How much do Uber drivers make in Orange County California?
I recently got fired from my job and I need a temporary gig to pay the bills. I’m a little late to the game but I’m considering driving for a car share company. How much do Uber drivers make in Orange County California?

It’s difficult to predict exactly how much you’ll make. Your wages depend on when, where, and how long you drive. For instance, surge pricing will earn you extra money but not everyone has this flexibility.
California Uber drivers are highest paid anywhere in the country, however. You could earn between $20 and $30 per hour in some cases. But remember, this is not your final take-home pay. Uber takes a cut, and you as the driver are responsible for fuel, cleaning costs, and taxes.
Some studies show that drivers who have been driving the longest earn the most money. So, if you’re only interested in rideshare driving for the short term, you may not get what you need out of driving for Uber. But if you’re uncertain about when you’ll find your next job, Uber could definitely help you pay the bills in the meantime.
Hope this helps!
