Moms Who Drive for Uber or Lyft: Take Our Survey on the Work

Flexibility Around Parenting

Driving for Uber and Lyft can appeal to mothers seeking income outside a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. The work may fit around school drop-offs, childcare, and other parenting obligations.

However, the flexibility is not the same for everyone. Some drivers say they need to work at particular times to match when passengers are most likely to need rides.

Earnings And Expenses

For some mothers, ride-hailing provides a way to bring in extra money as childcare and college costs rise. Whether the work pays enough depends in part on how much they earn through the apps.

Drivers also have to manage expenses such as gas and car maintenance. Those costs can affect how much money they keep from the work.

Mothers Asked To Share

Business Insider is seeking input from mothers who drive for Uber, Lyft, or other ride-hailing apps. It wants to hear how they balance driving with caring for their children. The survey asks about both the parts of the work that are going well and the parts that are not.
