I did know someone who was doing it earlier this year but he has since quit. He was doing food deliveries not people deliveries

Yeah, I know of someone doing uber eats and a door dasher but the money is in delivering people, I was wondering the pros and cons with it financially and where esle would I start asking questions than an internet site with random people disguising themsleves with all sorts of weird names?

Seems pretty easy to get into https://www.uber.com/au/en/e/drive/adelaide-sa-au/


I wonder if I'd get pillaged tax-wise. Would be pretty easy doing airport runs.

Dunno … but I think your car has to be at most 8 years old, plus I suspect all the costs and liability are on you, plus the insurance hike on your car.

So unless you’ve just got off a plane to first set foot in Australia, or are retired and want to have some spare cash that you don’t want the better half to know about, it's not worth the effort.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Under 5 years for the vehicle. Yeah, the cons probably outweigh the returns. Have thought about it for a few years, just to keep busy after work without spending money.

Also depends how on many you can fit into your white Izuzu.
