Comment on Uber Strikes Deal To Lower The Cost Of Car Ownership For Drivers

Comments

"Kalanick said drivers could expect to save anywhere from $100 to $200 on monthly payments, depending on the make and model of the car they’re buying."

I'm not from the US, so don't have an idea of car ownership costs, but is this that big a deal?

It's a little difficult to say for sure, there's not enough information in the article to judge (e.g. No info on lease length) Since it is in effect a structured loan, any advantage is better expressed in terms of interest rate improvements over a non-Uber lease.
