An Australian Uber driver has revealed how he makes close to $2,000 a week all from the comfort of his own car.

Callan Double, a 22-year-old from Brisbane known on TikTok as That Uber Driver, has shared a series of videos detailing his earnings while encouraging others to give rideshare driving a shot.

He said when he first started picking up passengers he earned more than $1,800 in his very first week. 

On another week where he spent 63 hours behind the wheel, Mr Double earned $2,980 while in one month the 22-year-old pocketed a whopping $8,500.

His TikToks have gained close to 200,000 views from many intrigued to know how much money an average Uber driver can take home.

Mr Double said he likes the gig because it allows him to be his own boss and requires no qualifications.

Many pointed out that some of his weekly wages would have to go towards tax and fuel, to which the driver said he puts aside around 15 to 30 per cent for.

From one week’s earning of $1,888, the 22-year-old spent just over $250 on petrol. 

‘I do have a lot of tax write-offs so I do take the majority home with me,’ he said.

‘Fuel is tax deductible and you can claim GST credits as well.’

Mr Callan said another tip was that he starts driving at around 4am where there isn’t many other drivers around, and sticks to peak hours.
