My company used to buy new cars and put on the fleet to run on Uber and Grab and having over 4 years experiences doing this business, as much as we all love the new cars (warranty especially), I recommend you and all my friends here who want to get into the ride-sharing business to buy a used car, say 3 to 5 years used car. They depreciated enough and while are not brand new, these older cars are easily 50% cheaper compared to a new car return of investment is much faster.

Buy a car that you can pay off in 12 months to 18 months while working on Uber or Grab. Anything that requires more time to pay off is a risky investment.

Indeed. Alza is good option for Uber XL and GC (6-seater).

However, while on a daily basis you won't get many trips from XL but if u do, u definitely make a bit more.

Question is... the 70% - 80% trips done are from UberX and GrabShare... so your higher fuel consumption from Alza (as compared to Axia, Myvi, Bezza) will definitely give u a slight disadvantage.

Stavic is diesel with good mileage but the problem is the newness of said vehicle. With that amount of money, I would rather go for a newed 2014-15 Perodua.
