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!

any ipoh uber driver around? need ask how business in ipoh and hot spot in ipoh..

how many hour u online perday? can earn how much? now i driving in kl.. but i prefer driver in ipoh because my house are in kampar

uber recently reduce incentives for partners & seems many of them going to boycott uber by not driving for a week. should we join them?

I dont think the boycotting is happening in Malaysia. In oversea, yes. People here are just quietly move to grabcar. Its not bad as almost all trip can get atleast RM9-10. but cons will be cash transaction that I dont prefer, and they dont have iOS app for driver. lol

for Uber driver, can we like refuse to accept the rider if the trip is too far?
eg: i had a few request to Rawang and end up coming back empty car and the toll ain't cheap...

If they already board in, u wanna reject them? I know that feeling but.. Very hard to reject.. Plus they can complain pr give u bad rating

I feel it's a matter of perspective.

As long as we are online, we should pick up all riders and send them to wherever they want to go.

I believe a trip to Rawang should nett the driver RM30-RM40. That's good money for 90 mins of work.

If toll is an issue, then drive back through Selayang, may pick up riders there also.

1) Calling rider to ask where they are going next and then to decide whether you want to take the ride or ask the rider to cancel is against Uber policy. FYI.

2) Toll incurred on trip is borned by the rider. Uber actually tracks your route and they have already marked in the system the cost of the toll, though not always accurate. Drivers still need to double check on accuracy of the reimbursement.

1) You are not supposed to cancel rides unless there's a valid reason (rider no show, rider rating too low, etc). Don't feel like going to the rider's destination is not a valid reason.

You keep cancelling trip will affect your acceptance rate.

The risk of rider lodging a complaint against you is very high.

My suggestion is this - if you are online means you are prepared to pick up rider and go anywhere. If not prepared to do that, then don't go online.

2) Yea driver pay first and gets reimbursed.

This sound like TAXI DRIVER to me ~

Well, aren't Uber driver can choose our rider?
For example :

KL to PJ or
KL to Bangsar
*I prefer KL to PJ so when rider request, we will accept. Win win situation?

Correct me if I'm wrong

Is there any reimbursement from Uber if we happened to pick up a nasty rider whom drunk and vomit in your car?

As a driver, just drive cheerfully, be courteous, don't complain, take every ride as a blessing and it won't be difficult to maintain a high rating and make money. It's not rocket science.

Can't wait for Uber to expand their operations in Kota Kinabalu.

But I wonder if they will accept my 2010 Perodua Viva.

It is a tiny car. Haha!

It is not another 5 min, it is many 5min (5x)
What is the limit for waiting, before you can cancell the ride without paying $5
When I press request (including my destination gps)
What happens on the driver side?
What do they see? Do they have to press accept, or.......

Had one request where the rider cannot even describe her location and even the location she gave is not correct. Pointed me to somewhere far off where she was waiting for me... had a cat and mouse hunt looking for her.

guess my lower rating is due to me holding the phone while driving.. .need to get a phone holder asap

The one that sticks on glass would heat up the phone quite fast since its exposed to the blazing sun.

i drove uber so far never encountered 1 , i've drove for a few months already and quit recently due to finding it not worth it anymore as they have reduce the fare
Uber is actually a cashless system so i think SPAD could not take any action on you whether you have PSV or not doesn't really matter, your main concern would be the taxi drivers in KL

well....there are always new blood to fill in the job
currently base fare is RM0.95 + RM 0.60/km with RM0.25/min compare to previously RM1.50+RM0.60 with RM0.25/min for UberX
both exclude the 20% Uber fee, i heard effective 1March Uber fee has increased to 25% <<< someone pls confirm this

this haven't deduct the 25% Uber fee i presume?
if yes, let me know if it is still worth to do my fren.....

at ipoh how register uber ya?
