What drivers are paid
Officially, transport & logistics averages about 11.07 million som per month (H1 2026), and it was among the fastest-growing sectors (+22.8% year on year).
The real picture depends on the type of driving. Ride-hailing ads in Tashkent promise up to about 450,000 som per day — but that is turnover: fuel, platform commission and car wear come out of it, and net income depends heavily on hours and whether the car is yours. Fixed-salary corporate, delivery-van and personal drivers usually see lower headline numbers with no vehicle costs. Long-haul and special-equipment drivers command a premium.
How much a taxi driver earns per day in Tashkent
Yandex Go, which dominates ride-hailing in Uzbekistan, published an average monthly driver income of about 10.2 million som as of November 2025, and said drivers’ average hourly income from rides grew 21% over the year. That is the only large published figure for the platform, and it is income from rides — fuel, platform commission and fleet fees are paid out of it.
People usually search for this per day rather than per month. There is no official daily figure, so the honest arithmetic is to divide: at 22 to 26 working days, 10.2 million som a month works out to roughly 390,000–460,000 som a day of gross earnings. That lines up closely with the up-to-450,000-som-a-day figures taxi ads in Tashkent quote — so the ads are not far off, as long as you read them as turnover and not take-home.
What comes out of that turnover is the whole question: fuel, the platform’s commission, a fleet fee if you drive through a partner park, and wear on the car if it is yours. Drivers using their own vehicle carry all of it; drivers on a fleet car trade a slice of income for not carrying the repair risk.
What moves a driver’s income
- format — taxi turnover vs fixed corporate salary are different economics
- whose vehicle — driving your own car shifts fuel and repairs onto you
- hours — ride-hailing income scales with time behind the wheel
- category and cargo — trucks, buses and special equipment pay above light vehicles
