Haha... Many people surprise to see my car.
1 rider told me he was excited to when he saw UberX going to pick him is GTI. He said never sit in GTI before...
Another rider said, WTF? I request UberX but u come with Touran?

And from then on, all his previous riders would rate other uber drivers as 4* or below.

I'm sick of my current job already
thinking I goreng soon thou 10k
But sick of looking same job again
Need a break
Is it possible to earn around 4-5k if go full time?

Lets say you are driving like a robot(slave) for 10 hours each day (no pee, no shit,no eat), and non-stop customer

If super busy, average 2 customer/Hours
Average distance/customer 15km+5km(to pickup customer), Income per customer rm20

So making a total of rm400 gross
deduct 25% uber = rm100
400km distance (easy calculations = 1litre for 10km) = rm72
your nett after uber+petrol = rm228

if work 30days nonstop = rm6840, Wooooo Hoooo

That is the ideal, but reality,
you need downtime for maintenance (shit,pee,eat), so cut 1 hour
your customer might end up only go next road (2km away), say 33% of customer is short distance
Lets work out new cost
Income for 6 Hour (rm40) x 6 hours = rm240 + Income for 3 Hour (rm6) x 3 hours = rm18 (short distance riders) = total = rm258
Uber parasite cut of 25% = rm64.5
distance (40km x 6) = 270km + distance for short distance riders (5km+2km =7km/customer = 14km x 3 = 42km = total =312km =rm56 for petrol
Nett after uber+petrol = rm137

if work 30days nonstop = rm4125, Not bad at all biggrin.gif

Wait...... have not included cost of
1) Car replacement (your car would need to be replace once time is up)
2) Car maintenance + spare parts due to wear and tear (you would be running 113,880km/year - compare to normal driving range of 25,000km-35,000km/year)

As a comparison RM137/10hours of work = RM13.7/hour (not yet deduct the major cost)

if you work parttime McD you get RM8/hour

Then some people will tell you work McD no flexibility, but then shit, you stuck at car nonstop for 10 hours (what fuck flexibility?)
There is also the social stigma/standing , tell people you work McD? or tell people you work as an Uber Driver? with flexible time, meet lots of people, share stories and ride experience

But fuck, when you go to AEON check out counter, the only thing the cashier look at is pure hard cold cash, try paying with "share stories and ride experience"

Dude, 10k job is extremely hard to come by. Don't quit and become a driver, not worth it if you are driving UberX and full time. Let me share my friend's experience who is currently working for me (driving my UberBlack). He got fired, have 2 kids and a wife (working), and had no choice but to sell of his car (liability). He had been using my car for a month, full time Monday - Sunday UberBlack driver and can earn an average of 8k net. However, 4k goes to my pocket and 4k goes to his. If you really wanted to work full time with Uber, drive a Black.

Sifu, got do BLACKLANE? their fare prices look very good, all appointment, no ping

Guys....the Uber policy say the fare will include the waiting time after you arrived 3 mins even you not yet swipe start trip is scam mad.gif  mad.gif  mad.gif UberMY

Experienced it today.....as I received ping while I on trip. On completion of first trip, I swipe complete, then, the second trip show up. Can't believe my eyes, it exactly the same location, same condo where I dropped off the 1st riders. I even double confirm with the security. Then, only I swipe arrived.

Waited 2 min, sms the rider I am at the XYZ lobby, no reply. Fine, exactly 5 min (reason why I am so sure is that I know how the game being played, after 5 min, if you cancel you, got cancellation fee, less than it, nothing for you, so I always make sure I cancel exactly after 5 min), got reply, confirm ok, ask me to wait. Since the rider already replied, mean not fraudalent rider, I continue wait, after all, per Uber policy, fare will include wait time even if you don't swipe start after 3 min. And, I am getting angry, as I waited another 5 min, still no sign of rider, preparing to leave, and the rider show up. My unlucky day.....short distance some more, in my mind, told myself nevermind lah, after all, I don't purposely drive to the pickup location either, no lost to me, other than time, in fact it will be factored in the fare.

So, once complete, I review the trip, it show only 12 min for 6km trip...hello....I waited at least 10 min (that's very conservative, as it should be 11 min), which mean I travelled 6km for mere 2 minutes?  Which mean I must be driving 180km/h from the pickup location to the destination shocking.gif

Yes, possible, as Cheras is not in core service area, so, no PHG or boost. Second, weekday demand in Cheras is low and usually trip all usually short trip, within Cheras, where the fare is less than RM8 one, those trip to city centre around RM12. Average 1 trip per hour

After 3 weeks on Uber, now on Grab, only this, i should've have switch after 1 week tongue.gif

No surprise most people are against change, but whatever being said, you won't know for sure until you do it
Go 1 week on Grab and make up your own decision

*knowing the destination and fare before accepting a pickup, this function alone, win me over to Grab

rclxm9.gif  TRIED grab also this morning. it is proven better than UBER. rclxms.gif but the customer range a bit low compare to UBER. customer range maid, nurse, student and blur collar guy. anyway as long as they re clean , i m fine.

Count blessings, they are satisfied to get a pickup and arrive at destination safely biggrin.gif - won't rate you 1-4* just because you're born with an angry face and/or some silly reason

Uber customer are too high and mighty + arrogant, the only reason my rating drop is getting Uber customer on Grab mad.gif


devil.gif devil.gif once more Uber driver go Grab, Uber can adopt/change to treat driver better or close shop, I'll just will keep switching to the more profitable and comfortable company

The only thing constant is change - Heraclitus

Go Grab during the 3 hours(if your 3 hours is between 5pm-8pm, you get minimum RM18/hour gross or more) then use Uber to go home biggrin.gif
*if you get RM3-5 trip during these times rclxms.gif , super good on Grab

Maybe need to change mindset thumbsup.gif

Whatever you do, do it well, full time job or driving part time, once you do it halfheartedly, you've gone Malaysian Style

*Doing it well, include finding out the better option for your time and effort spent

many time when i chat with the riders, they say uber cars are now fewer and tend to be far from their location, thus increasing their waiting time.

Hi guys, Uber is unable to approve my Car Insurance since it is not written in the insurance "Comprehensive".
But my car insurance is comprehensive..already went to Takaful Ikhlas and they confirmed about it. However they are not giving me any documents with "Comprehensive" word written on it. The insurance policy that they gave me also is only a 2-sheets document..similar to cover note.

Insurance company : Takaful Ikhlas
Car : Toyota Vios, year 2008
Sum Insured : RM38k
Date of insurance expiry : March 2017

I already called Uber for the 2nd time and explained the situation but still they refuse to approve my car insurance.
Anyone facing the same problem? Any solutions?

Its true that even in JB, Uber rider demand is very high, especially last week when Uber stop all incentive.
Maybe Uber driver had jump ship including me starting today.
But If only Uber continuous lack of driver, only they will adjust their pay to the driver i guess.

Yes they have a strategy to cut fares to fight competitor and existing taxi,
but personally I dont think this should be their approach which make the brand itself cheapskate,
Uber is capable to be a premium brand where ppl willing to pay more to get premium service.[COLOR=red]
*
For premium service, UberBlack, maybe in the end, that is the only 1 alive and running

The rest go to GRAB (which i hope not, lotsa Uber riders are assholes, i rank them lower than Ma Pren)

Please Uber, please stay alive.

what to do, their mantra is "customer is king" while your mantra is "cash is king"....so, mismatch lor....the rider think their cash is very big, while u think otherwise....what I usually do, after they left the car, I will silently pray and hope they kena rob or langgar by mat rempit  laugh.gif or they walk walk and pok kai, not died type, but, suffer lah  rclxms.gif

Ma Pren riders, need to wait for them, smelly (body odour or perfume),even times short of a ringgit or two,
but......... they're good, as long as you bring them from A to B(maybe in between detour to 99 to buy a thing or two) they got no complain

Pickup Uber Asshole rider, somewhere in conversation "i normally take uber,...." bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif

There are Grab Asshole riders also no doubt, but most are Ubers

I only pray Uber stay alive

Picked up a rider earlier, turned out to be a Grab staff.

Kept asking and pestering me to sign up for Grab. I politely rejected him saying am happy with Uber, happy to make RM300+ a day, happy with the payment, etc.

He was relentless. Finally told him I am not very confident with Grab's incentive scheme. Gave him my opinion and said it doesn't look very sustainable.

Bugger gave me a low rating after the ride just cause I didn't want to entertain his request for me to join Grab. Pretty sure the ride was ok. Rating dropped 0.01 after his trip.

Ohh Sifu of Uber, please share secret, how to make RM300+ a day

Was on UberX driving Alza, since i'm a newbie, Uber cut me 25%
If i drive like your style, 10-12 hours daily, clocking 200-300km / day, earning 200+ to 300+ / day
On my calculation for my car petrol consumption/maintenance+labour, i will be driving for charity if doing 40km 40min for RM33-toll

But i guess to each his own calculation of cost/time/labour

Cheers and happy driving
Please keep Uber alive
