Ok to be honest , to purely drive and just earn fares everyday is not worth it all.

This is because, the more u drive the more fuel u consume and your car wear and tear increases. Yes u can drive from morning till midnight everyday but i can tell u, u wont be making much in all honesty.

To earn with Uber, u definately must earn their PHG with minimal trips . Reason being reduce fuel costs and wear and tear. It is when u earn peak hour guarantees is when u make money. Because its money u make without switching on your engine and running about.

So in order to make real money with Uber u need to do minimal number of trips during phg hours and do max trips during non peak hours. And u also have to monitor your ratio to make sure it is good.

As a conclusion, if u are aiming to earn money from just fares, u are wasting your time. Earning from PHG is a must!

Assuming the evening peak hour is 4pm-8pm.So you only need 1 trip to activate this block.

Assuming the Peak hour guarantee Tier 2 is RM 18 / hr so thats 18x4 = RM 72

Lets say the trip that you did is RM 15 nett , so Uber will do this calculation.

RM 72 -RM15 = 57

Out of the RM 57 , uber takes 20%

So you get RM45.60 top up

So assuming u did 1 trip in that 4 hours, switched off your engine , and then stayed online for that 4 hours without getting anymore requests, u will get the 45.60 topup for practically doing nothing.

So the trick is to do minimal number of trips in that 4 hours. But you also have to make sure your trips to hours online ratio is 0.75.

So you take your number of trips you did for the whole week( Mon - Sun) , divided by the number of hours you online.If you get 0.75 and above you are safe.

BTW, i am not a partner. I just did some analysis on their incentive scheme.
