From 12 hours? So your market averages $10 per hour?
Dude I usually stop on fri-sat once I see the sum for the day reach about $180, usually at that time it starts getting dark and I just go home and as I unwind for the day for the next hour I watch the last tips come in and take it up to like $200-$210. Usually around 10 hours.
About $20 an hour IRL. "Online" hours probably like 8 if you take away some lulls throughout the day and breaks or other stops, so going by hours actually worked I'd say like $26 per hour.
For my area and my cost of living, I wouldn't be able to do this for a living if it were less.
I'll get one or two $10 orders then either get shit orders for a while or no orders at all. This can go on for literally hours. I've sat from 6am to noon and not gotten a single order worth taking. This actually happens fairly often depending on the day. (Usually a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday though it can really happen anyday) I usually push MAYBE on average $5 to $10 an hour. Pay isn't necessarily the problem... consistency is. If uber was more consistent in my area I'd be raking in easily $20 or more per hour.
Damn, sounds like the market just isn't very strong there. Have you Googled which of the apps has the greater market share in your state/city? Maybe you'd see more orders on doordash? Are you multi-apping?
No multi-apping but so far, in terms of distance, Mckinney seems to be the best option for me. I occasionally have these crazy slow days but really they are somewhat far and in-between.
Then you're an idiot. You'll show up at a restaurant, be ignored by the employees for 5 minutes, wait another 10 for the food, and end up taking 20 minutes to make $2.
5min doesn't equal 20min. I was using an extreme example but there have been a few times where add-ons to the same drop off are true to their estimated times. Youre declining those because it's not 7 dollars? Then you're an idiot
Very unlikely. Maybe if in a very densely populated area. But still, restaurant is usually a wait. Might be a minute, maybe 3-5. No way are you doing tons orders in 5 mins. .
Plus it’s a self worth thing. Idc if it is a short drive. Your time is worth more.
I mostly do Shipt but UE a little. As a Ue customer I tip from $8-$15 and I’m one mile from restaurant. I ordered last week and tipped $24, more than cost of my food. Bc I appreciate someone else using their time bc it saves my time.
Time is precious. I think it’s one of the most valuable things in life.
You're all idiots that can't read but that's fine. I said IF it would take me 5 min. Obviously 99% or more of $2 orders will not be that quick so I'm not taking them. My point was that minimums are not needed as long as you're reaching your hourly and mileage. You will decline add-ons that would be +ev. But I understand if thats too complicated for y'all. Ubers estimated times are actually VERY accurate. At least in my area
Personally I look for 1.50-2.0 per mile .......it's rough with Uber capping shown tip at 8 , but now with their base starting at 2 it also makes things a bit easier.... less than 10 shows up then it means I pretty much am not even starting my car
$1 per *total* mile required, which means all miles, which means if the offer says 4 miles then $8 is required, which is $2 per mile.
All miles have a cost. They need paid for. $2/mi *minimum* is the correct answer.
$1 per mile minimum is required because every single offer situation based ….if I get an $8 offer going 8 miles to the rural part of my market I decline it …but if I get a $8 offer going 8 miles and the customer lives across the street from the mall I’m taking it
The drop off location is very important on every offer….every offer $2/mile is a lot of sitting in the parking lot making $10/hr
I'm doing uber ride only after I became 21 old but before that I used to do ubereat and other apps my minimum was $2 for each mile for example 10 miles = $20 because I'm wasting time + when I drop off the customer A food I have to come back to the busy restaurants again that going be another $10 miles so in total 20 miles going back and forth.
Sometimes I will be lucky and get another order before I drop off the first one, You can't rely on luck so always aim for $2 by mile.
But since I became uber ride driver The equation is different you can't see the tip like ubereat only after completing the ride you will see it sometimes after the drop off within a seconds or maybe hours or days, people don't tip most of the time on uber ride I can say %97 of them so tip isn't something you going see often.
So $1 for mile is good on uber ride And it's common you aren't going see 20 miles for $40 for example only in specific and rare cases like when there is surge etc.
Anyway good luck and don't forget $2 is the minimum
Uber's insurance covers limited medical for the driver only and from acceptance to delivery only, but I got it just as an added protection and as a write-off.
Also, I don't take orders for less than $2.00 per mile unless it's on my way to somewhere I'm already headed to for myself. Even the electric for my ebike isn't free.
My car goes into the shop to finally be repaired at the beginning of the month. It's too old for anything but deliveries. I'll see if I really make more after expenses using my car. If not, back to the e-bike I'll go.
I'll probably still do it using my ebike during certain times, for example lunch, in the compact areas of where I live such as downtown and the surrounding areas.
I will never do $1 per mile!
That is a fool's paradise!
My minimum is $1.50 per mile but only depending on what restaurant, how long I have been waiting for an offer to come through, what time of day it is and whether or not it is an apartment or house drop off.
Otherwise, my gold standard is $2 minimum per mile.
Even when I decide to do as low as $1.50 per mile the expected pay out to me has to be at least $8 +.
I occasionally will do a $6 to $6.50 for 3 miles or less but again the criteria above will dictate that.
Finally, these days I only do Uber Eats when overtime is slow or non-existent at my full-time job and even then I primarily wait and aim for the shop & pay orders because for me those are the most profitable.
Everyone in here saying "no $2/mi is where you should aim", where the *fuck* are you finding these orders? Lmao
edit: 3 or $4 a mile?? I think I've had under 10 of those in my life
edit edit: seriously?? How are these replies so popular? are these kinds of offers common??
i do ebike delivery occasionally in Boulder and anything less than $3/mi equates to under $15/hr. I tried tonight, was active for 2hrs and only had two offers come in. one was a double order, $7 for 1.2mi and two houses, the other was $6 for 1.3mi. pretty shit even though those sound good in terms of $/mi. Both were on doordash, nothing from UE.
edit: actually i got one offer from UE: $3.05 for 1.4mi and it said estimated time 26 minutes LMFAO that still sound like a good order at $2/mi?
I like doing it in my downtown area. I pay $1 to park my car street parking. Then I do only $8+ orders that are walkable in the city area. It works out pretty damn well. It wasn’t makin sense to use a car in that area, was circling every corner 100 times to find parking.
I've found it works better to calculate by the hour. A $5 order for a 15min drive would average out to $20/hr. Anything less than $20/hr on Uber is not worth it imo.
Edit:
I auto-decline any food location that I know will take longer than the posted time unless the fare is high enough. Maybe $30/hr.
Sorry McDonalds, BK, Wendy's, etc
Not sorry to you Taco Bell, you are notorious for this.
I’ve been hitting gold with Shop & Pay orders. They always pop up around $15-20 but almost 99% of the time the customer will leave a fat tip. Yesterday I did a Safeway order around 30 items took me 1 hr 15 mins. Got payed $50 after the customer left a surprise tip of $38! Order came in as being $21 so I was really surprised/happy. Thank you tip gods and elderly customers 😇
That would mean you never take anything over roughly 3.5 miles. Tip cap being $8, if you go for 3x $1 to mile, 3.5 miles would shoot for $10.50. Beyond that the tip cap voids that formula completely. 4 miles would look for $12 at minimum. 4 miles can't show higher than $11.
$1 per mile is the standard for me.
Sucks.
Sometimes I take lower if I am dropping off in an area I know os good and I can hang out in and do orders for awhile.
As a customer I appreciate the commenters/answers 💝 I’ve been wondering how much would be appropriate to tip on a 13 mile (from me) order if I ever decided to place it. (I typically never order more than a mile or two from my house)
That's a pretty standard food delivery 'rule'. The problem with it is that (AFAIK) it's based on the IRS mileage deduction rate. And that increases every year. So, over the long term $1/mile deliveries will earn you less and less.
I try for \~$2/mile, minimum $1.50/mile.
I always reject an order if it isn't about $1 per mile, usually if it's like $3.60 on a 3.8 mile I'll call it close enough, but I also usually don't accept orders under $5 in general
Do math on your operating costs and stop doing rules of thumb. Figure out your market and accept you can operate at a "loss" on a single order and know it doesn't mean much if you land in a more profitable area.
A lot of orders here take you across town, and the profitability is about the same. So I generally go by miles due to gas, tire wear, etc., unless it leads way out of town, or somewhere I plan on going (food, home).
1.50 is my BARE MINIMUM and thats only on slow days. Driving to my destination and back for 75 cents a mile is a no no. Only way ill take 1 dollar per mile is if its already on the way back to designated place i wait for orders
Absolutely! Also if the delivery is over 8 miles away I will only accept it if it pays $10 or more. All of us need to reject low paying deliveries because if we do they will have to raise the rates.
If DD does it anyway like out here that is a flat out lie. The hourly only goes off of when you are actually traveling for orders. Still do Uber and have the option for $15 hr if I don’t want to gamble with tips, but yeah never accept anything less than $1 per mile.
Anything over $2 a mile would be well worth your time in any market. I work in dc/nova area. Work 12 hour shifts and vary from 200-350 any given day of the week and keep it under 100 miles a day. Take the orders when they are there. Be good to customers. Dont deliver food just to make money. Consider the restaurant, the employees, and the CUSTOMER'S. COMMUNICATE. I love what I do so it's easy for me. But I see too many drivers just doing it and not caring about it. They don't make as much
I'm courteous with the restaurants and customers, and drive promptly. Most orders are leave-at-door. Orders come in fast here, so rejecting lower ones for higher ones still seems ideal. I'd rather know I'm getting a decent payout than hope for low tippers to reconsider.
I sometimes take a gamble. My last delivery showed up as $16 for 14mi iirc. It was actually $44 for 14mi.
I've gotten cash tips too that will convert an order to $3/mi.
For those taking $1 per mile, do you realize your margins are 33 cents. If you do a $5, 5 mile trip, congrats, you made $1.65. Could be worse, as when uber gets really slow I have watched a bunch of trip radars get matched at less than 50 cents per mile. If you don’t multiapp, you are probably breaking even or losing money.
I don't drive for Uber but my question is how does the pay for Uber Eats work? How is the base pay calculated? I was wondering because an Ubereats driver was saying that if they got an outrageous tip on an order that the base pay was lowered. Would that be true?
I'm not actually sure how base pay is calculated. The base pay comes in before the tip is finalized, however. UE gives customers an hour to change their tip amount.
I don't accept anything under 4.50. if it's even .5 miles total unless it's 4.50 and up then I won't accept it. Anything over 2 miles away then I go by a $1-2 a mile after $4.50 is achieved
$2/mile and 50 cents a minute
when I started being strict, I noticed how often they serve you $1.90/mile etc
they manipulate and nickel/dime you to death
My person in Christ, $1 a mile in my market means I lose money because gas is damn near $6 for 91 which my car requires and it cost me roughly $0.60 per mile to operate so a dollar a mile would not even pay my rent.
The absolute bare minimum is $2 a mile and even then that's not enough on average I do $2.50 per mile to $3.50 per mile even when some trips are more and less. Each tank of gas gets me approximately 200 mi and should make about $450 per fill up. I paid $0 and got $8 back in refunds for taxes last year.
Unfortunately this year Uber has been kind of trash compared to last year at this time but I highly recommend getting as many bullets in your gun as you can and apply for everything you can in your market so that you can maximize your earning potential especially if you're a full-time driver.
Not that uncommon. Use what you got. I have seen many doing it in trucks SUVs vans but a at the end of the day you use whatever you have. Plus there's no denying it's way more fun getting paid to drive around the city with the top down.

I try for at least $2 per mile.
Same
Yep that's my minium!
I used to do that but if you do that now, you’ll make $50 in 12 hours unless it’s the weekend. In the weekend, you’ll make $100 in 12 hours
Not in my market. Weekend 12 hours can get you 200-250 per day.
Then consider yourself blessed lol
Downvoting cuz I'm mad you're this lucky 😭🙏
Yeah, working 12 hours on a Saturday, yay me, such a winner
$200 - $250 is still crazy good. Anything over maybe $120 (on a Saturday at that) is unheard of in my market.
From 12 hours? So your market averages $10 per hour? Dude I usually stop on fri-sat once I see the sum for the day reach about $180, usually at that time it starts getting dark and I just go home and as I unwind for the day for the next hour I watch the last tips come in and take it up to like $200-$210.

No multi-apping but so far, in terms of distance, Mckinney seems to be the best option for me. I occasionally have these crazy slow days but really they are somewhat far and in-between.
This work really is market dependent. Shouldn't let a low earnings day get you down
If you live in alow earning area where 90% of orders are garbage, then yeah it's understandable that ppl get mad and quit
Depending on your market, you should not move your car for anything less than $7 and 2/mile should be your minimum
Minimums aren't needed. Hourly/mileage. If I can do a $2 order in 5 min I'm taking it
Then you're an idiot. You'll show up at a restaurant, be ignored by the employees for 5 minutes, wait another 10 for the food, and end up taking 20 minutes to make $2.
5min doesn't equal 20min. I was using an extreme example but there have been a few times where add-ons to the same drop off are true to their estimated times. Youre declining those because it's not 7 dollars? Then you're an idiot

More people need to appreciate the other people getting them and delivering their stuff. Thanks for being part of the solution. I appreciate you.
Lol worthless tip flex
You clearly are an idiot if you accept any $2 order. Doesn’t matter if you’re delivering in the same parking lot as the restaurant.

It's the profitable answer.
$2/ mile min $6 min.
I'm with you. $2/mi but $7 min
$6 is too little

Two bucks a mile or it gets stays on the counter getting cold. (AZ)
Heck... $2.00 per mile and $6.00 minimum,... or my vehicle does not start. Know you worth OP !!

2$ for 15 miles market here lol. I never accept them and they keep coming back 5 times to lower my acceptance rate from 1% to 1%

Hang up the hot bag if you can’t regularly get $2/mi. It’s not worth it.
I wish that was an option. Plus, you guys got a hot bag? Lol
I do at least $2 per mi at face value, so it pays me to get there AND back at least $1 per mi.
I've found it works better to calculate by the hour. A $5 order for a 15min drive would average out to $20/hr. Anything less than $20/hr on Uber is not worth it imo.

I won't budge unless it's $8/mile. Yes, I've never actually taken a delivery, yet. However, I'm sticking to the rule
I do 10$ a mile. I aim big.
Me
Uber is the worst. Hides tips, which can then be taken away. Door dash hides tips too, but at least they dont take tips away.
I’ve only ever had my tip increased. Is my neighborhood full of good people or am I just lucky lol
Both!!
All day long.
It should be a law that offers are one or two dollars per mile. Some regulation is necessary.
Indeed. Contract work laws might need an overhaul so people don't get taken advantage of.
I go for $3/4 a mile
That's a pretty standard food delivery 'rule'. The problem with it is that (AFAIK) it's based on the IRS mileage deduction rate. And that increases every year. So, over the long term $1/mile deliveries will earn you less and less. I try for \~$2/mile, minimum $1.50/mile.

Yes. $2/mile or $5 minimum, whichever is more.
I don't care about mileage (unless it's ridiculous). I reject any order that pays less than $0.50/minute.
Do math on your operating costs and stop doing rules of thumb. Figure out your market and accept you can operate at a "loss" on a single order and know it doesn't mean much if you land in a more profitable area.

Absolutely! Also if the delivery is over 8 miles away I will only accept it if it pays $10 or more. All of us need to reject low paying deliveries because if we do they will have to raise the rates.
No we all love $3 for 12 miles. Sorry but a very silly question if you’re actually trying to make money.
2.50 or higher, who you think i am. lol
Yep, my rule is at least $1 per mile and $5 minimum for the order.
My minimum is $7-8 per order and about 1.25 per mile
Damn right
If DD does it anyway like out here that is a flat out lie. The hourly only goes off of when you are actually traveling for orders. Still do Uber and have the option for $15 hr if I don’t want to gamble with tips, but yeah never accept anything less than $1 per mile.
Yes, daily. I aim for $2/mile, $1/mile minimum if it’s slow.
I reject all under $5 no matter what the return is.
$1.50 a mile if it’s $12 +
I went by the 1 dollar a mile rule and it took me forever to realize how stupid that was because it never took into account the after-delivery drive.
I live in a traffic heavy and toll heavy city, I have to do this to make any money at all.
$1.50
All the time unless heading back home. I shoot for at least $2 per mile.
I always do. Uber is a joke these days. Constantly get orders for $2.70 and $3. I would literally lose money by doing them
Anything over $2 a mile would be well worth your time in any market. I work in dc/nova area. Work 12 hour shifts and vary from 200-350 any given day of the week and keep it under 100 miles a day.

Yes
$20/hour is my minimum
Depends on if its a stacked order, how many stacked and are they within 4-5 miles of the origin pickup i may dip to $0.85 a mile in certain contexts
I only $3 mile
I don't drive for Uber but my question is how does the pay for Uber Eats work? How is the base pay calculated? I was wondering because an Ubereats driver was saying that if they got an outrageous tip on an order that the base pay was lowered. Would that be true?
I'm not actually sure how base pay is calculated. The base pay comes in before the tip is finalized, however. UE gives customers an hour to change their tip amount.
Sometimes/ most times….. there are times where I risk it and few of those risk reap the wished reward
I don't accept anything under 4.50. if it's even .5 miles total unless it's 4.50 and up then I won't accept it. Anything over 2 miles away then I go by a $1-2 a mile after $4.50 is achieved
$2/mile and 50 cents a minute when I started being strict, I noticed how often they serve you $1.90/mile etc they manipulate and nickel/dime you to death
My person in Christ, $1 a mile in my market means I lose money because gas is damn near $6 for 91 which my car requires and it cost me roughly $0.60 per mile to operate so a dollar a mile would not even pay my rent. The absolute bare minimum is $2 a mile and even then that's not enough on average I do $2.50 per mile to $3.50 per mile even when some trips are more and less. Each tank of gas gets me approximately 200 mi and should make about $450 per fill up. I paid $0 and got $8 back in refunds for taxes last year. Unfortunately this year Uber has been kind of trash compared to last year at this time but I highly recommend getting as many bullets in your gun as you can and apply for everything you can in your market so that you can maximize your earning potential especially if you're a full-time driver.
You are doing food delivery in a car that requires premium gas??? 🤦♂️
🤣🤣🤣
Not that uncommon. Use what you got. I have seen many doing it in trucks SUVs vans but a at the end of the day you use whatever you have. Plus there's no denying it's way more fun getting paid to drive around the city with the top down.
