No exactly. I did Uber driving and delivery for 2 years. Made over 200 thousand and only spend 5 thousand on my car so not exactly. Tires oils change battery and maintenance
@@spawn11 there's maniacs who WILL do the 12hour max and have prop 22 which pays more than enough for gas and repairs. Here in LA you can make like $300 inna day if you do 12 hour shifts and know how to manage trips well. Imagine that 7 days a week (maniacs) is $2100 times 52 is $109,200. Now ofc you won't make 300 every day and taxes will rape you here in California, but pretax. 200k in 2years is possible, you just have to have SHEER willpower and discipline to do it for 365 days straight haha.
I started with Uber and Lyft in 2014. I've been doing food delivery only for the last 3 years. I began it all in a 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback with 33k miles. I'm still in that car with 377k miles now. I had basic mechanical knowledge, and thanks to RU-vid, I'm a pretty damn good mechanic. My advice to anyone doing this full-time..... learn how to work on your car and do plenty of preventative maintenance.
Should be a side hustle complementary to your full time gig. Maximizes profits and you should save 60 percent of your Uber eats money for your next car to keep it pushing
It’s not true cars are meant to drive your not gonna run it down from dashing any breaking during that is gonna happen as you drive anyway but keep in mind what a car is built for EX: a bmw is a sports car , a Toyota is a family car One of these is simply made to last and drive longer distances and for a longer time. The only exception is TIRES please be careful and take your time on these back roads and streets I’ve been dashing almost 30 hours a day for over a year not issues other than slow leaks and pops from random dirt and gravel roads
Okay, if you want to save THOUSANDS of dollars, then learn how to repair your car yourself! Don't know how? Well, that's why youtube is here! If you do food delivery, unfortunately, car parts will fail/wear out faster. Yes, some parts are expensive, but let's say, for example, you need a new water pump. Water pumps can be anywhere between $200-$500, all depending on what type of car you have. The repair shop says it will take about 8 hours to replace, again some cars take 2 hours, some take 8+ hours, every car is different. The shop charges $100 an hour for labor ( time it takes to replace the water pump from start to finish). Every shop has a different hourly labor rate. Dealerships charge the most $125+ an hour labor rate. So let's do the math, a water pump for your car is $300, add $800= 8 hours (labor/ $100 for every hour spend replacing pump) $300+$800= $1,100!! You watch youtube videos and learn how to do it yourself. You just saved yourself $800!!! Even very minor jobs such as oil changes, you can save anywhere from $20-$50 an oil change doing it youself. Plus, the added benefit, you know it was done right! Half these quick lube places put massive up-charges on oil and filter, or will say a very expensive part it's replacing right now! ( which it really doesn't). Not all do this. Some are very honest, so just be very cautious! Knowledge is power!!!!
If you work door dash or Uber Eats, you should have a car that you don’t have to worry about driving every day because as long as it is able last, then you should be good
