How much do uber eats drivers make reddit

Depends on where you drive and when you drive, best times for me are around 7am - 12am go home get some sleep and 6pm to 11pm and stay mostly around busy areas.

At 7am I'll stay near Mc Donald's or dunkin donuts coffee is an addiction and people will pay good money to get there fix.

6pm and 11 is dinner time so I hang around spanish resteraunts or Chinese

Accept nothing less than 7$ and nothing over 4 miles unless the payout is above 14$

6$ maybe if the miles are less than 1.0

Stratagize I Do this every day and take Monday and Tuesday off, it's gig work but if you understand your area and treat it like a 7-3 job you can make decent bread

My husband does this, between Uber and Doordash he makes anywhere between 1k and 1.3K per week. So monthly, according to our bank statements -- I will give you a monthly average based on 3 months of earnings -- $4,252.05. Bear in mind he does not always deposit his DoorDash earnings because DoorDash does not break down the cost, so it is sometimes best to keep it thereafter he incurs all his cost then deducts what is a write-off. His highest earnings were $1,426.16, which was this past week. That's 73 trips on Uber and 88 on DoorDash. He works from 5 AM to 1 PM then 4 PM to 10 PM. Sometimes he will work a few hours between 11 PM and 2 AM. There is active time and drive time. Active time is how long you are on the platform, drive time is the sum of trips accumulated. So I will give you the average for both apps this past week.

DoorDash-- $746.42-- 88 deliveries-- Active time 47 Hours-- Drive time 37 hours

Uber-- $679.74-- 73 deliveries-- it just says 44 Hours online--

Gas-- $155.72

Now to put this into perspective-- and I can only accurately do this for Uber because they give fare breakdowns and fees blah blah -- For every let's say $1,250.00 he makes on Uber-- there is roughly $375 (tax-deductible) going to the following-- Uber Service Fee/Other Adjustments $307.55 (IDK what that is or means-- but it does include tax-- so this would be partially deductable), Insurance $7.97, Instant payout fees (depends on how many times you instantly payout) $8.50, other misc charges $2.70, and Food Cost Expenses (what the driver would pay to eat while working) $48.78

Then there are additional earnings on Uber which will balance that $375 out a little-- which is $213.16 (we will just put this aside for taxes).

This could be disastrous if you input all of this into your tax filings wrongly so keeping detailed logs at the end of every day on top of what both platforms may or may not provide is pivotal to your livelihood.

No, he did not work 90 semi hours in a week, and no he did not multi-app as it is very challenging. I do not understand how people can do that unless they are logistic specialists who can calculate precise times up against speed and narrowly gauge pick-up times to the precise minute. In some areas, one platform is more active than others at any given time. If he's dashing and gets an order in one zone but at drop off, he's out of the zone, he will end the dash and start Ubering. It can be a pain to get back into the zone where you started if traffic is horrible so may as well stay where you are. If he's Ubering, his rule is-- if he gets ten minutes out of the way from where he started, he will DoorDash till he is either back in a surge area or out of Dash zone. In the morning he usually does DoorDash, and at peak dinner time he will do Uber. Uber late nights are only good Friday- Sunday. DoorDash is only good late at night Tuesday-Thursday. Mondays are never worth it on either app. Tuesdays during the day are hit or miss. DoorDash shows your pay upfront, it can never be less but it can always be more if the person tips. Uber pay can change because people can change the tip AFTER delivery.. which is nice because people do increase the tips if they are satisfied. Never experienced tip baiting. What is nice about DoorDash is that they will comp you $5 if you wait for 30 minutes or more and or experience any issues like spending 15 minutes to find an apartment where the building is poorly labeled and the customer will not answer the phone or message back. You have to set the standard of acceptance for yourself within the contractor agreement. Uber has a 5 minute that starts when a driver contacts them for delivery instructions, no answer, Uber driver can leave.. while he has never done this, we have seen some pretty messed up stories. His standard is he will actively try for 10 minutes to locate an apartment or gain gate access while making contact with the customer. Let's face it, both parties have come too far to drop an order after 5 minutes. The customer has obviously paid and is expecting food and the driver has obviously taken the time and got paid to drop the food. Little effort goes a long way.

He drives a newer car when he started car maintenance piled on, but once he got it all squared away, it has not been as frequent. But both platforms offer coupons for oil and tire changes. Gas is a killer, but as of now, it is not superseding its worth and that is at $3.89 per gallon. Uber will track your gas cost... DoorDash will not.. so he uses GasBuddy to keep track of what he spends on gas, to get confused with our personal gas transactions. Car insurance is not as bad as we anticipated, but the extra is worth it in any way that you look at it. He started this mid-last year. I have to say this is location-based though. We live in Phoenix, I doubt someone could make this amount in a small area. Now let's discuss the risk and dangers here (not saying everywhere is like this just consider Phoenix). Personally, is this worth it when compared to the what if's? Absolutely not, could not pay me 2K a week to subject myself to what most Police Offers would not even dare to go. The car has almost been stolen-- on more than one occasion. Remember that 10 minutes of actively running through apartment complexes? Well if it takes 60 seconds to steal a catalytic converter here, I would imagine they have perfected car theft. Having to get out of the car late at night to go inside restaurants and the parking lots are dark and empty-- well people try to do things like getting in your trunk, and when you will not let them, they throw Slurpees at your car, kick your car, beat on your car, and it can be jolting when someone is like, "let me in your trunk! I am getting in your trunk! You have to let me in!". Or the people who will lay behind your car because you will not give them money, food, or a ride. Other times it's dark and you are going to an apartment and people start following you or surrounding you when you step out of your car. Nothing is better than driving to pick up or drop off food and you are rerouted because police have a crime scene and here they do not cover up anything, a matter of fact, they put flares around the subject matter. Lastly.. the more you are on the road, the more you increase the likelihood or chance that you will get in an accident, kind of like the more you fly, you get closer to the statistic of a plane crash.

My husband does this, between Uber and Doordash he makes anywhere between 1k and 1.3K per week. So monthly, according to our bank statements -- I will give you a monthly average based on 3 months of earnings -- $4,252.05.
