I drive in Philly . I drive Fri and Sat nights only. Roughly 10p-3a. I avg $200 a night not counting cash tips. It’s there just need to find it.
That’s awesome! Some of the main factors are the market (city) and the locations within that market…a smaller market drivers probably won’t expect to earn as much.
These are best days of the year, Be practical about what you highlight, If you show a pattern of your weekly earnings for 6 months , I will agree with you. Not that I am complaining, there are days I have sat and made $10 from 5pm to 11pm. So we cannot compare just with the Glorious days… The other thing I feel bad about certain rides is $2.00 rides, I drive a Caddy SUV , On a daily basis I get about 3 to 5 rides which is about $2.50 a ride , which is I drive about 2 miles to pick a rider up and drop them 1.5 miles. I feel Uber has to make the ride minimum $5.00.
Super interesting, thanks!
Here’s my last week in July… I don’t work crazy long hours like some… I work when it’s busy or I go home.
If I’m not making $20+ before expenses it’s not worth it.
Uber drivers can make up to $25 per hour in some locations. Earnings vary from one driver to another, as it depends on what vehicle you use, where you drive, and how often.
According to a survey conducted by Ridester in 2021, the average hourly pay for Uber drivers in the United States is $16.55 after expenses. However, this can vary greatly depending on location and other factors such as the type of vehicle driven and the number of hours worked.
Another study by the Economic Policy Institute in 2018 found that the average hourly wage for Uber drivers in the United States was $9.21 after deducting expenses and taking into account the fact that drivers are considered independent contractors and are responsible for their own insurance and other expenses.
It’s worth noting that pay for Uber drivers can be highly variable and dependent on a number of factors, including location, time of day, and demand.
