How much do Uber drivers make in San Antonio, Texas?

I finally have my own apartment in San Antonio, and while I’m happy to finally be living on my own, I could really use some extra cash. I only work part time, so I’m thinking of driving for Uber. How much do Uber drivers make in San Antonio, Texas?

Uber drivers in
San Antonio, Texas
make an average of $14.83 per hour, with hourly pay ranging from $22.25 all the way down to $7.40. If you zoom out and look at it in terms of yearly compensation, the median salary for a San Antonio Uber driver is $36,600. That said, it’s normal for San Antonio Uber drivers to earn anywhere between $30,402 and $44,702 each year.
If you’re reading this and thinking that an average hourly compensation of $14.83 per hour sounds low….you’d be correct in thinking so. Data from MIT’s Living Wage Calculator suggests that a single person household in San Antonio needs to earn at least $15.43 per hour in order to live comfortably (meaning, enough money leftover for date nights, tickets to sports games, and meals out with friends). However,
driving for Uber
is more lucrative than taking any old minimum wage job in Texas—that’ll only earn you a paltry $7.25 per hour.
So, as a side gig, Uber is a great option to help supplement your income. Just make sure you get
rideshare insurance
before you begin driving, as your current policy is
unlikely to include rideshare coverage
