Not great

Driver (Current Employee) - Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire - 8 June 2023

Not a great job, money is rubbish, hours extremely long. After expenses you won't be saving much. Better of looking elsewhere for a job rather than this.

Avoid if you can

Driver (Current Employee) - Cardiff, Cardiff - 26 May 2023

Good money on paper but once you take all your expenses into account it’s not a good job anymore Get your own hybrid (don’t rent) if you would like to offset your costs a little bit, I’d also get a main job and do Uber on the side.

The WORST Job in the UK

SELF-EMPLOYED UBER COURIER/DELIVERY (Former Employee) - Bradford - 17 May 2023

This is a very poor/low company. You will find out why. Can make more money begging on streets thats how low their pay is. The work system is designer to keep you poor and struggling. Overcrowed with drivers who are willing to do more work than toy for less

Pros

None

Cons

Life haulting

Rate your recent company

Share your experience to help others

Paid peanuts

Private Hire Taxi Driver (Current Employee) - Sheffield - 16 May 2023

My advice to anyone thinking of working for uber is to reconsider. They pay you next to nothing after taking a big chunk of 40% off your earnings. You are just another driver to them they don't care for their drivers . By all means work for a local cab company where you are atleast appreciated.

Pros

Time flexibility

Cons

Pay is low

A client had an accident in my car and left not really nice odour of vomit.I contacted support,tried to clean it on my self,because none of the service was open. Wait few hours then I tried to work again ,unsuccessfully…Odour was still there,so I had to go home,first thing on next day was professional cleaning ,sent receipt to Uber and they decided to not pay me for it.I’m not happy about Uber customer service at all.

Not worth it anymore

Driver (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 29 March 2023

With raising fuel costs and the LTN's all across London the pay you get per trip is not worth it. Fuel + finance + insurance + maintenance + tax + other expenses = no money left for your self after doing 60 hour weeks

Good side gig

Private Hire Driver (Former Employee) - Coventry, West Midlands - 27 March 2023

Good side gig if you already have a car and wish to utilise it, wouldn’t recommend it for full-time income (too many drivers = too much competition).

Greedy company

Taxi Driver (Current Employee) - Liverpool - 26 March 2023

Was good at one time, good earnings, good jobs. Now the greed has taken over, lucky to earn minimum wage now. Driver support is also very much lacking.

Pros

Own hours

Cons

Long hours

Don’t fall for the nonsense

Driver (Former Employee) - North West - 20 March 2023

Every few months it gets worse. Pay the driver receives is nothing short of shambolic. Don’t fall for the minimum wage lie. It’s guaranteed minimum wage whilst on a job. Sit around for 3 hours on an 8 hour shift you get nothing. Cost of keeping a private hire vehicle on the road is approximately 18k a year. Iv left Uber. Pay is poor. Most trips pay under £1 per mile. It’s terrible. Even weekends are becoming very poor. You’ll have to sit in the car for about 70 hours to get about £600 then allow for fuel, tax, licensing, car maintenance, insurance. It’s poor. Don’t bother.

Pros

Pick your own hours

Cons

70 hours for £400 after exspenses.

It’s ok

Driver (part time) (Former Employee) - Huddersfield, West Yorkshire - 14 March 2023

The Uber driver job is really fun and easy to do, the best part is you get to pick your hours and can start whenever. The worst thing would be the pay isn’t very good unless it’s very busy.

Pros

Own hours, tips, fun

Cons

Low pay, long waiting times

Low pay/ no support

Driver (Current Employee) - Great Yarmouth, Norfolk - 14 March 2023

Very low pay, no support when things go wrong. Too much time wasted waiting around at restaurants like McDonald’s… makes it difficult to do more than a couple of jobs an hour if your lucky @£3 to £4 a job.
