Hot off the Uber Presses

About a month (or so) ago, Uber implemented a change that all riders and drivers should be aware of.

Check it out...

What does this mean to everyone?

Well, if a passenger appears to be a minor and has no adult accompanying them - their ride can be cancelled.

A lot of passengers and drivers may not be aware of this latest change but WhyDriveCA is hoping to help you understand and be kept up to date with changes as they happen.

I'm sure there are people who won't like this change but looking at the bigger picture of it - it's in place to help protect our children. As a driver and a parent, I am all for the change. Even to the extent that I could lose out on the fare. I have transported teens (and one who was still in elementary school) who had no adult companion present. I was nervous about these riders and with the youngest one, I was beyond concerned for their safety and lack of parental/guardian presence.

I've already experienced not so happy teens that I've refused rides to as well as teens and adults alike who appreciated the "good looking out" for them. I truly think this is a win/win - even if it makes life a little inconvenient.

What are your thoughts on this matter? Feel free to comment and share todays post.

Hello Readers...I've Got A Question For You

Want to pick up some extra money with little to no effort? Read on to find out how...

We're all looking for ways to make our lives easier and less complicated. One such way is trying to find some extra money to help ends meet or to save up for specific occasions in our lives.

I'd like to suggest giving Uber a try. Uber is worldwide and although we cannot honestly say it is EVERYWHERE...Uber is constantly expanding its' coverage. So theoretically speaking, there is little to no reason that an avid blog reader (thank you for keeping up with me) couldn't drive for Uber. And if Uber isn't in your area, reach out and ask why. Who knows, your question could spark the next expansion.

The Pros...

• Flexibility
  All Uber requires is one completed ride within a thirty day period. Easy Peezy. I can report that even with working a part time schedule, the rides add up and you'd be surprised to how many you will have in a short amount of time.
• No Boss to Answer to
  If you decide to take a day off or you want to change your time to work, you don't have to worry about the boss getting on your case. (Unless you like arguing with yourself. LOL)
• Pay
  You can be paid weekly or daily. The choice is completely yours. Your income is within your control (based on your devotion to driving) and even small/short runs add up. The key to it is finding your niche. Once you've got that figured out, the rest falls into place.
• Socializing
  You have the chance to meet a lot of great people who you may otherwise never meet. They all have stories to tell and come from every walk of life imagineable. You never know who might slip into your car. (That's the adventure of driving for Uber.)
• Driver Support
  Uber not only advocates for the Rider but also the Driver. However a circumstance may fall, Uber is there to make sure you (as a driver) are supported.

The Cons...

• Self Scheduling
  If you're the procrastinating type of person, this might be a challenge for you.
• No Buffer
  Sometimes you may get a passenger who you can't wait to get out of your car. But if you have the fortitude to press through, you have recourse available to you, (See Driver Support above.).

I'm pretty sure that others could add to my lists of Pros and Cons but that would make for a lengthy blog post and I'm not here to bore you to tears. Just know that this is a great opportunity that doesn't require being a rocket scientist or any major degrees for an Ivy League education.

All you need to become an Uber driver is the desire to make money and meet new people, a new(er) model car (2006 and newer), full coverage insurance and pass the required background check.
