Shark you are an inspiration man, I've been watching you since the food delivery days 🤣. I started Uber at the same time as you, I don't work only for Uber, I think the best strategy is to do school runs and have a 7 seater car for UberXL jobs, mix and match. But never stress yourself to make money, like you said some days you make more more, some days less, just be happy with what you make and get home safe ☺️
Genius.
Absolutely!
2 years Ubering ! Time flies .
I’ve just done 8,000 rides. Not bad for a part-timer.
Keep up the good work Sharky !
Great video, clear and easy to understand
What an amazing video, you answered all my questions. I never knew as of December even electric cars are paying the congestion charge! Thank you for all the information it really helps, take care drive carefully and already looking forward to your next video.
Mr SharK, bravo 👌👏👏 😏 Very entertaining video & excellent execution! Just watch the audio levels, the music is very loud compared to your talking, either lower music by 4 db or higher talking by 4db!
I already lowered it by -6 but might need to a little bit more. I appreciate your feedback 🫡👊
Thanks for watching!
What a wonderful way to answer each and every question for beginners who want to do this job keep creating such a good content brother. I have been watching your videos from food delivery time and ur content is amazing from that time keep it up🙌
Yess bro. Great video. 👊🏻👊🏻. Today Uber executive was busyyy. So was Wheely. You know which one I prioritise 🤣
Haha yea I know. Hopefully will try that as well one day 😅
@ when its quiet they all are quiet. When its busy all are busy 🤣
Great video !
Евала!
how do i know about my reservation access?
I only get a electric car if my house had a drive-way. Everyday is a battle getting parking!
and thanks for your videos, you make my day seeing someone else in the grind too.
Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by reservation access..
Same situation for me with the parking.. not having a private driveway where you can park & charge is bad..
Thanks for watching! 👊
From 1st Jan 2026 you’ll have to pay £15 a day every day 7 days a week congestion charge - electric vehicles will no longer be exempt
Nice video and great insight. I think the tax calculation was a little off (if your profit is 20k, you still get to remove personal allowance of ~12k, so should be 20% x ~8k), but it gives a good example.
Yep completely forgot to mention that.
I should have said that’s profit after deducting the tax free allowance. You’re right thanks for pointing it out!
@ oh cool. One more question; maybe you said it, but with your target income of 52k per year (1k per week), what sort of expenses and therefore take home pay does that translate to? Hope that’s not too personal!
Nice one 🎉
Another thing people don’t think about is Tesla and EV insurance is generally much more expensive than a diesel or petrol. I ran a quote for a model 3 and the quote was £1000 more than I pay for my diesel merc which is £2600 per year.
It's not because of Tesla it's more like because they are a lot more powerful than other cars. My model s is only 90kw in the v5c so i pay 2000£ a year for my first year when a model 3 which is like 250kw is more like 4000-5000£
@@AndrasPataki-yw7xj it’s shit insurance groups most Teslas including model S are group 50 that’s the highest insurance category
I think the main issue why people are earning less is because they don’t want to work as much, they don’t want to do the jobs they don’t like or are very picky only wanting to go Heathrow and central only. The amount of times I’ve received lux and exec jobs in areas outside of central I’d say is equal to the jobs in central My advice as a lux driver is to not be picky with jobs. The app knows when you are sitting waiting for bigger jobs. The algorithm works on acceptance rates, the higher the acceptance rate, the more jobs and better jobs you will receive. As a lux driver I do a minimum 2 uberx jobs a day to show I’m willing to work and don’t mind doing a few comfort and exec. I’m not going to wait 4 hours for a £100 job when I can make £200 in that 4 hours and go home early. So my advice would be not to be too picky with jobs and continue moving, the app will give you what you want sooner or later.
You forgot to mention your car in expenses
Question: Would you go back to deliveroo? I miss watching your delivery videos, these uber videos are crap compared to your old content. Happy to hear you're doing well tho.
the new videos are great and his quality went up
I know what you mean. I do miss the old times and the interaction and the jokes. But even if I were to do it again won’t be the same as pretty much everyone I know left the job and are doing something else. Also as I said the pay is very bad..
Thank you! I’m trying to improve as much as I can. Hopefully the videos will get even better overtime.
Thanks for watching! 👊
Yes worth it
£30 Kensington to Heathrow after paying £6 drop 25% Commission drivers get £15/£16 disgusting. Drivers strike next Friday Uber Bolt do it don’t be a slave…
I Have Quitted UBER after 4 Years Uber Fares are Rubbish in My Opinion Left with shit Money after Deducting all expenses Not Worth the Hustle and the Hours Your putting in 💀💀
Uber driving not a real job bruv, it’s a hustle
No comments … been Uber driver in London since 2018 .. close to 6and half years today , 24/7 365 days a year my job 6 days a week 1 month off holidays … believe me I cash out good money and I’m still doing it .
