How much do Uber drivers make in Georgia?
I’m wondering if it’s worth driving for a rideshare service if I live outside a major urban area. It would be nice to have the extra income but it might not be worth the hassle. How much do Uber drivers make in Georgia?

However, it’s difficult to generalize Uber driver wages by state. Drivers in urban areas like Atlanta will likely earn more than drivers in rural areas. Drivers who only work in the afternoons will make less than drivers who work during peak commute times and the 2 AM bar scene. Plus, there’s Uber X and Uber Select, and tips to consider, as well.
How much flexibility do you have? How many hours are you planning to work? If you can put in 30 hours per week and drive during high-demand periods, you’ll earn a reasonable salary in an urban area. But you’re correct that some areas just don’t have the demand to support a living wage for Uber drivers.
Another option for you to consider is driving Uber delivery. Even if people don’t order rideshares in your area, they may order food for delivery. There’s higher potential for tips with Uber delivery, too.
Just remember that you’re technically an independent contractor. Your wage is not your take-home pay. You have to pay for your fuel and cleaning costs, plus taxes. Most Uber drivers find that it takes a bit of experimentation to find the most lucrative driving schedule, so don’t be discouraged if you struggle when you start.
