Considering working as an Uber driver on the weekends when I'm not busy. Anyone ever done it? Just curious as to what the setup costs are like, what registration is like and how much money you can make. Also any weird and terrifying stories would be cool.

Thanks for the link and tips, sorry but should have mentioned I'm in Australia. From what I know the worst punishment you can receive is a fine, which Uber supposedly pays for. Over here a taxi plate can cost up to half a million dollars, so drivers make very little. When your only overheads are fuel and repairs surely you could do pretty drat well?

Rent-A-Cop posted:Which would explain the legions of filthy rich gypsy cab drivers you see everywhere. Licensed drivers have to pay a ridiculous amount of their take to the cab's owner. As I mentioned earlier a cab plate in Aus costs half a million... So you can imagine the kind of cut cab owners need to take from their drivers to make a profit from a $500,000 investment.
