Remember, when you look at these figures for weekly earnings, that they will vary based on how many hours a driver works in a week. With some drivers being more full time than others, we won’t see the maximum amount of earnings possible. The more you work, as you know, the more you’ll earn.

Like the weekly figures, monthly earnings numbers don’t necessarily reflect what a full-time driver would make delivering for Uber Eats. You will make more money, obviously, when you put in more hours.

Many Uber drivers judge their performance in the new year based on milestones. How much do they earn in the first week of January? How much do they earn in the first month? What is their hourly rate? How much do they make per trip? 

They also look for new answers. Every savvy gig driver wants to know how to make more money on Uber. The first thing you can do is download the Gridwise app. We’ll discuss it later, but you should do it now. You can also check out a recent Gridwise blog post, How Much Do Uber Drivers Make in 2023? 

This piece provides you with the most up-to-date figures on how much does Uber pay. 

[elementor-template id="20891"]

How much does Uber pay?

We have discussed previously that in 2023 Uber drivers experienced a decrease in pay overall. This graph backs it up. There are many reasons this decrease happened, but there are two that stand out.

BusinessInsider.com reported that the total number of Uber drivers ballooned to more than 5 million in 2022, an increase of 31%. This increase in drivers translates into two things:

• a smaller piece of the pie. More drivers are competing for the same passengers. 
• a decrease in average earnings. Newer Uber drivers earn less owing to the time it takes to learn the strategies and techniques used by more experienced drivers. 

As a result, by Q3 2023 Uber driver earnings dropped more than $100 per week from Q1 2022. Keep in mind that these numbers represent a combination of the earnings of part-time and full-time drivers. 

How to make more money on Uber 

But despite this earnings decrease, some Uber drivers make much more. How do they make more money on Uber? They’ve developed strategies and tactics that allow them to find the most profitable rides. They’ve also learned the secrets to 5-star service that results in generous tips. 

What are these tactics? Let’s look at some of the most popular and profitable secrets for how to make more money on Uber.

Always have a passenger

An empty car makes no money. You should always plan to have a passenger in the back seat. Take the example of many full-time Uber drivers who go into the city on weekdays and work the profitable morning rush hour. They get up early with the goal of catching an airport ride that pays their way into the metro area. From there, a few runs to area hotels, and then another airport pickup takes them into the downtown area. Repeating this routine every morning will help you reach the $100 mark on your Uber app as early as possible. Use the Gridwise When to Drive feature to increase your chances of always having a passenger

Learn how to work the surges

When passenger demand exceeds the number of Uber drivers available, Uber implements surge pricing. Uber driver fees increase by a multiplier. Surges are represented on your Uber app by a heat overlay, starting with orange and getting darker as the demand intensifies. The greater the demand, the darker the cloud and the greater the multiplier. If you’ve been an Uber driver for any length of time, you learn to predict when and where the surges will happen. Popular surge times are morning and evening rush hours, when the bars close at night, and special events. You can often double your fare during a surge, and sometimes more. 

Don’t chase surges

Surges are transitory. As soon as inexperienced Uber drivers see the orange and red clouds gathering on the app screen, they head for that area. It takes only a few minutes for the passenger–driver imbalance to correct itself, and the surge, and the price increases that came with it, disappear. 

A better tactic is to note where and when you see surges and position yourself to take advantage of them when they happen. Ideally, when you turn on your app, you want to be right in the middle of a red cloud. Read this Gridwise article about chasing surges. It’s dated, and some of the things have changed, but the overall philosophy remains sound. 

Drive during the busy hours 

Busy times vary, depending on the region, but ride demand is often the greatest during morning and evening rush hours, Friday and Saturday evenings, and during events. If your region has a theater and performing arts district, know when performances are letting out. Those weekend matinee shows can be ride generators. The same goes for sporting events and concerts. Surges are most likely to happen during these busy periods. 

The Gridwise app includes two invaluable features, Where to Drive and When to Drive, which can give you directions to spots where there are plenty of rides. You can see these features when you download the Gridwise app now for free. 

Look at the numbers

More than 500,000 gig drivers have downloaded the Gridwise app. In addition to the invaluable services featured on the app, Gridwise aggregates and anonymizes the numbers to show what drivers are earning by the hour, by the trip, by the week, and by the month. Some drivers go as far as downloading the files into an Excel spreadsheet for better analysis. They can see how many hours they worked and how many miles they drove. By comparing your numbers to those on Gridwise, you can see when you’re ahead of the curve. 

Be choosy about the rides you take

There is a strategy among Uber drivers in which they concentrate on quality rides over quantity. This is much easier now that Uber has gone to up-front fares, showing drivers how much they will earn on a specific ride and their destination. Armed with that knowledge, drivers often pass on a ride when the destination takes them someplace where, when they drop off their passenger, they know from previous experience they will have to drive some distance before they get another ride. This strategy has also become more popular now that Uber (and Lyft as well) have relaxed their ride acceptance requirements.  

Driver education opportunities 

The internet is full of opportunities for Uber drivers to learn about how to make more money. The Gridwise blog is a source of driver tricks and tactics, gleaned from the top Uber drivers. There is lots of information out there. Pick the best ideas, the ones most applicable to your market and driving style, and start earning more money. 

Try Uber Eats 

One of the nice things about being an Uber driver is that you automatically qualify as a driver for Uber Eats. There are time slots when Uber Eats might earn more than driving Uber rideshare. It’s worth a try to see if your market is one of those areas. Discover the interesting possibilities in this recent Gridwise blog post, How to Make $1000 a Week with Uber Eats. 

Learn to multi-app

There are many drivers that work more than one platform at a time, a practice referred to as multi-apping. This allows you to get rides from Uber and Lyft. Many drivers also venture into food delivery. Check out a recent Gridwise blog post, The Art of Multi-apping: How-Tos and Strategies for Gig Drivers.

Investigate the other gig platforms

Your goal is to maximize your time behind the wheel. It doesn’t make sense to have the Uber platform open when you could make more money working on Amazon Flex (How to Make $1,000 a Week with Amazon Flex) or Roadie (The Ultimate Guide to Being a Roadie Driver). 

Pay attention to mileage and expenses

The miles you put on your car are the single biggest source of tax write-off. The standard mileage deduction allowed by the IRS (as of 2023) is 65.5 cents per mile. If you put 30,000 miles a year on your car as a full-time Uber driver (not an unrealistic number), that translates to a tax deduction of $19,650! Any supplies you buy—water, gum, a flashlight—are tax deductible, too. The Gridwise app includes the best mileage tracker for Uber drivers and also an expense tracker. These tools will save you lots of money and lots of time when you do your taxes. 

Work those tips 

Tips as an Uber driver can be as much as 11% to 14% of your income, according to Gridwise Analytics, so it’s always good practice to do the things that compel your passengers to give a little extra. Here is a quick list of the things drivers can do to earn tips.

• Keep your car clean, inside and out. Passengers may not comment on your shiny car, but they will take note of those empty water bottles rolling around the floorboard. 
• Dress nicely. It shows you respect your passengers.
• Open and close car doors for your passengers whenever possible. 
• Have a great selection of music. Jazz and big band are always appreciated, even by the young kids. 
• Carry charging cords for both iPhone and Android phones. Carry a few extra, too, as they have a habit of growing legs and walking off.
• Have a supply of gum and breath mints on hand.
• Have bottles of water available. 
• Although you will seldom get a request, when someone needs a toothpick, they are forever grateful. The ones individually wrapped in cellophane are the best. 
• If you know the area where you’re driving, have the names of a couple of good restaurants at the ready.  
• Be a good conversationalist. HINT: People like it when someone listens to them. 
• If it’s after sunset and you’re a male driver, let women passengers know that you’ll watch them get safely inside. This almost always gets a tip. 

There’s a lot more you can do to earn tips, but most of it comes down to common sense and being a nice person. For more detail on the suggestions mentioned here, read this recent Gridwise blog post, 12 Ways Rideshare Drivers Can Earn More Tips.

The truth is, you're not alone in this quest for efficiency and increased earnings. Whether you're a seasoned delivery pro or new to the scene, there's always that lingering question: "Am I making the most out of my time on the road?"

[elementor-template id="20891"]

What is it like to work for Uber Eats?

Working for Uber Eats can be a no-brainer for many gig drivers. First of all, there are fewer hoops to jump through when starting. If you qualify as an Uber rideshare driver, you automatically qualify as an Uber Eats driver. You might also discover that Uber Eats is your market's dominant food delivery service (more about that later).

Gridwise also recently published a blog post, 2023 Uber Eats Earnings Report. It contains facts, and information that every Uber Eats driver needs to know.

Understand the breakdown of Uber Eats driver base pay

According to the Uber website, Uber Eats driver base pay depends on several factors. 

1. Base amount

Uber Eats calculates the base amount using estimated delivery time, distance, and multiple drop-offs if the trip requires them. There are also fluctuations in price according to supply and demand in any given area. 

2. Trip supplement

A trip supplement might be added to the base amount if there is a great deal of traffic or unusually long wait times expected at the restaurant. Uber Eats also adds supplements when there is a limited availability of drivers in an area. 

3. Promotions

These come in the form of surges and Uber Quest promotions. Uber Quest is a bonus for completing a designated number of rides within a specified time frame. An example might be a $20 bonus for eight deliveries in a five-hour period. 

Understanding the changing food delivery market

Remember when we mentioned earlier that we would discuss one of the reasons for the decline in hourly pay for Uber Eats drivers? We are now having that discussion. 

Ghost kitchens started popping up in major markets before the pandemic. Ghost kitchens are food preparation kitchens that cater to the delivery-only market. They have no area for dining. They exist in several forms, including kitchens set up in industrial parks or clusters of kitchens (as many as 20 to 30 or even more, conducting business in modified warehouses or other buildings). 

Some traditional restaurants prepare ghost kitchen brands in their kitchens, with the second brand being for delivery only. Applebee’s and Chuck E. Cheese are just a few of the brands that have been doing this. 

You will also hear ghost kitchens called virtual kitchens or dark kitchens. 

Existing prior to the pandemic, these kitchens became part of the growing surge in delivery-only orders that blossomed during lockdowns. Drivers in markets with a strong ghost kitchen presence did quite well. Gridwise has mentioned them several times as part of the evolving food scene. 

Most recently though, the ghost kitchen market has shown signs of problems, as chronicled in TheTakeout.com. Travis Kalanick, the cofounder of Uber who has since left the rideshare leader, went on to found City Storage Systems (CSS). This past November, Kalanick acknowledged that they were laying off employees. According to an article in Friday Takeaway, problems included high customer churn, software issues, and customers generally preferring a brick-and-mortar restaurant, even for takeout. 

An article on CNN.com stated:

Consumers prefer ordering from brick-and-mortar restaurants, the National Restaurant Association found in a survey this year, with 70% of diners saying it’s important for their food to come from a publicly accessible, physical location.

Not all restaurant leaders and industry observers believe the ghost kitchen sector will collapse. This decline might be little more than an adjustment in an oversaturated market. If you're an Uber Eats driver who relies on ghost kitchens for business, you might see a downturn. Only time will tell. 

How to make more money on Uber Eats

There is still a market for Uber Eats drivers, but the ones who will prosper are those who have developed a strategy or a set of guidelines that help them realize maximum earnings. We’ve included ten such strategies to help you boost your earnings. 

1. Know when to drive Uber delivery

Food delivery has its hours. Orders cluster around the lunch hour from 11:30 am to about 2:00 pm and from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Weekends can be busier, especially around sporting events. Uber Eats drivers will receive fewer orders during off hours. 

2. Know when to multi-app

One solution is to multi-app, wherein you work simultaneously with two or more apps. You can either deliver on several food delivery platforms or work as a rideshare driver for Uber or Lyft. Check out a Gridwise blog post that discusses the intricacies of multi-apping, The Art of Multi-apping: How-Tos and Strategies for Gig Drivers. 

3. Know if you're in an Uber Eats market

Uber Eats has a solid hold on the US’s #2 spot in the food delivery market, with a 24% market share. But Uber Eats is dwarfed by DoorDash, which has a 65% market share, according to Bloomberg’s Second Measure. Still, the food delivery market is competitive, and the #1 spot varies from city to city. According to a 2021 report by McKinsey & Company, Ordering in: The Rapid Evolution of Food Delivery, Uber Eats dominates with a greater than 50% market share in Houston, San Jose, San Antonio, and Philadelphia. It’s worth noting that this report is two years old. Things might have changed since then in the ever-shifting world of food delivery. 

4. Know when to pass on an order on your Uber Eats driver app

The most successful Uber Eats drivers look for orders that pay a base fee minimum of a dollar a mile. Some even push it to two dollars a mile. That’s what they need to make their target earnings. Many drivers also look at the destination. It might appear like a good order, but it might not be worth it if the customer's destination takes you away from the action. 

5. Watch the promotions page on your Uber Eats driver app

Have you been offered an Uber Quest, or a bonus for finishing a set amount of Uber Eats deliveries within a specified time? These appear on the Promotions page of your Uber Eats driver app. Many drivers look for these as a way to earn extra money. Uber Quests also come by email or SMS. 

6. Drive during surges

You know your market area and when demand surpasses the supply of drivers. Position yourself to take advantage of this. Surges can boost your earnings. They are transitory, though. You don’t want to go chasing them. Position yourself where you know, from experience, that a surge will likely appear. That’s the best way. Check out the When to Drive and Where to Drive features on the Gridwise app for information on where a surge might occur.

[elementor-template id="20949"]

7. Have an extra thermal bag or two

Sometimes Uber Eats will double up on orders for you, or you decide to push the multi-apping envelope and simultaneously deliver for two different platforms. Either way, if you only have one thermal bag, at least one order is left out in the cold (yes, that was a joke. Har!). Carry one or two extra. 

8. Know your restaurants

Some restaurants need to be better managed for Uber delivery takeout. Orders are chronically late, must be corrected, or the food is cold. Whatever the case, it’s a waste of your time and energy. You’re better off going to restaurants where they know and like you. 

9. Consider a bicycle or scooter instead of a car

In densely populated inner city areas, some drivers are much more successful on two wheels, whether by bicycle or scooter. You instantly rid yourself of most traffic and parking problems. Uber delivery has a dedicated page for bicycle deliveries. You can often accomplish more deliveries per hour with a bike or scooter, driving up your hourly earnings. Check out the Gridwise blog post, The Ultimate Guide to Gigs You Can Do on a Bicycle or Scooter. 

10. Work those tips

Tips can make up half your pay as an Uber Eats driver, as discussed in a previous Gridwise post, How to Make $1,000 a Week with Uber Eats. Prompt deliveries, a courteous demeanor, a winning smile, and extra packets of condiments make all the difference in tips. 

Take advantage of everything you can from the Gridwise app

The Gridwise app can instantly tell you your earnings for each platform you drive 

Gridwise is the best companion app for Uber Eats drivers. There are valuable tools such as the Gridwise Mileage Tracker and the Gridwise Expense Tracker. These two features alone can save you thousands at tax time with more accurate deductions. The Gridwise Earnings Tracker tracks your earnings from all the platforms you drive and breaks down your income, providing a clearer picture of where your best earnings originate.

Delivery drivers are already inundated with options, but new platforms keep popping up with big promises. 

Roadie and Curri are two newcomers to package delivery that have gained momentum in recent years. While more options for drivers is generally a good thing, it can also lead to a big question: What is the best delivery option for drivers? 

This article focuses on the Roadie delivery service. We’ll help you understand what it is, how it works, how much drivers can earn, its advantages and disadvantages, and whether it’s worth your time.

[elementor-template id="20891"]

What is Roadie?

Roadie describes itself as a crowdsourced “on-the-way” delivery platform that matches drivers with delivery gigs on routes they are already traveling or plan to travel. That sounds great on paper (or rather, on a screen), but how does it work in practice?

The Roadie app connects drivers with senders to make deliveries happen. Senders create delivery gigs that are sent as alerts to nearby Roadie app drivers. Drivers can look at the gigs and submit offers for those they find worthwhile, ideally those that align with their routes and schedule. 

This is different from other package delivery services that require drivers to book a slot in advance, pick up shipments, and deliver as directed without any control over routes.

Roadie is primarily used for same-day, on-demand, or scheduled local deliveries. It is used by businesses as well as private individuals to send items. Brands such as Home Depot, Coca-Cola, AT&T, Verizon, Walmart, Best Buy, Delta Air Lines, Tractor Supply Co., and other recognizable names use Roadie to varying degrees for their first-mile and last-mile deliveries.

Launched in 2014, Roadie has seen growth in recent years, particularly during the pandemic. The company claims to have over 200,000 registered drivers and coverage in more than 20,000+ zip codes nationwide, reaching 90 percent of US households. During the last quarter of 2021, Roadie was acquired by UPS.

What are the requirements to be a Roadie driver?

Now that you know how the Roadie app works, let’s look at the requirements and process to become a driver on Roadie. Anyone can sign-up to become a verified Roadie driver as long as you:

1. Have a vehicle with valid auto insurance;
2. Are at least 18 years old;
3. Have a Social Security number;
4. Have a valid US driver’s license.

If you meet these criteria, you can fill out an online application on Roadie’s website or mobile app to become a Roadie driver. 

Since Roadie is a parcel delivery service, it has various driver certifications to match drivers and their vehicles with the appropriate gigs. Available Roadie certifications include Trusted Driver, Cargo Trailer, Extra Equipped, and TSA Certification. 

Each of these certifications has separate eligibility requirements based on the number of completed deliveries, vehicle type and size, extra equipment for loading and unloading, etc.

What are the responsibilities of a Roadie driver?

As a Roadie driver, when you are selected for a gig, you’re expected to pick up and deliver the shipment on time, have friendly communication with both the sender and the receiver when needed, and maintain a minimum four-star rating from senders for completed gigs.

How much do Roadie drivers make?

Roadie claims drivers can make an average of $15 per trip for local deliveries (with most gigs paying between $8 and $50) and up to $650 on long trips carrying oversized items. 

But do these claims match reality? Not really, at least according to our 2021 earnings data collected from over 200,000 Gridwise drivers.

Roadie driver earnings per trip

The median earnings per Roadie trip ranged from $12.82 to $15.11 in 2021, which is lower than the advertised average earnings by ~$1.25 per trip. The shortfall looks even worse when you consider the fact that our data includes earnings from supposedly high-paying long trips as well. 

Roadie driver earnings per hour

The median earnings per work hour, meanwhile, ranged from $13.93 to $17.49 in 2021, which is again on the lower side compared to Roadie’s competitors. In January 2022, the per-trip and per-hour median earnings were $13.87 and $15.52, respectively.

We recently published an in-depth article about drivers’ 2021 earnings across different services, including Roadie. According to our analysis, in 2021 Roadie drivers made less money than drivers for other package delivery services such as Amazon Flex and Curri.

It’s worth pointing out that Roadie does things a little differently from the other package delivery services. Curri deals with oversized construction items, while Amazon Flex doesn’t offer the kind of flexibility drivers enjoy on Roadie. Because of this, earnings on Roadie are not directly comparable to those from Amazon Flex or Curri.

Also, like all other platforms, earnings on Roadie are notoriously dependent on your location. For example, Roadie claims its drivers in Pittsburgh make on average $39 per hour, which is 2.6 times the national average.

Expenses for Roadie drivers

Roadie drivers have to cover all the fuel, maintenance, and other vehicle-related expenses. However, any toll and parking charges incurred while on an active delivery will be reimbursed by Roadie after verification of receipts.

How do Roadie drivers get paid?

Roadie pays weekly via direct deposit on Tuesdays. (Note: it may take one to three business days for the money to be available in your account.) Roadie drivers are automatically enrolled for weekly payouts unless they specifically opt for Instant Pay.

Instant Pay allows delivery and rideshare drivers to cash out instantly at any time. Roadie drivers qualify for Instant Pay when they complete at least five deliveries. Eligible drivers will see a message in the app telling them how to enable the feature.

Is being a Roadie driver worth it?

All of this analysis brings us to the most important question of this exercise: Is it worth driving for Roadie? 

Yes – as long as you think of it as an on-the-way delivery service to either make some extra income or to recoup your gas and travel costs. Here’s what Gridwise recommends:

• The central idea behind Roadie is, why not make a few deliveries along travel routes to make some money? These gigs can bring down your operational costs for delivery and improve profitability.
• Roadie is better suited as an intermittent side hustle rather than a full-time income. If you are considering delivery jobs as a full-time occupation, then Roadie probably is not your best option. Other package delivery platforms offer better and more reliable pay.
• You can drive for Roadie in conjunction with your other jobs. The more travel your primary job involves, the higher the income you can make from Roadie. Since the platform offers a high degree of flexibility to drivers, you can likely do it alongside your primary job.
• Roadie doesn’t ask you to book a slot or mark yourself as online to get gig offers. It’s passive by design; you can choose to use it only when you find gigs that fit into your routes and schedule. There is no commitment or downside to registering as a Roadie driver.
• Roadie learns with use. Roadie says the app will become smarter and more personalized as you use it more. This should result in more gigs that match your preferences over time.

Make more money as a Roadie driver

You can improve your earnings on the app by following a few proven tips. These suggestions may not immediately increase your earnings, but they add up over time without demanding much from you.

• Choose your orders wisely by calculating your costs, including the opportunity cost of your time and efforts.
• Roadie supports and even encourages tipping drivers. Being punctual, proactive, and courteous can encourage customers to tip well and give higher ratings.
• Investing in tools such as a collapsible dolly, car mat, mileage tracker, etc. may not directly increase your earnings, but they can increase professionalism (and make your life a little easier). 
• Roadie runs a driver bonus program and other promotions in select markets. Keep track of when they’re on and aim for the extra income when possible.
• Use our Gridwise driver assistant app to easily track your mileage and save thousands of dollars on tax deductions. Our free app also offers easy-to-understand insights into your earnings and performance across various platforms to help you make data-driven decisions about your earnings. 
• Roadie collaborates with their partners to provide discounts and other benefits to their drivers, so keep an eye out for the ones that fir your business.

Uber Eats is growing—and fast. With the acquisition of Postmates, Uber Eats is attempting to position itself as the only real alternative to DoorDash. This growth also leads many to wonder about Uber Eats driver pay.

[elementor-template id="20891"]

Let's take a look at the data from 250,000 real Gridwise drivers to find the answers. 

How much does Uber Eats pay?

Just like DoorDash, driver pay on Uber Eats consists of three core components: standard delivery fare, customer tips, and promotions. 

The Uber Eats Pay rate includes flat amounts for each pickup and drop-off and is calculated by using trip distance and time. Promotions include conditional bonus payments for completing a set number of deliveries in a certain amount of time or for driving during busy times in certain locations. 

Uber drivers earn a median average of $18.99 at the time of this article being written.

When it comes to Uber driver bonus and tip pay per work hour, a $3.55 would be a median average number drivers could refer to.

Uber Eats drivers monthly take home pay is less than most other rideshare and delivery drivers. However, it is worth noting that this is median average and can depend on many factors.

A survey of Gridwise drivers indicates that drivers are restricting how often they're on the road to cut down on gas costs. Although their driving has decreased, these stats show that Uber Eats drivers are still making the same amount of money despite accepting fewer trips.

Uber Eats pay in popular US cities

How much do Uber Eats drivers earn in Miami?

• On average, Uber Eats drivers in Miami earn $12.05 per hour.

What factors impact Uber Eats Driver Pay?

• Where you drive - Your location is easily the most important factor in determining your earnings as an Uber and Uber Eats driver. Our analysis of earnings data confirmed this by showing variances in driver pay across different cities. But generally, you earn more in urban areas and less in rural areas.
• When you drive - Driving when demand is high improves your earnings through surge pricing and promotions. You can earn more if you’re willing to forgo some of the flexibility of driving on your own terms. 
• How often you drive - Drive more. Earn more. It’s that simple! Strategizing to improve your earnings per trip and per hour will not yield much if you aren’t spending enough time behind the wheel.

What are the most significant expenses for Uber Eats drivers?

Gross earnings alone never tell the whole story about your gig earnings. You have to consider all the expenses involved to know your take-home wages. 

And that’s not always simple. You have to carefully track of all your expenses (the Gridwise app can help) to accurately calculate your net earnings from the job. Some of the most common expenses include:

• vehicle financing or rental costs
• registration and licensing costs
• vehicle maintenance 
• vehicle repair costs
• vehicle depreciation costs
• phone bill, taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses
• the opportunity cost of your time and resources
• medical expenses 

Though most drivers do a good job of tracking their direct and recurring expenses, hidden expenses like vehicle depreciation don’t get the same treatment. 

According to AAA , depreciation can account for nearly 36% of the total vehicle ownership costs in a year. Still, most drivers don’t account for this expense according to the Wall Street Journal. 

Have the rising gas prices impacted driver earnings?

The national average price for regular gas rose by 43.65% (nearly 45%) in a year, going from $2.864/gal to $4.114/gal, according to data from AAA. 

The price of diesel saw an even bigger surge during the same period, jumping from $3.083/gal to $5.042/gal in a year, which translates to a staggering increase of 63.54%.

This sharp rise in fuel prices adversely affects the net earnings of all gig economy drivers, including those delivering for Uber Eats. 

In an effort to reduce the burden and keep drivers on the road, Uber has started charging customers a fuel surcharge of either $0.45 or $0.55 on every Uber trip and $0.35 or $0.45 on every Uber Eats delivery, with all the money going to Uber Eats Driver Pay. 

The exact rates depend on the location and will take into account the average trip distance and increase in gas prices in different states. This temporary relief measure came into effect on March 16, 2022, and will last for a minimum of 60 days, after which Uber will reassess its driver relief program.

Here are a few other options available to help drivers stay on the road despite rising costs:

• join Gridwise for to access driver-specific benefits.
• use Gridwise mileage tracker for Uber Eats to save on taxes.
• follow our guides for tips on lowering fuel costs.
• qualify for the Uber Eats Pro benefits program for better rates and more trips.

So, is it worth driving for Uber Eats in 2024?

Though Uber Eats drivers earn more per hour, overall earnings are fairly consistent across the major food delivery apps.

If you’re deciding between Uber Eats and another service like rideshare or package delivery, it’s worth noting that food delivery pays the lowest per hour. 

A hybrid business that includes food delivery during peak hours but focuses more on high-earning gigs like rideshare and packages is likely the best option. For this tactic, Uber does come out on top since drivers can easily switch between rideshare and food delivery jobs in a single platform.

Gig drivers work hard for their money and getting your savings to grow can be even harder. Drivers keep their eyes on the road so much, it’s almost impossible to do the kind of research that’s needed to make sound investments.

Still, investing your earnings is important. As you accumulate savings, it’s crucial to place your money where it can grow and provide you with the funds you need. Fortunately, you no longer have to get an MBA to make solid investment choices.

Have your “people skills” been tested to the max by rideshare and food delivery work? If so, Amazon Flex could be an excellent option for you. Flex is Amazon’s platform for drivers who want to deliver “smiles,” the company’s way of describing Amazon packages, to online shoppers. Most of the time, you won’t even see the people at the other end of the delivery, so this gig is likely to give you a break from the pain and angst of dealing with the general public.

That’s not the only good thing about Amazon Flex, though. In this post, we’ll cover more pluses and a few things that aren’t so great, so you can decide if this could be a good gig for you.

[elementor-template id="20891"]

Amazon Flex basics

How does Amazon Flex work? Amazon Flex drivers are independent contractors who use their own vehicles to deliver items ordered from Amazon, including

• packages: picked up at a delivery station and then delivered to customers within a given time frame, usually a 3–6 hour block
• Prime Now and Amazon Fresh: groceries and household items picked up from an Amazon delivery station, then delivered, usually in 2–4 hour blocks
• store orders: pickups of items from local stores, in blocks of 2–4 hours
• instant offers: last-minute restaurant deliveries completed in 15–45 minutes, separate from scheduled blocks, and available only in select areas 

The Amazon Flex app handles all the tasks drivers must complete, which include

• scheduling
• scanning barcodes on packages
• plotting the delivery route 
• re-scanning the package again at the delivery point
• providing photo evidence of the delivery

Drivers for Amazon Flex work on schedule blocks, meaning they must prearrange work times, show up at the delivery station on time, and complete all the deliveries within the scheduled block. This YouTube video from the Side Gig Guy describes how schedule blocks work, and offers general tips about working for Amazon Flex.

This video takes you through the process of driving for Amazon Flex and shows all the steps involved in completing a successful schedule block.

To schedule a block as a Flex driver, start by selecting the warehouse you want to work from. The app will then show you what’s available and how much you’ll be paid; then select the block that works for you.

You must be on time for your scheduled block if you expect to maintain a high driver rating with Amazon Flex. When you arrive at the delivery center, you will need to scan the package codes into your app.

You are expected to get all the goods delivered within the scheduled time block. While that usually isn’t an issue, it can become problematic, depending on the number of items, traffic, and other delays. If you work beyond your scheduled block, you won’t be paid for the extra time it takes to finish all your deliveries. 

You can always get help from Amazon Flex when you run into problems. This Gridwise blog post describes situations when you might need to get in touch with Amazon Flex support and how you can best obtain help.

Knowing all these things, you’ll be ready to go out and complete your deliveries. This is how individual deliveries may appear within the Amazon Flex app:

When you click on the individual deliveries, the app will direct you to the customer’s address.

As you can see, you will depend on your app for almost everything you do as a Flex driver. Fortunately, you’ll get opportunities to learn more about how to use it once you sign up and are accepted as a driver. First, though, you need to meet the Amazon Flex driver standards.

What are the requirements for Amazon Flex drivers?

The requirements for Amazon Flex drivers differ some from those you need to meet to do rideshare or food delivery driving. There are a few things to consider before you even think about signing up. 

• You will have to do some moderate-to-heavy lifting in the course of delivering packages.
• You will need to deal with being outside in extreme weather.
• You must live in a city where Amazon Flex operates. Check the Amazon website to see if it’s possible to drive for Amazon Flex in your city.
• There must be slots available for drivers in your area. To make working for Amazon Flex desirable, the company limits the number of drivers they approve. That way they can guarantee there will be enough work for them. Be prepared to be placed on a waiting list if there are already enough drivers in your town.

Once you get past these considerations, you’ll need to meet these company requirements:

• be 21 years of age or older
• have a SocialSecurity number
• pass a background check (criminal and DMV)
• have a valid U.S. driver’s license

• have a vehicle large enough to carry delivery loads, specifically, a midsize four-door sedan or larger; except for Prime Now, which permits the use of any reliable four-door vehicle
• carry sufficient insurance on your vehicle, beyond the insurance Amazon provides, as shown on the Amazon website 
• own a suitable smartphone, as shown in the table below

AndroidiPhoneAndroid 7.0 or newer
2 GB or higher RAM
Camera with flash
GPS location services
SIM cardiPhone 6s or newer 
iOS 14 or higher

Granted, qualifying to be an Amazon Flex driver, and dealing with the logistics involved in scanning and delivering once you’re on board, can sound daunting. But there’s a really good reason why so many drivers love working for Amazon Flex, and that has to do with the way we can answer this question: How much do Amazon Flex drivers make?

Amazon Flex driver pay

It’s true. Amazon Flex drivers make more than most rideshare and delivery drivers, at least as far as earnings per hour and earnings per delivery are concerned. In 2022, Gridwise data showed that Amazon Flex drivers averaged $23.35 per hour. This exceeds the rates raked in by drivers for just about any other rideshare or delivery app.

Some other factors might give us a bit of a different picture, though. Let’s answer this question:

How much do Amazon Flex drivers make a week?

As it turns out, Amazon Flex drivers are limited to working 40 hours per week. Drivers won’t get assigned more than 8 hours of work per day, and most times it will be less than that. If we take the $23.35 per hour figure and apply it to a full 40-hour week, a very busy Flex driver will earn about $934.00 per week. More common would be a driver working around 30 hours a week, bringing the potential 7-day work figure down to around $700.00.

How much do Amazon Flex drivers make a month?

If we look at the maximum figure again and average four weeks in a month, a very busy (and lucky) Amazon Flex driver could stand to earn $3,736 per month. The more likely figure, however, based on a 30-hour work week, would be $2,800.

These estimates are very high in terms of the average number of hours Amazon Flex drivers actually work. This Gridwise post reveals that the average Flex driver made about $420 for the whole month. That would mean that, on average, most Amazon Flex drivers worked only about 18 hours a month.

That base hourly earnings figure, or $23.35, is derived from actual data collected by Gridwise. Other sources report lower figures. Indeed.com estimates the national average hourly pay for Amazon Flex drivers to be $16.34.

If you want to get granular about analyzing Amazon Flex earnings, read this Gridwise blog post. 

So, it appears that while the average hourly earnings are higher than most other gig driving opportunities, the maximum number of hours most Amazon Flex drivers work is low. There are ways, though, to maximize earnings with Amazon Flex, as shown in this Gridwise blog post. Also, there are some perks available for Flex drivers. This Gridwise post tells you about the extras Amazon has to offer. 

Now that we have a rundown of what it takes to work for Amazon Flex, and how much you’re likely to be paid, let’s lay out the good points and bad points of using this app for your driving gig.

Perks and considerations of driving for Amazon Flex

Like any job in the gig economy, Amazon Flex has its plus points and a few considerations to think about before you sign up. Here are some interesting items to consider on both sides of the equation.

How do you know what the best times to drive are, and where would you get this information? This article from Ridelancer.com agrees that it’s good to know the right times to drive, and gives very general ideas about when certain peaks might be. This rough estimate, while somewhat useful, leaves much to be desired. If you want to know the best times to drive, there is a much better way to find out.

In this post, we’ll show you how the When to Drive feature from Gridwise can change your driving gig and make it far more profitable. Here’s what we’ll feature:

• When to Drive: Boost your earnings with real data.
• What special days and events create demand in your area?
• What are the best times to drive for Uber and other rideshare apps?
• What are the best times to drive for Doordash and other delivery apps?
• Additional insight into rideshare and delivery driving from Gridwise.

Let’s get started.

When to drive: Boost your earnings with real data

The When to Drive feature from Gridwise is based on far more than mere guesswork. It lists the best times to drive, specifically in your area, based on the actual experience of real drivers. This data from drivers just like you reflects the unique aspects of your area and lets you see when drivers make the most money.

Here’s how it works.

First, download Gridwise, the app designed for gig drivers by gig drivers.

Sign in, and click on the Insights tab. You’ll see a chart showing the days that yield the most earnings in your town. You can also compare services to get insight into hourly rates across the apps you use.

Insights such as these can really boost your earnings, and you can’t have too many of them! That’s why you need Gridwise Plus, a premium service that offers extended features, benefits, and utility. For just $9.99 per month, you can boost your earnings up to 30% by taking advantage of extended features in When to Drive. Check out just how detailed the data telling when to drive can be:

The Gridwise Plus version of When to Drive gives you

• a history of earnings by time and by service, for at least 4 weeks
• airport departure and arrival patterns 24/7
• real-time flight details, including plane sizes and delays
• custom airport alerts
• unlimited information about local events

This insight is, obviously, like gold when it comes to knowing when to drive, but there is even more you need to be aware of.

What special days and events create demand in your area?

You can always count on When to Drive from Gridwise to show you the peak times to drive in your area. The app will clue you in on huge events such as pro sports games and major concerts. Don’t miss out, though, on smaller, more localized happenings that are bound to bring in the pings. Here are some to consider.

College comings and goings 

Stay aware of academic calendars that govern life at the colleges and universities around you. There are bound to be surges when the studious ones are ready to take a break. This can happen at the beginning of terms, in the middle, and certainly at winter and spring breaks. In addition to airport runs, there are bound to be plenty of parties and school events surrounding these important dates. Move-in time is sure to bring you business when students are stocking their living spaces with creature comforts and junk food staples.

High school sports and events 

Savvy parents are sick of trying to park at school sporting events and other auditorium-worthy presentations. It’s far easier for them to watch their favorite player, dancer, or budding violinist without the worries of dealing with their own vehicles. Delivery drivers can make out, too, with the after parties that are sure to take place. Check for signs around schools, local postings, and the school district website for dates and times of events. Be cautious about carrying under age kids, though. This article from Gridwise covers services that are best suited for those not yet enjoying adulthood.

Taco Tuesdays and Thirsty Thursdays

Most drivers think of midweek evenings as “dead,” but they might not be! Cruise your local neighborhoods to check advertisements outside of bars and restaurants, and keep a close eye on When to Drive and Where to Drive on the Gridwise app. They will tip you off on where people will be looking for gig drivers after indulging in the deals to be had. The conversations that go on in your back seat could make these “off” nights some of the best times to drive for Lyft. 

Community events

Beyond games, shows, and other gatherings related to schools in your area, crowds gather for many events sponsored by the community at large. From Fourth of July fireworks and Pride parades to Santa’s arrival and solemn religious holidays, you’ll find activities and events that draw people who need your services. Check out your community calendars and stay on top of all local happenings.

“Smaller” holidays

You may not want to give up your own “big” holiday traditions so you can work, but what about a less major celebration such as Halloween? It can be one of the best times to drive for Uber. Not only can it be lucrative, it offers a bit of fun too. Check out this Gridwise post to get ideas for driving during the halloween. Then think about other “smaller” holidays that inspire you to dress up your driving to join in on the fun. Hearts on your car for Valentine’s passengers or Easter bunny ears, anybody?

Always check the Events Feature in Gridwise to pinpoint times and places for events Now that we know where to go to get real data on when to drive, and have some other ideas to go on, let’s look at how you can capitalize on different peak times, depending on your driving gig.

What are the best times to drive for Uber and other rideshare apps?

Gridwise data show us that the best times to drive can vary from one place and one season to another. However, time windows that are open to rideshare drivers everywhere can pay off in big ways.

Early morning airport runs

 If you like to stay up all night or get up very, very early, you’ll find plenty of customers pinging for rides to the airport. With scheduling options now available for Uber and Lyft, you could even get the advance notice you need to plan for a little shut-eye before or after your trips. And always remember to check Gridwise for up-to-the-minute airport info!

Before and after work hours

 For starters, there’s a rule of thumb, according toFast Track Leasing LLC, that cites early mornings as the best time for rideshare drivers. With the price of parking in numerous cities, many workers prefer to let you do the driving. It’s true that not all office buildings are back to pre-pandemic numbers in terms of rides, but this is still fertile ground for harvesting plenty of pay.

Weekends and party hours

So many passengers enjoy the freedom rideshare offers in terms of staying away from driving after they’ve had a few, and certainly after a few too many. The lack of parking fees and the hassle of worrying about one’s car add to the incentives people have for calling an Uber or Lyft when they have plans to party hard.

Big events

Concerts, sporting events, festivals, and all types of crowded gatherings are likely occasions for passengers to call Uber, Lyft, or their other favorite rideshare services. Be careful here, though. Try to drive around the big event, say for tailgating or pre-stage play or concert meals. That way, you won’t spend your entire shift hoping the traffic jam you’re sitting in, at or near the event venue, will clear.

What are the best times to drive for Doordash and other delivery apps?

You’ll find out the details from When to Drive from Gridwise, but we also want to give you some general ideas to keep in mind for grabbing ping-rich delivery shifts. Don’t miss out on the best times to drive for Uber Eats, Grubhub, or Instacart. Here are a few.

Nighttime noshing

 Never underestimate the ability of college students or late night bar hoppers to devour entire pizzas or burgers piled high with gooey extras during the wee hours. Most delivery drivers focus their efforts on “customary” meal times, but the late night can be a great time to scoop up big orders. Hang around the eateries that attract this crowd, and you’ll be heaving bags full of comfort food, and possibly collect bonus money and big tips for hanging out long after dark. Don’t believe us? Teecycle.com has more about evolving late-night eating habits.

Pre- and post-game parties

The majority of people dig making their own munching material at tailgate parties, but some will probably want to have you bring their favorite restaurant wings instead. As for those who are watching big games at home, you’ll be their favorite person when you deliver the cheesy nachos and bottomless barrels of salsa. Stay alert to game times, including halftime and final whistles. If you deliver beer, you could be bringing it for a celebration or for something your customers can cry into. Either way, you get to keep your profits high!

Pre-holiday prep time

When people are in the throes of putting together gigantic feasts for upcoming holidays, the first thing they’ll want is today’s dinner delivered…now. You can bet on more than a few orders coming your way on holiday eves. And if your app involves delivering groceries, there’s a lot of last-minute order potential for forgotten, and drastically needed, items too.

Bad weather

It pays to have your delivery vehicle ready for service in rain, snow, sleet, and even blazing sun. When the weather gets disagreeable, customers just might flock to their delivery apps to order comforting grub without having to leave the welcoming heat of their homes. When are the best times to deliver for Uber Eats? you ask. Even with a keen eye on the weather, it can be hard to tell.

You need solid knowledge and personalised data from When to Drive from Gridwise. Then you’ll know for sure when you can make more money, any time of the day or night, and in any weather!
