I assume that is gross income show in the UBER statement. Not net income after minus petrol, toll and car maintenance

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.

2.5-3k per week is indeed very high.

Max I tried before driving 14 hours per day for 6 days only RM1700 per week.

as what i read in the newspaper,
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.

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.

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.

i would like to add on the important point that you miss out =p

you need to ensure your car is clean all the time before the next day you fetch customer again biggrin.gif

hardcore driver (6am - 8pm) on weekdays and about 12 hours on weekend can simply earn 3k per week.

If you have no life, then yes you cn do 3k a week but you will vomit blood if you want to consistently make 3k a week.

In the old days yes,bt newcomer pls do nt beleive u cn make 3k a week. Its all BS.

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 laugh.gif
