If you are thinking of offering driving services on your own, or through one of the popular applications that are available, you want to get a vehicle that will allow you to pick up a wide range of people. The bigger your vehicle, the more money you will make, and the more people you can fit during transportation.
Look into the different services and decide which will be right for you. Then, look at the average cost someone has to pay for a ride and what the fees are for the driver. This allows you to see how much money you could make regularly. From there, you want to do the following to start earning.
Get a Mobility Van to Appeal to All Customers
You want to get a mobility van so that you can pick up all customers, including those that are in a wheelchair. This gives people who are in a wheelchair an easy way to get to and from where they need to go, without having to worry about finding a company that specializes in this type of transportation.
Leasing or buying a new or used mobility van will be worth the investment because you will be able to appeal to a wider range of clients and people that need rides. You will also be able to take larger groups with a van, or pick up people that have luggage, so you can make more money with just that alone. Look at the options to see what will be the most affordable.
Improve Your Rating and Be Easily Recognizable
You may have to put some long hours in the first couple of days or weeks that you start driving, but if you work hard to improve you rating and to log a lot of experience, people will trust your driving abilities and feel comfortable riding with you. Someone with only one or two ratings may make some people apprehensive, especially if they have a wheelchair or another special need during transportation.
Consider offering some waters, mints, or other things in your vehicle so people can be as comfortable as possible while they are being transported. You may also want to consider getting satellite radio or paying for a streaming service, so you don't have to worry about not having any music your passengers will want to enjoy. As soon as you have the vehicle and get approved, you'll be ready to ride.

After going to my first auto auction, I became very interested in how dealers select the cars they're going to put on their lots. I spent a lot of time talking with local dealers, auction regulars, and others in the industry to learn the behind-the-scenes secrets to picking out the perfect auction cars and getting them lot-ready. I created this site to help others understand what goes into the process in the hopes that it would help car buyers understand what they're looking at when they hit the car lot. I hope the information here helps you better prepare for buying your next car.
