Pros
Independence: You make your own schedule and report to no one. Flexibility: Work when you want. If your kid has a soccer match, you can go because you set your own schedule. Tired or just having a hard day? Go home; get 'em tomorrow.
Cons
No set pay: Your pay is determined by what rides you give. If you learn how to work efficiently, you can make decent money. If not, you may not make much. They will short your pay by charging the customers more, suggesting a surge, but cutting the driver out of it. 100% of the surge is supposed to go to the driver but they if they dont list it as a surge they can bypass paying the driver more and take the extra profit. Wear and tear on your car: You're going to put a lot of miles on your car and you're responsible for buying gas and paying for maintenance. No sick pay and no PT0. No room for growth: Experience, high ratings, and a proven track record dont earn increased pay rate or better rides. They used to mean better rides offered but that changed this year (2025). They can fire you for nothing: I was deactivated because a passenger made baseless allegations. I had video of the entire ride proving my innocence and they still deactivated me without explanation of what rule I broke. So be warned, they can deactivate whenever they want.
