SternMan100 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi Was hoping some experienced London Uber drivers could give me some advice really. I have a 9-5 Mon-Fri and want to be pro active and earn more money, every Uber driver I have met speaks so highly of it and claim that they may a killing (albeit 4-5 hundred a week). I am thinkin of signing up I have been told the PCO process is about £350 all in, then a suitible car £3-4K mark - Insignia or Mondeo. Then 20% Uber commision then the commericial insurance. My question is, is it worth my while working thursday, friday and Saturday nights? Can I realistically earn £300 profit a week? If not what is realistic a month? Look forward to your replies!

Look forward to your replies! £3-4k??? You need at least 2010 model so you can drive another 2 years. I dont think you can buy with £4k a decent car from 2010, can you???

SternMan100 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks for you replies. I have read that Uber accepts 09 cars an beyond only. I have seen Mondeo's and Insignia's for around 3-5k So far from reading this forum it does sound believable of making 300ish profit a week.

I dont think is ok to buy a 09 plate, i will advise you to go for 11 plate, not such a big difference but less mileage and you can use it until 2017, 09 plate just this year, there is no point for investing in 09 plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
