LEASING IS CHEAPER - From autoline daily
'Paying for your mobility as you need it might be the wave of the future. But right now leasing a car is cheaper. It all depends on how much you drive. A recent article from Medium.com says you would pay about $12,700 using Uber if you drove 9,500 miles a year. But according to SwapALease.com, it would be much cheaper to lease a car, about $4,800 a year in lease payments, over $1,300 a year in fuel (assuming gas is $3.50 a gallon), around $1,300 for insurance and about $350 for maintenance. That brings the lease total to about $7,800. So if you drive 9,500 miles or more a year, you’d save nearly five grand if you lease your car instead of using Uber.'
It all depends on your situation. If you pay parking fees, if you don't drive many miles, if you are a high insurance risk, if you don't have a driver's license,.....there are a lot of ways where using Uber could be less expensive.

Work and school are not casual destinations. You could if you had a long-standing agreement for a driver to be there every day to drive to and from your daily destinations.six wrote:Do people really commute with Uber??
Mebbe it would be like long-term rental of a hotel room and they'd give you some sorta discount for being a regular customer.
