Charging a fee for rides?
The IRS mileage rates are a good guideline for what is fair. They break it down into three rates, for 2013 it's 56.5 cents per mile for business use 24 cents per mile for medical or moving use 14 cents per mile for charitable use Basically, the business use is when your time is of value and you should be paid for your service. The medical or moving use is just for the vehicle, fuel, maintenance, registration and insurance, and you are personally benefiting from the trip. Charitable use is when you are doing the passengers a favor. As you're often also along for the ride in that it's a trip you were going to make anyways, it would probably the medical or moving use category that would be fair. I wouldn't consider your intent of a flat rate of $10 plus a mileage rate particularly in the dollars per mile range as fair compensation for personal vehicle use.
Charging friends for ride to school?
I have a situation where I have a car that I didn't have last semester so I can drive to and from my university when I want so I thought it would make sense for friends to ride along. The thing is, we all took the train last semester and it ended up being more than $600 for the semester. Daily two way tickets at the train cost $14. I wanted to give my friends a ride, but ask them to pay $15 per week. Is that unreasonable? The cost to fuel up for me is $50 every 2 weeks and the cost for a semester parking pass is about $235. I personally don't think it's unreasonable. I do feel like a jerk asking for money to give them rides, but I need to find a way to pay for the stuff anyways. They'd be saving over half of their money compared to what we all spent last semester too. I've asked some of them and they don't want to ride though.
How much i should charge by Giving Someone a Ride?
to determine how much you should charge you need to know how much gas costs in your area, you need to know how many miles per gallon your car gets and you need to know how many miles you are going. lets say your car gets 20 mpg. your friend wants to go 4.6 miles. and gas is $1.45 per gallon. now to make money you need to charge at least 4.6/20 = .23 .23 * 1.45 = 34 cents plus how ever much you wish to make ;] now this formula varies based on your car and the gas price AND the distance. add: Anyway, For the most part unless they're going really far or if the gas prices are really high you don't have to really charge that much to make a profit. That is... If you don't mind change. Anyway the important part is to remember that you never want to charge under or you'll be losing profit. Using the above formula, will give you the Minimum you should charge just to break even.
How does Uber charge for rides?
Uber calculates how much your ride will cost based off the following variables:1) There’s an initial flat-rate fee to pick you up. Basically gets the driver to come pick you up.2) Service fee. For each ride, there is a flat-rate service fee that goes directly to Uber as well. The driver sees none of that in particular.3) You then pay a certain rate per minute (it may vary depending on which car service you selected, for example UberBLACK is more expensive than UberX of course).4) Not only are you paying that small price per minute the entire time you are in the car with your driver, but you are also paying per mile driven. It’s a flat-rate fee again (per minute), but that fee depends on which car service you went with.5) Any optional tips your kind heart decides to give :) (not required).Instead of breaking out the handy-dandy calculator, you can easily see how much any ride will be (for each available car service) here: Uber Fare Estimator & Surge PricesNote: there are also minimum fare thresholds. so don’t hail a ride just to take you across the parking lot haha.Hope that helps!

Is it legal to give rides to people and charge them without having a business license or limo license plates?
Technically, you do need a license to run a lemonade stand; there were a few cases of overzealous governments going after small children for violating it; after much adverse publicity concerning those cases, most places quietly stopping enforcing that law when the person violating it is a small child running a lemonade stand. Also, most places do require street vendors to have licenses, or even prohibit street vending entirely. So, yes, giving rides for money is not much different from street vending or lemonade selling. Driving is different as follows: 1. It is illegal to drive without insurance. 2. When you buy car insurance, you are asked if the car will be used for business. Saying no and then using the car for your own business trips in one thing, but when you are doing it for profit, you are violating your agreement with you car insurance company to make only personal use of the car. When you give a ride to a friend, you (should) charge only for expenses (gas, oil, tires, repairs, depreciation, insurance, etc.) and not try to make a profit. When you give a ride to a stranger, you are (probably) trying to make a profit by charging more than your expenses. That is a difference.
Why do some Uber drivers charge a booking fee while some don’t? What is a booking fee for?
Uber drivers dont charge anything. The fees/money are charged by Uber themselves. A driver has no control whatsoever over what the ride cost. We do not set prices we do not have a say in what is charged.Uber sets the price. Uber takes 20/25% (depending when driver signed up) off the top. Uber sets the booking fee (different fee in different cities). Here in Philly for Uber X, express pool, & pool is 2.00 to 2.20 per ride, XL is 2.50/2.60. If dropping off or picking up at the airport fee there is another feeof 2.00. Then there is a fee for “other" that is different on every ride. Ranges between .10 and .99. So as you can see the driver gets more than 20/25% of that fare taken by Uber. The booking fee used to be called “safe ride" fee. It's supposed to be used for background checks, insurance, and app upgrades (at least thats what I've read). It goes on drivers taxes as income although we actually never see it. This is the reason why drivers are depending more & hoping to get tips. More than 25% sometimes up to 35/40% of fare goes to Uber. On the new surge, driver may make an extra 10.00 for example but Uber is pocketing a great deal more. That is coming out of riders pocket going directly to Uber. Uber isnt being as transparent as they claim. They know riders & drivers dont discuss their fare with each other so they get away with it.As far as charging for some rides and not others I can say I always have it taken out of my rides. Never not seen it taken out. Unfortunately cant say why that happened. If its not taken out on a ride consider yourself lucky and dont question it.

Why does Uber charge a fee to split the fare?
Quite simply because they can! It’s a convenience fee. It might cost them marginally more to charge two different people but the 50 cent fee is almost all profit. I’ve had 8 or 9 dollar rides split 3 ways between students so Uber makes an extra 1.50 on that ride with little extra work. It’s really no different than an ATM fee, banks charge it because they can.
What would happen if theme parks charged by the ride instead of requiring a general admission fee?
They did, sort of. As David mentioned, Disneyland used tickets to charge people by the ride; before the famous ticket books came about, you paid by the attraction in addition to paying your $1 general admission fee. Knott's Berry Farm did too, in the days before they put up a fence around the property. Some of the smaller amusement parks still do. The reason Disney gave up on charging admission in favor of ticket books is that people felt they were being forced to pull out their wallets too often, which ruined the guest experience, and encouraged guests to skip attractions that didn't sound as exciting as others. I'm sure that when amusement parks when to one admission price instead of coupon booklets, some of the same thoughts encouraged the switch. I supect that if the major operators went back to charging per attraction, they'd end up fostering some of the ill will that Disney encountered when they used to charge for admission in addition to the general admission fee (and you'd better believe they'd continue to charge some kind of general admission fee, or the price per attraction needed to keep things up would be ridiculous). The smaller attractions would probably see fewer guests - why blow your money on the Fantasyland dark rides when you can spend it on a couple more rides on the newest headline attraction? Then the parks would have to spend extra money for ticket takers, ticket sellers, people or machines counting tickets used... well, you can see all the potential disadvantages.
