How much can you make with Nails2U?
The money you earn through the Driver app is based on what, where, when, and how often you drive.

When you’re driving
Choosing the best days and times to go online can make a huge difference—and it varies by city. For example, you might consider going online during commute times for rides and mealtimes for delivery.
How much time

How are earnings calculated?
There are 3 key factors that impact your payouts: fares from the trips themselves, promotions that offer extra cash, and tips from people you pick up or deliver to.
It all starts with fares
Fares are the amount you earn for completing a ride, delivery, or shopping order. These differ depending on your region or city.

In some cities, you’ll earn a base fare, plus additional money for the time and distance you travel (these rates vary by city)
Your earnings will be determined at the end of every trip, based on how long and how far you travel
