The headline claim that drivers are left "shackled" doesn't seem to be supported by the article, which states drivers can leave their lease agreements at any time after the first 30 days, with only two weeks notice, and without harming their credit score.

If you think uber are overcharging for the vehicles, given the terms of the agreement, the risk they are bearing, etc. why not start your own offering which charges less?

Great comment. I went back and checked the article because I thought you were wrong and it said "within the first 30 days". But you're correct, any time AFTER 30 days, they can leave the program.

No mileage penalties and no contractual obligation to the lease are huge benefits.
