How Much Money Does an Uber-Grab Driver Make in Singapore 2017?

Update

26 March 2018: RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM UBER

 

Adrian,

We want to share some news with you – Uber will be combining our operations with Grab to lead you in the next chapter of ridesharing in Singapore.

What this means for you: we will be transitioning our services over to the Grab platform by April 8, 2018, and you will need to sign up for the Grab service to accept rides after that date. Rest assured, all rides picked up on the Uber platform before the cutover date will be paid by in full.

What you should do:

Download the Grab app IOS or ANDROID
Visit Grab for specific sign-up instructions

For more information on this transition, please visit Uber or Grab.
Greenlight Hubs will be closed on Monday, 26 March 2018 for the transition.

Thank you and we look forward to continuing to partner with you at Grab.

Regards,
Uber.

 

Was it worth to become an Uber Driver in Singapore?
In March 2017, I signed up as an Uber Driver using a rented car.
Why did I sign up? Simple…
 
The ads say you can earn S$5000 per month.
 
News articles say some even earned S$6000 per month.
 
So how much did I earn?
 
I drive in sessions of 3 hours between breaks.
 
In 3 hours, I collected an average total fare of S$70.
 
Let’s do the maths.
 
Driving for 10 hours will yield about S$200 (rounded off worst case situation).
 
Drive for 30 days and you get S$6000!
 
How much is the car rental? Petrol? Carpark? And Uber’s commission of 20%.
 
Rounding off the total cost, it’s about S$2,500 per month. Uber’s 20% commission is S$1200.
 
That means my take-home profit is S$6000 – S$2500 – S$1200 = S$2300.
 
The calculation does not include the variable incentives earned by driving a certain number of trips and making referrals.
 
What are the lessons learned from this experiment?
 
– If an extra S$2300 per month means something, then renting a car and driving for UBER is worth it.
 
– The earnings will be better if you already have your own car.
 
Question: Does driving for an extra S$2300 to S$3800 per month mean something to you?
