both. Uber normally on weekend to complete quest. On weekdays, drive for Grab and become fare hunter (Grab Flexi)

Hi just wanted to ask, my uber account just activated. I going to start driving this weekend. My question is do i have to charge rider separately if we passed any tolls in klang valley? Or its already included in the trip fare?

Yesterday was my first time starting Uber. 1st drive is really nervous because you be fetching some stranger sweat.gif

But then the struggling part is these 2 hours 15 minutes i can only earn this much and these 4 trips are all short distance. The hassle part is picking up the passengers some more which drag the total driving spent is 2 hours 15 minutes but the total of these 4 trips is only like 1 hour. the extra 1 hour 15 minutes is spent driving to pickup passengers

Looking at this i guess i really need to reflect how to improve my earnings. rclxub.gif

I doing this only on Sat and Sunday so i wont be aiming for incentives

Uber demand is pretty low for the last few weeks(after raya), 2 trips per hour is a norm now...

Anyway just some suggestions:-
1. Area - which area you driving at? popular uber area like mont kiara or PJ would get you nearer matches.
I driving around PJ area

2. Time - don't drive when there is no boost/surge
Since i new i wanna drive when there is lesser cars on the road as i still not familliar with whole PJ surroundings.when i get used to it mayb i will drive during surge hours

3. Grab - if your driving area/time really can't fit the boost schedule. perhaps you might want to consider to drive grab instead, as these hours on Sunday are HP/MP blocks, the same number of trips would get you at least RM58 nett. Best option is to get 2 phones and drive for both grab ambassador and uber.
I do Uber first because at least its not that complicated like Grab where you need to memorize the toll that you passed and billed on customers. Understand is easy but driving and remembering the toll amount sometimes can be quite annoying  icon_rolleyes.gif

Well, that's what Uber one, constant renewal of new drivers  laugh.gif

Anyway, this is free market, no one force you to drive, if you like, u drive lor, u don't like, stop driving like me lor.....

I only pity those who got stuck driving, coz got car loan to pay, many commitment to meet but insufficient income...usually, on top of giving them 5* rating with some good comment to cheer them up (hopefully), try to make their life easier (get ready before I requested for ride, so they no need wait for me, give as much detailed description for them to identify me, etc), if I opt to pay cash, leave some tips for them.

And, what I pissed off is that those who keep on trying to recruit for drivers, by saying good income lah, flexible lah, etc......all bullshit, it's all hard work for high income....how much u earn is determine by how hard u willing to work or hour of drive per day. And, there is no fixed and hard rules, everyone got their "own self worth"....some might say average RM25/hour income is ok, some might say too low.....it all up to individual. You got to try it out yourself if it worth your time.....

Most importantly, don't get tied down driving Uber or Grab as main income or only source of income. Then, you will be modern day slavery, no difference like those taxi driver who pajak the car from taxi company, only difference, you pajak from bank this time.

For those who purposely buy car just for Uber, hoping the car installment can cover by fare,  you are just signing your soul away.....for those who want to buy a "better" or more expensive car that they can afford, hoping to that fare from Uber/ Grab can subsidized the installment, stop being so naive. Ask yourself if how u feel your car being trashed by strangers (not all riders are asshole, but, there are out there, these are real risk). What if they decide to reduce the fare? Have you factored in your additional or accelerated maintenance cost? 

Drive only for fun of it, to meet new people, to find out new route, new area, new place of interest....if u drive just for sole purpose of making money, earning profit, better not. It won't make you rich, even if, it's all hard work, no difference being employee. Only difference, you are your own boss, you drive whenever you want, but, in return, you stop driving, your income stop. You can't afford to fall sick, can't afford to car breakdown or accident. Stop driving, stop income.  shakehead.gif

How about doing it as a side income? I just started last week only mega_shok.gif
Can earn extra money? But my car i think slightly higher maintenance and fuel consumption. I currently driving Hyundai Elantra

Referral fees is the highest at the moment. Some (usual Uber double standard) even can get RM700 if the new driver complete just 20 trips. Just split give the new driver RM500 also more than worth it already. 20 trips get RM500. where to find such easy money.

So much referral fee?? RM700 you serious drool.gif
I am new driver being referred by Grap Alpha.
If i know so good i should have ask him to give me some . Anyway i just completed 4 trips not yet 20
