How much do Uber drivers make in Grand Rapids, Michigan?
I've recently retired from buying and selling distressed corporations, and I just moved into a beautiful mahogany home in Grand Rapids. It really is delightful here—the woods and water are beautiful, and the fact Grand Rapids was the first U.S. city to add fluoride to its drinking water just tickles my husband pink (he’s a dentist). The thing is, I’m bored. I can’t sit in this house all day. I’d love some disposable cash on the side. How much does an Uber driver make in Grand Rapids, MI?

On average, an Uber driver in Grand Rapids,
Michigan
can earn between $30,000 to $44,000 per year, but that will depend on where you drive, when you drive, and how often you’re picking up passengers.You’ll definitely make more money driving in one of Michigan’s bigger cities, such as
Detroit
, Ann Arbor
, or your hometown of Grand Rapids
, though. So you’ve got that going for you!A big factor in raking it in is the time of day or night that you drive. Typically, evenings are busier and more profitable. So if you have evenings free, this could be a money-making time for you.
If not, you could try to capitalize on the early morning rush. Weekends can also be profitable, but beware of picking up passengers who’ve been boozing. Don’t pick anyone up you won’t be comfortable having in your car.
That said, the biggest determinant is how often you drive. If you have lots of time and want to make as much cash as possible, driving an Uber can certainly help. You’ll make your own hours, so the amount of money you make is based on you. That said, Uber does take a cut of every fare you get.
