Summary
The app driver business can offer good financial returns, but requires a time commitment and a balance between earnings and operational costs.
As 2025 begins, many people are looking for alternative ways to increase their income and the app driver business appears as a viable option, attractive for the flexibility of hours and the possibility of significant earnings. A survey conducted by GigU, formerly known as StopClub, reveals interesting data on the incomes of these workers in several Brazilian capitals.
In large cities such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo there is the possibility of making considerable annual revenues. In RJ, for example, earnings are, on average, R$86,400 per year for those who work approximately 54 hours per week. After discounting operating costs, of which R$24,600 is spent on fuel alone, the annual net profit is approximately R$39,600.
In SP, the scenario is even more advantageous with an average annual income reaching R$102,800 for working 60 hours per week. Even with higher costs, the net profit reaches R$51,000 per year.
Even in other capitals such as Brasilia, Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre the numbers are positive, but vary depending on the particularities of each city. In the first, the average is R$6.4 thousand per month, with a net profit of R$2.4 thousand per month and R$29 thousand per year. The workload is approximately 50 hours per week, considered a balance between dedication time and financial return.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, workers earn around R$7,700 per month, with a net profit of R$3,500 per month. In Porto Alegre, the average monthly revenue is R$7,300, with a net profit of R$3,100 per month, both with operating expenses of approximately R$4,000 per month.
The numbers indicate that the activity of the app driver, despite requiring a considerable time commitment, can offer a good economic return, especially in large urban centers. It is also important to consider the operational costs involved, such as fuel and vehicle maintenance, which represent an important part of earnings, especially in cities with a higher cost of living and greater labor intensity.
“Our investigation shows that these workers have the opportunity to earn good money, but they also face high operating costs. The key to success is how you manage time and costs. Flexible hours and the ability to work more or fewer hours, depending on demand, are the main attractions of this profession. Our platform has provided support for drivers to optimize their journey, plan their working hours and maximize their earnings,” says CEO Luiz Gustavo Neves.
For anyone considering entering this profession, it is necessary to understand the balance between earnings and costs. While the business may be a good alternative for those looking to increase their income at the start of the year, drivers should be aware that good planning and efficient management of time and operating expenses will be required to achieve consistent profits. . Therefore, the profession can be a great option for those looking for flexibility and additional income.
