The word "offer" is used misleadingly here. Its a guarantee that if you work for 60 hours a week you will earn at least $10,000 a month.

  Thanks. We changed the title to the first sentence of the article.

  You also need a taxi or limmo license. Not sure how much that costs but it must not be cheap.

    Also insurance - I was chatting with a UberX driver in NYC a few weeks ago and apparently his insurance is $7K a year. Not chump change by any means.

      On the otherhand, when I was shopping for auto insurance I asked my Lyft driver what he pays and he says he has the state minimum and pays ~100$ / month.

        Lyft covers insurance for their drivers while the fare is on. The driver's personal insurance is normal for a personal vehicle doing personal work. Now, if someone tries to go after that private insurance from an accident during a fare, that private insurance company will deny the claim and they may drop the person from the policy/raise rates if the person lied about using the vehicle for business purposes. I'm not sure they'd get that rate if they answered "Yes" to business purposes for the vehicle.
