How much do Uber drivers make in Portland, Maine?
I just moved to Portland, Maine and I’m looking for ways to make extra cash before my new job starts next month. Driving for Uber seems like a good option, but first, how much do Uber drivers in Portland make?

Uber drivers in
Portland, Maine
make an average of $36,000 to $45,000 annually by driving for Uber full-time.This rate is higher than Maine’s state-wide average salary for Uber drivers because the minimum wage in Portland is $18.00 per hour. As such, drivers earn more money on average within the city to compensate for the above-average minimum wage.
Additionally, drivers in cities get more rides, making their overall earnings higher. This is because there are more people in large cities, so Ubers are ordered more frequently. People also travel to big cities more frequently, so you’ll find more clients who don’t have a car with them.
If you want to earn more money driving for Uber, stick to areas with lots of restaurants/bars, the airport, and the downtown area. Heavy traffic in these areas will increase your likelihood of finding a rider.
