We've been receiving a lot of emailnlately and we haven't responded with them yet. We are a bit busy creating strategies for the current incentives as you all know, the incentives are a bit on the low side so we needed to adjust forst and focus in order for us to expand (we already hve 2 vehicles in the USA).



So this article will answer the question "is it still good to start your own Uber Philippines business?". Well, this will really depend on two things. First will rely on your business plan and second will depend on your driver.

Those two are important and as we always advise, make sure that you have a budget that can sustain at least three months in advance of your operating expenses. In order for you to create a better strategy for your business goals you need to have a peace of mind.

If you lose one of those thing, you'll probabbly facing a much more challenging and stressful business experience.

So is it still good? Yes, but to be honest the current position is on the low side, but hey we are not discouraging you but there are a lot of issues that Uber still needs to face.

So does Uber still accept new partners? Yes, even if they accept a lot of new partners only 2% of continue. So that's a 100% positive that Uber can still accomodate you.

Some fail on this kind of business because they don't have a right business strategy to begin with. So before you join make sure you already have a plan and strategy as we can tell you right now based on our experience for doing Uber since the start, this type of business is pretty damn hard to do.

If you still want to join then no worries we can help you out. We will provide you tips and necessary info to make sure you start on the right track all you have to do is Join Uber (this is our invite link) and email us at tudmanila@gmail.com so we could help you out and will answer all of your question.

We are receiving a lot of email regarding the opex or operational expenses in Uber Philippines. Some of them were really surprised as the income is much more lower than what they had expected and there are many various reasons for it but the main point is the opex.

What are the expenses that you need to keep in mind?

Gasoline expense. The real cost of gasoline per week will definitely depend on how efficient your driver is and also what type of vehicle you have in your fleet. A usual 1.6 L vehicle could accumulate an expense of up to P3000 - P5000 a week and a 1.3 L vehicle could accumulate an expense of up to P2700 - P4500 a week depending on the efficiency of the driver.

Vehicle Battery. Most of the partners aren't aware about the battery expense especially if the vehicle is new. You must know that the battery that comes with yhe new vehicle is just good for at least 6 months to a year, it is not a heavy duty and since you will use the vehicle more than 8 hours on the road non stop, the battery will wear off the soonest. Having a heavy duty battery may cost around P8000 and up but hey it's really a good investment for a maintenance free battery that would last at least 2 years.

Vehicle Maintenance. Since your vehicle will be running at least 100-250km a day you should know that periodic maintenance will be sooner than what is stated on the vehicle manual. PMS is very important to make sure that your vehicle is on a top condition to provide service with passengers. PMS costs may vary from dealership and brands, so better ask your dealer for a quitation in advance so you could prepare before hand.

Vehicle Cleanliness. This is really optional if you have a lot of time to clean the vehicle yourself. We do it at least once or twice a week to cost cut some expenses. Vehicle cleanliness is also very important on this kind of business, well if you don't have much time on your hand you must be ready to shed out at least 320 a week for car wash.

Food Allowance. If you are an operator this could be an optional matter and will depend on the contract with your driver. But for those who are driving their own, you should keep in mind to at least ready around 200-300 for food allowance, water drinks and etc.

Mobile Data and Communication. Since Uber is a technology based business, you should keep in mind the cost for mobile data and communication. This will range from P100 to P150 a week depending on your preferred mobile network.

Conclusion on Operating Expenses in Uber Philippines

There are a lot more of them, i think it would be safe to say that you should have at least a month or three worth of emergency fund for the opex. As you all know, starting on this business is really hard, you need to put a lot of effort, hard work and business strategy in order to survive before becoming stable.
