its possible depend on your vehicle cost

for those who stuck with LCR rental.. i suggest you finding a relief driver to split the rental cost

Hi bro,

I am thinking of driving for Uber on a part time basis using my own car, there are a few thing I would to enquire and would appreciate your answer:

1) Total cost for registering a company and converting of insurance.
2) I understand that my car would have to be re-finance, could you elaborate how this is done?
3) In the event that I decided not to continue with Uber, what will happen to the financing of my car after the re-financing?

Think rental still 180 whole day.
Plus say 60 for diesel whole day, if u want to hit 150 nett a day, u need to hit 400 a day.

You know how siong that is.

It's not a matter of not drinking kopi with other Cabbies instead of driving. Even if u cheong during evening peak hours, u cant rake in 400 during that 2 to 3 hours. It's not like u one person picking fruit non stop. U can pick 12 hours non stop. But the fares will b snapped up by other Cabbies when u go back

It's not that easy. U need to work hard n smart

And Cabbies can pick up fares from streets. Uber can't. When not peak hours, fares will just jump into cab n won't book n wait for uber

I just took Grab Share this morning.
Much cheaper than Grabcar unless not on rush.
The driver was formerly a Uber driver and told me he quit Uber after there was plenty of clients complain.
The complain was addressed by Uber officers in Singapore acting yaya and big shot with threats with termination.
So he just quit and switched to Grab and so far so good.
Driver told me recently many quit Uber and so the Uber officers started booking their Grab cars and giving benefits/incentives to them to return to drive for Uber.
However my driver this morning decided to stick to Grab after informing Uber that they sucks.

Anyone to share here.

I reckoned clients complain about anything and usually about routes taken. Uber will add more fees if go longer way.

I was an Uber driver for 6 months. Not worth driving for Uber. I have switched to driving Citycab now and find it less stressful and take home more for the same hours of driving.

When I was with Uber, I was pulling in @ $9K gross monthly driving from 8.00am to 9.00pm every Mon-Sat. Sunday was my rest day. But after deductions for rental, petrol, fees, parking + miscellanous, my net take home is only @ $3K

I switched to driving a regular taxi for Citycab as a relief driver. My shift is everyday from 6.00am to 5.00pm. After all deductions I can still have take home @ $3.5-3.8K monthly.

Jumping from uber or grab should be simple since their market is the same although they are competitors.

The local Uber officers are really too much if they acted like Big Guns dealing with the drivers who are their clients.

Wonder how much you paid?

The Uber & Grab companies in Singapore operate differently from their counterparts in the other countries. In Singapore the government actually funded them and invested in them. They also seconded their people to be in the senior management of these companies. The government has vested interest to see these companies succeed and if you observe carefully you can see their "guided hands" in the way these companies are operating. So dun be surprised by the high handedness coming from the top as they think they are part of the government.

It's shocking garbagement invested in them when they're competition against taxi companies garbagement have an interest in.

Plus uber etc clearly is against the law so why garbagement invest in them????

And ubers business model can easily b adopted by other taxi companies other than they're private cars. Not 2 mention uber cars use petrol not diesel
