[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do drivers mind making multiple stops for different passengers in a non-pool ride? Eg. Friend and I get in uber and we live four blocks apart so driver drops her off first and the me.

Also have you ever considered uber black or XL? Can you make money doing that?[/quote]

Oh no, not a bit...wheels moving/clock ticking= meter spinning.

I have no interest in BLACK, but would consider XL, maybe.   But my deal now is tight.  Paid-off ride, easy on gas, and I do all the maintenance myself... oil, brakes, tire rotations, filters.  Very few folks have a lower cost per mile to operate than me.  Practically every mile I drive is profit.  I have no interest in increasing my costs.

I do believe that BLACK Towncar and SUV drivers make an ok living ($40-$50k/year) if they're good at the job, a smooth driver & talker, and own their own ride, but I'm sure it's still a grind for them too.  I do know they wait for HOURS in between calls.  A driver for a service is making $10-$12/hour + cash tips.[/quote]
