Over the past few years, I’ve shared a lot of information with you all through my articles, podcasts and videos.  But with thousands of articles now published, hundreds of hours of podcasts and videos, there is a lot of information to digest.  So that’s why I’ve created a handy Uber Driver Training Guide for anyone looking to get started with Uber or just brush up on the basics.

The Uber Driver Training Guide

This Uber driver training guide is designed for people new to rideshare driving, or people who may have questions about driving and aren’t sure if driving is right for them.

In the guide, we’ll answer the following questions

• Do drivers actually earn money doing this job?
• How can you get the highest sign-up bonus possible?
• Is it really that flexible?
• What kind of vehicle and driver requirements are there?
• What insurance requirements are there to be a driver?
• What do I need to know for taxes?
• And more!

This guide is geared towards new drivers but you’ll also get my recommendations on the best times to drive to maximize the amount of money you make – working smarter, not harder.

If you would have told me ten years ago that I’d be driving strangers around in my car for money one day, I would have thought you were crazy.  But along with many others, that’s exactly what I started doing in 2013.  And since that first day of driving, Uber’s business model has exploded in popularity: they are now valued at billions of dollars, have millions of drivers on their platform and are in hundreds of cities across the world.

There’s a good chance you’ve heard of Uber from a friend, online or in the media.  But in case you haven’t, Uber is a service that allows everyday people like you and me to use our personal vehicles to transport passengers through a mobile application.  Sounds pretty simple, right?

While it’s not rocket science being an Uber driver, it’s also not as easy as it seems either.  When I first started driving for Uber, there weren’t a lot of experts to guide me through the process, but fortunately for you, things have changed.  I’ve gone through it all, having driven for multiple rideshare companies, interviewed thousands of drivers about their experience and now work full time studying the industry from the perspective of a driver.  In this guide, I’m going to share with you everything I know about driving for Uber so you can get signed up as a driver, start making money and learn how to run a successful business.

One of the nice things about working for rideshare companies like Uber is that they offer lucrative sign-up bonuses for new drivers.  Uber sign-up bonuses can fluctuate wildly by market and time of year, but it’s not unheard of for a brand new driver to be offered $500 just to sign up and do 75 rides within 30 days (in addition to the pay you get for doing the rides).

Being the market leader, Uber has traditionally offered the highest sign-up bonuses in the industry.  This can be a great incentive to get started with Uber.

A lot of new drivers are surprised to find that Uber will hire almost anyone as long as you can pass a background check.  Uber doesn’t discriminate when it comes to age, sex or race and for many job-seekers, that can be a blessing.  Let’s go over all of the Uber driver requirements.

Most drivers are able to sign up and pass Uber’s background check just fine, but not everyone knows about Uber’s vehicle requirements. UberX, UberXL and UberSelect all allow you to use your personal vehicle to drive with Uber.

However, UberBlack, UberSUV and UberLUX all require commercial insurance and a TCP license or livery license.  Typically, these higher levels of service only make sense if you’re looking to be a full-time driver since the associated costs are much higher.
