QUOTE(2feidei @ May 17 2016, 10:00 AM) 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 I fully agree above the point!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. |

QUOTE(cx2531 @ May 17 2016, 11:13 AM) so the ride and payment before this wont be tax? as what i read in the newspaper, but the next ride will start to tax after they implement this? or overall will be tax? example count from the moment u ride maybe last year ago govt is considering to tax it. based on the current practise. uber will take 20-25% from the GP fare (exclude toll) if confirmed tax, we're expecting it to be 20+6% or 25+6% per trip then. |

QUOTE(ieian81 @ May 17 2016, 10:08 AM) Making 2500 gross driving full time is easily achieved. Drive for 10-12 days already can get. Provided you drive hard, don't try to take easy way out hide here hide there trying to game the system. i would like to add on the important point that you miss out =p You just need to factor in the 20% petrol cost, it's a very real cost. Things like car maintenance you calculate yourself. I am telling you this from 1111 trip experience so far. 4.81 rating. you need to ensure your car is clean all the time before the next day you fetch customer again by the way ~ mind to share your job history to prove your 1111 TRIPS |

I have been driving during the weekends at Penang Island as part time on and off.
Usually will drive about 2 weekends / month. Penang will usually get a lot short trips as Penang is not a big place. On average if I online for 4-5 hours, I will be able to get about 6-10 trips but mostly short ones. Trips are more but only average about RM10-12/hour due to very short trips usually, only worth less than RM5/trip. Surge of around 2-3x will exists once in a while, alot foreigners requesting around to visit tourist spots/cafes. Remember I once pick up someone with 2.8x then she wanted me to fetch her to war museum from Georgetown. Then she ask me to wait for her while she visited the museum. Then I wait & did not end the trip over there. Later on fetched her to Kek Lok Si and waited for her also. Overall distance is about 30km I think. After that fetch her to airport. The whole process took about 1 hour + but I earn about RM100+ from it. Not too bad I guess |
