Pros

Make your own hours. No boss or annoying coworkers. Great if you're a people person. Great if you have a disability, no walking, lifting 70 lbs, etc. No Physical exam. If you're a hustler, you can make okay money.

Cons

Passengers can (and do) make up complaints about you in order to get free rides. The high cost of gas. One accident or breakdown or complaint, then what happens to your income? Poof.
