I tried the uber offer from DLC, fully com £1,990

Yes just this year, i knwo a guy with 58 who is able to work this year I am concern about 10 plates, there are plenty of us who own 10 plate, i dont know what is the limit for this??? Any idea?

It was very busy obviously

£470 in 9 hours v lucky with one big job i heard some people on lux made around £700 12 hours shift Ole Uber - pay day - not constant but still grateful

so, no university huh??

Use it every day, put money back every week, wait 6 months and go apply for car finance

waze????? or google maps???

Is this a serious question??? your car is checked anyway, every 6 months, MOT!!!!

Dont worry about it, best way is to win more and more 5 stars rating!!

Dodgy dealers in Birmingham, i went on last Friday there to buy a car after having a very interesting conversation and i was assured that the car has no scratches rear door handlers, i got there and guess what, plenty of scratches!!!! Made waist my time and money!!

IF do all of these, you are banned from Private hire system, totally illegal!! I hope you are not asking about driving penalties?

I google it, cant find anything related to this news!!!!

Hi Stern and welcome Check this topic If your work in weekends, which is the busiest time, you can achieve your target £300 profit per week

I totally agree with your math!!! Loads of people dont take in consideration the car value depreciation and tyre wearing along with other parts!!

Is a hassle for nothing mate, hospitals have special contracts with different cab companies, there is no point for this!!! or maybe youre trying to say someting else???

Exactly, the impact for doing this will be minimal. There is no point, better try to improve your rating if you have problems, its like a long term investment instead of short term!!

I was so close to change my car for a new model, but with the last news i will not do it any more, why should i invest my money when they are taking those money from me which will help me to improve my business . Thanks god i didn't do it!!!

Hi there Wolf and welcome, I am guesssing you want to try uberX, they are very busy, you don't have time to smoke a cigarette Yes, i will try to answer your points: 1- I always work when is busy, which from 5am to 10 am or 10 pm-2am, if you can start from 5 pm to 2am , is more than enough 2- If you make £200 piounds , lets say you have to drive 100 miles 3- depends on your skills and how many hours you work, you can make even 40 jobs in one day 4-forget about the car cost per mile, with uberX , you drop someone and pick some one else, very few dead mileage 5-imagine if you have your personal car, you still have to repair that car, insurance, service, 6-insurnace depends on different factors, age, no claim bonus, how long pco license On short, this is just like any other business, you invest some money so you can make some profit, now depends how much you're willing to invest. FOr example, you work 6 days /week 10 hours, with an average of £200 daily, you get £1000 /week home after uber commission From those 1000 cut the petrol, insurance, service, tax.....insurance should around £50/week, petrol £100 and plus how much money you want to put aside for future service and tax man. £850 every week for 60 hours job that is roughly £3000/month and no BOSS:)

You can not, because you have to upload your insurance to them, they will check it. If it runs out, you are out as well, u cant go online!

well said mate

Work out your tax and national insurance bill for the next two tax years, up to 2017 The Government has announced the new tax rates and allowances for the next three tax years. The personal allowance will rise from £10,000 this tax year to £10,600 on April 6, which was previously announced. This means the first £10,600 you earn will be tax free for most workers. This will rise to £10,800 in 2016/17 and £11,000 the following year. The starting level of the 40pc tax will also rise from £41,865 to £42,385 on April 6. It will then rise to £42,700 in 2016/17 and £43,300 in 2017/18. Use the calculator to work out how much you will pay. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/tax/11481242/Budget-calculator-Your-new-income-tax-and-national-insurance-bill.html

Just be sure you have at least iPhone4s

Use recovery mode You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases: iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode. You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar. You see the Connect to iTunes screen. To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps: Turn off your device and leave it off. Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode. Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.

I discovered today that your Uber device doesn't have to remain locked down in order to function. In fact, you can perform a hard factory reset on the device, then after setting up your Apple account, etc you can simply use the BYOD link from Uber to reinstall the Uber driver app. Works like a charm with no interruption. You still pay the fee, but you no longer have a neutered device.
