Hi guys, interested to drive but will using HRV cause me to lose money? Not making much is fine as long as not going to end up paying to drive ppl around.

Another question, since I am in Penang. Do you need to drive ppl cross the bridge to mainland? Or it is not within coverage?

Since I'm planning to drive in Penang and not KL, what are the risk I should get note of?

Thanks heap! 😉

not necessary in the coverage area....the rider could request drive till Dannok also but it is very unlikely though it is possible

Thanks.

Can driver say no to rider? Will driver know in advance the destination?

Nope. The app doesnt tell you rider's destination until u "Begin Trip"

Best way is to call the rider directly and ask his/her destination

Thnks.
So we call but can reject if destination isn't suitable for us right? Will that cause us a low rating frm uber?

yes the driver can reject by calling the rider and cancel the trip. the rider can complain to uber and u may get banned.

don't be too picky with the destinations... it will make uber drivers no difference from taxi drivers.

Hmm. Possible to request cross state?

What is the difference between Uber and Taxis if you do that?

I don't understand what do you mean by 'destination not suitable for us'.

Let me answer this question once and for all, which I feel is purely hypothetical.

No you are not supposed to cross state. If there's a rider silly enough to request you to go to Kelantan from KL, you can cancel the trip and WRITE TO UBER with this reason, they won't penalize you.

Last I remembered, there's a limit to service area. Rawang up north, Seremban down south, Genting Highlands to the east.

I meant as if we r driving in island and there is request to mainland. Penang mainland is quite big. Could be an hour or more for a trip if forth and back. Plus u pay tol only coming back and not going out.

That's almost the same as drivers in KL getting a trip to KLIA, but still have to send even though there's always a risk of coming back in empty car.

I believe in the law of average, you don't always get trips like that. Even if you do, you don't lose money, you just make less. And i am sure you won't complain when you get a 3x surge trip and make RM20 for 15 mins work right?

Give and take.

Hmm.... thnks you for the insight 😁

How does uber pay its driver? Direct credit to bank account or cheque weekly?
