Drivers can increase their income by 25-30% by driving during busier times, particularly during rush hours and on weekends. Demand is consistently high during these hours:

Monday-Friday: 8-10am and 5-8pm

Weekend Peak Hours:

Friday: 7pm – 2am

Saturday: 7pm – 2am

Sunday: 11am – 10pm

Tips and Tricks

Weekday commuting hours and weekend evenings are the busiest times and driving during these times could result in earning 25 – 30% more in fares

Rider demand is extremely high for the early morning airport runs on Friday and Monday mornings between 4AM and 8AM.

We also see lots of riders at festivals,  tourist attractions, games, graduations, concerts, airports, tradeshows, and other activities that attract large crowds– so don’t forget about those areas!
