Does Uber pay van drivers more money since they hold more people? Van doesn't make sense unless it makes more money based on the extra capacity.

FYI- Oregon doesn't have any incentives for vehicle purchases of any type.

To maximize profits and minimize expense, something like a 2008 Prius would be best. It's only a grand more expensive than the same year Corolla. Go into super saver mode to build up the additional $1,500 you'll need to get one.

You could always get something like a 2008 Chevy Aveo or Hyundai Elantra. I'd probably choose the Elantra over the Aveo, because nobody is going to be happy getting picked up in the crappiest car allowed by Uber.
