Example embodiments described in this disclosure generally relate to driving request evaluation systems and methods that assist the driver of a vehicle in making a decision about whether to accept or reject a driving request. An exemplary driving request evaluation system includes a computer that evaluates profitability or loss associated with accepting the driving request. The evaluation can be carried out partly on the basis of a cost factor based on parameters such as the distance to a destination specified in the driving request, the time of day for carrying out the driving request, the fuel consumption of a vehicle used for the trip and / or the operating status of the vehicle used for the trip is calculated. In one embodiment, the computer is located in a device that is operated by the driver. An installed application displays the result of the evaluation in order to support the driver in deciding whether to accept or reject the driving request.
