3 tips for every new Uber driver

New Uber Driver? We’ve helped thousands of new drivers get on the road in a Splend PCO car and earn a flexible income. Are you looking to become an Uber driver? We’ve compiled a list of the 3 most important tips you should know before starting with Uber.

Be organised for the New Uber Driver sign-up process

The last thing you need is a delay in your Uber application, so before getting started as an Uber driver you need to know the sign-up process inside and out to avoid any potential hold-ups. These are the most common ones: Make sure you book your Uber appointment in advance since it can take up to two weeks to get your appointment. Take all your documents to your Uber appointment. Forgetting just one document can cause delays.

Know how COVID-19 has changed the rideshare industry

COVID-19 has impacted many industries, and ridesharing was hit among the hardest. As we settled into the new normal, a couple of changes took place – all to make it safer for both drivers and riders. Health and safety are just the basics. There’s also a lot to learn about financial help, temporary measures that might affect your work or your sign-up process, and even some new earning opportunities that you should be aware of.

Check out the other earning platforms

One thing this recent pandemic has taught us is the importance of a plan B. Once you’re on board with Uber, take a look at the on-demand platforms where you can earn money using your car. The demand for food and package delivery boomed during and after the lockdowns, UberEats and Amazon Flex being two of the most popular platforms.
