How much can you make with DRIBER
The money you earn through the Driver app is based on what, where, when, and how often you drive.
What you offer
Depending on your city, you can offer rides, make deliveries, and shop.
This lets you switch back and forth, depending on demand, to have as little idle time as possible.
Where you drive and deliver
The map on your Driver app tells you which areas have shorter wait times (shown as gray zones) and where surge pricing is available (visible in our heatmap).
When you’re driving
Choosing the best days and times to go online can make a huge difference—and it varies by city. For example, you might consider going online during commute times for rides and mealtimes for delivery.
More wTimeays to save
In select cities, you receive a per-minute rate based on the time expected to complete a trip, from when you arrive at the restaurant (including wait time) to when you complete the delivery.
How are earnings calculated?
The money you earn through the Driver app is based on what, where, when, and how often you drive.
It all starts with fares
Fares are the amount you earn for completing a ride, delivery, or shopping order.
These differ depending on your region or city.¹
Per-minute and per-mile
-
In some cities, you’ll earn a base fare, plus additional money for the time and distance you travel (these rates vary by city)
-
Your earnings will be determined at the end of every trip, based on how long and how far you travel
Upfront Fares
-
In some cities, you can see how much you’ll make and where you’ll go before you accept a trip
-
Upfront Fares are calculated based on current driving conditions, like destination and demand
-
If there’s unexpected traffic and the trip gets a lot longer, your fare will increase
More factors that impact fares
Regardless of your city or region, a few additional factors will determine how much you’ll earn for each ride, delivery, or shopping order.
Reservations
Make extra money by accepting rides and deliveries that people book in advance.
Tolls

Cancellations
When a rider cancels after you’ve started driving toward them, they're charged a cancellation fee and you're refunded for the inconvenience.
