    Do You Want To Be An Uber Driver? – Learn About The 7 Services That Uber Offers!

    RichardBy RichardApril 9, 2018No Comments5 Mins Read

    If you decided to drive for Uber, then you need to know that driving for Uber is not just driving a car, it’s about different categories of service that you can provide to the many customers Uber services daily.

    Most of us know and hear of UberX and UberBlack, but did you know that Uber has many more categories, some are extremely niche related and others, which I will present here, are popular daily.

    The other difference between the categories is the income level. Uber takes into account that the more prestigious the level, the more expensive the car and the overheads are costlier too. So, While Uber X drivers earn a base fare of $2.20, Uber Black drivers start at $8.00. The difference is also in the per minute and mile charge too, Uber Black driver earns around $0.65 per minute while an Uber X driver income per minute is around $0.26.

    The customers also vary between services, so you must decide which budget range you can afford to drive with and which customers you want to drive. Note, that the higher up your category means you can drive lower categories too, but if you are a lower category, you cannot drive a higher one. Some UberBlack drivers will drive UberX on slow days.

    Uber Car Categories

    Uber’s car categories include:

    • UberX: standard car category
    • UberPOOL: rides sharing a section of UberX
    • UberXL: larger car category than UberX
    • UberSelect: the first luxury level
    • UberSUV: Uber’s SUV luxury level
    • UberBLack: Uber’s primary luxury level
    • UberLUX: Ubers top line service in LA only

    There are some general rules that cross over all categories, and they are:

    • The car interior must be clean and the upholstery in good condition with no wear and tear or stains.
    • The car exterior must be clean, with no scratches or dents.

    UberX (and UberPool)

    UberX is Uber’s standard entry level foralltheir ride-share services. UberPool is Uber’s multi-passenger service, which is usually covered by UberX cars, and most of the rides are within this category. Uber Pool also now comes with a new category, Express Pool. The main difference between the two is that in Uber Pool you get to pick up and drop off passengers based on their location preferences, while Express Pool is more like a shuttle service, where Uber sets the pickup and drop off locations.

    UberX car requirements are:
