The holiday rush may slow down after Christmas, but for rideshare drivers in Los Angeles, earning opportunities don’t disappear—they shift. With the right strategy, the post-Christmas season can still be highly profitable.
By driving at the right times and having a reliable vehicle from LA Elite Rentals, drivers can stay on the road, stay flexible, and keep earning without interruption.
Why Post-Christmas Is Still a Great Time to Drive
Many drivers assume demand drops sharply after the holidays. In reality, Los Angeles stays active year-round, and post-Christmas brings new high-value ride opportunities.
1. Airport Traffic Increases
After Christmas and through New Year’s, LAX and nearby airports remain busy with:
-
Travelers heading home
-
Tourists arriving for New Year’s celebrations
-
Extended holiday vacations
Airport rides often mean longer trips and higher payouts, making them ideal for drivers.
2. New Year’s Events & Nightlife
The days before and after New Year’s Eve create strong demand for:
-
Nighttime rides
-
Bar and club trips
-
Event transportation
Surge pricing is common in hotspots like Downtown LA, Hollywood, and Santa Monica.
3. Shopping Returns & Mall Traffic
The post-Christmas return season keeps malls and shopping centers busy, generating steady short trips throughout the day—perfect for stacking rides.
4. Fewer Drivers on the Road
Many drivers take time off after the holidays. Less competition often leads to:
-
More ride requests
-
Shorter wait times
-
Better overall earnings
