Have you ever wondered how much Uber and Lyft's drivers can make in a single ride?
In this post, you will get to see my top 10 Uber and Lyft rides of 2017.
All of the rides you will see where made capable because of surge (Uber) and Lyft (primetime). Surge/primetime are pricing algorithm systems that compares rider demand to driver supply. When there is a high demand for Uber and Lyft drivers prices per fare increase to 2x, 3x and sometimes more.
I have provided the surge/primetime rate in each of the rides below plus other information as well.
If you personally have any bigger rides than me, feel free to post them in the comment section. I know many Uber and Lyft drivers have huge rides and I would love to see them.
