A comment on The Hidden Costs of Being an Uber Driver.
* Driving around when you'd normally be at home, to be in a position for fares
* Driving only to have ride cancelled
* Bottled water/mints/etc (I've seen these in a few Ubers)
* Toll tags (though I've had an Uber detour when the most direct route directed them through a toll road)
* Most drivers seem to prefer dedicated GPS to one built into Uber app, so there's that cost if they choose to take it on.
* Uber drivers tend to keep car cleaner than usual driver, so time/money for that.
