$300 per day sounds like a lot of money until you factor insurance costs, taxes, vehicle care, and so on. I'd be willing to bet (at least here in Atlanta) that the average full time Uber/Lyft driver brings home around $25-30k/year after taxes and expenses. Not too shabby for driving around all day, but it's definitely not for everyone. Even so, I've thought about driving for Lyft in my off hours; my insurance company is rideshare-friendly and I could probably pull in a few hundred dollars every month in "fun money" and have fun doing it. Then again, I'm not willing to give up spending that time on personal pursuits and valuable family time.
