Driver FAQ

Rideshare driver questions about offer analysis, costs, and take-home.

Bruber is built for drivers who need to understand an offer quickly, without pretending the gross fare is the full picture.

Offer Analysis

How accurate is the take-home estimate?

As accurate as your settings. Bruber applies your fuel cost, MPG, maintenance estimate, depreciation, and tax rate to each offer. The more precisely you enter your actual costs, the closer the estimate is to your real number. Bruber uses the word "estimated" throughout — it is decision support, not a guarantee. Learn more about rideshare driver costs.

Does Bruber count dead miles?

Dead-mile risk depends on offer data visible at the moment of the offer. Bruber factors in what it can see — pickup distance, trip distance, destination area — and applies your cost settings to those numbers. Destination quality and likely repositioning are part of the pattern intelligence you build over time, not always calculable per offer in real time.

How hard is the floating button to set up?

About five minutes. Bruber walks you through it during onboarding. If you get stuck, pilot support responds directly — this is a small pilot, not a help desk. Most drivers have it running before their next shift.

Costs And Platform Access

Is Bruber telling me which offers to take?

No. Your green, yellow, and red zones are based on thresholds you set. Bruber shows how an offer compares to your settings. The decision is yours.

Does Bruber connect to my rideshare account?

No. Bruber works from saved offer records and the cost settings you provide. No platform login. No account access. No scraping.

Does Bruber guarantee I'll earn more?

No. Bruber shows estimated take-home, $/hr, $/mi, and patterns over time. What you do with that information is your decision. The goal is to make real take-home from rideshare offers easier to see before you accept.

Why does Bruber ask for my costs?

Because your real take-home depends on your specific car, your fuel price, your mileage, and your tax situation — not an industry average. Generic defaults produce generic estimates. Your numbers produce estimates you can actually use.

Pilot Access

Who can request Bruber access right now?

Bruber is currently reviewing iPhone drivers in the SF Bay Area for the private pilot. Full-time and part-time drivers can request access.
