WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR DRIVERS?

Uber will give you the tools needed to make some awesome cash with totally flexible hours.

Meet New People

Uber riders are a great bunch and come in all demographics. Every pickup is an awesome opportunity to have a new social interaction with one of your fellow Winnipegers.

When ride demand is high, drivers get paid accordingly. If lots of people want a ride at once (after a Jet's game for example), your fares will go up, and so will your pay!
