Sounds like that guy might make more money driving with Uber than having to pay $80/day to play.

- jrockway 12y agoUber does not provide vehicles for free either.
- pbreit 12y agoBut you can use your own vehicle, unlike in the taxi industry.
- wcummings 12y agoNot really a good thing, as they depreciate in value
- tlrobinson 12y agoHence taxi companies charging drivers $80 a day to rent them? $80/day * 20 days per month = $1600 / month, which is like 10x the cost of a lease for, say, a Prius. Meanwhile, Uber drivers can use their own car for any other purpose. Even factoring in gas and insurance it's hard to believe taxi drivers are getting a better deal.
- korzun 12y agoLease a mid-size sedan and paint it yellow. Then buy it out because you will be saving tons of cash over the lease period. Depreciate in value for something like this is dumb. We are not talking about fully loaded S500 MB's here.
- meesterdude 12y agoHe touched on that - about how much it is to get a car and drive it for uber for X years, but i had trouble following what his ultimate point was around that - i think he was inferring it was hard to make money at the end of all that.
