My son talked to both Uber and Lyft, and chose Lyft. He felt the driver compensation was better and the insurance was well handled (it kicks in when you have someone in the car, and not when you don't). At the time, Uber was undergoing some problems with top management as well. Do talk to several services. The schedule is flexible but obviously you have to plan to have one of you on the road at prime times. That means giving up your Saturday night date night and making your dinner hour later during the week so you can drive at rush hour/commuting hours. You definitely have down time while you're out there so plan accordingly. Absolutely have a terrific GPS system in place. If you're using your phone and it's racking up the data charges, factor that into your costs.
