It can be done, if you do it right. Look at my video... you need a combo of driving, hitting bonuses, attracting tips, and recruiting pax and drivers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fCtWkfDFeug.html I hit $2400 in my best week. Many weeks got over $1800 with just a Prius and lots of motivation and activity (before the % raise in 2018 for Los Angeles drivers -- I made this during the slump).
I drive in San Diego and have hit the PDB consistently since I started driving. Thanks for this video. I'm going to copy your schedule its perfect for me.
Great video I live in Palm Springs and my weekly average is about 1800 to 2000 That’s about 50 hours and about 100 rides Not bad at all, the trick is to stay consistent. Five to six days a week 8 to 10 hours a day. Also the driving hours vary during the week and during the weekend.
I make about 1500 a week driving 50-60 hrs a week in Dallas. It’s very possible 9-12 hour days and I do the Uber rental car program so I take home about 1000-1100 dollars after I pay the 293 plus 90 dollars in tolls a week on top of 80 bucks for gas a week.
Like all things, your mileage may vary depending on market, weather and luck of the pings. In the Denver market I generally make $900-1200 in revenue per week. In a really good week with awful weather I might hit $1500 but then I’m also having to deal with all the fools who don’t know how to drive in the snow...I’m talking to you fellow Uber and Lyft drivers. Generally I work 6:00AM - 7:00PM on Monday. I stay out of the airport queue until early afternoon. $250-300 is common but not guaranteed. This past Monday I only generated $210. Tuesday I work the same schedule but the money is usually less, $200-250. This has been a slow week so I only generated $155 in revenue. Wednesdays tend to be slow. I’ll start out at the same time but if it’s not happening I’ll bail and do something else. This week I took a goose egg on Wednesday. Thursday seems to be feast or famine with some being $300-400 and others being under $100. This week was $80 for 5 trips in 6 hours. Sucked. Friday is usually a solid day with lots of airport traffic. This week the queue was huge and moving slowly. $160 revenue via the app but lucked into two $20 cash tips from riders whose fares were both under $30. Nothing but luck there. I usually don’t drive late night but decided to jump back into the abyss yesterday (Saturday) and I quickly remembered why I quite driving the drunk rush. 7.5 hours online, $190 in app revenue and one $5 cash tip. At least no one puked in my car. Today ( Sunday ) I’m in the airport queue after my first ride took me to the airport. Logged in at 10:00AM and didn’t get my first ping until 11:00. Turned a $4 ride into a $33 + $5 tip ride after chatting with my pax and found out she needed to head straight to the airport after fetching her bags at her hotel. I had her change the destination and then waited about 7 minutes for her to get her bags. I’ll take that kind of opportunity any day. I’m currently sitting at $829 app revenue for the week plus my cash tips. With 7 more rides I’ll pick up a $40 quest bonus. I should finish the week with $950 app revenue plus my cash tips. If I get lucky I’ll go over $1000. Next week is another week and hopefully I’ll hit the $1200 revenue mark. FYI every week I put $50 into a maintenance reserve account and throw an extra $50 at my car note. On the day my loan payment is due I pay it plus an extra $50. That keeps me from going upside down on the loan so I can always get out of my car if need be. I save a ton of money by doing 90% of my own maintenance and repair work. That’s a benefit of growing up in the 70’s with a bunch of gearhead friends. $1900 weekly isn’t realistic in most markets but you can always make more if you approach this business as a business and not as a part time job. There’s my ping, time to go. Be safe out there.
Uber/lyft is too inconsistent to rely on this formula. Sometimes you can average $10 a ride and sometimes it’s $3-4 a ride. It’s really luck of the draw.
I drive in LA and San Francisco, and you can only make a potential $1900 in San Francisco. In LA you're lucky to make $1000. With gas prices at $3.43 a gallon right now you can expect to make less per week.
Imagine if Uber did employ drivers. Imagine going to your yearly review, told you're doing a fantastic job, but that instead of giving you a raise, you're going to have to take a 20% pay cut... That's Uber...
Thank you for a template. My sleep schedule is very off, as I used to work overnight, so I have problems waking up at 6am to take advantage of the morning commute. I'm happy that I at least thought to do much of this.
Pretty soon, you and all the other Lyft and Uber drivers will be well trained enough to work for a company that doesn't cover you for accidents at work, though you drive for a living and cover 1000 miles a week; dental care or health care; or provide paid time off, performance bonuses, or opportunities for promotion. Oh, wait...
this week I want to take advantage of the guaranteed income with lyft. hopefully I can get short rides to fulfill this requirement faster, then I will either switch to uber or work on my own projects. fingers crossed for my strategy
Good practical information with not a lot of gabbing. As a new Uber driving I got a lot of tips out of those. I may think that $1,900 a week is unrealistic, but I still learned a few tips. Thank you.
Awesome video from an awesome guy this is the 3rd or 4th video that I watched from you and they're honest and true! They're not like those other videos of some rideshare guys that claim to be making 10 grand a month . Half of which are from making RU-vid videos doesn't give any truth to actual driving and to what you can actually make . I work up here in the Boston area where Rideshare incomes are getting to be less and less primarily because Uber has flooded the market with drivers , everywhere I look now, like in Boston there could be 50 drivers around you at any one time ,or like in the Plymouth area where I like to work ; I used to work there allot but now theirs always at least 10 to 15 down there. There is not enough trips to Warrant that but for some reason they're all hanging out so it's getting harder and harder to get trips with Uber. I noticed lyft is growing around here a little bit but still it's getting more and more difficult to get trips simply because the market is flooded with drivers I'm just wondering what the breaking point is going to be ! Thank you for these awesome videos and I'll look for others!
Jay - You don't "Earn" $1,900 per week, you "Gross" $1,900 per week. The real question is, how many miles did you put on your car to give 176 rides? At $0.30 per mile, you easily incurred $450 to $600 in expenses. Please post all the details, including time and mileage incurred with dead miles.
I tried driving this morning starting at 6:30AM 🤭👀 omg the traffic is crazy. I could not make it to that 7am-9am power zones until 8:25am. I got one person wanting me to take them out of the zone to their job which was good but couldn’t make it back to zone in 10mins 😡I’m going to stick with my overnight driving.
Msilverhammer Msilverhammer 2 days ago Everybody wants to make good money, take vacations, and have positive experiences... however... Jay forgot to tell you that he gets well over a dollar per mile regular driver rate, so if you are making .7350 cents per mile, and there are no bonuses, or any surge in your area, then you will make perhaps half of what he makes, and oh, did you notice that he is working a seven day week, and putting TONS of WEAR and TEAR on his vehicle. Jay has a Prius, but it still uses fuel, so how much of that $4+ a gallon California gas did he purchase to make that gross payout? Better system...do like me, and eliminate most of the bills that you can, so that you can work a three day week and still pay all of your recurring bills, have a surplus disposable income, and take time off to relax, recreate, and de-stress. Perhaps you are lucky enough to be retired, or semi retired, than maybe you can pay all your recurring bills with social security payments, a 401k, or 403b, and/or a pension if you are so lucky, and just use Uber/Lyft to supplement your retirement pay, while driving a few hours, just a few days a week. A lot of retired military guys are still very young after they retire, and they receive a military pension, so doing some Uber and Lyft rides on your own limited schedule can work great. Finally, can you imagine having to drive 7 to 10 hours every day of the week, and getting out on the road at 6AM rush hour like the rest of the sheep? The Uber 12 hour driving limit, (a/k/a the Jay Cradeur Rule), was created to prevent drivers like Jay, and Rideshare Revolution from this senseless, never ending, non-stop driving. I also have to ask incredulously...Why would anyone want to go out and drive during rush hour? ? Isn't that the whole reason for Rideshare, so you can set your own schedule, and avoid rush hour, and most traffic? Don't be a sheep, (BAAAAAA), or even worse a Lemming! (Lemming noise!) I am often woken up by the sound of people in my neighborhood, who like Jay, are slamming car doors, and starting car engines, as they are rush out to work, eager to get into huge traffic jams at the crack of dawn. Good thing I can usually roll over, and go back to sleep. LOL INSTEAD... Go to the beach, pool, fishing, hiking, the park, the gym, during the week, or perhaps just relax at home with a few good cups of coffee like me!
I made $1500+ on the first week for about 55hrs but I am now part time. I was easier to hit like $250 for 10 hours but when I work 4 hours I am lucky to average $85.
Only in SF and like markets can you make that amount. I uberrd in SF for a year and made $1700-2000/week with many 2k weeks. That is when they were giving out $500/week bonuses .. hourly guarantees etc.. I did it m-f, 120 rides, 37-40 hrs and barely worked weekends. In other cities where there are no bonuses or incentives or little to no surge... You have to drive 60+ hrs to make $1,000-1,200/week. Don't need a big explanation how to make money in SF.. it was a no brainier.
Anyone driving 60+ hours a week and covering an average 1000 miles for Uber and or Lyft will not actually have any savings, due to their being uncontracted, underinsured, no pension benefit, no health claims, no sick days "partners" who risk losing their life, driving license, insurance, or worse, every time they drive for Uber or Lyft. After actual Uber or Lyft fees, depreciation, gas, insurance, maintenance, healthcare, salary, and other costs (tickets, unexpected expenses), it is possible that the average driver living in an average city will make far less than minimum wage. If this is true, rideshare companies won't be exactly keen to share this information with their shareholders.
It depends on the city! Dallas is about .65 per mile. You will not make that there. You can make this in CA, Portland, and a few other states that pay more than a dollar per mile.
This is exactly my schedule! I’m too lazy so I take Sunday and Monday off. I make 800-1000 a week. I work 4-5 hours during the week and 10 hours Friday and Saturdays
Jay drives in San Francisco, this isn't representative of all areas of the country. He's sharing strategies that you could try to implement, but no guarantees you'll make $1900 a week.
@@SoCalBrian I drive in Los Angeles for Lyft & Uber. And yes $2.63 is the lowest I have seen for a local ride. I start driving in the San Fernando area, specifically West Hills. And I rarely make more than $50 after 6 hours driving for Uber. I made the most riding for Lyft in 7 hours once. I made $125.00 for the day because I had pool rides. But I only made that once only! The most after that was $80 with Lyft! So Sneaky Ray is correct, this does sound like B.S!
@@excelsciors all the rates drop massively in May of 2019 so this video being a year old I'd like to see an updated we actually makes now I'm guarantee it's $400 less
I will be honest here,I don’t make that kind of money in my market. I drive part time, with a lot of hustle and strategy and my prayers to God for a blessed great day, I can average $400.00 a week in 20 hrs. That’s 5 hrs a day and 4 days a week. And it’s only part time that I do this. Sometimes in one day I can average $200.00 in 10 hrs and my strategy is simple. I drive around cities that are busy with people more likely to travel far away like to the airports and hotels and I drive early in the morning at 3:00 am more likely to get people from there jobs and take them 30 minutes driving to their homes or from a casino and take them to their home that’s 1 hour away and no matter what city I am I always check the air ports and stay there for more longer rides. And that’s what I do.
You are miss leading people. You need to tell people this only works in sf as each market is different. 7 hr in la is olny about 13 rides and = at least $100. 12 Hours will get you 150 per day.
It can be done, if you do it right. Look at my video... you need a combo of driving, hitting bonuses, attracting tips, and recruiting pax and drivers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fCtWkfDFeug.html I hit $2400 in my best week.

Fernando Rodriguez If I am diligent I make $1200-$1400 in Lyft, and an additional $100-$200 in Uber. That's doing 50 to 60 hours I f driving, 45 to 50 in Lyft. My Uber $$/hr is low because I often do UberEats with my stepdaughter as a way for her to get her allowance. 3 hrs here nets $25-$40 doing UberEats.
I was encouraged that one can make good money on a sane schedule. SF area is probably better paying than most, but the mindset and advice can apply to many markets. One of the very best videos I've seen! Thanks!
I saw RU-vid videos of the Rideshare guy said that Uber is now telling drivers where the rider is going before accepting the trip. I don't see that yet, and I drive in California. I don't get airport rides and that is good because I don't like LAX airport parking!
U cant go off of this..area where u rideshare is the factor. Btw I'm also a lyft driver. On his 20 rides he made $200. So that's based on $10 a ride. What about those $3 or $4 rides.
I am calling BS, show bank statements that show a deposit of every single week $1900 of only driving UberX or regular Lyft, especially in CA. I have never seen anyone in CA make $1900 every single week, just look at how many RU-vidrs live in CA and complain about the pay, do you think they could complain if they were making this type of money. Stop feeling people with false hopes.
Rest for sitting for 10 12 hours, il try working at a warehouse for 10, 12 hours a day, I do grubhub, door dash now full time sitting in my car 10 12 hours a day is heaven compared to what I used to do
Alfred Luiz I seen a guy due two Grand consistently on the slow out of season. I was shocked he showed me his pay each week. He basically drove as much as you can throughout the week. No days off...
You contradicted yourself on #5 and #6. You talked about taking care of the passenger to make more in tips, but then you say you deny a passenger because you don’t like their destination. How do you know that you won’t get a good tip by driving someone across the bridge?
I am a discipline person and I NEVER been able to come no where near those figures you presented on this video. I work 10 to 12 hours shifts 7 days a week and the most I ever made was under 800.00 including tips and bonuses. For example yesterday I made only 48.00 dlls on a 12 hour shift. So tell me the real story how can you make 2200.00 ??
I only try to make 50 a day here in dfw , it takes 3 hrs... that's it.. effortless.. so 48 in 12 hrs is crazy... heres a tip , don't wait for a ping ever , hit the highway you will ping instantly because of the speed youre traveling
@therideshareguy HI, sorry but up here in Ottawa Canada, whether you're in Lyft or Uber. . . tips do NOT come that often. I'm typically a 4.97 rated driver on average, and the best I can do, or rather, the best I've been able to do, is a 40% average. That is to say, that if I get 10 rides, 4 people will tip. I don't know why, but people up here are just not tipping people. Don't get me wrong here, people do tip, just not very many will. Maybe it has to do with the income average, I have no idea. Maybe in San Fran where you are, the income av is better I believe, so it would stand to reason I guess.
This is misleading. How much is real net income. You almost put 10000 miles on your car after more than 620 trips per month. You will pay more than $1000 for gas per month. You car will be dead in one year.

I don't think you can make $1900 per week just driving Uber X and Lyft Classic. I drive both in Dallas, TX. On a good day, busy day, I can get 25 rides per day and make about $200. But in the summer when the market is flooded with college students home from school, I've only been getting 10-15 rides. I've only been making about $500-600 per week and that's working part-time for a pool company. However, in the peak Fall through Spring season, I regularly make $700-800 per week. I'm buying a Luxury Sedan at the end of the year and since it will be a 2015-2016 car, I will then qualify for Power Driver Bonus if it is in Dallas at all, which I can't find any info on the web. At least this way I can draw from Uber Select, Lyft Lux and Lyft Lux Black, and of course, Uber X and Lyft Classic when it is slow. I think Jay's point is not so much how YOU can make $1900 per week, but what you can do to be a disciplined driver to increase your income! I recently started driving for Lyft as my car was not eligible due to the age of the car But that changed recently, so I can now drive Lyft. But, I've noticed that in most cases it is 10:1 Uber: Lyft ratio. Some days are slightly higher for Lyft. But he is right, I find that Lyft fares are generally higher and the payout is higher, except for minimum type rides which suck! Lyft pax generally do not like Uber, and sometimes I can't blame them!
Wow!! Uber bonus $125 for 45 trips in SF ? I've been ripped off they gave me a $76 bonus for 43 trips last weekend in San Diego. Also, PDB in Lyft is gone...too many cars here so I don't see how u would make $ 1900 here. At most $800 working 80+ hrs and driving the car till the wheels fall off...just sayin...those numbers you get in SF are impossible to achieve in other markets 😨
This might work in your area, but not everywhere. Uber and Lyft don't have bonuses that high in my area. I've heard some people in this area do Uber/Lyft full time and they work 10-12 hours 7 days a week to earn enough. I drive part time, Friday and Saturday evenings/nights for 8-8 hours and manage $140-$170 on average. Some times I'm lucky and break $200. Your tips don't work in the Lehigh Valley.
Well,I have done 8600 rides with lyft and almost 5000 rides with uber in 3 years,only ones in New years eve I make 2k so u may get lucky very few times,1900 in 2 weeks maybe but in one week?..I don't think so,at least not in South Florida!
In CT it might be possible if you work exceedingly long hours, ie north of 14 hours, probably 6-7 days a week. 1000 a week is feasible if you put in 8-10 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. Not the greatest money, but I’ve heard NYC and Boston drivers make a killing...all relative to where you live I suppose
Your Lyft bonus!?!? I’ve been driving since December and frankly don’t remember what new driver bonuses I received. Now- zip zilch nada nyet. No surges, no bonuses. Even when Uber has $10-$12 surges on weekends I’m in a college town - short hops, drunk students and rare tips. NOT bitching Last week made over $800 w Lyft Uber Eats and UberX just facts. Little incentive to turn on Lyft. Jay can you explain?
What city did you drive in. Some cities don’t surge like others. But if you make this much 90% of drivers make a lot less and suffer of not making enough to survive. So you enjoy your time in Vietnam while others get the pain.
So pretty much dedicate your life to driving. Drive during the worst times and places to drive (peak rides.) You say stay out of the traffic, but the peak rides are during hours with the heaviest traffic. You can not net $1900 a week (in Los Angeles) without dedicating most of your life to ride sharing. Please be realistic. Drivers (in Los Angeles/Orange county) will be very disappointed when they try what you're saying in this video.
He is sharing how he earns about $1900. Everyone's different and how they work. If you are being efficient, know how to work around your area and dedicated than it's possible. This isn't something you get from the start but you learn overtime.
Youll never make that is Las Vegas. Uber Lyft dont give you any surge pricing at least iv never seen it from Lyft. And when it does surge pink its gone in minutes. I can make 100 in 7 or 8 hours but thats with tips and if no tips your well under 100 bucks in Sin City. Why IS SFO better than KLAS? What Lyft bonus? I get $56 where is the $250?
How much does your Market pay after Uber takes their cut per mile? Reason why I ask because the people that I see that are making this kind of money gets at least $0.80 a mile after uber's take.
im calling BS on this video. just by the way this guy smiles i can tell he is not genuine and is deceiving people with this video. Fact, if people were making this amount of money everyone would quit their day jobs and drive for lyft/uber. BUT THEY DONT. you know why? because this type of money doesn't exist
I have been driving in El Pas,TX for about five months and have never seen anything about bonuses from Lyft and Uber. Is that something only offered in certain markets?
