How much Uber drivers make in
Delaware
can vary widely since there are so many factors at play. Uber rates can commonly come out to a range that’s equivalent to about $15 to $25 per hour.
The following are just some of the factors that could affect how much you earn as an Uber driver in Delaware:
  • Your city: Larger cities will typically have more demand and more trip opportunities—which translates to more potential income for you. Rates can also vary significantly by location.
  • Your Uber service level: UberX is Uber’s base-level service that typically offers rides from economy cars. But if you drive an SUV or luxury vehicle, Comfort and UberXL options command higher rates. Of course, there will also have to be enough demand for these more expensive options where you live to be feasible. Taking on deliveries for Uber Eats could also be another option to bring in more cash.
  • When you work: Working at peak demand times can come with more trip opportunities and higher rates. Uber will pay drivers more to complete extra trips in busy “surge” areas. Uber also has offers where, when you make a certain amount of trips within a certain time period, you can earn a bonus on top of your trip earnings.
  • How often you work: This one goes without saying, but the more trips you take, the more you can earn with Uber.
  • Providing good service: According to Uber, drivers get to keep 100% of the tips they receive in the app.
If you decide to bring in some extra income with your car, you’ll also want to factor in fuel, maintenance and

costs to make sure your side gig stays cost-effective.
