Is it viable to do Uber flexibly in the US?

In the UK it's not. I looked into it as I'd enjoy driving people about on weekends, and I rarely drink so I could do nights out etc. Assuming you have a car that's suitable, you still need a private hire licence and taxi insurance that make it uneconomical unless you do fairly long hours.

In the US, regulations on Uber are mostly at a state or city level, so in many cities you don’t need that special license, etc (although your regular insurance company won’t be happy if they catch on)
