GetUpside Review

Savings and cash-back is something I’m always on the lookout for, especially if I don’t have to do anything different from what I usually do on a day to day basis. Today I’m going to review GetUpside, an app that helps me do just that.

GetUpside is an app that helps you save up to 25¢/gal of gas, 35% at restaurants, and 15% at grocery stores near you. I’ll discuss the app’s features, how it can save you money, and what I like and dislike about this app.

Are Driver Signs Tacky or Do They Educate Pax?

Recently, we asked drivers on Facebook what they thought of driver signs (like the one below). Reactions were mixed: some find signs for passengers helpful, whereas others think they’re tacky. Do driver signs actually work, or are they mostly ignored by passengers? Are they tacky? RSG contributor Paula Gibbins tackles the driver signs debate below.

There are two sides to the ‘do driver signs actually work?’ argument, obviously. One is for the signs, as they might incentivize more tips from your passengers if they notice all of the extra steps you’re taking to make them happy and because it may just provide helpful info to your passenger. The other is a big “NO” and that is typically from the people who do not provide those extras because they are not paid to do so by Uber or Lyft, so why bother?

The Best Ways to Boost Your Rideshare Driver Earnings

It happens to all rideshare drivers sooner or later: everything is going well, you’re staying busy, and then BOOM! No requests. Whether it lasts half an hour or longer depends on where you live, but during times like this, there are still ways to make money while on the road. RSG contributor Paula Gibbins shares the best ways to boost your rideshare driver earnings below.

The whole point of driving for Uber or Lyft or any other service is to make money. And the best way to make money is to be sure to drive when demand is high and you’re able to stay busy. I’ve written before about how you can maximize your earnings while driving part time, but what if you’re a full time driver or a driver who wants to have a more flexible schedule (no 9 to 5)?

This is where knowing a few good tips and tricks come in, from both part time and full time drivers. And in addition to the tips I’ll outline below on how to maximize your time on the road, you may also want to consider signing up for another rideshare company, like HopSkipDrive. As you’ll see, they actually pay more than Uber and Lyft and their busy times line up well with when Uber and Lyft are slow. So you can work for both and make more!
