No NO NO, as long i am there in the estimated time zone and the customer is not arriving in 5 minutes my job is done. NO SHOW and move on, no customer worth waiting more than 5 minutes....ah ok, if the customer is calling me and say i am sorry will be down in 5 minutes, then is a different situation! ( very rarely happening )

Well what are your thoughts on uber xl?
How badly has it impacted the other uber business in your area?

I have seen a dramatic drop in rids in the passed 3 months that uber xl has lunched here in london

On an average friday night I would have around 8-12 rides in an 6-8 hr shift, a few more on a saturday night give or take.
In the passed two months im lucky if I get 6-8.

Why the hell would uber under cut it self like this?

Obviously they make less on commission since now whoever doesn't care what vehicle they arrive / get picked up in has the choice of uber xl

Vauxhall Insignia
Is a very good buy, a 2013 model will cost you around £9000 and plus you still have warranty for it.
Its cheap, economical, fun to drive.
 
Compared to a prius is half the price, do the math , how much you have to drive to recover the running cost????
