How much do Uber drivers make in Columbus, Ohio?
I have my entire summer with nothing to do, and now that I’ve got my license and car, I’m thinking of driving for Uber to earn some cash before school starts. How much do Uber drivers make in Columbus, Ohio?

Uber drivers in Columbus,
Ohio
, make an average annual salary between $34,000 and $37,000. Broken down hourly, that’s about $16.35 to $17.79, but your rate can inflate drastically based on demand.If you drive late weekend nights when
Columbus
bargoers are looking for a safe ride home or block out chunks of time near the holidays to ferry passengers from the airport to their destinations, you could see an hourly rate of up to $47 per hour.Like with any hourly job, the more hours you’re able to put in, the more you’ll be able to make. If you treat Uber like a full-time job and can devote 40 hours per week to driving, you’ll earn a lot more than you would if you’re only able to drive once a week. But remember, Uber requires drivers to be at least 18.
And you should also keep in mind that Uber drivers in Ohio are independent contractors. That means that the money you make isn’t your actual take-home pay—you’ll have to deduct taxes, fuel costs, cleaning, and any other expenses.
