When you get there, make sure to confirm your passenger's name by asking them to avoid any weird mixups

What is the process of becoming a drive like?

Also to answer your question, drunks. I would get a camera for the inside as well as the outside.

I've never driven for them, but from the times I used it a few things I really liked:

*The driver had a roll of paper towels when I was getting in from heavy rain
*Some drivers had bottles of water/small boxes of raisins
*Cars being clean - I mean really spotless inside
*One guy had a little bio card taped to the back of the seat - described a bit about himself and what his interests were

Can't say for Uber, but I was with Lyft a year or 2 ago.
They had me take an hour class, show proof of registration and insurance including a vehicle inspection, and a background check.

Get a dashcam.


This isn't a joke. You never know what a person might do while drunk. Be best to keep yourself safe.

No but really, I take Uber a lot. Now that its summer a lot of drivers have been stocking water for ppl. I never take one myself, but it seems like a nice touch. Idk I give my drivers 5* regardless though

Fun job. I did that for a few months.

Get a spare charger for customers needing to boost or preserve phone life (don't skimp, get a quality charger).

For summer, some water bottles on ice can be a nice extra for customers.

Asking about music preferences can either start a conversation or help avoid long silences.

Most of the time, the customer is more nervous than you are unless they're used to taxis and the like.

If you have an airport nearby, you can make alot of money in one night by staying around it for people needing rides to hotels.

When you're tired, you're tired. Call it quits and go home. I once pushed myself to make a few extra bucks and narrowly avoided two wrecks. (Thankfully one customer understood and the other wasn't paying attention). The extra cash isn't worth risking your life and the life of your passenger.

Needed to upload a picture of my license, insurance, vehicle registration, have my background checked, and vehicle has to pass inspection (scheduled that for this afternoon, it's a three year old car with nothing wrong with it so I'm pretty confident it'll pass immediately).

Maybe they didn't before but they do now.

I'm sure they don't want some child molesting murderous bank robber driving their customers around

Yeah I don't think I'll do that. People are inconsiderate jackasses and will probably make a mess in my car.

No kidding, I almost moved to Omaha last year. That's pretty cool. I'm not sure how they do surge pricing but it might be every weekend. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it
