How to Maximize Earnings with UBER?
If you just drive for making more money they it would be bit tough for you, because there are lots of variables work behind when you drive with UBER. Suppose you pick up the passenger from long distance then you are just wasting your time and gas. It doesn’t mean that the long drive can bring more earnings. So you should know the real strategy for earning as much as possible.
1. Drive in Peak hour
There are always a peak hour for driving. Suppose in office time and closing time traffic increase heavily over the road and at that time it creates a small crisis for a ride. And during this busy time riders have to pay higher rate to get an UBER service. This is also called “Surge Pricing” and you can make more money during peak hour by surge price. Surge pricing is calculated by multiplying the trip’s total fare by a current surge multiplier of 1.3x or 2.1x.
2. Try to get tips by effort from Riders
If raiders get a comfortable and great experience from you then riders may intent to give you tips. Formerly UBER app doesn’t allow letting the raiders to give tips but now it allows tips. So after pick up the passenger, try to treat well and make the rides enjoyable. Try getting to know the passengers by making small talk. Keep small snacks and water in your car, you will see the volume of tips will bring more cash at the end of the day.
3. Maximize each by UBER Affiliate Program

Negative aspect of Driving with UBER
Throuhg there are many advantages to drive with UBER but on the other hand there are some downside exists of driving with UBER.
1. You have to Pay for Gas or Expenses
UBER is only keeping 20% of your fare from per trip. So you have to bear all the expenses of Gas and other expenses. So you have to be savvy on spending for Gas. Sometime you are going to pick up riders but on the half way rider cancel the trip when you are halfway then UBER won’t pay a single penny for this cancel trip.
2. Downtime
Through you can earn more on peak hour but in down time you may not able to make any bucks. You have to wait for longer time to get request a rise. In large city have many competitions, because there more drivers come with their vehicles to get rider. So in this case you may not able to get expected trip.
