    UPDATE: driving for Uber using the rental program has definitely helped me when I need extra cash and catch up on bills!! When I don’t need the car, I just turn it in and get a new one when I want to drive again. I still prefer to drive in the mornings and on weekends. If you’re looking for a flexible side hustle and/or in need of a car “quick fix” I still recommend!! Use this link to get a bonus when signing up. I just invited you to earn with Uber. Earn at least $1,750 for your first 180 passenger trips in 30 days. drivers.uber.com/i/t9ssese87sf4

    I got started with rideshare 7 years ago with the rental program. I think it's a great option if you want to try rideshare but don't have a vehicle. It can also be fun because you get to drive a lot of different vehicles. However, from a financial perspective it absolutely does not make sense to keep renting if you plan to do it for a longer period of time -- those rental fees add up, in my case I was spending $16000 a year on rental fees. Also, the car insurance that comes with the rental is pretty bad (with a $1500-$2500 deductible). For many drivers, they are just one accident away from financial ruin.

    If you want an easy no worries car to drive, this is a great way to do it. Obviously it's a big weekly expense against your earnings.
    I'm mechanically inclined, so I've gone the route of buying older upscale brand cars and driving them for 6-12 months. I can always find a clean and presentable BMW/Mercedes/Audi e.t.c for $4k-$5k. Of course you need the money up front, but for me it's much cheaper longterm.

    7 years driving my car for Uber.
    I'm in 1st week of using Tesla3 rental as an experiment. I'm driving the same number of hours as my ICE (25 hrs).
    $382/week including taxes and fees in Silicon Valley.
    So far I have had to charge each day at $20 (5 days). So far that's $482 in expenses and 2.5 hours of charging at Superchargers for $575 revenue. For Sat/Sun I expect to grab another $500 revenue and another $100 charging fees along with 2 more hrs of charging.
    So, $1075 revenue with $682 in expenses leaves me with just under $400 net while wasting 4.5 hours idle time while charging.
    To make approx $1600/month net while paying about the same $1600/month for rental doesn't make sense unless i drive closer to 40 hrs vs 25/wk...which I won't do.
    I do get many Green rides but no XL with rental so I actually think I'm losing out on those sweet long XL and the $$$.
    Without completing one full week, my opinion is dont rent unless you drive minimum of 40 hrs/wk.
    If I were to rent this for one year, I would have paid fees half the price of brand new Tesla3.

  • @TheStogieMan0710

    It seems Uber is definitely better than Lyft when renting according to Nayecole. I rented Lyft and there’s a 20 ride minimum plus before you receive any of your earnings Lyft deducts until the weekly rental fee is accumulated. I can’t begin to explain how mentally and psychologically difficult that is to feel as though you’re working for free basically until you reach the ride quota and rental fee while you’re burning and having to buy fuel. So the Uber rental definitely seems to be best. I caution any of you to stay clear of the Lyft express drive rental program.

    I live in Fresno CA. I’ve been driving for Uber 3 months. I have an electric vehicle through them that costs 350 weekly. I charge for free here in Fresno. I refuse to drive full time. That defeats the purpose of quitting FT, and without benefits I’m not giving anyone that much time. I may as well go back to work.
    What makes it worth it? Access to a car. I don’t own one, and having one is better than not. However I drive about 10 rides a day. That’s part time. Most of my driving is to pay for the car. 😢
    Now in San Francisco (I live 2.5 hours away) I can make the fee giving 20-26 rides in a day (10-12 hrs). In Fresno it takes 2-3 days. Driving 2 days in SF can earn the fee and earn me 350-400. That’s better than the 150-200 in Fresno. I lose free charging access though and have to drive far.

    It’s a bit expensive over 1900 a month with rental and gas costs you will need to drive 8-10-12 hours a day in order to at least make $700-800 to pay for your life with.. it’s a bit of a uneasy feeling knowing your one accident away to financial demise. The deductible with that will doom you!
    Another thing you have to give a minimum of 30 Uber rides a week to keep it through Uber. Also if you get sick and cannot drive you will have to give up the car😢 which is another huge concern so it is a hustle that you can get into bit for the long term if this is your sole source of income can be heavy on the brain.

This is very reassuring and definitely puts a lot of my worries at ease. Not only do I uber uber to pay bills but I am attending ASU with the help of Uber's benefits.

    Try Turo and find a private person that specifically rents cars to drivers and negotiate a rate. You can usually find someone with a decent hybrid for around $35 a day (depending on your market). I’m in Indy and the cost of registering a car here is pretty inexpensive. I only drive occasionally, but I drive a really nice car and there is no chance I’m destroying my car.

    For Hertz its a lot more expensive than whats in the app. Like for Telsa 3 It says 350 or something but then if you want to get the full insurance(which you should or your out money if you pop a tire or somebody hits and runs you which happened to me like 5 times it pays its self off). Its 500 a week plus electrical cost/gas if you got a gas car and they make you pay 200-300 deposit that is part of the first weeks pay. so you end up paying a lot more for the first week usually. If you can rent a car for under 350 with insurance it makes sense during the winter time during the summer time when its slow just try to buy a car.

    It seems like not all Avis and Hertz rental locations participate with UBER.
    I recently discovered this while having my car in the body shop, after I was hit by another driver while Ubering.
    The other driver's insurance paid for the rental due to her being at fault. Enterprise wouldn't let me use the rental to UBER and neither would UBER.
    This took about 10 phone calls with UBER driver support to figure out. Driver support, for whatever reason, wasn't getting what I was explaining to them; go figure.
    Finally, after a few days and multiple phone calls to Driver support, the nearest eligible Rental agency, was over 70 miles away and would cost me approximately $450 a week.
    I already had a free rental through the other driver's insurance, but I couldn't use it to UBER. A real cluster@#%$
    UBER needs to expand their rental partnership.
    I couldn't work for nearly 3 weeks due to my car being in the body shop.

    I feel it is still worth it (a pro) as far as the weekly pay being when you think about it, between a car note as well as insurance and maintenance that would probably equate paying more than what paying weekly would be for the car especially since that's included. I see Uber would be better for a number of reasons from my experience of driving with Lyft. I'm happy to see we get our money up front versus having to do rides first before making our money like Lyft did. Thanks for this video girly it was helpful.

    Damn I’m sorry. Renting weekly is ridiculously predatory. Avoid at all costs please. $356 a week comes to $18,500 a year. A quick search found a 2020 Kona AWD with 20K miles for $18,000. Let’s call it $20K for fees and interest. Insurance maybe $1.5K/year.
    After 2 years, you would have paid $37,000 to rent. Versus $20,000 to buy used + $3K for two yeas of insurance. And if you sell that Kona after 2 years, you can get $14,000 (2018 Kona with 100K miles). If you want to sell quick, you could take $10,000 for it.
    TL;DR. Rent for 2 years $37K. Buy used with insurance $23K with $10-14K in residual value. That’s over $24K difference you’re paying to Avis over 2 years!

      I bought my 2015 Honda Civic with 40k miles for 7k in 2020. The insurance is about $80 a month. Now it has 145k miles on it, this year i've averaged around 60,000 miles, which is close to a 40k tax deduction with the per mile write off which goes into the negative against the car, so you can't do that with a rental. Just write off what you paid for the rental. I also can use my car for Uber and Lyft both. So I don't think a rental can compete, unless you decide to do one for like a week or two and plan on driving 12-14 hours a day everyday and don't want to kill your car.
