Abstract

E-hailing services are constantly growing throughout the world, providing practicality, reliability and economic attractiveness for both users and drivers. In this context the Uber transport application started operating in the city of Santa Maria in the first quarter of 2018., The main issue that motivated the realization of this work is the research problem: currently, is Uber economically more attractive than owning a car in the city of Santa Maria? Thus, the objective of this work is to perform an economic feasibility analysis of the private car in relation to Uber in the city of Santa Maria through economic indicators.. For this to be possible, twenty-eight calculation scenarios were created that alternated between the private car, the Uber, different kilometers traveled daily and differents Minimum Attractive Rates of Return (MARRs). The methods of analysis used to achieve the objective were Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback and Payback Discounted. Based on the results found, the mains conclusions of this study were that the enterprise proved to be feasible, positive NPV, for the scenarios envolving Uber up to 20 Km traveled daily, furthermore, the scenarios involving Uber proved to be more economically feasible than the scenarios that covered the private car.
