  6. Uber not taking more drivers until spring?, is it true? WOW I am so curious what is the next move, they have to do something...
  7. I am trying to make a list with the most commons reasons for being deactivated 1- Receiving poor ratings from passengers 2-Violating the terms and conditions you signed for 3-Driving a different car 4-Allowing someone else to drive in your place 5-Accepting or cancelling too many jobs 6-Fraud activity What do you say? anything else in mind?
  8. Yes, give it back and get the money , with EE you can share your allowance between different devices. If you have one contract with and you want to start the second, you can tell them you want to share the data for the second one so you can pay the minimum. I had 10GB on my first contract and when i went for the second so i can use for Uber i just told them i want to pay the minimum and to share the data from the first one and i am paying £12 for the second one
  9. The best app will be to cut the number of drivers or to increase the number of the jobs I dont know how you can guide the drivers if you dont have access to Ubers realtime data?????
  10. There is a trick to stop immediately a bailiff : Appeal the PCN by making a what is called a statutory declaration (or "stat dec") and a witness statement. After the issue of a Warrant of Execution you can still make a Witness Statement but in order to do so you will have to get and complete an "Out of Time Witness Statement Form" TEC will send you the forms to complete. When you have completed the forms, email them back Traffic Enforcement Centre tec.bulkcentre@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk or bailiffs@northampton.countycourt.gsi.gov.uk Enforcement action is suspended usually by 4pm the same day under Paragraph 8.1 of Practice Direction 75.8 The law says the warrant of execution ceases to have effect and the authority must inform any bailiff instructed to levy execution of the withdrawal of the warrant as soon as possible.
  11. I can confirm, this dashcam is amazing . Helped me in a hit and run accident, i was paid for the damage. Very good quality day and night

  14. Guys i want to know if someone is working for Addison Lee and if can they clear £500 per week for a total of 50 hours in that week being on the road. IF yes, then is better than Uber , i cant handle the frustration any more, don't know about you but at the end of the week after you cut the car , diesel, insurance, bla bla bla and youre profit is around 400 500 then why should i invest my time and money for a car and service which i can get it for free from Addison Lee because the car is not an asset is a god damn liability....You work almost a week just for the car and insurance
  15. I just want to ask who is still making £1000 from Thursday to Sunday, 4 days?? I made in the last 2 days £550, but my guess becayse is end of the month and, more busy than usual! I want to hear your opinions...
  16. Once again, i will always say. JAPANESE cars!!!! http://www.wfaa.com/story/money/cars/2015/05/07/consumer-reports-cars-over-200000-miles/70956532/ Here's the list of cars most likely to hit 200,000 miles: •Toyota Prius •Toyota Camry, with a four-cylinder engine • Honda Odyssey • Honda Pilot •Toyota Corolla • Honda Accord sedan, also with a four-cylinder engine • Honda CR-V •Toyota Sienna •Toyota Highlander • Honda Civic, but not the hybrid, Si or GX
  17. I think there are many things to take in consideration, but like Uber is saying, the average is minim £1000/week for regular hours......but things are getting harder and harder these days
  18. Well done Haji, what is the update now? how much you made since you posted this?)
  19. I never heard about such a thing in London, BIO DIESEL, where can you do that??? How much does it cost per litre? Do you need a special engine??
  20. So one of the most talked about questions that we see on the forums, is from new prospective drivers asking if they should drive for Uber. I'm sure most of you would say everything I need to know is on Uber's web site. Well that's actually not the case. Uber will tell you their requirements, but that's no way to make a decision. You need to take many more items into consideration before you make the plunge. Here are a few items to consider that will prepare you for life as an Uber driver. 1. Take a look at your car That's right, take a good look at the car you drive, ask yourself would you have a problem getting into it and paying for a ride. Are you prepared for your car to have it's doors slammed, garbage left on the floor, people dropping stuff on the seats. Or better still that 3AM burger making an encore appearance all over your car because the owner couldn't hold it down after a night of tequila shots. Then there is the wear and tear you will put on it. You will see noticeable increases in your mileage for sure. This could have your car's value drop like a rock. 2. Take a look at yourself Ask yourself are you of the right mindset to deal with customers. There will be times when you will deal with difficult and annoying people. You will be dealing with drunks, people with flirtatious behavior, and demanding people. Individuals who couldn't give directions to save their life, and in some cases don't even know where they are in their own city. You will need to deal with people who give directions that will expect you to be psychic. If that kind of thing frustrates you just don't do this job. There is a high degree of fake smiles and ass kissing to keep your customer happy to some degree. This is not to say that this is the norm. Most passengers you meet will be genuinely happy. But for the 5% who will drive you crazy you need to exercise a level of cool you may not be accustomed to. 3. Look at your Location You probably are saying "I'm in a big city, this will be easy" Well you need to take a few factors before going into this. a) What are your rates - Look at the current rates in the city for rideshare and do a real life cost breakdown of what you will make for every mile driven. Ask if you will be making money. Do you know your City - Knowing your city is important. If you don't, learn first by driving it before taking passengers. Also know the street rules and restrictions inside the city. they could be different than what you are used to during busy times like rush hour. c) Know the laws - Just because Uber says you can do it you need to do your own research on the by-laws in your area. Be sure to ensure you are not doing anything illegal. (There is a difference though between being no laws to support and not being legal) 4. Weigh in on the Risks Be sure you know the risks with driving. You have many things you need to consider. The biggest and most talked about is insurance. Know what you are covered and what you are not covered for. There is also the income risks to consider. Rideshares control your income flow, not you. If you have expenses that you are incurring to drive, and the rates are slashed in your area, you may find it hard to make enough to earn a living. We have seen that this happened in many markets. The margins can get very tight in any market, and without a clear understanding or exit strategy you can find yourself in a financial mess. There are many more risks I'm sure that are not covered here but this is some of the more common ones. And they are big enough that if any apply to you and are not willing to accept the risks the other points won't matter. There is a silver lining So for all the concerns out there and things to consider there are some benefits to rideshares. They are new and the cool thing for many customers. Being popular and well liked by the masses is never a bad thing. One of the big draws is you can make your own hours. Turn on the app anytime you feel like it. Got an hour to kill, make some quick money on the side. Want to work only the busy rush times, go for it. There is no commitment. The other thing that you will find is you can make a difference in your community. If people have been slaves to the Taxi industry in your area, your contribution could help make change. And the one thing everyone can agree on is you make some money on your vehicle that does nothing but suck all the money you can throw at it. I. Also you can write off those expenses on your taxes at the end of the year. Something you may not be able to do in your current role. With all that said everyone needs to do their research. The forum is full of some great information by many members. Most who have been doing this a long time. Take the advice to heart as this will work for some, for others there may be better alternatives You too can find driving others out there rewarding and profitable.
  21. I need to make some more money. How can I increase the amount of money that I make each day? This is important as I’m trying to make this my only job.
