i am a part-timer. my uber-time is monday - friday, everytime i go and back from work.

my plan is simple, after 5 years, i will sold off my car, and get a new one. this way, i can happily get new car every 5 years, and do extra uber daily, enough to get lunch money, fuel and car loan. riders pay for my car.

but i dont go all details in calculating this and that, since im just diong this as part time. my car which i use for uber, is the same car for me to travel to work, weekend outing etc.

all i do, is calculate how much fuel i use for each ride. so later on end of the weekend, i re-pay the fuel cost i use for uber. my ride has its built in fuel consumption calculator, so i use that as a guide,

gross earnings = total earnings - fuel - tolls

this is not accurate, and not the proper way to calculate my real earnings. but since this is just part time, and the fact that im just doing this so i dont have to pay for lunch, why bother. enough headache from my main job, LOL

i use credit card for fuel. easier for me when rider dont pay in cash.

who says living in rural area not worth it?  biggrin.gif

Totally agreed on what you said. Do it part time, enjoy it.
