I bought one just for RM15. So easy to use and tight on the glass.

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

Pretty common thing to happen. If possible, pull over soonest possible & ask if the rider wanna walk to you or wait comfortably wherever they are for a longer time. I had ladies willing to walk several minutes cause they're in a bit of a hurry.
There's this RM1 or 2 sticky pad which are easily available in Mr DIY. I'm using that to place my phone next to my 45 degree angled air cond vent. It's a sticky pad, not the anti slip pad, anti slip one may accidentally pop off when you hit a port hole or had a harsh bump.

Get the phone holder that clips onto the cd player. I ordered in lazada, still waiting for mine. There is one that can put on steering wheel also, but make sure no airbag.

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

Surge is like a joke. So many times i go to surge area (either online all d way or offline first the online there) the surge counter goes off. And rider requests, i get normal rate. Rarely i'd get a surged fare. Waste my petrol n toll money.

Maybe others have better luck. But i asked another driver he said the same thing.

Don't waste your time chasing the surge. Surge happens when that area has less drivers than riders. If all of you also rush there,there will be enough cars already and the surge will reduce or go off.

Moreover, not many people will take a surge ride, mostly expats only.

Just hang around if you are in a surge area, and hope for one. Don't waste petrol and toll to rush there if you are not.

Thats what i do, wait around the surge area. But most of the time when i am in it, there is no more surge or rider request comes up when there is no surge. Then whats the point notifying us about surges? Its just a tool to pull drivers into an area.
