How much can you make driving for Uber in Denver?
I have a friend who drives for Uber in Denver, and he always says that he makes good money. I was thinking about doing the same thing, especially because I got a new car, and I want to pay off the note. How much should I expect to make working for Uber in Denver?

While the amount of money you make with Uber depends on when and where you’re willing to drive, the average salary (according to Indeed and Salary.com) for Uber drivers in Denver ranges from about $31,000 to $45,000 annually with a median of around $37,000.
However, these numbers can fluctuate rapidly. With concerts or sporting events in town, Uber can implement surge fares, which can increase your income. Other hacks to improve your income driving for Uber in Denver include:
- Pack your own beverages and snacks so you aren’t tempted to go to a restaurant or convenience store.
- Use the Uber Passenger app to see where drivers are and then go to where you find the least competition.
- Pick an area and stick to it so you aren’t driving ridiculous distances or wasting gas.
