Here is the BIGGEST TIP! ATTACH A TIP JAR NEXT TO PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST AND PUT A LIGHT BEHIND THE SIGN ON THE JAR.

@@Rbl7132 I strongly disagree with the tip jar, I've notice in my 5 years as a 5-star driver the entire time that on average pre-pandemic years 1 out of 3 riders would tip during the height of the pandemic 1 out of 2 riders were leaving a tip, in 2021 things started to normalize and went back to 1 out of 3 riders tipping towards the middle of 2022 things started getting worse and noticed riders tipping less and less on average it was 1 out of 4 riders and then towards the end of 2022 and especially all of 2023 the new average became a meager 1 out of 10 riders are now tipping its a little better on the weekends but don't expect many tips during the weekdays. Obviously the dramatic interest hikes of 2022 are starting to take effect on the real economy and folks are truly struggling, I see it everyday especially being in the Southern California region with insane cost of living. I understand your mindset that a tip jar serves as a reminder that tips are expected and appreciated, but I'm in the camp that a tip jar makes almost all riders to feel uncomfortable and pressured into giving tips, but with the economy in such bad shape as of 2020 this added pressure is almost insulting to most riders who could barely even afford taking a rideshare. So my best advice is to be an all-star driver by providing the best service possible and the 28 tips on this video were all great examples on being a top driver. I do agree with your second point on leaving candies and mints on the door handles but I would highly recommend on not giving any gum (one of the very few times I've actually offered gum to a passenger I drove over an hour to LAX, and the guy left the chewed up gum on the door handle, which I thought was extremely disrespectful and disgusting, so I could only imagine leaving gum for the thousands of rides I have given and how much chewed gum would end up on the door handles, floor mats and even worse on the seats, so BIG NO on having complimentary gum, I suggest having 2-3 options such as soft mints like Bob's Stripes and a hard individually wrapped candy like lemonheads, I've noticed many passengers like the Airheads, the best alternative to gum I've actually welcomed a few passengers with horrible breath eat the airheads and smiled to myself on how much better their breath was after eating the airheads.) I've gotten $100 tips on a few occasions and $50 tips on $3 rides, a $20-30 tip is amazing, but these days $5 tips mean a lot and are highly appreciated. My number one tip which he touched on is ALWAYS having a clean car and the rubber mats makes life easier when it comes to washing your car and the best place I recommend washing your own car is paying the $20-25 subscription fee at one of those drive-thru carwash places that offer unlimited washes by simply giving them your credit card information and having the $20 taken out automatically every month. I wash my car at least 4-5 times a week and the $20 is well worth it for unlimited washes. I also recommend having a small Fabreze Air freshener spray bottle and buying the larger one gallon bottle to refill the small spray bottle that you leave inside the car at all times, on top of having the ozium or small clipon air vent air fresheners. My car always gets complimented on how clean and fresh it smells. Lastly but not least be an excellent driver, good driving skills are a must not only for everyone's safety but being an excellent driver leads to better tips!
-Plan your hours -Know what locations you need to be at what times -position yourself where you need to be, before you need to be there and understand how long that position will be useful. Smart hours Smart locations Smart positioning If you work slow hours you will make poor hourly. If you don’t know where to drive at you get bad trips If you see an opportunity and your not already at that location you’ve already missed out. Don’t cut people off, slow down and cut behind them.
Jay, it is so good for us drivers that you are back! This video is perfect...I've started asking, "Is the temperature in the car comfortable for you?" Then I add, "Let me know if you need a change." Everyone appreciates that approach. Thanks! Tyler
I love the one about the Ozium. Makes the car smell like it's been professionally cleaned. Listing to ppl .that's when you learn something new and sometimes enriching. Tissue and charger. Enough w the candy ,snacks, and water.weee not a concession stand on wheels. Well done sir.
I have been driving since 2014 and completed 13K rides. I like your suggestion about asking if the temperature is okay. I do that and I get comments like, “ Nobody has ever asked me before. I also smile. People say I am so nice. I have been a solid 5 star for years. Little things mean a lot
People not hardly tipping anymore because so many drivers brag or should I say run they mouth about how much uber drivers get paid if driving over full time hours
Man, did I ever need this video. While you are at the end of your journey, and congratulations on your journey, I am now beginning my Uber journey. I’m nervous and hesitant about it, but this video helped me keep things in perspective. Very grateful for this. Thank you so much and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
Love the advice. Been Ubering mostly since 2017. Some in Buffalo, NY and Erie, PA. Both cities are tough to make full time. But, Erie keeps me busy. A good solid day is 15-20; $100-$125. As a retired teacher, not a bad side hustle.
Thank Jay , Driving around all Day or Night . Its good to able to go on UA-cam and just listen to other Drivers like yourself ( Learn something New or just a quick reminder ) Cheers
University by me has a lot of students from China. One morning I picked up a group of girls from airport. Was first time for them in US. I drove them to their dorm. When we got there, one of the girls screamed which caused me some concern. One of the other girls explained that the screamer was excited because she had just seen a fox squirrel for the first time. Struck me as funny that someone from the only country with pandas would be very excited about an animal I see everyday.
Great content from a great guy! Thanks! I'm in Chicago...new lyft driver....little nervous AND skeptical. Your video put me at ease.👍 O'Hare Airport is a nightmare, kept saying to myself on the first day "NO AIRPORT, NO AIRPORT!....My SECOND ride on my FIRST day.....O'HARE AIRPORT!!🤣🤣
I have had the pleasure of driving a few celebrities on Uber/Lyft rides. A lot of them have been musicians or comedians. I treat them like I would anybody else. Most are on the road and just want to know from a local what restaurants they should try and what else the area has to offer. This is one of the biggest lessons I have learned that leads to better tips. Know the area you drive in, know what the restaurants are known for, know what your area has to offer, know the points of interest and why they are points of interest. If a rider asks me a question about the area I'm in and I don't have an answer for them I make sure I know the answer for the next person that asks.
Thank you - today was day 2 of doing uber rideshare - this video helps. I did uber eats before and that at least shows you how much you are gonna make and the total miles - before accepting and people tip and usually tip more after the delivery - I am in Portland OR and I dont like how uber rideshare does not show the payment or total miles until after you accept it and seems like the majority of people DON'T tip :(
Smile? I am smilin'! 😑 Great tips Jay! I'm guilty of a lot of your "Don'ts" haha, I learned the hard way. I like your fishing comparison, that's how I approached conversations while Ubering
I appreciate you and your experience on driving. I lease a Tesla Model 3 with unlimited miles through Uber Partnership and I am doing of a lot of the 28 tips on your list and agree with them all especially smiling and keeping a clean great smelling car. You are fantastic and thanks for sharing. Great vibes.🎉❤🎉😊
Great video. Good Tips & Tricks. Not into rideshare though. Mainly Food & Groceries - about 17K+ trips in 5 yrs - upto 6 hrs / day - 6 days a week - UberEats 11K
New since June 2024 and 570 rides through Aug 28th. I do not believe I will ever get to 10k rides before rideshare drivers go extinct. I really enjoy Jay's videos and insights to becoming the best rideshare driver you can be, and this one is no exception.
Wow, you are Great! Question. You say you are leasing car from Uber. I wonder is it possible to make money with leasing car? How we could get a leasing car from Uber?
Great video! The destination mode sucks in my experience. I have used it more than 10 times and most of the time it takes me in the opposite. I've contacted Lyft and Uber about this, so hopefully they resolve it.
Congratulations Jay 28,000 trips I'm at about 20,000 closing it on you lol. But one big tip I would give everybody with upfront pricing is know your area very well. It's a lot easier to judge if it's a good or bad trip if you know exactly where you're going traffic conditions and everything else
Be a contrarian driver is how i put it when other drivers don't want to work. Rideshare is kinda like fishing in a pond. The earlier you're out there, the more fish you get. The more fishers in the pond, the less fish there is to go around. So pick another pond. This doesn't have to be a different city with Rideshare. There are always different sections of a city that have less drivers to fill rider demand. Most Uber drivers focus their attention to the downtown area, or middle of the city. When demand is slow, traffic is congested, get out of the downtown area because more than likely, another area of the city is experiencing lower supply of drivers.
hi, I just started driving in Connecticut in August. I can only do it part time, but I think your videos are fantastic along with the other ones I watched they have really helped to me also knowing my areas from being a retired paramedic the only thing I don't do is work at night, but I am female and I am a little older, but I'm in good shape. I love doing this being retired it's the best job because you could pick and choose your hours. I look forward for more tips from you guys. Thank you. Anybody in Connecticut out there I'm New Haven County and Fairfield County 4:19
also being female and having a car seat for my grandchildren, people really like that I also carry a booster seat in the back for the smaller kids. It comes in handy several times it has already since August. I've never heard anybody really mention a booster seat for little kids just wanted to share that
Put in the Hours Keep a clean car Start with a full tank of gas Have your favorite drink Use rubber mats. (Easy to clean) Minimize expenses Drive when others won’t Smile Learn to listen Learn when to stop talking Don’t talk politics Don’t talk about religion No sexual talks Don’t ask personal questions Enjoy the sunrises Enjoy watching the animals Enjoy the sunsets Improve yourself Do not drive when tired Use the destination filters Drive with a purpose Carry the essentials Temperature for passenger Music for passenger Keep your ego in check Be grateful Learn from passenger Set a realistic goal Enjoy special conversations
I tried to call rideshare guy about lyft been deactived since 2017, tried to ask reactived no answer from lyft support said is for life thats true any help?
Top 10% driver, 7+ years, 18,000 rides after an Uber. Five star rated. I quite literally do the opposite of half of what he says. But the current rate why do any of us even care to put that much effort?
In my Market, Lyft shows that drivers are only making $23/hr on their own site. Rideshare is only viable if you can CONSISTENTLY make over $30/hr. Your expenses, need to save to replace a car every few years (full-time driver), and inflation makes it necessary.
Ive gotten tips from people due to us aligning on politics... be smart... be on the fence with issues to pickup on what side someone is on. If they show their true colors be that same color. works great.
Does the destination filter work for you as you describe? That thing regularly sends me an hour in the OPPOSITE direction I need to go! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
Uber almost always sends me in the wrong direction. I usually use the destination mode when I'm tired and want to go home. Never get rides going in my direction. Usually the rides are far from where I am and take me farther from my home. I only use Lyft for destination trips, at least I don't have to worry about my acceptance rate when lyft tries to send me in the wrong direction. Lol
To Uber and Lyft drivers have to be employees to provide any safety measures at all. And since drivers are only contractors it's not their concern anymore accept profit.
Every single mark is different driving at all of LA will make you some serious cash but in my market is a joke it’s a joke. I’ve been driving on and off part time for 4.5 years amount and I don’t know how you guys make the money for me, but in this market the rides average between five and eight dollars sometimes a nine dollar ride and rarely anything over $12 and then, you may do one but it’s so far away for the time to get back to that area. They’re all gone. I’ve been watching your shows casts for you and you help me out. Congratulations on 28,000 anymore. Congratulations that you’re not doing it anymore. I can tell you out here in western New York Weather it’s night Friday Saturday I did a ride today for $12 for miles to go pick her up and 20 miles to take it OK you guys in la would probably get $60
You give great advice but I would not give advice if you have not experienced it yourself first hand. Leasing a Tesla is not a good advice unless you want to work 12 to 14 hour days. i leased a tesla for a week when I had to take my hybrid in to get it fixed. Final cost to lease, get insurance and for the charge $640. The milage after each charge was about 215, so If I wanted to work 8 to 10 hours I would had to charge the car 2 twice a day which adds about 2 hours to the day. So by your standards of 10 hour days and making $200. Expect to work 12 hours and giving back 60% back on the car.

Well im far off 28k but i got 33 under my account so far new driver here do you have any tips besides ones mentioned in video?
There’s a lot of content for ride share, but Jay is the best…

First off when a passenger says “ they’ll tip you on the APP “ 90% of those people are not tipping! 😂
facts
People that got the ride from another person won’t tip either 100% of the time lol
People not hardly tipping anymore because so many drivers brag or should I say run they mouth about how much uber drivers get paid if driving over full time hours

I consider this man to be the godfather of rideshare driving! Thanks for the great tips

Can't thank you enough for this valuable insight. Great video!
Great video! Very helpful! Thank you! 🥇👍

Very good! Stay good Jay! Thanks for the tips! Great guy!
This guy rocks. I'm so glad to see him still uploading content to the channel. I agree with everything he said.
Some of my riders are so excited to see foxes. One guy had never seen a possum before, and some kids from NYC were so thrilled to see some deer.
University by me has a lot of students from China. One morning I picked up a group of girls from airport. Was first time for them in US. I drove them to their dorm. When we got there, one of the girls screamed which caused me some concern. One of the other girls explained that the screamer was excited because she had just seen a fox squirrel for the first time.

So spot on! I drive early to catch the airport surge. Gonna try going online at 4am. Thank you so much for the tips! 🤙

Glad it was helpful!
Appreciate this! 2yrs driving glad im doing most of these. Time to step up my rides per day 💪🏽
Great video! Thank you! I have to see how to set up my driving distance to stay within the area I want, didn’t know I can do that.
Loved this video! Thank you for creating it.

Thnx from Poland. Great tips.
These are such fantastic tips. I would never have thought of most of these. This is a must watch for drivers.🦖
Standard All-Star Tips, anything less than this will automatically make you a 4.85 or less driver. ALL great tips on this video.
Very fun experience. People share their feelings with you. You get to meet new people. Have fun and adventure..

Not into rideshare though. Mainly Food & Groceries - about 17K+ trips in 5 yrs - upto 6 hrs / day - 6 days a week - UberEats 11K
I just hit a 1000 n was looking for something inspiring and man just have to say thanks a lot 👏🏿
Every driver could have his positive outlook . Refreshing . Great video
Best ride sharer video I've see yet. Thank you.
Setting a goal of driving / earning goal is a splendid idea .
Great Video Jay!! Been following ya via rideshare guy for years. Love this! ❤️ 100%
You sound like a wonderful guy. Thanks for sharing. Good luck to you.
Greaat video and idea for a video. I will take my 2nd uber ride this weekend and your info will help me to be a better passenger.
Excellent video! I Have driven 26,000 trips and a lot that you said I have done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great video, Jay. Thanks for the inspiration and insight. 🙏

don't worry about getting 10k rides worry about what you will take per ride.
Great Job! Thank you for you incredible content and insight! You are blessing others with your information that you share! You should write a book!
Thank you for video. Inspiring.
To save you time the 28 lessons start at 01:22
I love your attitude😊
Such a great video! Thank you!
Wow, you are Great! Question. You say you are leasing car from Uber. I wonder is it possible to make money with leasing car? How we could get a leasing car from Uber?
Nice to hear positive. I reached my limit though, 8500 trips.
Traffic, loss of hearing, prostate problems (have to pee every 45 minutes)
Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you!
Thank you.
Great video! The destination mode sucks in my experience. I have used it more than 10 times and most of the time it takes me in the opposite. I've contacted Lyft and Uber about this, so hopefully they resolve it.
Great video! Some good ideas/thoughts. Do you still drive in SF? I’m just getting started in the Las Vegas area. It’s always busy!
Excellent video!!
Love his advice
God bless thanks I’m a bit nervous to drive
Congratulations Jay 28,000 trips I'm at about 20,000 closing it on you lol. But one big tip I would give everybody with upfront pricing is know your area very well. It's a lot easier to judge if it's a good or bad trip if you know exactly where you're going traffic conditions and everything else
Grinding 50 hrs a week is more than most drivers can handle.
I'm in my 30s with a wife and kids. Being gone nearly 60 hours a week is a no-go. Can't even satisfy rule #1
Yes and I love those lazy people. The more of them, the more they're not in the way for my rides. More money for me.
Thanks J..
Thanks Jay, always looking forward for your video clips.
Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾
This was awesome 👍🏿😎
Great video!
Do you ever listen to podcast with the riders or do you use an ear piece?
Cool stories. The best part of rideshare. Much better safer work out there though. Free climbing is the way to go.
Oh wow can’t wait for this one!
Amazing
Lots of Asses
You have to love it good or bad
Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊

I like your videos they are very interesting. I’m a Uber driver in Australia.
I tried to call rideshare guy about lyft been deactived since 2017, tried to ask reactived no answer from lyft support said is for life thats true any help?
IS there a channel where I can find you discussing your Trading (beyond the video course)
Top 10% driver, 7+ years, 18,000 rides after an Uber. Five star rated. I quite literally do the opposite of half of what he says. But the current rate why do any of us even care to put that much effort?
We miss you Jay , how are you doing?
In my Market, Lyft shows that drivers are only making $23/hr on their own site. Rideshare is only viable if you can CONSISTENTLY make over $30/hr. Your expenses, need to save to replace a car every few years (full-time driver), and inflation makes it necessary.
Thanks for doing this video.
How you put good feedback for your Uber driver?
Just completed 33700 uber trips & 1700 lyft trips in 8 years.
So a funny behind this Casino turning around me never say these Javelinos 15 came charging at my car . I like what is That !!!
300 a week for a car 1200 a month 1200x12= 14,400.00 that is a big hit off the top. Just saying!!
Add to #22: A puke bag. Especially if you do bar time like I do. It's only rarely needed, but you'll be glad to have it.
35 thousand for me here in miami in 8 years and counting...!..❤🎉❤🎉...!
Ive gotten tips from people due to us aligning on politics... be smart... be on the fence with issues to pickup on what side someone is on. If they show their true colors be that same color. works great.
Excelent video 👍
Does the destination filter work for you as you describe? That thing regularly sends me an hour in the OPPOSITE direction I need to go! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
Uber almost always sends me in the wrong direction. I usually use the destination mode when I'm tired and want to go home. Never get rides going in my direction. Usually the rides are far from where I am and take me farther from my home. I only use Lyft for destination trips, at least I don't have to worry about my acceptance rate when lyft tries to send me in the wrong direction. Lol
When I use destination they took me away I tried this over 15 times so I stopped using it
I like the boundary part 9 10😂😂
The destination filters are soooooo off. I can't wait till they correct it.
Does Uber have an insurance?
To Uber and Lyft drivers have to be employees to provide any safety measures at all. And since
drivers are only contractors it's not their concern anymore accept profit.

Every single mark is different driving at all of LA will make you some serious cash but in my market is a joke it’s a joke. I’ve been driving on and off part time for 4.5 years amount and I don’t know how you guys make the money for me, but in this market the rides average between five and eight dollars sometimes a nine dollar ride and rarely anything over $12 and then, you may do one but it’s so far away for the time to get back to that area. They’re all gone. I’ve been watching your shows casts for you and you help me out. Congratulations on 28,000 anymore. Congratulations that you’re not doing it anymore. I can tell you out here in western New York Weather it’s night Friday Saturday I did a ride today for $12 for miles to go pick her up and 20 miles to take it OK you guys in la would probably get $60
You give great advice but I would not give advice if you have not experienced it yourself first hand. Leasing a Tesla is not a good advice unless you want to work 12 to 14 hour days. i leased a tesla for a week when I had to take my hybrid in to get it fixed. Final cost to lease, get insurance and for the charge $640. The milage after each charge was about 215, so If I wanted to work 8 to 10 hours I would had to charge the car 2 twice a day which adds about 2 hours to the day. So by your standards of 10 hour days and making $200. Expect to work 12 hours and giving back 60% back on the car.
Yeah renting a car is stupid when you can buy 3 cars almost 4 for the same monthly payment.

You get a seemingly pricy beverage from Starbucks, and 20 seconds later, you suggest minimizing expenses. Ok .lol
$200 a day? Yes a $7 coffee is going to hurt his pockets. Lol.
How many cars did you burn through over 7 years?
