With the prices of electricity, things are not so good for electric cars conversion rate from drivers, is better driving a hybrid car than electric, unless you charge at home after 11.30pm when is cheaper

O2 all the way!! I agree, good signal everywhere, i mean everywhere, even inside buildings, elevators

is not going to happen , too much money in between

Of course NOT, they advertise on the radio all day long, you have to be very naive to think for 1 sec there is a chance for a ban

I can see an increase honestly in my income I mean, it adds up, 10 jobs a days and 5 minutes wait, is almost 1h gone for nothing. Now i can get around £5 for that hour if they are late, which is still something. But guess what, customers dont make us wait any more hahaha

I really like the idea of these compliments honestly, makes things better for us with these templates and my rating has improved since then. Its more clearly now , at least we have some kind of explanations from riders ratings

I agree, like it as well but still we dont have any explanation for bad ratings which i find the best tool to improve as we can see where the mistake was made, right?

4% is not realistic, uber will have been dissolved if so but 40% indeed is more realistic although it can not be sustainable at this rate

How do you handle those silent customers who can be a bit scary sometimes? I never start a conversation if I am not being asked for it, not saying is boring but I am wondering is it just me or they are not in the mood for talk?

Uber has no more than 500 drivers and if you take in consideration the other companies, maybe 1,000 is the total in London. 1% of the total number of PH drivers same as millionaires in London

I hear about one in ten, to one in twenty jobs are Exec, rest are X.

 

I have never tried doing both, I'm always on Exec only.

 

My car as you see in my avatar is ridiculous to use on X. 

 

Thank you LUED

Do you have any idea what is the average for X jobs if you select to receive both of them via car configuration? NUmber plate options?

Thank you LUED

I read the BBC news regarding the English test where our Mayor said it should not contain written test as it makes no sense, I know the deadline is SEPT 2017 but i can only hope they will get rid of written test

The waiting time for jobs is increasing every month...its almost the same when comparing to X in terms of income but much higher liability

I know driving for UberX you can get jobs non stop but in the same time for Exec and Lux and waiting time can be up to 40 minutes, I am thinking to go back to X, what is your average guys?

the question is how much £ per hour , should be minim £10

I know these guys for quite some times, I was waiting for them to be ready and they are NOW.

Wow this looks so cool guys,

I searched online, apparently is does some good but there is no real research 

I still think is better to change the engine oil (good one, full synthetic like Mobil1 ) once at 6000 miles

Don't buy an Exec car just to upgrade, as you still have to do X and Pool jobs. Probably only 1 in 10 jobs will be an Exec job. 

Also don't buy a Lux car specifically for Uber unless you already have your own clients, and you just use Uber in your downtime to make a little extra beer money when you wouldn't have been doing anything anyway. 

I agree, but don't forget the feeling of driving a brad new E class after you had a shit job all your life

I am always listening to Heart radio, I find a good choice for every-kind of customer. Kiss is too loud maybe, Magic is too slow, Classic maybe??

Hi there and welcome, I am sure someone will pop in and offer you a car.

You can find cars from £120/ week like Insignia or £150 for a Prius from different Uber drivers but without insurance.

If you select a big company ask for a price and make a comparison with what other drivers can offer you, mostly the big companies they will provide insurance as well, for something in the region of £220/week for a Prius with fully comprehensive insurance.

I will advise you to search for a lease car as you pay around £400 a month

same here, just one job on surge, no more than £20/hour, although it seems the dodgy thiing is happening again. Some gets the jobs faster than others, i am going to make print screens again... and post it here

I found these guys, for my car quotation is £400/year for £2500 claim limit.

What do you think?

Cars has to be below 120,000 miles

I am happy with UBER!!!

I make my money, i pay my bills, i can still work on a different project...

I keep hearing people complaining about Uber but in the same time everybody is waiting for car upgrade, class upgrade, everyone has plans....people queuing to be be on uber platform.

- Do you think if your work in the office  from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday is it going to be better????

To be at 9am at work you heave to leave the house by 8, wake up by 7.

Leave work at 5, getting home by 7pm......so in total 12 hours of your time x5 days = 60 hours for an average £2000/month if you are lucky ( do you think you can afford to pay for your car, diesel and insurance from those £2000???? )

Ok, you have social life after 7pm and in weekends some will say but you can have that with uber as well if your efficient.

- Working for uber 60 hours a week, will generate you £1000 week that is £4000/month, and you can have social life if you are not greedy.....

Working or not for UBer , you still need a car, insurance, fuel...at least Uber will pay for it, be grateful in life

You should try the odour at rush-time in the bus or underground, next when you press the AC button inside your car think about.....

STOP COMPLAINING, dont like it then change it but You like it
