Taxi
The service is in demand, so you can earn decent money. Even considering the competition. The easiest way to start working as a taxi driver is to conclude an agreement with the dispatch service and receive orders through a mobile application. Today, thousands of people work this way. You will need a smartphone and a GPS navigator (even the old-timers of megacities do not know all the streets). Some services require the installation of a taximeter.
The dispatch service charges a fixed fee or a percentage of the order for its services. At first, when it turns out to make few trips in a day, it is more profitable to calculate with percentages. With the growth of the client base, you can switch to a fixed fee: it will be several times less than 2-3% of all orders.
To always have customers, conclude an agreement with several dispatch services at once.
Another option is to work as a taxi driver officially. To do this, you need to register as an individual entrepreneur and obtain a license. Here you have to pay monthly tax. It does not give anything but additional costs, so at first it does not make sense. You can fine a taxi driver for driving without a license only if you put a disguised policeman in his car. Such cases are rare.
Standing on the curbs is now unprofitable. Most people have already realized that calling a taxi by phone is cheaper. The Internet is available everywhere, and even a tourist in an unfamiliar city can easily find local service numbers or use the application.

Personal driver

Of course, it is necessary to observe subordination, be polite, monitor the cleanliness and technical condition of the vehicle.
The higher the salary, the more requirements.

Work implies an irregular schedule: you may have to go for a person in the early morning or at night. The key factor is the relationship with the employer. If they are close to friendly, then the work will bring both money and pleasure.
Pros:
Rental for celebrations
Executive class cars are difficult to rent in a taxi or a carrier company due to the high price and expensive maintenance. Such a car will be more in demand at weddings and holidays. For a couple of hours of such a rental, it’s really possible to earn more than in a taxi for the whole day. Less mileage will be a bonus.
Clients are not easy to find, so at first you should not count on daily employment. To attract customers, you can use all available means: the Internet, printing, leaflets in registry offices (you can offer employees of the establishment a percentage for advertising).

Joint trips
If you often travel from one city to another, you can take travel companions with you to help cover travel expenses and even earn some money. To search for passengers, it is convenient to use special services, where you only need to register, indicate information about yourself and the planned route of the trip.
Unlike random fellow travelers on the highway, in such services the risk of running into dubious personalities is minimized. Each user has their own rating and reviews, which you can view and decide whether to take a person or not.
Pros:
Driving instruction
You can work as a driving instructor both for hire and on your own. In any case, a proven driving experience of at least 3 years is required.
According to the traffic rules, the basic provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, the training car must be equipped with redundant clutch and brake pedals, as well as an additional rear-view mirror for the instructor. You can install all this at a large service station. The training vehicle must be clearly visible in the general traffic, driving is prohibited without the inscription "Training" and triangular stickers with the letter "U" in front and behind. Casco will protect against losses in the event of an accident when a student is driving. Responsibility in this case lies entirely with the instructor, so it will not be possible to claim compensation.
In the case of a device in a driving school, all the trouble to find customers falls on her. The workload can be different (usually less in winter), and the schedule is flexible.
If you work on your own, you will have to look for clients. This can be done without large investments: social networks, printed publications, business cards. It is useful to find out the prices for private driving lessons and at first put them a little below the market average.
More and more students prefer automatic transmission, so with mechanics it will be more difficult to find their customers.
With a constant flow of students, a private instructor earns more than a driving school instructor, while having a part-time job. Learning to drive, like any other, requires endurance, the ability to explain and encourage in an accessible way. Knowledge of the basics of psychology is also useful.

Auto assistance
Not all drivers are able to independently recognize the malfunction and fix the car, especially in emergency situations. If you are well versed in cars, a good way to make money would be to provide technical assistance on the road. The easiest way to find clients is to use message boards.
With a set of tools and parts, you can easily perform minor repairs such as tire fitting, lighting a car with a dead battery, and other problems, and in extreme cases, towing cars to the nearest service. People do not miss the opportunity to save money, and car assistance services will cost much less than calling a tow truck.
Pros:
Advertising on the car
The easiest source of passive income. It is enough to stick advertising images or inscriptions and drive around the city, for which the advertiser pays. The amount depends on the covered area.
The main requirement is a certain mileage every day, because the more the car drives, the more people will see the advertisement. But this does not mean that you have to sit behind the wheel from morning to night. Some advertisers set the rate as low as 30 km.
Pros:
Some of these methods can actually be combined. For example, work in a taxi and service of festive events. Advertising on cars and renting are among the sources of passive income and allow you to receive money without breaking away from your main activity. Choose any convenient option depending on your skills, employment and desire.
