Whether it is people looking for a career change or realizing that Uber and Lyft are not worth the wear and tear on their vehicles.
We at RideYellow want to let you know some reasons you should consider becoming a taxi driver.
1.) We offer an $800 Bonus Credit
If you are brand new to driving a taxi we believe it is important to let you settle into your new career path.
Our $800 Bonus Credit is perfect for the new Taxi Driver because for the first week your lease is free, plus a lowered lease rate for an additional 4 weeks!
That means more profits for you as you get used to driving.
You can read more about this awesome promotion on our Taxi Driver page.
2.) Your car is provided
Don’t put miles on your own car, instead have one provided for you to use.
The comment we hear a lot when someone signs up to become a driver with us is that they expected to be making more money with Uber and Lyft…
This is a common misconception that people have. The reason being is because they get their information from websites and sources that are actually controlled by Uber and Lyft.
In a recent 2016 report done by Buzzfeed (not controlled by Uber or Lyft) it states that, in Detroit, the average Uber driver makes $8.77/hr after expenses. What a rip off.
Having your car provided means less expenses for you and more money in your pocket!
3.) You are Fully Insured
You and your passengers are always protected by the best insurance coverage.
There are no fine lines or gaps in your coverage… no what-ifs or gray areas!
According to a recent article by the Huffington Post, Robert Harrow mentions that,
“If you drive your car without specifying you are using it for business purposes, then you have a personal policy. A taxi service is considered a business use. Thus in the eyes of your insurer, if you crash while doing something you weren’t technically insured for, they are not obligated to pay out for the claim.”
Drive with ease mind knowing that we have your back when you need it the most.
