I'm thinking of becoming an Uber driver as an income supplement in my spare time (rig worker)...anyone on here do it? I dont live in a big city (which i guess is where the most rides and money are?) - i live in a village a few miles from Darlington so dont know how much of a market there is for it, and there do seem to be a few costs associated with it such as much higher car insurance, medicals, private hire licences etc. What are your experiences of it, in particular if you dont live in a big city?
Uber driver here. You'll need to get a private hire drivers license from your local authority and get the use of a licensed private hire vehicle. You could license your own car if it fits the requirements of your local authority. As for working with Uber they only operate in larger urban areas, a quick google will show you where. You aren't going to get any work with them out in the sticks. If you get licensed up a local traditional PH company might be a better bet for local work.
For what it's worth Uber a great to work with, and if you don't mind driving into a city that the operate in you could work exactly as you describe. Send me an email if you want any more info.
