Sobco Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi, this is my first post on this forum I have found this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/17604/624431/Y7zQdJ2MhFNU81M/Approved%20list%2024122014-v2.pdf Is this a FULL list of ALL accepted cars? also, they wrote, that estate cars are not permitted, and everywhere on their website, they use term "saloon", just to make sure, do they accept hatchback body?(for example they talk about prius as about saloon, tough it seems to be an hatchback ) Thank you.

LUED Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes, they accept hatchbacks, as certain cars on that list (e.g. Prius) are only sold as hatchbacks. Definitely no estates. Best to e-mail Uber to double check before committing to buying a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding cars, the list is accurate, but Lued is right, better check before feeling sorry, welcome to our community mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well the list was published in Dec 2014, and they do update the list every few months, consdering it's now April. They may possibly start deactivating "09" plate cars soon, and only cars 2010 or newer will be allowed on the platform. About the commission, yes it has increased to 25%, starting from next Monday, though passenger fares will also increase to reflect that. The e-mail is only sent to UberExec drivers. They say there shouldn't be much different to driver's pay anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobco Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks for all replies. I've sent a message to uber about cars, but without answer. Ive created this topic, beacause when i go to add cars, there we have much more cars to choose than appears on the list i provided above, for example, there is no chevy cruze on the list from DEC 2014, but there is chevy cruze in add cars section.

Sobco Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi, i dont know why, but uber doesn't answer on emails. Do you know if they accept mercedes e class w212 year 2010/2011 in Uber X? on the list appears mercedes e class (old shape) >2009, but picture attached presents the <2009 model.

admin Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 with e class 2010/2011 you can go directly to EXEC, although they dont recruit at the moment. For UberX i will consider something like Vauxhall Insignia, you get a 2013 plate for around £9,000 very low mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobco Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thank you admin for your answer, i very apreciate it, but i still dont know if this car is accepted in uberX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 You will find it hard to turn a profit on a 2010/2011 E-Class on UberX rates anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobco Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Why? I think consumption isnt bigger than in insignia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Brakes, tyres and insurance are probably going to be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobco Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi, i couldnt find any topic about LPG, what is your opinion about petrol car with LPG? The cost of fuel would be probably very close to prius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfusion Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 How much does it cost to install LPG system into ur car? how much the gas tank? what is the autonomy?Do you have any experience with LPG?Definitely is very cheap to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 depends on the used components and garage, cost of installation would be from around £650 to £950(total cost)i have heard about dual diesel as well(LPG in diesel) but cant find any information on the internet about this system.

basescu Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 LPG in diesel is impossible, but for a petrol engine i found it very good investment on long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobco Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 LPG in diese is possible(called dual fuel in UK).Just wondering how is it with MOT and insurance, do i need do inform my insurer about this change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, to provide clarity, I can tell you that we will allow 09 plates throughout 2015. We will of course let you and all our partners know well in advance of a change in any plans.Many thanks for your continued partnership on the platform.Best,Michaelhelp.uber.com ____________________ I sent the email twice and got the exact same reply from two different people also, same wording like it was from a list of responses lol but at least gives some idea to anyone thinking of getting an 09 reg vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
