There are now a record number of drivers on the road in Brisbane! The pace of drivers is only beaten by the amount of NEW RIDERS in Brisbane each week! The Riders keep coming, and coming back!

WE ARE EXPECTING DRIVER EARNINGS TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE COMING MONTHS!

01

Each summer, the demand for Uber rides increases hugely. This translates to brilliant earnings for drivers.

This weekend kicks off the corporate silly season with many events and functions put on by big companies!!

To be ready, ensure you have:

– Bottles of water (riders expect this)

Uber Air Fresheners (drop by a session to pick one up!)


REFERRALS HAVE BIG WORTH AND TAKE LITTLE WORK!


Take ten minutes today and set up your friends in the Driver Referral. We sent around the new Driver Referral incentive last week which means $200 in your pocket and a chance to take the big $2,500 prize!

We have put together two ways for you to refer! Check out REFERRAL UPDATE! and INVITE CODES to earn that extra cash.


DRIVER EARNINGS


We are seeing a large increase in the amount of drivers earning $2,000+ per week! Theses drivers typically drive full time on Uber and get BRILLIANT ratings!

TIP: Explore different times of the week. For example:

Mornings – 6am – 10am is a VERY busy time on the platform and has great earnings!

Sundays – all day Sunday is a brilliant time to drive!


RIDER FEEDBACK


We keep a close eye on Rider feedback to ensure Uber maintains the highest level of service to keep people coming back and making Uber a way of life!

Remember, it is like building your own business, each extra touch counts. Happy Riders will ride Uber again and again, putting more money in your pocket.

Riders have asked us to help make these improvements:

  • Riders LOVE being offered water and mints
  • It’s getting hot outside. Ensure you keep the vehicle at a comfortable cool level so a Rider is refreshed as soon as they step in.
  • With the hot heat and beating sun, ensure you stay refreshed and your vehicle free of any strong odours. Odours are a major complaint from Riders so be sure to keep it fresh. We have the new Uber Air Fresheners free for drivers to help you out.
