We budget around $350-$400 a month for Uber expenses, mostly for our teenage son to get to work from school, from school home on the days we can’t get him, and just if he wants to meet his friends. That’s still cheaper than even a $200/month reliable car (he’s too big to get into a little car) and car insurance which would easily be $250+ a month for a teenage male. My wife and I could probably come close to breaking even with only one car with me working from home 3 days a week.



Uber doesn't technically allow their drivers to carry your child alone.


I’ve heard that but he’s never had a problem.

On another note if I had a daughter, I would be more careful. I don’t think anyone is going to bother my 6 foot 200 pound son.....
