Many of us use Uber in our day-to-day lives, but have you ever wondered what it might be like to work as a driver?
You can make tons of money driving with Uber, whether you need a full-time job or just a side gig. Drivers make their own hours, so they can control how much money they earn in any given day.
Simply get in your car, turn on the app, and start picking up passengers—it really is that simple.
Signing up for Uber is super quick and simple, but there are certainly a few requirements you must meet before the company can approve you and your vehicle to drive with Uber.
Here are a few things you must have before signing up as a driver with Uber, according to the company’s website:
- Be at least 21 years of age
- Have at least one year of driving experience in the U.S. (3 years if you are under 23 years old)
- Have a valid U.S. driver’s license
- Use an eligible 4-door vehicle
- A valid U.S. driver’s license
- Proof of vehicle registration
- Proof of vehicle insurance
After signing up, you’ll need to wait while Uber screens your driving history and criminal record to ensure you’re in tip-top shape to become a reliable and safe driver.
It’s important to make sure that you meet all the driving requirements for your particular city or state, as well. For example, Seattle has its own set of rules and regulations for ride sharing services like Uber.
No car? No problem. If you would like to drive with Uber, but you don’t have a car that meets the company’s requirements, you can easily rent one through Hyrecar.
So how much money will you actually make driving with Uber? It honestly does depend on how often you want to drive; it may also depend where/what time of day you start driving.
If you want to drive in a major city like San Francisco, you can make plenty of money no matter what time of day you plan on driving, though you can earn even more money by picking up passengers on a Friday night—when everybody is still out and about.
Driving with Uber allows you to earn as much money as you want while working on your own terms. So what’s stopping you? Sign up and start driving now!
Plus, check out Uber’s other amazing program, UberEATS! It’s a great program for people who want to make extra cash but are under 21 years old. (Also, people can be a part of both programs to maximize their revenue!)
