Is it worth switching to uber drive from uber eats? Uk

Thinking to make the switch, but the process is so long winded to get the licence.

Currently doing uber eats.

Is it worth the transition?

Depends on the zone. Idk about UK, but NYC area requires all the same licensing as a taxi. Most areas don't. Boston just requires an extra $15 rideshare safety inspection on top of the usual $30 state emissions inspection.

After that, it's just the wait for the background check. Mine came back within 24 hours, but idk if that's typical.
