What Would Happen to Uber & Lyft if the Economy Went Downhill?

A lot has happened since Uber and Lyft were founded, but one thing that has remained constant: the economy has been doing well during most of their growth phase. Every traditional metric –  GDP, stock market and unemployment rates – has shifted healthily since both companies launched their ridesharing services in 2013 and 2014.

But with political tensions and looming international tariffs, it feels like everybody is bracing for an economic downturn. Uber and Lyft’s teams especially must be focused on this, with their IPOs coming soon in 2019. And while I’ll refer primarily to Uber from here on out (since they’re the top dog in the rideshare world) a lot of the same dynamics should also apply to Lyft. They tend to follow in Uber’s footsteps anyways.

Uber New Driver Bonus

One of the nice things about working for rideshare companies like Uber is that they typically offer a very good driver sign on guarantee.  Uber sign-up guarantees/bonuses can fluctuate wildly by market and time of year, but it’s not unheard of for a brand new driver to be offered a $500 guarantee just to sign up and do 50 rides within 30 days (in addition to the pay you get for doing the rides).  In the past, Uber’s new driver sign up bonus would be $500 but these days they offer a guarantee, which isn’t as lucrative but still not a bad deal.

If you’re ready to sign up with Uber and get your bonus, we’ve created the ultimate guide to answer all of your Uber sign on guarantee questions, plus how much drivers make with Uber, how to get started driving with Uber, Uber driver requirements and more.

First, you’ll need to know a few things about driving for Uber, including what the Uber driver requirements and Uber vehicle requirements are in 2019.

Uber Rewards: What it Means to You

In November, Uber invited some of its customers to use a new feature, Uber Rewards. The program is now official and will be offered to more passengers in the coming year. What is it? What are the benefits? And how will it affect passengers and drivers? In today’s post, RSG contributor Gabe Ets-Hokin wades into Uber’s legalese to get the answers.

As rideshare giants Uber and Lyft approach looming IPO deadlines, they’re looking for cost-effective ways to court passenger (and driver) loyalty to boost share value. Uber’s latest effort, launched last November, is called Uber Rewards, aimed at Uber’s most-valued passengers. Here’s what it is, what it does, and what it could mean for passengers and drivers alike.

Uber IPO 2019 – 4 Ways Uber is Preparing for The Big Day

Join us for our December YouTube live on Tuesday December 11 at 4pm PT!  You can subscribe to our Youtube channel here and be sure to turn on notifications (instructions here) so you know when we go live.

Although Uber hasn’t announced a date for its IPO, it’s widely expected to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) in 2019. How will Uber’s IPO go and how will it affect drivers? It depends on a variety of factors, which senior RSG contributor John Ince outlines for us below.

Uber hasn’t specified a date for its 2019 IPO, but a keen sense of anticipation is growing both within the investment community and the ridesharing industry for what is shaping up as an epic event. Some have speculated that Uber’s IPO may be the biggest in history and the Wall Street Journal has thrown out a number of $120B as a likely starting place for a company evaluation in an IPO.

Uber isn’t resting on its laurels while it’s in “build up to IPO mode” right now, either. Let’s take a look of what Uber is doing to prepare itself for this major event. I see four key areas of attention for Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and his crew.
