I was thinking about trying it on a day off some time. I would be interested to hear about any experiences regarding this. Either riding or driving. THX

you are better off putting up your own ad on craigslist or hanging out at the airport and undercutting all the cabs and uber/lyft by offering people a ride for a flat rate fee.

working another 10-20 hours a week for another 500-1000 bucks a month is not worth it at all IMO. i work enough as is. guess it depends on how much you make at your regular job i guess. there is a oil tech at my job who does Uber, it's probably good for him because he only makes like 10 bucks an hour at the dealership

Have you checked with your insurance company?

No I was just seeing what people had to say about it. I have a good job and no money problems was just thinking it might be fun and make a little $. After this thread and reading the old one that was linked its sounds like way more trouble than its worth. I think Ill just sit on my ass (like today) or do something else on my days off.

I wouldn't, but a guy around the block does it. He basically drives to downtown Cleveland during big events and said he makes very good money doing it in his spare time. He's retired, kids out of the house, so it keeps him busy.

Just took an Uber this morning after dropping the car off at the shop. Driver was talking about his experience a few nights ago with a passenger snorting a line of coke off the backseat while he drove him to the bar.

At the very least, would give you a few interesting stories I guess.
