Uber drivers in Seattle, for example, make an average of ** $19 to $21 per hour before expenses**. If you live in a rural area, however, you might make closer to $10 per hour due to the decreased demand for Ubers. Of course, it also depends on when and how often you drive, as taking advantage of peak hour surge pricing and Uber’s driving incentives could boost your earnings.
In short, driving for Uber could definitely help you supplement your income, but it may not be the most reliable source of funds in areas that aren’t densely populated. If you really want to make some money by driving for Uber, it’s best to stick to urban and suburban areas, and areas close to major airports.
You’ll also have to consider the costs of gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.
