Thank you fro sharing, this makes a lot of sense. I have been thinking that having two cars is a great strategy

Words to live by. Thanks for the sub!

Thanks for sharing! Yeah sounds like you have a killer deal going

It's the car my wife has. Great on gas. Used to take 24 to fill up now almost 60

You are so welcome. Thank you for commenting

Appreciate it. What car do you drive now?

Thanks for sharing. Yeah it's a difficult game, really hard to make the money you need to. The thing I would tell you is to play both apps and look for the surges and bonuses. You'll get more Lux on weekends

Thanks for the sub! I appreciate the feedback

Awesome! How's it going?

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you're in a good market for XL. Might be a good idea to get a different van for now

That's great to hear!

How much it costs

i thought XL meant 6 passengers. Avalon is 5 seater just like a Civic

Great vehicle!

@@jlover911 the model qualifies

but u get the same rate as a honda civic right?

Sounds like a great car

What mpg you getting with accord

@@Sloba1992 With a lead foot, I see 40mpg summer, 36mpg winter.

Do you get the same rate as a Honda civic?

Thanks!

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate that. Sounds like you're looking for a different way to make some money. I put together a special training on earning referral bonuses with Uber and Lyft. Can I share it with you?

Thanks for sharing

You're welcome, thank you for commenting. What city will you be driving in?

Very nice!

I agree

I like the Sentra, really good on gas

Yeah I think that’s a smart move

Yup, great car for this gig. Thanks for commenting

Good question! I would find a Uber Xl driver and talk to them

Thank you my friend, I appreciate that. Think I was using CarGuru

😁

Hey, thanks for commenting. It should qualify as long as it has 4 doors. Hows the gas mileage?

Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing

LMAO

Thank you for commenting. Great tip!

Don't use that suburban. I would use the tesla and see if it makes sense for you.

Hey great question. I really don't know, you should contact Uber support for that. Thank you for commenting

Renting an XL wouldn’t be worth it

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback

Nice! What market are you in?

Good question. You know, I think with the van you would crush some XL rides in Vegas, doing both Uber and Lyft. Don't go crazy investing in LLC or anything just yet. Start driving, learn the business and then make a more educated decision. I hope that makes sense.

Much appreciated

Thank you for commenting. Why do you buy a new car every 4 months?

Well it didn’t start out planned that way, just kind of happened. I started not knowing anything about this gig, so here’s a rundown. Started: may 20 2019 bought a new leftover Elantra. Drove it 2 months 16,250 miles. decided I wanted to do airport only and comfort just came out and wanted to do that. Bought a new leftover Buick La Crosse that could also do premium on 7-31-19. Jan 20 Premier came out. Traded the Buick in on a New Tahoe. April 2020. Pandemic hit Premier dead. Sold Tahoe made 3 grand. 10k miles on it. Bought a new 2020 Accord (comfort/X) in may 2020. No one driving at the Airport. Killed it$$$ Aug 13 2020. Traded accord on a Caravan GT 2019 with 11k mikes on. XL was really hot at the airport. No X cars so riders were forced to take Xl. Dec 30 2020. Sold van for what I paid for it I put 24k on it. Bought 2020 Qx60. I missed Premier. Killer deal. Put 27k miles on it traded it on a New Highlander Hybrid. Got 500 less than I paid for it. Tomorrow trading Highlander in on a Suburban. Put 14k on it in 2 months. Getting 300 les than I paid. Tax savings of 2900 too on top. I’m very good at the used market and have contacts in buying, no finance. I shot for 8k a month. It’s going good.

@@dennisbruce4448 Wow, thank you for sharing. Could you do a video for the channel to help others do the same? I know people will want to hear what you have to say

@@dennisbruce4448 im trying to do exactly what you're doing I rent directly from lyft and it's killing me so I'm looking for as much info as I possibly can regarding getting cars

Can you offer any help I'm trying to start out in Pittsburgh right now

Good point, thank you for sharing

@@TheRideshareHustle Another factor to consider, in order to get the most XL fares, one would have to predominantly drive at night when the demand for such requests are at its highest. That said, you will be predominantly dealing with a younger age demographic, whose propensity to be a tad belligerent and/or disrespectful (either towards you or in the manner in which they treat your vehicle, ie: refuse left behind, concealing open containers of alcohol, etc). The best times for getting the most respectful XL riders is throughout the daylight hours when they are either going towards or coming from an airport or in need of transporting large objects.

@@PlatosCaveInc good point thank you for sharing

Facts!!

Thank you for sharing

Yes electric is good

@@TheRideshareHustle thanks

Hey, thanks so much for asking. Do you own the car?

Sometimes those cars are too expensive and it doesn't make good business sense

You're right, it really isn't, except if your current situation depends on it. Definitely develop your exit plan

Don't do it unless you're going to form a company

Nice! Thank you for commenting. When are you thinking to start?

@@TheRideshareHustle This fall quit my temporary semi retirement job and start this and see if I can make a go of it in my area.

@@russelllambert777 Thats great! Fall should be a busy time, school will be back in session. Btw, if you sign up with my link when you're ready to start, I'm giving away a free dash cam plus more. Check my channel page for details

Get a Hybrid Camry for X.

Comfort really is not worth getting a better car. I like the advice of getting a hybrid or electric car though. Save on gas. But a 4 cylinder is fine too

Yes I agree. Thank you for commenting

Civic DX

Uber comfort would be a waste. What city are you thinking of driving in?

@@TheRideshareHustle San Diego, but when I tried Uberx I got 0 rides in over 3 hours. The normal market seems pretty saturated

@@thesavoyard Yeah I think so. Talk to local drivers

Call Uber I bet they would qualify it.

@@TheRideshareHustle I know I'm late to the party but Uber comfort has been becoming more popular lately I feel. My car can do Comfort and XL rides, and I've found comfort rides are prices very close to XL, just a little less, but much more than X. This is in the bay area.

Facts

Nice! Thank you fro sharing. So Uber is paying you $1.16/mile?

@@TheRideshareHustle yes $1.16/mi, and a $1 EV bonus each ride. Plus they still give me gas incentive which makes little sense, but not complaining.

@@schnealy Not too bad. What kind of income you making each week if you don't mind me asking?

@@TheRideshareHustle Over the past 6 weeks, I am averaging $784.49/week doing roughly 30 hours a week.

@@schnealy Not too bad

Nice. What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

Awesome! What market are you driving in?

That would be a good car for Lyft Lux or Lyft Black if it is a black car

I think you're area may be different. How's you driving record?

@@TheRideshareHustle Clean. Different is not the worst thing I've heard about CA! :) I can cancel the insurance anytime for a fee (another difference in CA insurance.) But I paid all 6 months up front.

Well I just don't like putting all that cash down for a car. Make small down payment and build credit

Can you please be more specific?

Ask your local drivers what they make and then determine if it makes sense for you

Thanks! I did it on online myself. I forget the site

Good info here. Thank you for commenting

I use an 11 year old Prius for part time Uber. Didn't consider a hybrid Avalon.

@@KP-hi1om if you drive a hybrid avalon, you would realize the Prius was self inflicted torture and discomfort.

@@Rbl7132 lol you are probably right! Daughter is starting college in fall. Got four more years of driving Uber. I hope she appreciates my sacrifice.

@@KP-hi1om if you plan to drive uber for 4 years...you should get for sure a 2010 to 2015 toyota highlander hybrid. You will get 26-28 mpg and get those extra-paying XL trips...uber x is HORRIBLE 80% of the ride offers. For example I can do a long trip from the San Diego border to Newport Beach which is about 110 miles and 110 minutes and I'll get $165 for that!

IDK

Why are they going to plummet?

That’s good to know, thank you for sharing. There was good money during the Pandemic, plus no traffic

Idk, do some research

Yeah more research needs to be done if you want to know maintenance costs

Great question, and thank you for asking. Have you been driving for Uber in the UK? You will need to sign up with Uber in the US. Check the link in the description, I give some free trainings and there is also a free dash cam giveaway if you use my link to sign up.

Hey Roberto, thanks for asking! I think I'm going to go with the prius for the reason that the prius is a smaller investment.

What car are you driving?

@@TheRideshareHustle I have a 2016 Nissan Altima nick!

@@robertosongco8967 Oh nice, I bet you do well with that car

Thank you for commenting, this is great info. How much is the electric?

How much is it to charge? Did you also get the extra insurance?

The majority of my rides are XL

Thank you for sharing

Absolutely not. Pick a better direction

100K miles in three years. Thankfully I only paid $6000.00 for the Prius V that had 146K on it. That was the best investment I have ever made, made well of $100,000 with that in three years before the engine head gasket blew.

Car Guru's usually

Yes

Yes

Thanks for commenting. How do you like that vehicle?

@@TheRideshareHustle it's great, even though I ride hard, stop, go merging onto the interstate etc I still get over 550 miles out of a tank and sometimes well over 600 miles. I've done the math and I make about $200 per quarter tank working 36hrs in a week over 4 days. Could easily do $300/400.. I'm averaging 50mpg..

@@slimj82 Wow that's great! Thank you for sharing

Good question. What does it cost?

That’s crazy! Which car are you speaking of?

@@TheRideshareHustle was looking to buy a 3 or 4 years old corolla or Camry but when I look at Carmax or carguru they are more expensive than a new one.

@@MoMo-kt6qy that’s crazy

Thank you fro commenting. I have to agree, this should only be a part time gig for the short term until you find something better.

You can form an LLC but if it's only you not really worth it. If you become a partner with multiple cars and drivers then it makes sense

Thank you for commenting

Can you please elaborate? Thank you for commenting btw

???

Thanks bro!

What about it?

Hi Linda, I just checked in my Lyft app where it shows all the people that signed up with my link. I do not see a Linda. Did you use another name? Please email me. You can get my email from my channel page in the about section

Everyone's situation is different. I drive XL only. Driving X with an XL vehicle is a losing strategy unless you have an electric XL vehicle

Thank you for sharing
