If you want to maximize your profit with Uber, there are ways to make the most of your time and earn more money.
Driving
- Always plan ahead. Check what the weather is going to be in the coming days. Rainy days are the best days to make money because there will be less drivers and more short trips. There will be more requests because people don’t want to walk in the rain. Keep an eye out for upcoming big events like a parade, a festival, sports games, etc. Those events will also create a surge in demand. Uber does a great job with listing these events in their app. Take advantage of the promotions that Uber gives weekly like Boost earnings and Quests. Know your city so that you can know where the busiest areas are in terms of demand for rides as well as where the traffic is so that you can get to your customers quickly as well as avoid all the problem traffic areas. Know where you can be so that you can avoid tickets. Tickets are the biggest profit killer.
- If the customer takes longer than 2 minutes to get to you, cancel the ride request and you will get paid their cancellation fee. If it’s going to take you longer than 10 minutes to get to your customer’s destination, don’t accept the ride request or if you accepted it, cancel it because it wastes your time and gas and prevent you from maximizing your money for your time.
- Have amenities for your customers such as chargers, good music, etc. because it’ll make customer experience better and give you a higher chance at a tip as well as a better rating which will give you more, better customers.
- Have a tip jar. It’s like an ice breaker and speaks for itself and lets the passenger know that tips are acceptable.
- Drive for multiple platforms. This will allow you to have less down time and you will be able to take advantage of the promotions offered by both companies.
Social Networking
- Get sociable with your customers if they want to. Being on friendly terms with your customers gives you a higher chance of getting a tip and a higher rating. Additionally, you never know who the person you’re driving is. It could be an important person such as an executive of a great company and leaving a good impression on them can get you a great job.
- If you have your own side business, you can hand out your card to customers so that they can contact you if they need your services and make extra money.
