Family Profile organizer

Cellular companies have the "family plan," and now Uber has "family profiles," in which one person can pay for rides for up 10 family members, friends, or coworkers. The company announced Wednesday that it would be testing the new payment system in Atlanta, Dallas, and Phoenix. The idea came from feedback from riders who wanted a way to consolidate trip payments under one account, Uber says.

Here’s how it works: 

For the Family Profile organizer:

• Make sure you have the latest version of the Uber app.
• Go to Menu and choose Settings.
• Scroll down to “Add a Family Profile” and select the contacts you would like to add.
• As soon as the Family Profile rider accepts the invitation, they can begin requesting rides from their own phone using the Family Profile as their payment method.
• The cost of the trip will automatically be billed to the Family Profile and the organizer will receive a receipt for every ride.

Family Profile rider

For the Family Profile rider:

• Open the email invitation to Family Profiles and accept.
• The first time you ride, make sure you’re using the latest version of the app and choose the Family Profile as your default payment method.
• Once selected, request a ride as you normally would and get moving!

Now you may not need to give ride to your loved ones or to give them your credit card details for their booking.

Good chance to use pending credits in your account, this feature is as good as transferring credits or free rides to others account.

Total Cost of Ownership

This blog is popular among Uber riders and drivers. Both want to know how Uber is making money, how can I (customer) can save on each ride, how can I attach my car with Uber? Will it be profitable? Which car should I buy? and a lot of other questions..

I leave that to you how you judge it or what decision you take after reading this post. Here I am going to give you a tool where you can analyze your based upon your requirements.

Lets see what I am going to explain in coming lines..

1. Should you buy a new Car to office commute for use Uber/Ola?
2. Should I attach my car to Uber/Ola?
3. If answer to Q2 is yes then which car?

This post is going to explain above questions in details with some data so you can decide better. Lets begin with understanding TCO (Total cost of ownership.)

TCO is an estimate of the total cost to own a car for a five year period. It includes all the expenses spent on fuel, insurance, maintenance, repairs, service, interest on loan payments as well as the losses incurred due to depreciation of the car at the end of the same period.

Uber and SBI tie up for instant vehicle financing to drivers

Public sector lender SBI(State Bank of India) has tied up with taxi-aggregator Uber to provide instant vehicle finance to ‘driver-partners’ (See how much Uber drivers are earning) on the latter’s platform.

The scheme would encourage skilled drivers to overcome liquidity crunch and excess documentation requirements to become an entrepreneur.

The loans could be sanctioned in one day using an inbuilt digital offering, and would be collateral free as well as carry a very competitive interest rate.

All loans will be covered under the government’s Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana Scheme, SBI said in a statement.

“The on-demand transportation segment growth has created a whole new ecosystem enabling lakhs of Indians to earn livelihood by becoming micro-entrepreneurs on such platforms,” SBI Chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya said.

“In the process, it has also opened up a new world of opportunities for the banking industry,” she said, adding that one has to go beyond traditional banking to leverage such opportunities.

SBI Managing Director Rajnish Kumar said the new facility would enable drivers to apply for loans at the Uber Partner Centre and get loans sanctioned in one day.

“This is supported by our digitally integrated back-end system, thereby eliminating the long processing time. The partnership with Uber will also help us simplify the documentation requirements thereby eliminating traditional financial statements like income tax returns,” Mr. Kumar said.

Further, he said the product is in-line with SBI’s focus on building a risk mitigated portfolio, which is aimed at significantly improving the customer experience.

Uber is present across 27 cities in the country, more than any other country outside the US. Latest city added to Uber india is Bhopal.

“India is a global market priority for us. In such a short span of time, we’ve got over 2,50,000 driver partners on our platform who have become micro-entrepreneurs today,” Uber Asia Pacific president Eric Alexander said.

The tie-up with SBI would create tens of thousands of micro entrepreneurs, he added.

SBI further said it is exploring opportunities with Uber, including a special scheme for the army men who intend to drive on the Uber platform. Uber pune has several army men driving for Uber already.

Uber India had partnered with the Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO) under the Ministry of Defence to help ex-servicemen transition to civilian life and provide them with entrepreneurial opportunities.
