What are the best times to drive for Uber?

I started driving for Uber about a month ago, but I haven’t had much luck finding good fares. Are there specific times that are better to drive for Uber so I can maximize my income?

Figuring out the best times to drive for Uber can substantially increase your earnings overall or by the hour. While these times vary depending on where you live, the best times to drive for Uber based on information from experienced drivers are:
  • During surge pricing, such as when a concert or sporting event takes place
  • Rush hour in the morning and evening
  • Right when bars close
  • Sundays
  • Weekends between 5 p.m. and 5 a.m.
  • Popular air travel times, which are usually for business people leaving on Monday morning and returning on Friday evening.
