Nah, I'm not doing all that. It's not my job to make sure ''the boys'' smell good before they go get drunk. My car isn't a 7-11 and I'm not providing chips and snacks during rides. It's a trip to the bar. We're not Delta Airlines. I provide safe, courteous rides in a brand-new car, some phone chargers and pleasant conversation.

Right, shocked drivers still doing this like why? You can be a decent human being, get in a conversation they like and get more tips without dealing with the extra stress of needing to have, get, and maintain all those things. Actually this is probably so 2019, I don't really hear riders say drivers do this anymore when in '19 I had to hear it all the time to the point where I finally gave in and did it, and guess what? Nothing extra but added work. Not worth it IMO.

Preferred pricing is the best way to go. Apps can not prevent us from doing this as “an independent contractor.” I had a full 40hr week schedule with preferred rides until I moved out of state. Now I’m in the process of making business cards for my preferred choices of customers I would like to offer that service to. I’m in business to make money… not make these apps rule my life!!

Write-offs: My tax lady informed me that I can either take the mileage write-off OR itemize my deductions. My mileage write-off is always much, MUCH better than trying to itemize. Puke bags are for my peace of mind. It's helpful that my pax appreciate them but I have them and tell people to use them in order to stay on the road, plain and simple. As was said elsewhere, I'm not a 7-11 and having candy/drinks/mints/gum available inevitably leads to a mess regardless of whether or not I have proper waste disposal and a positive for the first riders becomes a negative for the following ones. As for cologne? No WAY. It's too easy to choke people out with anything scented whether it be pleasant or somebody smelling like the bottom of an ashtray. Long Distance Rides: Depends on your market. I live in Southern California. Going from Orange County to LAX is "long distance" but can take me from one hot area (think Disneyland) to another (West Side beach communities/Santa Monica). Get Upside: I have yet to see the app give enough cash back to equal the already rock bottom prices at Arco stations which don't make use of it. Preferred Pricing: Also known as doing gypsy cab driving. I prefer not to have that liability. The potential cost FAR outweighs the potential benefit. I just turned down an offer from a couple of my riders to do just this for them and a big group of their friends. I prefer to have a clear conscience and remain legal. Second phone: Because I only drive on the weekend evenings, I prefer using my phone's hot spot to power an 8" Android tablet running Uber and Lyft in split screen while I have Apple Car Play on my head unit. Eventually I'll be installing an Android powered head unit and eliminate the tablet altogether.

I agree with some of these commenters. Some of these are a bit unnecessary, but still some good insight. I just returned to uber after not doing it for a while. One thing I learned is that you should press the “stop new requests” button to prevent the rider from adding an extra stop. I wasn’t aware of this and I ended up having to drive a woman a total of an hour because of the added stop 😓

NEVER do that for them. They aren't your friends, you're there to make money not do favors.

Odoban = keep it smelling FRESH all day. I get tons of complements on how nice my car smells. I use mini spray bottles and squirt a little into the seats throughout the day. It has a light, clean scent, not like commercial car fresheners. PLUS I spray the inside of my shirts (armpit area) so I do not have to worry about me wreaking after a few hours. Yeah - nobody wants to be trapped in a car with a driver doused in cologne or be the next passenger after your last passenger put on cologne. I am not a rep for Ododan. Just been using it to keep my shoes fresh for years. Turns out, it is a good car air freshener. Especially after smokers get in my car and leave their stink behind. I just spary the seats with a little Odo-ban and drive with the windows open for a minute or two.
