Driver salary in Uzbekistan (2026)
The official transport & logistics sector average in Uzbekistan is about 10.7 million som per month (Q1 2026) — one of the faster-growing sectors (+22.5% year on year). Taxi ads in Tashkent promise up to ~450,000 som per day, but that is gross revenue before fuel, commission and car costs; corporate and personal drivers on fixed salaries typically earn less than the headline taxi numbers but keep all of it.
What drivers are paid
Officially, transport & logistics averages about 10.7 million som per month (Q1 2026), and it was among the fastest-growing sectors (+22.5% 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.
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

How much does a driver earn in Uzbekistan?
The official transport & logistics average is about 10.7 million som per month (Q1 2026). Taxi ads promise up to ~450,000 som per day gross, before fuel and commission; fixed-salary drivers typically earn less but with no vehicle costs.
Is 450,000 som a day for taxi drivers realistic?
That is advertised gross revenue on busy full-time days — fuel, platform commission and car costs come out of it, so net income is meaningfully lower and depends on your hours and vehicle.
