To entice drivers to work for Uber, the company took out Craiglist ads promising an hourly rate of $21 in Chicago, a rate that less than 20% of drivers made.
In addition to the inflated hourly rates and median incomes advertised, the FTC says Uber offered to connect drivers with the “best financing options available” through its Vehicle Solutions Program, but didn’t exactly do that.
“Uber failed to control or monitor the terms and conditions of the auto financing agreements through its program and in fact, its drivers received worse rates on average than consumers with similar credit scores typically would obtain,” said the FTC in a press release. “In addition, Uber claimed its drivers could receive leases with unlimited mileage through its program when in fact, the leases came with mileage limits.”
