Over supply, under demand

If really such case, then they should not continue bid so many coe and buy so many new cars. Lol.

what she meant she used to rent from uber, she returned the car and lease from grab maybe she didn't updat her profile with uber.

 

she use uber app to accept the call and i pay uber.

Just curious LCR advertising show $52 nett per day. Is it new car with minimum contract 3 years or 5 years?

 

Tough to earn a decent living driving Uber or Grab, unless you have little or no financial commitment like a home loan.

 

It's been widely advertised "Earn UP TO $5,000 Gross"

 

Minus:

 

Rental $50/day x 30 days = $1,500

20% of fares to Uber/Grab = $250/day x 20% = $50 x 30 days = $1,500

Petrol base don 250km/day at 12km/l on 95RON = $40 x 30 days = $1,200

 

Your costs = $4,200

 

You earn $800 a month driving like siao with NO medical benefits and CPF.

Hmmm,,. based on your calculations above, your gross monthly should be $7500/ ($250x30 days)

 

you take gross home should be $7500-$4200 = $3300.

 

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, you are right 

 

Have revised the daily mileage to reflect the lower earnings.

 

Based on $5,000 monthly gross,

 

Rental $50/day x 30 days = $1,500

20% of fares to Uber/Grab = $167/day x 20% = $33.40 x 30 days = $1,002

Petrol base don 200km/day at 12km/l on 95RON = $33 x 30 days = $990

 

Your costs = $3,500

 

You earn $1,500 a month driving like siao with NO off days, medical benefits and CPF.

Its 5 weeks to be exact. and Lion Shitty Rental do not allow Grab job by the way. Good for you. Seem like you did not get the most out of your rental then.

How will LCR know whether the driver take on Grab job? Can trace meh?

Its illegal. You should report that, otherwise, you are sitting in an unauthorized vehicle with no commercial insurance. Its at your own risk, similar to a woman taking a stranger's car. There's already few cases of ppl "borrowing" accounts to drive, ending up being terminated.

Yes, and immediate trace by account registered with LCR. Not rocket science.

Grab share data with Uber/LCR?

i see, ok will take note in future. She is the same driver in the Uber driver profile though, just the car different.

It's the other way round. 

Grab share data with Uber/LCR?

I believe on some occasion yes. My Grabby pal received a warning reminder from Grab once, when he was checking out some incentives scheme from Uber. He checked with Grab how come the reminder was sent from Uber number, and Grab counter staffs were curious too. Its a "mystery", but am not surprise.

If different car arrives already can report to uber, even the driver is using uber account. The driver details, car make/model and car plate number must tally de.

Saturday evening i decided to hop into a cab instead of getting an uber from Star Vista to my home. I was reminded why i haven't taken a taxi in months. The trip was about 25% more expensive ($8 for Uber vs $10 for the taxi ride) and the taxi driver kept trying to turn the wrong way to make a bigger loop even after i told him where to go.

But same is true of Uber as well... they are so beholden to the app gps that sometimes they don't take a better route even when you tell them... 

 

Anyway, my wife takes Uber more than me... and she's had to deal with some new kids driving Uber with zero knowledge about the streets... and one taking an illegal u-turn in a frankly unsafe junction. This past week, she's also had the misfortune of waiting for almost 40 mins for an Uber... 1st booking went round and round for 25 mins and finally asked her to cancel it (she was charged $6 for that... though that charge was reversed once she complained)... whereas the 2nd booking after that came in a bit over 10 mins.

 

With all these headaches... she also had the pleasure of travelling with some real gems. Like this

[Jman888]

for 4 adult and 4 luggage, which Uber car should i use?  are they out at 5am?

LCR got SLK for rental? I don't mind renting for short term
