I'm not talking about wife swapping that sort of thing. I'm talking about some enterprising women who will perform some or all of the wife functions for you for a fee. Sounds familiar?
After some groundbreaking research corresponding to a few of the new wave of rideshare drivers, I can conclude that both professions have a lot in common. It's hard to say how many people have done wifeshare or understand it correctly. But anybody knows somebody who has done rideshare.
Almost anybody can do rideshare. You are your own boss and it's up to you how to treat your customers. The money is instant, almost right after the ride. You can pick your own hours and how long you want to work.
The money isn't bad, depending on locations. If you are willing to work more and in more risky locations, you can catch up with the best. But one thing drivers either dread or overlook is depreciation of the car. The depreciation curve is very deep initially that the standard mileage deduction misrepresents. You have to make it worthwhile if your car is relatively new. Because once you run up some mileage, your car isn't resellable any more.
Normally you cannot pick clients. If you don't want to take drunk, smelly passengers, you will be out of business very soon.
You can provide only exclusive limo style rides. But that's a constant struggle. You are competing with the other limo drivers with limited clientele.
As for the luxury sedan / SUV providers, they very often have to take whatever customers they have, rather than waiting idly for the better-paid ones. They are in it for the money, not sitting all day.
Now, does it really matters for customers getting from A to B what ride they are on? Not really, as long as they get to their end happily. The real picky ones and the wealthy ones will have their own cars or collections. They may need a ride once in a blue moon but they aren't the bread and butter types.
Some may feel better if the car looks nice, smell clean, and the driver is courteous. But few would refuse the ride when it arrives; it's more important to get to the endpoint when you need it. Also, the platforms make sure that information is not ideally available. You just have a poor profile picture to go on, with a general description of the ride and some dubious ratings.
