This video works well for not just Uber but just anybody who wants to have good set of tools in their car for any situation and for just regular cleaning of their car interior.

Another good tip is to fit bespoke leatherette seat covers and to use rubber mats. This really reduces any concerns about soiling etc

"They're going to be a little bit musty" lol that's a very kind description :)

I would suggest putting a little vinegar in that soapy water because vinegar kills any scent and it's a disinfectant aaaand it's very cheap. I make my own cleaning solution with it and it works great. Some people are afraid of it because they fear the smell, I don't even pay it any attention anymore, besides it only lasts a few seconds and vinegar is oderless without using all those harmful chemicals.

Add a few pumps of hand sanitizer to you soap and water solution. The hand sanitizer will help with stain and smell removal. the alcohol in the hand sanitizer works like dry cleaning solvent. I have been using this mixture for years in my car and it works extremely well.

Dude you're (the) example of the distinct difference between an amateur and a professional. Of course someone like you would rock an uber business. Unlike uber drivers in my city that are part timers/amateurs. I respect you.

I just got my first text from uber saying that I can drive for them now. Thank you for making this video. It helps people like me get a little orientation before taking off on the first drive

you should also have coffee grinds if you are a uber driver.. someone gets sick on the floor just pour some on the vomit and takes away the smell. plus easy to clean up

I am an Uber Driver part time and strongly considering full time. I appreciate the video and 20 items list.

Excellent video. Thanks so much!

you an honest guy man , in just one video you basically gave all the ways you make money without wasteing any time unlike most youtubers.

Just finished my application to drive with Uber in South Florida. Thanks for all the tips! Took note of them all....

GREAT stuff dude. Thank you for the info!

Excellent video, thanks for the tips.

I've been contemplating doing Uber/Lyft for a while now, doing research to assist me prior to signing up....this video has definitely made me consider those items as essential, which I certainly wouldn't have thought about until they were needed. And by that time, it would probably be too late to think about them. Thank you so much for the insight this venture, makes it seem a bit less daunting now!

love this video! I live in a state that has bipolar weather, some great essential items to include to this list would be a small snow shovel, ice melt, sand, etc.

I am new to ride sharing & I love your videos. Keep sharing. Thanks for the tips.

Excellent video and source for information.

this guy got his shit together im looking into doing this part time...i live in another major market in georgia....growing up my dad built houses he always said word of mouth is your best advertisement....and online reviews and ratings are the new word of mouth....

I'm a new uber driver and your channel is so motivating. I quit my 9-5 for more freedom to work on my own career and uber has not only replaced my 9-5 income but it exceeded it... thank you so much for sharing your tips! I'm gonna be making a channel soon as well.

A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION

Calvin thank you so much. I haven't made my first trip yet, starting today. Your video made me relax a bit and for that I'm grateful. Peace brother.

HI and thank you. well done. just started driving today and am excited! you read my mind and the items you listed are great and then the Digital Apps! Yes they are necessary! Thank you very much.

Great video Calvin. Thx for taking the time to share your wisdom.

i suggest the lavender fabuloso mixed with a little water use as a wipe cleaner and a febreze type spray bottle required..

You the man. Good list.

Uber should pay you for this video. It's one of the best I have seen. Very thorough. Well-done.

This man here is what we call, above and beyond. Take notes, class.

Good video man I keep a little basket of mints / candy on the side. People going out for the night need that fresh breath. Comes in handy

Love the list brother

Excellent accessories suggestions!

You may be a simple driver but you are a f in genius.

Calvin, first off thanks for you helpful videos as I am just starting out. Wanted to let you know that i found the hand held vac you recommended at my local Walmart and it was on clearance for $15.00. Yup, you read that correct $15.00... I bought the 2 they had left in stock. so instead of paying $60 if you're viewers read this check the local walmart's for this vac on clearance. Oh, and yes it is an excellent vac.

Excellent! Thank you. This is all stuff I would have figured out eventually - but you saved me a lot of heartaches, I'm sure. Now I can start with these items and be prepared for anything.

Thanks Calvin....Good Clear Precise video

Thank you kindly for the tips! Love your vids so far... Starting next week... Juiced to start! :D

Really good stuff sir, I never comment but, your videos are so helpful

Dollar Tree sells a square cube made of fabric that I use to put things in for cleaning supplies or anything i dont want sliding around. it looks neat and gives passengers somewhere to put items they might have. i keep wet wipes for personal use and auto wipes to wipe down dirty feet or handprints left behind

I haven't started driving. I'm planning to do it for first time this coming Monday. Thank you so much for those excellent tips

great advice. Thanks for all the info this will help me out and I'm driving. I've been driving for 3 years and half of the stuff I didn't think about. I didn't know about the vomit bags thanks again.

Love your tips! Thanks!

You are so informative and organized. I would never have thought of half this stuff. Thank you ... you will do bigger things in the future.

Great video. This is super helpful as I just signed up for uber and lyft here in Houston. Maaaaaajor keys are being given in this vehicle. I didn't think about umbrella

Hi also include a tissue/plastic gloves box,small brush and a tyre inflater to check your tyres pressure and some water bottle's

amazing video uber should pay you for this bro

Thanx, great info!

Thank you. I'm gonna be starting (hopefully) soon with this as my new business and these tips for items will definitely come in handy help.

#1 a pack of backwoods

The title for this video should read "20 things every driver should have in the car" also add a good road side & first aid kit. Never admitted first aid to anyone, always give them the supplies to do it themselves. Protect and reduce your liability.

Just signed up and finally got activated yesterday. I'm going to get out there today and give it a shot and get down to business. Over here in Tallahassee, i really appreciate your starter videos, they help a lot as to what to expect and how to come at it mentally. Keep up the fight and keep keeping on.

thank you for this information. i am a new driver and i can already appreciate some of these items already. i was wondering what are some essentials and you have made it quite simple. the personal website is smart, VERY smart! all the best.

Great video! It would be awesome of you provided links for these items.

What type of camera did you record with? The video quality is great for this video. Thanks for the video

Thanks Calvin for the good advice!

thank you for heads up. 1st time uber here

Fabulous video. I was wondering if you could post a video or maybe ask a female fellow Uber driver to do tips for gals who want to get into Uber-particularly safety tips? That would be awesome! :)

Audio Quality - Excellent. Video Quality - Excellent. Content - Excellent. Presentation - Excellent. Please keep up the good work.

Thanks so much Calvin. You have great info and deliver it with passion. I owe you!

This is probably one of the most informative and helpful Uber videos I've seen so far. 5 stars.

i suggest the squeegee with the handle instead, just like they have at the gas station. at least it has a long handle on it instead. if your car is wet you don't want your clothes wet from leaning on the car.

Really nice video... I feel one more item can be added to the list - a Pepper spray in an easily accessible place like Door Console etc.

Great video Calvin! Concise and to the point.

You are so prepared!! Thank you!

More items I've found that is a must is gum, starburst, jolly ranchers, hand lotion, hand sanitizer and mini tissues. I have also found if you step out of your vehicle to open the doors to pick up and drop off. The pax love that. I've helped women in and out of my vehicle and they are almost shocked that I do that. I've averaged at 4.96 for the entire time I've driven for Uber.

You are the teacher that I need while traveling this Uber journey...Thanks for making that choice to teach! I personally, thank you..

Good tips! Thanks!!

Thank you Calvin for sharing this information.

Tire iron for whacking unruly peeps. A small radio so you can listen to Rush while playing soothing music for peeps.

I don't always comment on videos... But this is an excellent video! 👍

Excellent video quality. Nice and crisp. Keep it up.

Thank you! This list is a tremendous advantage for new Uber starters. People are so funny - anyone puke in your car?!! - maybe they get car sick themselves and want to make sure that if they puke in your car that they aren’t the first one! I like that drivers are not in competition and therefore be way more supportive of each other, so much so, that like you are making these super detailed videos sharing your experience which is only going to enhance anyone getting started. You share a lot of info that anyone in a starter business can use! I think you’ve been an entrepreneur way before you began your driving business!

Me: why would you need a camera in an Uber? Also me: *sees a thumbnail of a guy pulling the driver's hair on another video* oh...

1 - Assault Rifle 2 - Hand Gun 3 - Training in self defence 4 - Training in mental health issues 5 - Training in First Aid 6 - Defensive Car driving training 7 - Anti terrorist training 8 - Anti terrorist driver training 9 - Rubber gloves 10 - some extra pairs of rubber gloves 11 - Change of underwear 12 - Spare steering wheel (Over gripping will weaken it) 13 - Tissues - lots off 14 - Extra tissues - keep in boot 15 - Body Bag - just in case 16 - Anti spit hood 17 - Sharps box - (you know the yellow thing you put used syringes in) 18 - body mess/fluid kit (for anything that oozes from the body) 19 - Insurance - lots of it 20 - nearly forgot - driving license would help - but not essential Hope that helps, seems a better option - HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

Your tips helped me greatly

Calvin! Great video!! Thank you so much for the advice. As a new driver (had my first ride today) I thought I had everything I needed but I love the reasons you give for having these items on hand and I plan on getting all of them so Im ready. Thanks again!!

you rock

wow that is so like men you are ready for business!!

Febreeze yes, Lysol is a good choice too. Barf bags if driving in bar district. Cross bar lug wrench and flashlight for flats. Make friends with the store clerks along your regular roots for bathroom breaks. Keep an empty cup handy in case you can't make it to the men's room.

Thanks - Great info Greg

You forgot sunscreen ;) for your arms and neck while driving

Hey man, how did you get the vacuum to work in your car? I bought the exact same vacuum that you bought off Amazon and my suburban won't power it so I bought a 300 W inverter which did not power it so I exchange that for a 750 W inverter and that did not power it either. So if I want to run this vacuum that you recommended, I need to buy a 1000 W inverter for an additional $100. And the inverters that are more powerful that 300 W need to be connected directly to the battery.

I really liked this video. I picked up a few tips, and a list of things I need to add to my arsenal. Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks to your video before I started driving I used some of your suggestions and now because of my service I am a 5 Star Driver. I also added hotspot (WiFi) and chargers for all phone types and water.

The Repo Channel says he's repo'n alot of Uber cars. These guys aren't making any money. At least not in Chicago.

You forgot one item a weapon. You got Right to defense yourself.

Excellent advice for organizing a ride share toolbox.

Thank you for this. I train agents daily so most of this I already have. Never though to record my rides. Going to start doing that.

I won't pick up drunks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A LOT of useless stuff no offense

Thanks so much. I wish I'd seen it two months ago when I first started Ubering.

good info, thanks!

This is the best video I ever seen for Uber....informative and useful.....thx

Thx!

I found a decent (albeit older) hand-vac at the goodwill. Always worth looking there first. Excellent video.

Thanks a lot for all this info

Great video I am about to start and I really appreciate the tips.

Thanks for this video! Very informative and helpful!!

Thanks Calvin very helpful Keep it going!!

great vid, very good points on why you have each item.

Very well done. Thank You.
