What's the best car to drive for Uber?

After seeing my friend make almost $75,000 last year driving for Uber, I decided I might do the same thing full-time. My biggest concern is which car to get to maximize my income while also keeping passengers comfortable. What’s the best car for Uber drivers?

While the best car for Uber depends on whether you want to drive UberX, UberXL, or Uber Black, most drivers agree that a hybrid is your best bet. Hybrid vehicles like the
Toyota Prius
offer up to 50 mpg, maximizing your efficiency while lowering what you pay at the pump.
If you want to drive for UberXL or Uber Black, you will need a larger or fancier hybrid. For UberXL, a
Toyota Highlander Hybrid
is top-ranked. For Uber Black, a hybrid
Mercedes-Benz
or
BMW
are two of the better options, providing opulence and efficiency in one complete package.
Another way to add to your earnings is to save money through an affordable
rideshare insurance
policy. These are supplemental policies that cover you while you’re driving for Uber. And the best place to get an affordable price is with the

app.
