Being an Uber driver is really exciting. Iearn money drivingmy car and listening to music while others get in on my rideshare. I talk to great people and learn more about Ventura and Los Angeles at the same time. I only started driving for Uber four weeks ago. I have made many runs to restaurants and bars. Driven people to and from their work. I have taken people to many nightclubs and parties. People have had me take them to visit their families, go to doctor's appointments, and many other things. All the while, during the past few weeks of the Christmas and New Year's holidays I have gotten paid to go sightseeing the various neighborhoods and see all the wonderful lights and decorations. I have driven in the heat of the day, the dead of night and the rain. Everytime I go out driving and go online for Uber it's a great adventure!
The best part for me is that I am getting paid to have all this fun. I got started because I was intrigued to find out if I had what it takes to make the 100 rides needed toearn the sign-up bonuswhich was $200 at the time (this fluctuates anywhere from around $50 to $300). Christmas was quickly closing in and I thought I could use the money. One hundred rides seemed like it would take a huge amount of time, energy and effort to attain. Each rideshare paid me fairly. I was learning all the while more and more about my car and my phone. I was also learning more about the riders. The best part is that with focused effort it only took about 5 days worth of concerted effort to get the bonus payout. Uber pays you weekly as it's standard offering but you also have the opportunity to get instant payouts added to a debit card with one or two constraints.
There are many rewards for driving for Uber. The company has set up discount programs that rival that of my regular 9 to 5 job. There are, of course discounts you can earn for buying gasoline and car maintenance. Discounts on phone plans and even opportunities to get deals on phones and deals on leasing cars if you qualify and need a vehicle.
That's all for now. I will post more later. But for now....I gotta roll!
