>https://get.uber.com/cl/xchange/ or just Google it, Uber certainly did begin leasing cars. The lease payments go directly to Uber's subsidiary.

Seems like this discusses "XCHANGE LEASING, LLC", not "Uber Technologies, Inc" or "Uber USA, LLC". I fail to see the relevance.

They aren't




You're right, I was looking at the wrong page: https://get.uber.com/cl/financing/

I still think the primary goal and profit is made on the core driving service, not the leasing program.


XCHANGE LEASING, LLC is owned by Uber, but either way I am sure you still fail to see the relevance.

>They aren't

Maybe you should tell that to the IRS (and a few states) as that is #14 on their 20 factor test.


XCHANGE LEASING, LLC is not directly owned by Uber. However, it's obviously indirectly controlled by them.

The "They aren't" was in reference to the fact that said contractors aren't directly leasing the cars from Uber.
