Solid information, I trained drivers for the largest taxi service in Phoenix before Uber/Lyft came to town and It's all about catering to the CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.
All I do is dress nicely, keep my car absolutely immaculate, and then I treat everyone like they're the president and I'm driving them around. I help the single mothers with their groceries because I'd rather do that than watch them slowly do it. I back in all the way through the sketchy alleyways, open trunk doors, etc. It is not uncommon at all for my tip to be twice or three times what the fare was. I make about 30% as much in tips as in fares minus expenses. No gum, no water, no mints. None of that stinky stuff, and none of that garbage in my car. Ultra smooth driving; timing lights, fast to speed limit only, obey all laws and make passengers feel like they're safe. That's how you do it. In my mind, I am giving first class limousine style service; people notice, and pay for it.
I did that a few times the mother kept talking how nice my car was and how big the trunk was helped them with the groceries and everything but as soon as I placed the last bag she like flicked her hand signalling me to go away. wtf did she think I was going to do? follow them inside for some tea? no tip btw
1. I dress professional.
2. I wash the car daily and spray febreeze and freshener before each ride.
3. Gotta get the cooler/gum
I’ve been saying that. We also ask if they need to charge their phone.
Good tips. I do all this. I don’t get great tips during the week. I don’t get 30/hr honestly. Weekends I do pretty well.
Greetings hope all is well, what market are you in ?😊
that feebreze every ride gona give u breathing problems
Spraying the car every ride will kill you man
If I got into your car and smelled febreeze, I would not leave you a tip. It’s like strong perfume or cologne and most people have sensitivites to them.
When people tip . Uber modifies the amount the driver gets.. there's actually people working behind the screen. Uber and all platforms work around the tip the customer gives and these apps try to save there digital money that's what makes them grow..... Uber doesn't care if you wash your car or what you do with your car they just want you to drive these people at a low rate so Uber and the employees can pocket the rest.
Just do 10 rides that pay $30 and you’ll do $300 a day! Be very picky and make sure the rides pay at least $1 per mile and it takes you to a area where the potential for a return trip is high…. This guy is nuts
Even in Los Angeles 30/ride is hard, best bet is airport and even then. Assuming 30/ride weren't uncommon if you are too picky your acceptance rate goes down, then the algorithm is against you, then good luck getting any rides.
@geryquin4214 He's probably not! It depends which market you're driving and he's probably talking about using multiple app choices. If you're just gonna trust Uber for your entire day... you're doing it wrong man! In my market we have the map radar so I'm very picky what I choose and I can say fuch the algorithm! 30's + p/hr
True but also if you are in a downtown area and see many $4-$5 rides coming in take them! You will quickly complete rides, earn small tips and stay in the same area thus easily making over $40 in one hour. If you accept a $25 ride it will take you out of this area and may end up in the suburbs with less rides available to accept. Sometimes those 2 minute pick up to 5 minute drop off can net you more cash as you ping pong around down town. Saturday nights are great to try this tactic.
This is BULLSHIT. IVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 7 YEARS. I DO ALL OF THIS. UBER IS TAKING OUR TIPS. & 60% OF OUR RIDES. 👎👎
There are no rides that pay $1 an hr. Usually $2-$3 an hour
Listen to this guy,I have been doing this but listening to him made a difference,I have had times when I gat a 50 dollar tip to 100 dollar tip ,not regularly but I get lots of tips from 5 dollars to even 20 regularly except the ghetto
I’m glad these things have helped you too!
I gotten 50.00, 100.00 on long distances rides. In city Reno rides are 3.00 5.00 8.00. but sometimes my tips seam to go missing 👎
LMAO you don't get it, the tips are just corrections for the lack of money the passenger shouldve been charged in the first place, your doing extra for less pay, just driving them somewhere when you have a lot more risks than the passengers emotionally physically mentally financially, they should pay more upfront the rides are to cheap, Uber x should have never been created it was only created because Lyft created Lyft standard letting people use they're regular cars not black cars like Uber, even though Uber stole Lyfts idea and Lyft came out first in late 2006 as Zim rides as a RIDESHARE car pull service for colleges, Uber stole there idea and made it passenger oriented, then the owners of Zim rides sold the company, and recopied what Lyft copied, but created Lyft standard which allowed people to use there everyday normal cars, so Uber had to create Uber x, they are both ghetto and cheap, and they brainwash passengers into thinking cheap rides plus tip are normal, that creates an imbalance, when it costs more to drive someone than what they're paying, and the ride is so cheap for the distance and they still don't tip or not enough....there's to many of you newbies coming everyday, Uber relies on the "circle of life" of stupid people, everyday someone is born everyday someone dies, everyday someone has a birthday, which means everyday someone starts Uber, or stops, either by be coming old enough, or quitting or getting deactivated, or dying, then it rotates, Uber relies on this to keep stupid new people coming in
These are actually good tips and most of them actually work for me. The conversation one the most. Also knowing when to drive also. I live in a vacation area where ppl are constantly going to the airport for $20-$30 per trip before tips. Depending on the time of day those trips can take 25 minutes to an hour and a half. Drastically changing your per hour average and the rates rarely change. Great video
I don’t do any of them except clean car and make $ 3000 a week.
Earned 3300 last week with a 2013 Prius.
It’s all about city market.
Depends where you drive.
Wow. At what market you drive ? In LA $3k impossible…
@@Aaron-tf1jf Seattle
How much would you make in San Francisco?
Yup my city market sucks Fresno CA 3$ 4$ Uber rides
@@augustinelark9638 I have to figuout the SF market.
It takes some days to know about a city.
The best time is 4:00am to 11 am
And
6:00 pm to 10 pm
You can easily make $ 400 plus every day
Always bulk buy the sodas and mint and gum if you see that it is working well for your first couple of days trying it, this video is encouraging ❤
Just dropping in to say this works!!!
I started off doing most of this but then fell into habit of wearing sweats and only cleaning the car once a week. I always keep cozy jazz playing from my Spotify and a pet friendly febreeze in the car to reset. This would get me compliments but rarely a tip.
Today I felt the deep urge to change up and found this video as a fantastic refresher.
I just went out for 2 hours implemented business casual wear, bought 2 bags of mints to add to my Uber driver routine. I only received one tip out of my 3 trips so far and it was a $100 all cash 🎉
I have to go and buy more mints since riders took full advantage 😂
Thank you!!!
I live and drive full time for Uber… me and other drivers here noticed Uber is taking more and more from each trip! Today I had a rider that paid $54 for their trip and of this I was paid $17! That’s 69% that Uber kept. There has also been no quests offered since Xmas here!
Uber only keeps 25% of each fare and drivers are compensated 75% of each fare in Australia. I know this cuz I met and drove a fellow driver visiting Hawaii.
Jesus
That's crazy that Uber would take so much of the fare.
Wow, corporate America my friend and I agree with you 100%. This is bad capitalism, when this method is used to exploit the system and their workers.
If you live in Texas a pair of shorts and a nice button up shirt is good enough. It’s 105 outside people will understand. Wash your car by hand. Buy a wash kit and it will save you money. Don’t eat in your car, don’t smoke in your car. I agree with car scent. But don’t buy the ones that smell like candy/sweet etc. black ice is the one known to most people so it will do. Check your car after every ride, it might look clean from glance but you’ll be surprised. People leave wraps from chewing gum in tightest spots. If you gotta drive into a sketchy area and don’t feels safe, reject/ cancel. You have no right to defend yourself in case of assault/ sexual harassment based on Uber policy. But I’d still recommend being a pepper spray. People are wild now days. For safety avoid driving late late nights like 2 am. 90% of your riders will be A. Drunk B. On drugs C. Both which increases your Chen es of being assaulted or harassed by 50%. Stay safe out there !
Some people need a drive from their home to the airport. Airport parking is very very expensive. Early flights may be on time more. Please consider taking these customers.
I disagree driving that late is great. Just stay strapped or get clapped
Pepper spray is a terrible idea inside of a car. You will not be able to breath if you spray it anywhere in a car and you will have to get out of the car
I use this method and works a ton. I will talk about how rideshare doesn't seem to tip as well. Then I tell them how I feel for the single mom with 3 kids. She only has this way to get to work and it makes me feel like I am doing a great service for society. Since doing this 1 thing has skyrocketed my tips.
And is this true or are you manipulating people for tips?
@@SallyJay524 Sounds like manipulation
what does it matter? the point is to get the tips lmao?
@@SallyJay524
Helpful tips! Thanx for sharing!
Dude making the first 3 things sound free XD. Honestly 6 and 7 are the real money makers. tipping is just law of averages, some people will tip, most won't. Those who don't tip (which is most) wont have their mind changed with a water or soda.. If people are tippers they will tip if you do 6 and 7 good.
1. Have a sense of personality/style and you are golden, just don't look like a bum/homeless or be in your pj's. You don't work for a corporation, so being comfortable is key. dressing business casual can be an unnecessary expense for some.
2. daily car washes? XD how much is that going to cost you? and if you run it through the gas station car washes, you are scratching the car! if you do that every single day your paint wont last a year. I wash it once a week, and even then I am reconsidering. And I have not noticed better/more tips on the first 2 days after the car wash compared to towards the end of the week when the car is now dirty.
3. for car smells just carry around some cologne sample bottles. A new air freshener every single shift (I assume you mean day) will also run a big tab fairly quickly.
4. Is a good Idea but if you pick up a family of 4 that's an awkward trip to the trunk and probably your whole small cooler inventory, and it's still a 50/50 on if they tip.
5. is good but going above and beyond, I would keep it cheap with just gum that i hand out, if you let people help themselves god bless you lol. A phone charger is also a good idea
I do Uber, and I agree with you. But it also depends on the area you are working in. The area makes a big difference. I am a minority but. Well, the area makes a big difference when you get tips, unfortunately. But most people don't seem to appreciate the extras in the area I drive. But being courteous and polite does help
I make between 25-30$ an hour on good days, I do clean , well dressed,and I’m very considerate. I have friendly conversations sometimes or nothing but sometimes people can’t tip much , but often they try to anyway. I do this for a living. (remind them you do this as your job and you could use the money. It’s true and sometimes they forget)
Good stuff man-super professional and can see why these things help you / great job with the video and super well-spoken-I appreciate it
I tried using a cooler during st Pattie’s day but I couldn’t figure out what to do with it when you have all 4 seats occupied. Do you just offer it and then put it in the trunk?
I naturally do all this, even wear a black suit but tips are extremely minimal. I drive a ‘22 Yukon XL
Bro thank you so much that is great advice and it is useful for me and everyone else doing rideshare for Uber Lyft or whoever I highly appreciate it 👍
These were actually really helpful tips. I’m starting tomorrow and this came in handy my friend
Great video 🎉❤ I’m glad I found your channel.
I spoke to an Uber driver about the things that you recommend. According to him, Uber policy denies drivers large tips to drivers.
Not true. I’ve gotten a $50 tip before
Talking respectfully and having a clean car is a must. Definitely worth those $5 tips on small trips 10 minutes rides. It really does.
Unfortunately , uber is not paying me enough to offer drinks, water and all that spending $30. I wouldn't mind a pack of gum tho
I think you can just write it off on your taxes as supplies. I use my uber debit card to keep my expenses separate from my personal debit card.
Lol
Water helps
@@Vic_NuRomno there's a limit to supplies ride off, the amount the taxes ride off as a refund has a limit and u could spend more than what u get as a ride off
Excactly
A $50 tip on a $22.98 fare? What's thing 8, give memorable Happy Endings?
Well done.
Had a guy tip $100 cash on like $24, drunk and late for his nieces wedding.
Nice enough guy but man, he should have probably just slept.
Im not running a 711 out of my car for free. I tried it for a week, spent more on water, soda, candy, gum then I made in tips. In my market, they dont care about that stuff
Good tips. I’ll have to step up my game!
This is all such good common sense stuff. The two worst rides I ever had with Uber was an individual in So Cal who continuously used profanity and complained how the Indians were taking over everything with the casinos. The other was a beater of a car that was filthy inside. And the driver dressed like a teenager just getting out of bed. I was pissed in both situations that A. these people were allowed to drive for Uber and B I was stuck with the ride both times due to location and time constraints. I should have left them with one star reviews but I had no interest in sabotaging anyones income stream.
your a class individual! whenever im in a uber or lyft, they usually do common sense things but its that common sense its so common type of mentality. im about to start working for ride share my first time and the advice is pretty solid.
Excellent tips! I think you would be a good restaurant server also. It basically boils down to providing great customer service, a cut above what they expect and what others provide.
Thank you for your Service. May God bless you. You are a God Send to Seniors that don’t drive.
I use my passenger seat for riders. Someone has to sit in the front sometimes
UBER is a cool job...i really do love it to be honest but if I stay away for a year and comes back and i have my badge expired, are they(Council )going to renew my badge for me or i have to do a test again???
What’s your Uber rating ? I’ve been doing Uber for 4 years I am in London I have a 4.98 rating goes up and down never had a £50 tip or even a £20 tip
I do almost all of your tips and make about $75-$100 a week
As a new driver I make around $600 a week driving uber
Thank you bro, just about to start my Uber side gig and wasn't sure what I needed lol.
First of all, customer takes a soda takes one sip, and then places brand new soda opened in the cupholder, which causes your beverage to spill a lot of riders. Don’t not speak English so talking to them is hard they don’t like when you speak English to them because they don’t understand it, every time I offered to come or or even some statues or salted nuts almost 95% rejected said no thank you and I’m glad they did because it creates mess so all your tips depending on person I don’t know what did you do to get a $50 tipbut that probably happened once and you bragging about it even offered them hotspot through my cell phone for Wi-Fi and never even got a thank you Harry Potter stories to yourself
Miss the doordash ride alongs could you do something similar with Lyft
This is a great video thank you very much. I used to work for a limo company and you are spot on with everything. I would still have it in your control and say “let me know if you need me to adjust the temperature”
People getting picked up or dropped off at clinics or hospitals paid for by the state don't ever tip. The state doesn't give tips, they are the ones coordinating the ride. None of these tips will work for that. Most of my rides during business hours result in these kind of rides
Which indoor camera do you use? Make/model? Any problems with it?
I just started Uber eats. Are you supposed to drive to the Little House icons? Or I guess it's called hotspots, they're about 40 minutes away but there's tons of restaurants out here locally. need some advice
Possible in limited number of cities. Not in Canada. Maybe only in Toronto.
Have a charger ready to rock; i have both iPhone and C-type on cable holder on the centre console visible in the rear.
Yeah that helps too
bro evenings in the bay back in 20-teens drivers had mic and speakers for karaoke on top of what your shared. its hot af rn so get creative drivers!
Great common sense tips. I will incorporate these.
good stuff i had to learn these myself the hard way but spot on this is cheat codes
Some passengers are cheap. A ride can cost $100.00 you get 35% of the pay, they ain’t going to give u a tip because some can’t afford to give a tip because ride was expensive. Then you have a cheap ride and u in a poor area don’t expect to get a tip being all cool and nice. If you lucky, a few bucks but not everyone cant afford to tip. Some areas pay drivers more depending on state and some pay crap. You won’t always make the same pay every week. This job is to help you pay your bills. It’s not a quick get rich job.

100% the way the pay structure is with Uber now... I believe Uber accounts the tips you should be making... There is one day I did Uber and for like 9 hours I only made $150 from Uber the other $30 was in tips. I would have been making below minimum wage if it wasn't for the tips.
When I offered drinks they would leave trash in car??? 😩
Spray good cologne like A&F ON YOUR SEATBELTS
also make turn to turn on AC in the summer and heater in the winter!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the Tips!
😂 this guy is living in a dream while doing this video 😂 dressing nice? Clean your car every single shift?? How much will that cost? And how much are getting out of every ride? And at night,, do customers care about aesthetics? Cmon man!? Your making drivers spend more money
For a trip 3.15 $ really ? The passengers get gum , mentas and why not a coke too ? 😂😂 es absurdo!! Al menos que el pudiera pedir al el mismo driver ! Ok lo entendería.. the customer don’t give a good tip !! Please .. 8 hours drive and get maybe 4 bucks!! Come on !! 🙄
Well, would you offer those drinks and services to riders that look broke and obviously won't tip? Such as university students or kids from poor neighborhood...
Yeah because you never know, some people that look broke tip the best!
OFER THEM TO CHARGE THEIR PHONE….. GET A PORTABLE CHARGER AND ALL THE CONECTORS FOR ALL TIME OF PHONES…. THIS IS THE REAL MONEY MAKER
I provide cold beer or liqour shots. Also in the other compartment 3 different kinds of mary jane prerolls. Still 5 star diamond with excellent service badges being my highest of my other awards. Just be you, never live behind the mask.
Are you joking?
You could be arrested
Lemme get a preroll
I know as a Lyft/Uber driver you can apply to drive campaigns with carvertise, extra $100 a month!
Also depends which market your in and how long you work
Thanks for the content you did provide some great tips
What do you di with the cooler if like 4 people show up? Do you put it in the trunk rq?
Yeah
All what you said makes sense 🎉 that's why the experience virgin airlines had its what makes the difference.
Here in California Uber charging the passenger a lot of money, so always making the passengers mad. Also most the passenger think we will take all the money for the driver. No it’s for Uber company so nobody’s pay that much tips.
Where you live dude? In my country nobody ever tip, and what you make doesn't cover the cost of soda or whatever... Dress nice and be clean I agree
Awesome tips❤
I'd definitely have both a cab camera along with a dashcam. No eating or drinking in my vehicle people are fuken slobs. Respect my vehicle and I'll respect you. Freshener is a good idea along with a clean vehicle presentation. No tats, nose rings, shit like that and be clean shaven. I'd want that passenger seat to be available. Be cordial but if the ride isn't a chatter box don't you be. I not drive past 23:00 and no driving to sketchy parts of town. Be respectful and never racial.
One other thing. Obey all traffic laws and especially relating to smooth driving. Do not brake excessively nor accelerate massively. Use your directionals on EVERY lane change some people notice shit like that (I do). Drive like there's a cup full of water sitting on your dash! Young people don't give a rats but elders notice a pleasant ride without being jerked around. Best vehicles are ones economical with easy egress both front & rear like Kia Souls.
Been doing Uber for almost 3 years now and I’m sorry to say this advice does not work, at least in my area. People are more concerned with getting to their destination more than they are the comfort of their car. The best thing to do is focus on taking rides no less than $10-$12 dollars. Try to take rides that will take you into place that keep you busy.
What times are the surges
I’m a little confused. You said rideshare isn’t worth it but you also are giving tips on rideshare? Have you used the solo app yourself to ensure that it’s actually worth it? I do think you are giving out good tips but your page is conflicting to me. Anyways, I average $30-$50/hr in my market and I look like I came from the gym every single day. 😂😂😂 BUT I have wondered if dressing nicer would boost my tips. I’m glad you had a good experience offering drinks.
Is it true there more money in working nights ?
I live near Disney World and have a Newer Honda CRV. Could I make $150 or more a day/ night?
No
Does Uber see that app info on your phone?
When I put a grapefruit scented air freshener in my car, I immediately got better tips. The women especially seemed to LOVE it!!
if you keep the cooler in the passenger seat what happens when you get a ride that has 4 people?
Especially if they bought groceries or went shopping and occupy the whole trunk. There goes the cooler, the ice, and the drinks! 🤣
This guy's at quick quack. I love that place (with a rental)
I was once offered water and I did not take it 😂 seems it bit over done. It’s already good enough I am getting on with a stranger
Great tips
What should i answer when they ask me how much money€ do i make With uber ? What should the answer be ?
Nobidy is drinking or getting gum in my car. Sometimes I might have smarties or sweet tarts but then they leave garbage wrappers in the back seats so nah. I'll drive you there safely and be cool about it. That's all.
I normally let the driver choose the music because they are the ones driving me.
If I am in a good spirit and cheerful I make tips ,when I am quiet I don’t have tips ,simply as that
I'm about to start driving for Uber again so this is very handy! Thanks so much!
Great video! Thank you for sharing
No problem!
I don't want drinking in my car
"your tips matter more on rideshare than food delivery"
umm, no. rideshare actually pays you per mile + time whereas food delivery apps give 0 fucks how far you have to drive or how long restaurants take and pay $1-2 max under most cases.
Great tips thx!
Maybe mini water bottles. But I'm not giving any food or drink in my car. Spill that soda. Piss me off
I make 23$ an hour with Uber…. I can’t fathom how people are making some of the amounts I’m reading in the comments. My car is clean and I am respectful. People where I live are poor and that’s why they Uber… they don’t have cars. Maybe I should drive to a nicer place to start?
i make about that my car is kinda dirty but i am respectful and conversational if the passenger seems like they want to chat some. tips seem spotty even when they enjoy the service but thats okay i know its tough out there for a lot of people. and like i say i dont clean my car often enough
Can’t count on tips…
Yup ya boy on point
Only way to make that much money guys is simple. WORK MORE THAN 11 Hours !!! Only way
Yeah….no…..this does NOT work
It’s not true Uber sucks don’t sign up I get one to five deliveries a day if I get lucky
Not worth it to do all of these things esp in market like Toronto
Sorry doesn't work. Uber is stealing the tips too.
In my market it sucks
Uber isn't paying enough in my country. Minimum service. Also tips are not part of our culture unfortunately.
I used to have chargers and gums and people just freaking stole it so i aint doing that anymore people is so disgusting
Okay I used your link but I did not get the 10$ free... somebody help me ?
Hmmm, that’s weird. I can reach out to solo personally if you’re still have trouble
@@Moore.Driven Please, I can actually show you all I have in my solo account and how I ha e tbat configurated so you can see it.. also I dont know how make the app to tell me how much I will expect to make and If I dont make it get some money
Can I drive Uber with an Owi felony six years ago?
has to be off ur record forsure
