Can you make good money driving for Uber in Kansas City?

I have some family in the midwest that I’ll be staying with for several months, and I want to get some kind of short term work while I’m there. I thought driving for Uber might be a good solution, but I want to make sure it’ll be worth it! How much does an Uber driver make in Kansas City?

How much you can make depends on a lot of different factors, but an Uber driver in Kansas City can make between $30,000 to $52,000 annually. Indeed estimates that the average Uber driver in Kansas City makes about $123 a day, which is less than average.

So while it might be a worthwhile side gig, you’ll want to look into the realities of working for Uber before you commit. Once you factor in things like wear and tear on your car, gasoline costs, and car insurance, it might end up eating up more of your profits than you’d like.
