Yango Pro operates the same way no matter where you are in Colombia. So, the factors that affect your earnings are the same too:

• Time of day. Rush hours and weekends tend to see a lot of activity, which means more bookings for you.
• Location. Certain areas, such as the districts of El Poblado, can have higher rates by default. Since the residents in the area are richer, they’re likely to use ride booking services.
• Customer satisfaction.. Happy customers are more likely to tip. And because the city has a huge expat community with significant purchasing power, trips in Medellín can be more profitable.

For your net earnings, take into account fuel prices as well as the cost of maintenance and repairs. Crude oil is generally the same everywhere in Colombia. However, with the cost of living increasing in Medellín, the upkeep of your vehicle can get a little bit more expensive.

Yango app. We have many partner fleets in the city, such as Transporte Logistico Sas, Carga Paramo Medellin, and Yego Medellin. By partnering up with them, you’ll be able to enjoy the following perks:

• Be a driver without a car. You don’t need to subject yourself to such a heavy investment if you’re not financially ready. Instead, you can rent a vehicle from a Yango partner so you can start earning right away.
• Shared responsibility. It’s not just all on you. Partners will help you with any administrative issues and requirements so that you can focus on just driving.
• Limited commitment. If you’re not completely sure about the viability of driving in the long run, this lets you test out the waters. Since you didn’t invest in anything, there’s no pressure to keep working as a rider if you’re not happy.
