Hi... I am new here and also a new Uber driver.

I just want to share some of my experience about driving Uber so far. I started driving yesterday night from 8am-11.30pm. Total 2.20 hours online.
Trip 1 - Damansara - One Utama Net earnings 3.74
Trip 2 - TTDI - KLIA Net earnings 63.65 (inclusive toll 7.40)
Trip 3 - KLIA2 - Damansara Perdana 63.65 (inclusive toll 7.40)
Trip 4 - Damansara Perdana - Cheras Net earnings 24.20 (inclusive toll 3.00 + Surge 9.42)

Day 2 started 8am - 9.30
Trip 1 - TTDI - Cyberjaya Net earnings 58.30 (inclusive toll 6.00 +
surge 38.04)
Trip 2 - Taman Desa - Damansara Jaya Net earnings 14.77 (inclusive toll 4.50)

Estimated payout is 228.31
-) Toll -28.30
-) Petrol (approx.) -70.00

Net earning 130.01

Total time on the road approx. 4 hours.

My personal feedback is driving is quite easy especially if you met some nice rider and chat with them (if they initiate) chat with them and also learn something from them. Quite relaxing. If we are driving it as part-time, this job doesn't require you to use alot of brain and it may be a good option.

I think driving to KLIA is good provided you can secure another rider from KLIA back to town. Another tips is also to drive under surge where you can get alot more money for the ride.

One thing I don't like is that the system will not tell us where is the destination until we pickup the rider. Since this is similar to a 'call cab" services, it will be better to let the driver know where is the destination before we confirm whether or not to accept the trip. For example, my trip 1 on Day 2, from TTDI to Cyberjaya with surge of 2.2x. I think very minimal people will take Uber in Cyberjaya in the morning and I had to return to town without any rider. The base fare for this trip is 31.70. Imagine if it is without surge, the based fare 31.70 - 7.93(uber fee) = 23.77 for this trip and I also have to pay at least 3.00-6.00 toll to get back to town area.

Verdict: easy and not stressful part-time. fun to meet more people. But you won't make much money driving it part-time. If you want to earn extra, try to drive in surge area... the amount can be quite significant if the surge is 2x and above. My humble few cents

Hi Schok. I am new and had only experienced 2 surge trip so far. Both also happened when I was near the surge area... so kind of lucky for me. Maybe it is not worth to drive long distance to surge area.

I was in the surge area and received the ride request.

Agreed.. I remember I ordered Uber from Damansara to OneU. And the driver came from DesaPark City... Kesian .. Have to pay 2.20 toll to come over.. And the ride is less than RM5 for him

Yes... So far my experience with Uber is really good... Compared to the majority of taxi drivers..
