How to use uber as a driver Videos

+Julie Shahid I have the old school cassette to 3.5 mm jack in my car. Works exactly like an AUX

Ok. Thanks.

+Julie Shahid You can still drive, it might affect your rating from those who try to request for it. The majority of customers usually do not request for it.

I guess I won't be able to drive any time soon..

+Julie Shahid We recommend having something that passengers can listen to their music, such as another radio

+Frank Branker Depends on the time of day and demand.

+KevinProNOW You can still call or text the rider. Every customer has the same number. It rotates with every new request you accept to the new customer's number.

+CincyNaturalista You can't

+john p Email partner support for your city. Some cities do not support this so don't be surprised if they tell you no.

+Senen Cortes It doesn't matter ur fucking SCAB and will learn

+Vicki Todd-Stubbs NOT! SCAB

good idea,ty

+Frank C No, but you can get their contact info and set it up with them that way. Just drive to them and have them request you.

+The Rideshare Guy --lol, after I asked the question I pondered on the ways you gathered the data and figured as much. :) I appreciate all the tips and information because it has really helped.

+Joni Johnson I'm The Rideshare Guy :) Haha jk, it's not that hard to figure it out. I tested it a bunch myself, talked to other drivers and uber/lyft used to give out this info more freely a couple years ago..

+Joe Ruiz Thx!

+rajaoui2007 Yea I heard/saw! Good news for drivers, hopefully they'll implement more driver friendly features: //therideshareguy.com/10-features-that-id-like-to-see-uber-add-to-help-its-drivers/

+Mr400mrunner I do, did I not respond to your e-mail? I have inbox zero right now, so maybe it went to spam for some reason?

+Nikita Gofman Yup, since it's based on distance AND proximity it won't always work. But you should be able to just have the pax cancel and re-request and that resets the other driver so you are more likely to get it. I've never had to do it more than 2-3 times though :)More info here on my very first podcast: therideshareguy.com/episode1

+handiable Thanks for the great comment, yeah nothing wrong with not wanting to work certain areas.

+Christopher Ayestas Wow Christopher have you ever heard the saying about assuming? I read your response and was like what the fuck man! In the video I say "there is also another spot on i-5 and as I go through it I don't want to get any of those rides from those people", well my man I cant think of any spots off of i-5 that I would pick up rides from a certain race but I do know I will get rides from the UW and I'm not a big fan of picking up college kids, I have mentioned that in other videos. Tons of people of all different races have posted on my videos (feel free to look) and I have been respectful to them all replying to every single comment, no one is racist here.

+Will Penley can you make a decent living while you figure out what career you want to pursue?

+Joe Ruiz Thanks for the support Joe!

+MrMarckeedee It should give you verbal directions, if they don't know the address they will at least need to give you a name and you can put that in the GPS, if they don't give you a name they need to think of something close to it. But yes you should have audio in the app.

+Christopher Lillard I'm sorry to hear that man, don't forget they get a ton of applications so they can be quite selective I don't blame them when they have such a large pool to choose from. I'm not sure about the LA area but from what I know you can do pretty well on the weekends in most cities, especially at night. Try and focus on working Saturday as much as possible and then if you need a light day make sure it's Sunday, here in Seattle it get's slow about 5pm on Sunday. Good luck man.

+Will Penley This is fucked up Lyft declined me because of my driving record. I have no DUI's just several moving violations but im almost positive it isnt above the 7 points in 2 years. Uber accepted me though, do you think I can still do real well if im working weekends only in Los Angeles ?  

+Christopher Lillard Hi Christopher, no you are not paid while just sitting in drive mode. Be patient sometimes you might be logged in for 4 hours doing small $10-15 rides and then you get a $62 ride and a $45 ride back to back.

+uBreakit iRepairIt Seattle

+Will Penley Where do you reside?

+uBreakit iRepairIt I find what you just said pretty much essential good job man.

+Lance Parker How is your driving going? Interested in doing a driver interview over Skype?

+Lance Parker Well best of luck man, you must be in NewYork? Crazy they want 100 rides for the bonus!

+Sal Amander Most drivers don't even know this so not sure how you'd expect pax to know this.

+Alexander DelargePoor troll.

+EXCURSION Poor scum. (:

+Alexander DelargeCalm down dude, you might have a heart attack! Breathe in...breathe out...breathe in...breathe out. There you go...doesn't that feel better now? You're welcome (=

+EXCURSION What a bunch of bullshit... Fuckin socialist dipshit.

+FrankJDMYeah exactly! I like to donate to worthy causes for the advancement of science and technology on several fronts like space exploration among others and tips help me to accomplish that. I am not a formally educated man but I do support all the people around the world with the brains,ambition and skills to advance humanity on a whole so people need to start caring and striving to advance our knowledge by helping your fellow man. The guy you help out could someday be the inventor of perpetual energy or the assistant of the inventor freeing up his time to use his mind productively then you can say you had a part no matter how insignificant in advancing society to the higher level and to that I say great job and tip my hat to you.

+EXCURSION That's Exactly what it is they Really don't give 2shits about other peoples situation I feel like theres alot of people who do need to get tipped for certain jobs

+FrankJDMThere a lot of rich people with huge homes that also order pizza and don't leave a tip...I think there is a term for that... Rich people with ZERO class?

+EXCURSION Exactly Bro the Rich people don't tip for shit its always the people who are humble and work hard that mainly do it shit I tip drivers most of the time cause I know how it is even though I still be making $1200-$1500 after uber and lyft take theyre cuts cause I be working like 60hrs a week and wearing down my car

+EXCURSION Mr Trump's hair being glorious. He is real gentleman. :)

+Alexander DelargeYou must be a Donald the Chump supporter...you think like one.

+EXCURSION Me love money, no people. (: poor people being useless

They get in my car and bragg about all the money they made in the market and live in a huge ass home in a nice area and NO TIP! 1 star bitch 1 star!

+Alexander DelargeNOPE...Republican scum hardly ever tip because they love money over people.

+EXCURSION Me no tipping democ rats.

+FrankJDMThese fucking low life pricks KNOW they should be tipping us period end of sentence. How the hell do you take a ride for 1/2 the price of a cab and think the tip is included unless you are severely mentally challenged (which I must admit there are lots of these in the south where Trump the moron is highly regarded)?

Oh but in the End when you go out and get drunk you tip the Bartender but not the Uber Driver taking you home safely smh

Uber charges $1 a mile but your sorry ass probably doesn't tip them either (if you are even still allowed on the app). Go fuck yourself now prick breath.

+EXCURSION Who the fuck said anything about not tipping your pizza delivery driver or waiter??  Not me!  I'm bitching about your CAB DRIVER who is already charging you $3 a mile, expecting a tip.  Or the person at the counter service restaurant expecting a tip.  That's like tipping at McDonalds - its stupid.

+Michael B. , I DO tip service people all the time! I tip the pizza driver $5 min every time even if he's only 3 blocks from me, I tip the tow truck driver who pulls me out of danger, I tip the mechanic (especially the honest ones who charge less for the same or better service than the franchise ones), I tip the maid when I leave the hotel room by leaving some cash on the table, I tip anyone the provides a service and guess what? They always remember my name and treat me like family and there is nothing wrong with that! In fact next time I'm down on my luck (it can happen at any time trust me) I know that what goes around comes around and somehow I've never felt abandoned in life because you get what you give. cooperation OVER competition = better society. Oh and by the way I have also worked many service jobs and with concern to the food industry (pizza in my case)...customers who are known "stiffs" tend to get "slower" service. Think about it...as a driver you see your order is coming up and another order to go along with it...the other order is a well tipping customer so when the 2nd order is boxed and bagged what is your instinct? RIGHT! You deliver the 2nd pizza first and it arrives in 15 minutes all hot and fresh with EXTRA Parmesan cheese and red pepper packets (and if you saw the order being made or assisted some "extra" toppings since we wouldn't want to skimp on a great customer!)...then as you are on your way to the stiff, you notice a sensation to take a bathroom break so do you deliver the pizza first or stop off at a gas station and relieve yourself first? Ha ha...by the time the pizza arrives cold the guy complains and grudgingly pays for his pizza after waiting 55 minutes. Hey if the customer is looking out for your best interest don't you think the drivers will reciprocate? Absolutely! When an above average tipper is identified , drivers will sometimes almost fight to be the lucky guy to get that order! I've even seen them bring free coke or a pizza that was cancelled to show their gratitude for the good tipper. On the other hand I've seen driver actually spit on a pizza as they were boxing it when a known stiff orders a delivery so if you like human ingredients in your food, keep stiffing your waiters and drivers! Some people say these drivers and waiters are morons which is why they work at these jobs but if they feel regarded in such a disrespectful way, your food may suffer a "disrespectful" act of sabotage so just know that these things do go on in restaurants and there is NOTHING you can do about since it's one of the only ways these people have some power in life. You better respect everyone no matter what their lot in life and don't be a douche!

+Michael B.  I could not have said it better myself!

You're correct, it is absolutely your right in a free society to needlessly give away your cash.  After all, you (I assume) worked for it.

+Just An Old Southerner You know what, I understand your point, but I tip to whoever I like to and whenever I want to, and there is no body of legislature to prevent me from doing so. Thanks for your concern anyways. 

+Mandy Hamilton I'm in the U.S. too. For more than a decade I've worked as a property insurance claims adjuster. I deal with plumbers, electricians, handymen, etc all day every day. There is no reason at all to tip a trades person. I mean, seriously - they do a job and charge appropriately for that job. If they needed an extra $10, they'd raise their prices by that amount. Do you tip your gynecologist or ophthalmologist?

+Michael B. We tip our electricians and plumbers too!! I don't know where you are coming from, but here in the U.S. we do tip our handyman electrician/plumber!

+AussieAdam I'm not familiar with that car but as long as it's newer than 10 years and is 4 door that's usually all that matters.

+Pillow Man For it's great for the convenience. 

+Alex Castro Is the pay good?

+Philip Nguyen Yeah, you need service.

Technically, isn't every business a pimp?

+D Sep lol go fuck yourself

When you are sitting around with no urber fare for a hour or two, it's called a dead zone and not a bi polar zone. Hey i just called you an asshole because I'm a taxi driver, and the company i work for is about to go belly up. I'm probably going to work for urber sometime next year. How many years have you been working for urber?

Eh?

Not gonna happen. Quit stressing about dumb shit. You'll live longer

+Red Dragon I don't understand your question. You can use it to go anywhere. Except maybe federal controlled installations such as military bases and such.

I guess just tell them that your door is pretty sensitive so they don't have to use too much force to close it.

+generationRx lol you caught that, I just changed it.

+JT STAR Very Lucy, indeed

+RideShr Damn, so fucking ridicules. Than the government wonder why crime is so high. Lucky for me, I can find other things to get into thats legal.

Probably not

+DStyles2345 Learners permit does not qualify, sorry

Nope, 1 year driving history or more required

+Danny Coughlin Probably not

+Miguel Perez Awesome good luck out there!

+Tyler Comeau 21 and older in most markets

+Mos Eisley You just need to have 1 or more years of driving experience. If you transferred states that's fine just as long as you've had a license for more than a year you're good.

well then, thank you

+Derrick Kirwa You must be at least 21 to drive for Uber, so your application will be denied instantly. They ask for your social security number so they can do a background check on you.

+Benjamin Ehlers The insurance can be in your parents name but they would have to add your name to the insurance and be in the insurance card.

I use ezpass and then they reimburse me for the tolls.

+laura j phillips Thanks Laura, Good luck out there. Drive safe my dear.

+Mark Molson For sure my man. You're not going to retire driving Uber, but if your safe and enjoy people then you will do well. And there is freedom in driving when you want in your own car.

+JEWJUDAS JUDAS You're polluting our planet with your stupid comments. Please factor in that this is real life not some hippie fantasy. And for some people making minimum wage on your own terms while driving your own car is better than working at McDonalds. I live in a city where the pollution is happening no matter if i'm on the road making money or not. I usually just delete jerkoff comments from my page but I felt I wanted to respond to this because I can't stand people like you who talk a big game and talk about the problem but do little to nothing to add toward the solution. you racist f%ck

+OhsephiusVision I get a few referrals a month but a small percentage follow through and actually follow through and continue the process.

+Roxasthesupersaiyan LOL I can't help it I guess.

+Alan R. hum that i'm not sure, I would imagine there is no age limit to use the service, as long as the payment method was correct with the app, so if you wanted to send you child to school with an Uber, as long as the payment and call came through your app then it should be fine. if I find out something different I will let you know.

+Sal Marone what about to get a ride how old do you have to be

my mistake

yes 21

+Sal Marone you have to be 21

+Carlos Hernandez I believe its 18 to drive.

Sorry should've deleted...

"Here in LA we have Union Stations"

The $20 is not taken out of your income/total earnings from my understanding. The $20 credit is supplied by Uber themselves not from the driver. What makes more sense and seems obvious is that if that were to be the case then nobody would be give their code out since they're giving away $20 and receiving $5 back.

Order them on your driver dashboard idk if it's for every one or just the busy cities

+urkoolUncle Yeah there isnt different level uber x which is base level which is almost any car. Uber black is Luxury LX platform cars like Bmw 745, Mercedez s550 and similar....UBer Suv is a Suv....The reason why they charge differently is simple a new honda accord goes for around 25000 base model and S550 goes for 80-120k and a SUV long ones go for 70-90k ........If you want to be driven in style then your going to pay more since the car is worth 4-6 times a normal car and SUV is mainly for people needing more than just 4 seats so Helps plus Suv wast a lot of gas.

+M B you get the 80% plus the 5$  bonus

Go to your partner login. Sign in they should let you order thru there. If you dont have the option email your uber partner in your city and order it from them.
