How much do Uber drivers make in Arkansas?

I’ll be going to college next year and need a part-time job to support myself. I know ridesharing isn’t as big here but how much do Uber drivers make in Arkansas?

The average wage for Uber drivers in
Arkansas
is $15 per hour or about $35,000 per year—before taxes.
You’re correct that ridesharing is not as popular in states like Arksanas. However, urban areas are much more lucrative than rural areas. Your job prospects as an Uber driver depend partially on your zip code and when you plan to work.
Ultimately, ridesharing can be a good side-hustle to earn income. But remember that whatever you earn as an Uber driver is not your take-home pay. You’re responsible for fueling up, keeping the vehicle clean, and paying taxes on your contractor income. At the end of the day, it might not be worth the cost especially while you’re focused on school.
Note that Uber requires drivers under age 25 to have three years of licensed driving experience to be approved. Once you are approved, you should look into
rideshare insurance
. While Uber does offer
collision
and
comprehensive coverage
, it's best to find additional insurance to protect you during the periods between customers.
Some suggestions include
gap insurance
and
uninsured motorist
.
