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?
Natalie Todoroff · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
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 bar goers 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. That said, if you’re strategic about when and where you drive, you could hit the jackpot.
But, before downloading the app and opening your vehicle to strangers, contact your
car insurance
provider and see about adding rideshare coverage
to your policy. Although Uber already has some coverage in place to protect you as a driver, it’s got some serious lapses in coverage. To make sure you’re covered from headlight to bumper, we’d suggest you add on some extra coverage. View full answer
