Hey there, Real People of the Internet!

In our latest YouTube video, we tackled a hot topic that’s on the minds of many Uber drivers in Kenya: Can Uber drivers earn more in Mombasa than Nairobi? If you haven’t watched it yet, check it out here before diving into this blog post for the full scoop!

The Great City Showdown: Mombasa vs. Nairobi

First, let’s talk about the unique characteristics of each city. Nairobi, the bustling capital, is known for its heavy traffic, high demand for rides, and a fast-paced lifestyle. On the other hand, Mombasa, with its laid-back coastal vibe, offers a more relaxed environment, fewer traffic jams, and a steady stream of tourists year-round.

Earnings Breakdown

We interviewed several Uber drivers from both cities to get real-world insights into their earnings. Here’s what we found:

1. Nairobi Drivers:
   • Average Earnings: Ksh 2,500 to Ksh 4,000 per day
   • Peak Hours: Early morning and evening rush hours
   • Major Costs: Higher fuel prices and vehicle maintenance due to heavy traffic
2. Mombasa Drivers:
   • Average Earnings: Ksh 2,000 to Ksh 10,500 per day
   • Peak Hours: Mid-morning and evening, especially during tourist season
   • Major Costs: Lower fuel prices but potentially fewer rides compared to Nairobi

Cost of Living and Expenses

One key factor affecting net earnings is the cost of living. Nairobi is significantly more expensive than Mombasa in terms of rent, food, and general expenses. This means that even if drivers in Nairobi earn slightly more, their disposable income might be less than their counterparts in Mombasa.

Quality of Life

Earnings aren’t the only consideration. Many drivers in Mombasa reported a better work-life balance, less stress, and more leisure time due to the city’s slower pace and less chaotic traffic conditions. This could be a deciding factor for those who prioritize quality of life over maximum earnings.

Conclusion: Who Comes Out on Top?

So, can Uber drivers earn more in Mombasa than Nairobi? It really depends on what you’re looking for. If higher daily earnings and more ride requests are your top priorities, Nairobi might be the better choice. However, if you value a lower cost of living and a more relaxed lifestyle, Mombasa could be the winner for you.
