  1. I see people so excited to move from X to Exec or Exec to Lux but is it really such a big difference taking in consideration the amount of extra costs you have??

    I mean its all comes to £/hour. Driving for X you can get £20/hours while driving for Exec or Lux i dont think you can get more than £30/hour if youre lucky.

    Who can disagree or agree?

    Using the marketing skills...google it.

    1st- make your customer feel important by asking if the temp is ok, the music, if he is thirsty ...

    2- be nice, ask him how was his day but dont push it if you dont get more than a straight answer

    3-ask him about his favourite route

    4-car clean, you clean and smart looking if possible

    Simple and efficient

  3.  In terms of the symptoms of the carbon build-up, typically the noise from the engine contains all the usual tick over noises and fans/pulleys, but is very 'bass-heavy' with a lot of low level rumble, shaking, etc. With the process I'm using this typically disappears within the first 10 minutes and the car idles better. The revs then climb quicker and any flat spots (if carbon related) are eliminated.

    The rumble is down to the engine struggling, with added friction, reduced 'breathing'. Remove the carbon and the bass notes disappear, the engine works better and as a result you can recover MPG (notice I didn't say gain).
     

    My car does this, have you ever tried this new thing called hydrogen engine cleaner??

    Components such as Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve (EGR), Turbo and Injectors can all dramatically benefit from the removal of carbon using Green Engine Machine.....they say

    When you lease cars, the first monthly payment is usually a bigger payment than normal, in this case the first monthly payment is 6 times as normal, then there's 35 monthly payments after that (3 years). 

     

    Therefore my first monthly payment was £3020.76 (£503.46 x 6), then 35 monthly payments of £503.46. 

     

    Which averages out at £573.39 per month. 

    So you are paying 20k and what will happened after those 3 years, the car will be your or you just give it back?

    WHat is the difference between lease and finance a car?sorry for being such a newbie but i just dont understand

  5. I made everyday more than £300, who is saying is not busy and not making money i think is wasting time to refer new drivers so he can win the fokin Prius :))

    So....guys push it this week, more than £35/hour , is very good. We can complain next week :) when another 400 new uber drivers will be on the road

  6. Experienced drivers make £4,000 a month anyway. 

     

    During last December, Uber were doing a £4,000 guarantee, whereby if you meet their criteria and don't earn £4,000 during that month, they will top up your earnings in January to £4,000. Many UberX drivers who met and exceeded that criteria, earned more than the £4,000 anyway. 

     

     

    Yes, but what i am saying is , from those £4000 your profit is around £2000, less than 50% after commission increased

     

    total                                       4000

     

    uber commission         25%   -1000     before 20%  -800

    petrol                                     -500

    car wash                                -50

    insurance                               -200

    car value depreciation           -200

    car parts  wearing                  -100

     

    profit                                      £1950     before £2150

     

     

    What do you say LUED???

  7. Everybody is sad, i spoke with all my driver friends, they can not believe it, i remember in the beginning Uber used to make some meetings with drivers make us feel a real partner and now they just take the rug under our feet with not question asked!!!

     

    Shame shame shame

     

    But like someone said, availability is more important for them than the quality of the jobs

  8. Well, depends on how much money u make on the specfic week

     

    If you make £1000/week you have to cut the weekly expenses like insurance , petrol, tax man , car depreciation .

    Some will say you real income will be around £600 from those £1000 but i think its unreal, looking at my histroy in the last 2 weeks.

     

    My expenses are around £360 from £1600 made
