Which Is Better, Uber X or Uber Black?

I guess the most popular question we receive is which has a larger income, Uber X or Uber Black? Well for us this will really still depend on how efficient your driver is but for real, Uber Black still has the best income opportunities than the Uber X.

Uber X at the moment is doing okay but being saturated with a lot of partners than the passengers (market) it's become harder and harder to at least earn a lot compared to 2 years ago. The incentives for Uber X at the moment are not appealing for some but still driving for an Uber X service can still produce a decent income.

Uber Black at the moment is doing good than before, even when the rate cut was approved it has increased its market yet can be compared much better than the Uber X. The average income per trip for Uber Black in Uber Manila is around P180-220 per trip (for a 2km-4km trip) and that could take around 30 mins of travel time on a rush hour or peak hour trips,

  2. Hi Aries,

    Having an efficient driver is the key to earn in Uber. Since Uber Black has a premium fare + the incentives a partner who's driving a Black service will earn much higher than an X service.

    Yes, you could earn even larger than what we could earn but I guess it's much more complicated to have 2 drivers a day plus this will wear off your vehicle much faster.
