Referring drivers to Uber could make you earn in lakhs

If you are good at judging someone on the basis of their driving skills, Uber could make you earn in lakhs in the form of referral commissions. All you have to do is to help the cab aggregator find competent drivers, for which you would be paid a decent sum, which could go up to in lakhs.

It was about 11 months ago that Uber had faced a shortage of drivers, because of which it decided to start a programme, called UberDost, under which it monetarily rewards people who refer good drivers to the company.

The program is currently run in three cities, viz. Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad. While in Bengaluru the referral bonus is Rs 5,000, in Mumbai and Hyderabad one can earn Rs 3,000 per successful referral, which is when the driver completes 60 trips with the company.

"We are in a hyper growth environment and wanted to find strategic partners who can help us scale our supply," said Nikhil Goel, product manager, international growth, Uber, "At the same time, several tour and travel companies are suffering because everything's moving online. They have a network of professional commercial drivers, and with this new platform, they can refer them to us."
