What is Uber Black?

Released on 5th January, 2016: This press release is for entrepreneurs and commercial drivers looking at cashing into this Uber craze. 
If you are an experienced commercial driver or an Entrepreneur looking into starting an Uber Business, this press release is for you. Are you an entrepreneur or do you have the entrepreneurial bug? Have you seen a decline in the volume of rides you typically get in your livery business? Are you frustrated with these amateur drivers that have taken passenger share from you? Have you asked yourself “how much do Uber drivers make”?  If you answered yes to all or most of these questions- Uber also has a service that is for you- it is called Uber Black. (Uber Black cars are luxury cars that are black in color and approved for the Uber black program).

Through the Uber business model, Uber offers Uber partners and drivers, all they need to start making money on their Uber Black platform within 2 weeks of signing up: After that, Uber black partners get pickup requests directly from their customers via their GPS enabled Smartphone app (with the uber app downloaded on it).

About the Uber Black program, you guessed it- the Uber Black program requires an Uber Black car. As long as the Uber black car(s) is/are clear for commercial/livery service, and you are a licensed commercial driver or an Entrepreneur with a stable of commercially licensed drivers, you should consider the Uber Black program. See our blog post here for sample uber black cars.

It is pretty easy to become an Uber partner, all you need to do is signup here. In our blog post (see link below), we also have an infographic that details the specific steps needed to become an uber driver:  http://www.uberkit.net/blog/become-an-uber-driver/. Albeit, the post is for UberX drivers, it covers most of the key requirements (other than the commercial licensing/livery requirements which you are probably already familiar with).

Any commercially licensed car driver (in most cities) with an approved car can become an Uber driver. In addition to getting an approved car, also knowing which car to get is important: This can make all the difference between making a profit, or making very little money. In our blog posts below we have analyzed over 1200 cars that are Uber approved (for most cities):
