3 MISTAKES New Uber Drivers Make In 2025

If you have driven Uber or Lyft, chances are you probably have made all of these mistakes and are likely to be making one now. Join Kian as he goes over 3 more of the mistakes new Uber/Lyft drivers make in 2025.

The first mistake? Waiting too long for passengers. Many riders say they’ll "just be a minute," but that often turns into five or ten... Don't waste your time. Cancel the ride when Uber and Lyft allow, and move on.

The second mistake? Waiting too long for a good ride. Some drivers decline trip after trip, hoping for a high-paying one. But this could cause you to waste time and miss out on steady earnings. Kian suggests taking shorter rides instead of sitting idle since small fares add up and keep you moving.

The final mistake? Not talking to passengers at all. A little small talk and making sure riders are comfortable can go a long way in getting better ratings and tips.

Do you agree with these mistakes?
