What is Uber Lux? Uber Lux is the most luxurious ride option available on the Uber platform, designed for passengers who wish to travel in a little more style and comfort.

It depends on many different factors. Your area and what rides you take, work ethic & discipline, etc. I make around $6000-$8000 from Uber depending on how I work.

Bottom line: It will take at least 60-65 hours a week of driving full time using multiple rideshare apps, taking advantage of all the Incentives, CRBs, Boost, and definitely Surge in order to make $100,000 as a rideshare driver.
