Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to Uber or own a car?
It depends on usage. If you drive less than 10,000 miles/year or take fewer than 3-4 trips daily, rideshare may be cheaper. Car ownership is usually cheaper for frequent drivers or suburban/rural residents.
What costs should I include for car ownership?
Include loan payment, insurance, fuel, maintenance, parking, registration, depreciation, and any tolls. Many people underestimate the true monthly cost of owning a car by 30-50%.
