ty in advance
ieian81*other forumer had answered. Best you go checked during the briefing
*no, they can't. They will be assigned to nearest driver. However, I knew some very particular customers when they see it is not their choice car, or even driver (sorry, it is reality, there will be always some racist customers), they will cancel the ride
*Uber own apps, available both in iOS and Google Playstore
*Yes, you can their apps can integrate to waze
*how much u can earn is depends how much or how long hours you willing to drive. For sure, the demand will be always there
*I had done my own calculation, i am driving part-time, Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. The money I earned, just barely able to cover my petrol (inclusive of my non-uber petrol), car maintenance, mobile phone charges (as you need use data and sometimes call/ sms customers) and tolls (not all tolls is can claim, for example, you go airport, most of time you come back empty car, unless u wait at airport, but then you not sure how long you will get request). So, assume you drive full time, I guess you may just get what you earn currently, or even less (not sure, need full time driver to validate), whether will able to cover your car installment, I don't know
Last advice, getting new car and driving full time? Not advisable. Reason, Uber are currently competing with Grab, slashing fares (Previous payout rate is much higher) and you got no say on it. The commission they took, currently 25% of the fare for all new drivers (used to be 20%), not sure if or when they will increase again. Plus, monthly fluctuation in petrol price will impact your cost, but your fare is fixed. They may further slash the fare, the consumer will gain, at expense of drivers. I know many drivers had stop driving altogether as it is not worthwhile. But, there are some can't because they purposely get a new car for this purposes, and they now become "slave", in addition to the cost mentioned above, now got to pay for car installment. In summary, Uber do not have driver interest at all, it behave more and more like those taxi owners/ company, you driver is just a contractor, all they care, every trip u made, they make cut of 25% without need of anything or cost, just cost of the apps. So, they just want you to do more trip. Worth it or not, you decide yourself.
