I only uber on special occasions--concerts, sporting events, anniversaries, etc--ie events wifey and I are planning on getting wasted at

So yeah, avoiding obnoxious drunks would be part of it, but I think the G gets kinda crappy gas mileage, especially in city driving where the majority of your fares would be. I doubt the juice is worth the squeeze

Not worth it in my opinion. Tried it a year ago for one day and these were my results.

As you can see, I drove around for over an hour and received 3 pickup requests. All of them were about a mile in distance earning me the minimum payout amount of $2.62. In total I earned $7.86. My car used up $5.15 worth of fuel netting me a grand total of $2.71 for an hour's worth of work.

Never again.

^ jan 11 2017 was a wednesday. You didn't make much because it was 8pm wednesday night. That's not really a popping section of LA either considering it was 8pm on a wednesday. Of course you're only going to pick up local people going short distances.

You need to go to places like hollywood and work thursday-weekends during peak hours if you want to make money.

Or use it in tandem with where you're going. If you're headed from the suburbs to LA (or back), turn on your uber and see if you can catch someone going the same way.
