Agree +1.
At least whatever mistake you might do at McD won't cost you much $.

On the road is a totally different story, you might get injured or your car might get damaged in accident.
If it's just for so little money, not worth it at all.
Unless you have a different objective for driving altogether.


And your calculation might be wrong.
Driving for 4 hours/day is not going to be 1000km/month.
It's more like 3-4000km/month.

What i experienced and depends on luck, you can get minimum rm20 for 1 hour.

Rm50 for 4 hours is really low

Minimum rm20/hour after petrol and maintenance ?
On a lucky day, yes.
Otherwise you must be kidding.

rm50 for 4 hours can happen on a bad day.
rm50 for 4 hours before petrol is a charity day for riders.
I have seen even worst, rm10/hour before petrol.

And now bad days happen so often in a week LOL...

You are not missing anything. We are not painting a nice picture, in order to get you to sign-up under us.

I am telling the fact. Now I am driving "suka-suka" only, not even part-time.

I used to set a target for myself every time I drive, but most of the time I am giving extra pressure to myself - and in the process did quite a lot of stupid money-wasting trips for Uber.

The best way is to use your current car, drive for 1-2 weeks and then see for yourself it is worth it. Maybe drive 1 week for Uber, another 1 week for Grab.
