick up the rider (before hand) only shows me minutes to complete the trip and general direction, which, n.s.e.w, im bad at lol I take basically every trip offered unless its more than 60min I see a lot of 2hr and 49min trips thats probabky a Chicago destination from where I am in Peorua. I cant drive that far myself ill get highway hypnotized 😮
I noticed this weekend that after consistently making 315 .00 every weekend night last night same hours but super small trips and didn’t make my 315 night goal was so confused
The music is annoying when trying to listen
They changed it now. I love spending 18 mins just to get there for a 3 min ride. Still be like $20
Those trips are ok. I love not having anyone in my car for the majority of the trip.
Man I treat Uber just like doordash lol
What you mean?
Can you do a update video of this video.🙏
No I do NOT LOL... I won't accept a $2.64 delivery order to drive 6 miles when I could double that price or more, and go 1-2 miles. The whole acceptance ratings is stupid. Contractors shouldn't be penalized for this but for canceling too many orders yes. This example is referring to Food delivery service but overall drivers should accept whatever they want.
You have a favorite energy drink
Does Uber control what they send you trip wise? I mean I always get longer 30-60 dollar trips and last night all short super short. Does signing up for the quest affect that
It depends on the area you're in and the amount of drivers in the area
I get those trips often like today I had a dr appointment needed to kill about an hour and 15min I turned app on and got a 24min trip took 15 to get the rider 24 min to his drop and 30 min to my dr lol worked out great
I was in the middle of a shoot out recently got it on tape
I thought uber and lyft does not use acceptance rate to deactivate drivers.
The number one reason if you except every trip you better be in the market at least going only three minutes away and if you except every trip you better be in the market that at least pays $25 an hour and not put more than 100 miles on your car I’m just lucky to work in a casino market or only work XL and it make at least 250 a night was not a problem working eight hours but everybody’s market is different. You basically got a learn these things in each market a lot a new driver is coming on board, they try to keep everybody $25 an hour. It’s all about algorithms your first or second your third or fourth especially when you have a lot of drivers in the area but it’s not the case at all markets. I only know my own market and I know how to receive lots of tips from customers, yeah chips casino chips and being ambassador to your market I’m just saying
My guy always nice I have a question is this smart to do in Vegas I just moved out here and working Amazon driver now making only 20hr
Been thinking hard to go full time for lift in leave Amazon driver need any advice my guy 💯💯
Have you left Amazon and started driving for Uber? I heard Vegas is a great place to drive because the airport rides pay little money but are fast.
I have a question for the experienced Uber drivers. Does getting certain levels like Platinum or Diamond improve your quest $$$…Because right now mine is low. Like 80 for and extra $75…just wondering
…also wondering
what camera do you use for this video?
This my 2nd day and I've declined alot!! Offering me 2$ to 5$ but the miles are higher than pay.🤦🏻♀️
How has Uber worked out for you? Are you still declining a lot of rides?
The amount don't matter, i was my AR was sub 50 before 500 rides brio
Ronnie Spe 60hrs 2Racs week$
I heard is not legal to kick u off for not accepting rides because we aren’t employees but we are independent contractors.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Bay is different. People tip and the rides pay pretty good. I been driving for 8+ years and my acceptance rate was like 99%. I moved to Houston and that changed in 2 months time and it is now at 35%. I just can't take a $3 trip tha takes 20mins and d
Going 7miles.
Uber current Quest - 200 rides by February 5th for $2,400
for me i dont have that :(
@@qaecobitv2295 it was for new drivers only
What does the quest mean? How does it work
what is your lowest pay to accept?
Depends what I want to achieve for that particular day . I think it’s more about understanding your market and what trips are more beneficial to you.
I've yet to see a dollars to mile ratio explanation from Ronnie... like ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS do you not factor in miles Ronnie lol
I make 300$ easy every day like cake 🍰
What city?
No.
How much % you put to the side for taxes
Depends on your state, but safe bet is usually 25%
Does gold help with making more with uber
I’ve noticed the higher the tier the better customers you get
@@salih8043 I can see how that would definitely benefit Uber. They want their good customers to have a good experience.
I got screwed AGAIN 😠 Last night, driving for Lyft, I accepted an offer paying (UPFRONT) $13 for 28 minutes going 19 miles to the airport. The trip actually took 40 minutes!!! There was crazy traffic at LAX. I honestly think this Ratchett App is UNDERESTIMATING travel time. Is it on purpose or is it bad programming?? Hmmm. That is the question. I keep getting screwed on travel time. I drive relatively fast. And it only took 4 minutes to get to the pick up location. The upfront pricing on Lyft driver app is either a big FAIL or it's a total FRAUD. Either way, it SUCKS & I'm not getting paid for my time. Only miles (70 cents/mile) & surge bonuses. This is an upfront screw job.
Stick to Ontario or Burbank stay away from lax !!!
13$ for 19 miles? Never accept trash rides like this…
$1 per mile
Hell no
kicked off ?? for what ??
How much can I make today driving 12 hours 7 days for uber in Miami and Lauderdale? Gross income and profit.. please.. who can help?
Idk go figure it out . I don’t live in Florida. Good luck
Acceptance rates don’t matter anymore
NOPE
Its funny how he be making fun of them white boys lol
He’s a secret agent for Uber!
This might be the worst advice ronnie has ever given lmao, AR has never and will never matter, the people that for deactivated die to thinking it was their AR had nothing to with it they were probably thinking they were declining when they canceled.
Big dog with the amount of money you have made. You should have a house under your name at the least. That’s what I’m on for the new year
Do not take every trip, this hurts other drivers and teaches the algorithm that you like bad paying jobs. Your acceptance rating does not matter and the perks for keeping it high do not even come close to making up for cherrypicking. If you were mowing lawns and maintaining equipment or doing any other like job, you would have set rates based on what you thought were fair for your services. This number would not change based on how busy it is or would not be lessened just to get work. Professionals who undercut in their market only hurt themselves in the end. Remember, you have to set money aside for gas, repairs, insurance and taxes. Do not lowball yourself, even veteran drivers I see still shoot themselves in the foot. I hear, "I wasnt getting any jobs or it is slow out there" and they will actually take jobs that pay them $15-20 an hour instead of just driving when it is busier.
Here in Long Island N.Y. we can't take trips west into Manhattan or jersey because we can not take anyone back to the island and that means what you make is cut in half. Say rush hour it'll take 90 minutes into Manhattan but that means 90 empty minutes back. It'll kill your day
I'm from New jersey and it's the same thing for us when we go to NY. Unless I go to spring valley with no tolls because it's by the border.
Same here in the Westchester market. If I really need the money when I'm outside the market, I'll just set my destination back into the market and do UberEATS til I'm back inside. But usually, I'll just call it a day if rush hour traffic persists into the later hours.
Is Uber decent here on the island? I do eats currently
@@LetThereBeLightxx Without knowing what we get paid per trip, hard to say. Just depends on your location, time, and luck of a pick up
Let’s EAT... 🧇🧇🧇
Hell no
