We all want to make extra money now and then. I can confess I have done some ride-sharing before for some extra cash and it isn’t bad. I was able to meet some great people and make some cash doing it.
But if you have done any rideshare before you know how much car repairs and wear and tear you have done to your vehicle after giving rides all day. So I want to know which vehicles are the best to do rideshare with and why.
The vehicles are not only based on fuel efficiency but the design(because no one likes riding in a junker) and the amount of maintenance required. So let’s dive deeper and see if we can find some great vehicles.

In Conclusion
From looking at all of these models, there is some fierce competition out there. But when I am looking at rideshare, I look for one thing, and that is fuel mileage.
With the wear and tear that happens to your vehicle, you at least want to save some money by having a vehicle that has a terrific fuel economy.
Then you also want a comfortable ride so your passengers can be relaxed and comfortable with their ride. The more comfortable they are, the more they will be open to tipping you at the end of the ride.
Take that into consideration when choosing your vehicle. I was impressed by a few on the list, how automotive models have changed over the years!
The prices for an oil change, tire rotation, and tire change are based on Wal-Mart prices at the Wal-Mart auto center. This was the quickest way to get tire and maintenance work while I was doing rideshare.
