🗣️ Real Houston Driver Experiences
R
Rosa, Katy Driver
"Houston heat is brutal but the money is worth it. I make $28-32/hr during summer because many drivers quit. Key is good A/C and lots of water. The Woodlands blocks are gold - rich people tip extra when it's 100°F outside."
Summer Avg: $29/hr | Winter Avg: $22/hr | Best Zone: The Woodlands
M
Miguel, Southwest Houston Driver
"Hurricane Harvey taught me to watch the weather. When storms hit, Amazon Flex pays surge rates up to $45/hr. I made $1,200 in three days after the storm. Just stay safe and avoid flood zones."
Storm Week: $1,200 | Normal: $850/week | Hours: 35/week
