    You got to remember, once you have completed more trips and maintain a high rating, you would be the preferred driver for uber and you will get lots of jobs.

      not true, i have been a perfect 5.0 for over a year and always maintained a high rating and others often do better. I do drive peak hours and core areas but ratings do not matter. If they did all the other drivers with poor ratings might leave due to poor earnings.

      @@LakTube it's a con job! You just haven't thought it through! The next time you do an airport trip see how much you got, then workout the time it took from accept to finish, the amount of petrol, the sitting in wait area , time to next trip you will be lucky to have made $18 hr,after you deduct the toll,petrol ,, time , then there's the tolls to pickup,plus enroute, more petrol from first trip to last it's probably taken 1.5_ 2 hrs it might look like you made money but it has been eaten up in expenses and tolls and time , maybe you like to waste time in a sunbaked car park! If the wheels ain't turn your not earning! ..,🤣👍

    It’s a fair summation of a day in the life of an Australian city Uber driver. I commenced doing it back in Sept 2023. Income levels are spasmodic and in the end I concluded it’s not worth the financial effort or risk. The costs involved are stacked against the owner driver. Uber clips a hefty % off each fair plus booking fee. They just announced a reduction in driver rates in order to ‘attract more customers’ but no mention of them reducing their fee structure.

      After driving for 9 months, although it's true I can make $2000 per week but the cost of wear and tear on my car is tremendous. The risk of getting fined in NSW is always never impossible. Most kerbside pick up and drop off has no stopping sign. If u are unlucky a council ranger can take photo and u don't even know it until the fines come to you in 2 weeks. The GST quarterly, taxes are high, depreciation of car, the mileage hits all time high, costs of service and maintenance of car, /it's true you don't make much. The figure looks big, there is no other benefits from uber . It's not worth driving for Uber. Much better working full time in a bank or corporate work.

      I'm on a forum with 60,000 Australian Tesla owners. Battery replacement is VERY, rare. There are many people on this forum who've travelled 200,000km or over. There are also several people who've travelled over 500,000kms. The batteries have barely degraded let alone needed replacing. These distances are further than most owners do in a car's lifetime.

    Don't just look at the surface of how big the figure earning from uber, the hidden costs of uber driving. The more you drive the more kilometres you clock up on your car, the more you pay on taxes, maintenance, service, repair,replacement of anything, GST and taxes. The more you drive the mre you are expose not only the risks of driving but the risks of fines for minorl traffic offences with big $$$ fine ticket. As human we are bound to make mistakes. End of day, you earn less than what you actually think!!!! /
