The Rideshare Gold Standard: Why the Gen 4 Prius is the Ultimate Earner at Drive It Pro
Gen 4: The “Workhorse” of the Gig Economy
Why do you see so many Priuses on the road? Because they are more than just cars—they are profit-generating machines for rideshare and gig drivers. This generation of Toyota’s hybrid vehicles release made driving more comfortable, offered more stability, quieter, while still improving its fuel economy to over 50 mpg. With all of this in mind, you can rest assured that this vehicle is not only cost effective and more comfortable, the Gen 4 Prius is a very suitable choice to gain your independence, without breaking the bank, to earn a living as a rideshare and/or delivery driver on one or multiple platforms like Uber, Instacart and Lyft.
The first version of the Gen 4 Prius was produced from 2016, with the introduction of Toyota’s TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform. The TNGA helped refine the hybrid system, lowered the center of gravity to better the stability, control and make the ride smoother and quieter. In addition, modern technology added safety, better infotainment options and still improved fuel efficiency to average out to 50-54 mpg and maintain reliability for the Gen 4 Prius.
When you add it all up, it is no surprise that we here at Drive It Pro continue to add more and more Gen 4 Prius models to our fleet, to provide our customers with the reliability and fuel efficiency they are looking for, without having to sacrifice their customer’s comfort or safety. And not only do we have 2 locations to choose from, both have their own garages, with a crew of hybrid mechanics to ensure that you can maintain your Gen 4 Prius or have it repaired as quickly and conveniently as possible, so you will be back on the road in no time!
Fuel Efficiency: Turning Gas Savings into Take-Home Pay
The Gen 4 Prius averages an impressive 50 – 54 mpg for drivers. In addition, hybrid vehicles actually get better gas mileage with city driving rather than highway driving. This is due to the Gen 4 Prius (and other hybrids) engine shutting off when stopped at traffic lights or in heavy traffic. Which is more efficient in multiple ways, including fuel consumption.
The Toyota Corolla sedan achieves up to 35 mpg (with city being 32 mpg / highway 41 mpg). Please refer to the table below with some other popular vehicles leased for rideshare rentals and compare the savings when you rent a Gen 4 Prius.
There are a lot of car rental companies that offer rideshare rentals, but Drive It Pro is the only one that specializes in hybrid rentals. Because Drive It Pro understands that a driver’s primary focus is to drive a fuel efficient vehicle that has minimal down time, like the Toyota Prius Gen 4, and turn driving time into the most cash possible in your pocket!

With this model’s improved suspension and lower center of gravity compared to the previous Gen 2 or Gen 3, this car has better handling, more stability and a dramatically more comfortable ride/drive, even after a 10-hour shift of rideshare pick-ups and/or deliveries.
To complete this amazing package of the Toyota Prius Gen 4, in 2018 they added the Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P), which is an active safety system. This includes sensors to detect pedestrian crossing, lane-departure alert with steering assist, auto high beams, that adjust when needed for oncoming traffic or the traffic around you, and cruise control and radar technology to keep the distance you desire between you and vehicles in front of you. All are designed to assist in the safest travel possible for you and your passengers.
