I think all the passenger should put them picture on profile. just like the driver
that would help out drivers a lot
a picture is worth 1000 words , you see a thug in picture ........denied
Pictures can help a lot
Kenshin Kung 100% agree
rom usa What exactly does a ‘thug’ look like?
This guy walks into a room where people are laughing hard and having fun and enjoying the party and he declares "Hey everybody you all are going to wake up tomorrow with a huge hangover. Stop drinking."
Amen🙏 but I have to say as a person who was put in hospital by drunk driver this is the best reason to have a Lyft so nobody gets in a car after that
you forgot the most important one: picking riders up in unsafe/illegal locations e.g. red curbs, bus stops, cross walks, no stopping zones, and in the middle of busy streets.
Oh true, wow I can't believe I forgot that.
I ALWAYS get that one person who has an attitude because you don't pick them up or drop them off a couple feet from their location because it is NOT safe. I got into an accident because my passenger did not want to cross the street!!! I safely made a turn BUT someone reversed into me 🤦🏽♀️ I'm way too patient and nice, but you learn and I'm done being nice 🤷🏽♀️
Hey, it's better safe than sorry. You don't want to pull over in the wrong area and risk getting a ticket!
yup. : ( Unfortunately and as much as i hate to do so, at this point in time i will just cancel on these type of pickup locations. Since the rideshare companies don't seem to want to take any proactive steps to circumvent the problem, and since a lot of riders seem to lack any empathy for what drivers have to deal with on a daily basis, i feel like thats the only option we have. I recommend every driver to do the same; especially when the tickets for breaking these laws can be pretty expensive! But if you do choose to cancel make sure to contact driver support to let them know your reason; that is important! Drive safe : )
I’ve noticed that as long as I’ve driven close enough, I can make myself as arrived even if I continue driving past, so I get close enough for the arrived button to pop and look around for anyone. If I see someone I wave and continue to a safe place to park. If I don’t I just continue to a safe place to park close enough. Then I’ll call them right after I park to let them know I may not be in plain sight
*Good tips for newbies*
*However, 99% of drivers who pass the newbie stage won't follow most of these tips lol*
Silba-Lo not accurate
Most people don't Tip though!!
I've had the opposite experience
I would say it’s about 25-30 percent who do. I was surprised at first which passengers tip and which do not. Millennials going to trendy bars have always tipped me more than middle aged business people going to or from the airport, which really surprised me at first. What I have figured out is that if someone’s job is paying for the ride or if they are going to use it as an expense account deduction, they usually don’t tip because they are afraid it will be seen as gouging their employer.
I've learned when I drive in Phoenix most people don't tip when I drive where I live in Tucson most people do tip. And in Tucson they give big tips like $10, $20.
javier riis
Yeah what’s up with dat ?
WHAT HAPPENED TO TIPPING?
The lower the FARE = less chance of getting any TIPS ...WTF is wrong with this picture ?
I rarely got a tip they would say I'll add it to the app
There's only ONE MISTAKE Lyft drivers make THAT'S becoming a Lyft Driver
Uhhhh ok
🤣🤣🤣
@@TheRideshareHub 😂😂😂😂😂
I couldn't have texted that better myself, I parked my big rig to do this to see whats up and be home daily, I admit I made a TERRIBLE DECISION
The best people to drive are the early morning working crowd. 3am-11am. That's the airport traffic, work traffic, and doctors appointment. I also do not speak unless spoken too. People going to and from work dont care for convo.
Do you ever greet passengers?
People don't use taxi cabs because Lyft is *much cheaper* --- Straight up, brother! That's the *only* reason that Lyft, Uber, & others have success --- it's that simple my man!!
there are many reasons other than cost. but cost does play a big part
Pick up time is faster with Uber and Lyft than taxis
MyCatFooed
Bingo! They made these services so cheap to knock out any and all competition, They added uber pool/ lyft line to attract the bus rider crowd, It's a simple strategy but the downside is drivers don't get paid enough for what they bring to the table.
Make Money Online I'm happy with my trips from the airport and the pay.
Most of these hints are common knowledge, or at least should be. The others are just flat out wrong.
For instance, there's no such thing as a typical passenger. You get chatty Cathy, who doesn't shut up the whole ride, then the next one is silent Stan, who doesn't use words. At all. Ever. You have to learn to read your passenger. Start with Hi! I'm me, what's your name? This gets your verification done, and builds rapport at the same time. Then ask 1 open ended question, such as, how was your weekend, or do you have plans for the weekend? If they give a one word answer, they're a Stan. If not, Cathy will carry the conversation, and you're good.
One good thing about this video is you mentioned talking on your phone and playing loud music with a passenger on board. Just don't. Music should be for ambiance, this isn't a rock concert.
If a rider wants to stop at a store, make them add the stop into the app. That way, you get paid for wait time, which is way more than traffic time.
Deborah Simpson, Author You are right on the money. This is my experience exactly.
#15 happens so #14 isn't out of pocket! If my rider wants to swing past taco bell and get me a steak quesadilla as a tip for the stop.... then I'm going to stop, paid pennies to sit in line but a free lunch...
Good stuff! Nice job 👍, your content is right there.
Inspired John Thank you! We appreciate your kind words here at the Ridesharehub offices!
DO NOT follow this guy's advice on getting a ride by staying where you are! After working a couple of months you know where to get a ride at what time of the day. So, you do what's best for you and don't follow this guy's advice on that particular subject!
Texas Hunter that’s actually the best way to do it to save gas, time and energy. But if you are in a market that is spotty or rural it may make sense to drive to the hot spots. In LA, just park where you can and wait. ;) Ben doing this for four years now
I have a 10 minute rule. If I'm sitting on my thumbs for 10 minutes, I move. Not far, maybe less than a mile, but I move. It's never failed me yet
Texas Hunter just look at the rider app to see where cars are and go to a different place.
I think this advice may vary from places to places.
That window thing , I ride with mine cracked because some passengers smell of weed and bo and curry and onions , it gives me a headache.
Yeah, if they smell bad then definitely do it. Otherwise it's good to keep the windows always up under no other circumstance unless they ask.
And they smell like cigarette factory.
Lol or alcohol
😂😂😂Same here.
damn no mercy!!!
Just up and talking to the passenger is also not a good idea. When it comes to talking you go off of the passengers vibe. Some people just want to get in the car and have a nice quiet ride home. They might not want to listen to you babbling away.
It's Best To Get The Passenger To Where They Have To Go And Out Of Your Vehicle As Quickly (And Safe) As Possible With Little To No Conversation
Exactly. I’m a driver and I always give a friendly “How’s it goin?.” Based on how they respond I almost always know whether to engage with them or whether to shut up. After giving more and more rides it’s pretty easy to pick up on riders vibes.
Wrong
Exactly
Thank you for the great info to help drivers, especially new Dylan!!!
Thank you. I’m grateful for your advice 😊
Of course! I see you just signed up to be a driver :)
The Rideshare Hub I did! I been doing Lyft for about a week now and I used your code for Uber.
Really appreciate that :) How is it going so far?
The Rideshare Hub I drive for Lyft and it’s been good. And I used your code to start for Uber.😬
Thank you this was very important. I'm already driving for lyft. Thus is great information!
Drivers would get more sleep and take breaks if ubee/Lyft paid a bigger per mile amount
That’s very true
I wish i could just strait up tell every body my secrets, this channel and many others give you a little tip here and another there, but no ones giving you the whole tricks of the trade! i make $1.15-$1.85 per mile (Uber X SLC,UT).(.34 base .58 mile .15 min).. I did my home work, i ran mad trail and error and discovered a better way... I never ever ever chase surge, i hunt it!!! I have a buddy i tried to help him, we make about the same each week, the difference is i put way less miles on my car and do less hours
YESSSSSS
True
True dat! ✌😉
Great Info and tips!! Thank you!!
I think your suggestions are very sensible on target and will help other drivers be safer and courteous . Great job thank you. A retired Taxi Driver from NYC.
Thank you for all these tips!!
Hey ! It’s wonderful man good explanation
I love these advices!!!,thanks.
Thanks for watching Lorenzo!
Thanks for sharing.
It's so hard to drive strangers around. Too difficult and stress because this passengers has different attitudes.
that’s a legitimate reason not to drive
Because there a bunch entitled brats which Uber and Lyft encourages with the pax having control on every ride if you have a job or not and most DON'T tip because they don't have to let you know they're not going to no matter you gave Great service knowing your not making sqat on the fares but they're quick to swine and bitch and give you bad ratting
I can relate to that because I was eligible to drive for Uber 3 months ago and just started picking up people a few weeks ago. Can say this though, most of the people I've driven had me laughing throughout the ride.
@@bishop7534 They had me laughing also,we exchanged story's along the way to there destinations.Also gave me TIP$.IT was a fun hobby getting to know people.
Thank you! You got straight to the point, you were very personable and very informative.
Thank you Tracy! Glad you enjoyed it :) Make sure to subscribe for daily Uber and Lyft videos :)
40 minutes in a drive thru. Must be California. 😂 👏🏾
lol yep In N Out
WarriorPriest ouch I’m in California, but it doesn’t happen in my city😂👌
This is stupid...paying a bus fare and expecting a limo service 🤣🤣🤣 omg
Run...Forest....run 🤣
Uber and Lyft is more expensive than the bus...
@@TheRideshareHub jmmm
Sf bus its $2.50. Uber ride $7.00
Sometimes you get 4 passengers x2.50 =$10.00
Keyword "sometimes." Also a $7 ride is a very short trip. So sure, sometimes it's the same. But for the most price it's at least 3 or 4 times as much
@@mariluornelas7914 and sometimes an Uber ride is $300
Cmon people, don’t be so literal on her use of bus fare. The concept is that lift/uber is a discounted taxi service and passengers expect you to be a chauffeur instead. If they want personalized service, they need to pay for it, up front, with cash.... none of this “I’ll tip you in the app BS”. That never happens
A lot of this is case by case. The eating out thing is moot if you do this FT, otherwise you may need a cooler which takes up space if you're in an area that L/U likes to give you a random airport ride when you're not in the queue.
You can't always tell who a minor is, you're gonna end up taking one that looked older.
If your vehicle is leased, you can't depreciate. You can also write-off your car payments. Also, I'm an accountant/Tax preparer and he forgot to explain that you have to choose between mileage vs auto gas, payments, maintenance and depreciation. Mileage is gonna win out for this job. Every single trip is a business expense, there is no home base (office) really.
Personal Power Zones for Lyft are great. Park somewhere dead, max out the bonus, drive to a good area for a ride, you can leave the the purple/pink area.
Drive around for rides, you need to study the map. Know where the highest demand is at a given time.
1. NEVER TAKE UNDERAGE RIDERS.. 2. CANCEL ANY RIDE WITH TOO MANY RIDERS....DO NOT BREAK UP THE GROUP AND LET THEM ORDER A SECOND CAR...THAT WILL RESULT IN A LOW RATING AS THE RIDERS ARE PISSED THAT YOU WOULD NOT TAKE THEM ALL!!!!
vampireratt good point
U dersge?
Doesn't one person usually request a ride rather than the whole group? So it shouldn't matter right?
@@djaztec97 One person does make the request but they can have a whole group with them
That depends on how you approach that situation. If you say, Hey I'll just come back & get the rest of you; they usually go for it & give you a good tip.
Very helpful tips really appreciated
Glad you like them!
Great video!
Very good advices
Another excellent video! YOU ROCK😄😄
glad you like it bro! Did you check out the merch store? I want to send you a free shirt man!
awesome vid man! really great info. i’m learning so much!!! :):):)
Thanks Kevin! We are glad you are learning so much! Have you ever considered being a Lyft driver? :)
The Rideshare Hub i’m really considering it after watching your vids!
Kevin Emilio Vlogs Awesome! Lyft is doing a huge promotion right now if you use my link in the description, with a sign-on bonus of up to $500! That's on top of you already making up to $40/hr as a driver. I believe they are trying to beat Uber, one of their biggest competitors. All you need is a car and a driver's license! A great smile helps too :)
I drive out of the city, too many short distance rides, young cheap pax's, pax's with attitudes, and the stop and go traffic is time consuming, and murder on the car.
Samuel James how long do you usually wait for ride bings? I live 20 minutes outside of the city of Chicago in the start of the suburbs and I usually drive into the city. I’ve noticed that I never get rides out in the suburbs after waiting about a half hour
Great tips!
Thanks man!
Thanks for all the great wonderful Tips I learn..
Of course, and thank you for watching!!
Did he mention the wonderful Tip that you wouldn't get Tips From the wonderful entitled brats?
you nailed em all buddy
Yep. Made most of these mistakes myself!
I’m doing all this, thank you for video
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Thx for the tips!!! New Lyft driver here!!!
PuddenTang Craves awesome!!!
You are just a rider. Drive uber and lyft 3 years and your opinion definitely going to change for some point
Yup. True story my friend
I rarely talk to these passengers unless they get in the car and give out a friendly talkative attitude cause i really dont trust them..alot of them are just looking to get free rides or refunds so i dont trust them...they may take an innocent question you ask or an innocent comment you make as offensive and try to report you to get a free ride..its happened to me..i no longer trust none of them
Myke Ford so did you stop driving?
The Rideshare Hub no i haven't
Trust no cheap ass stingy uber passengers fuck em all
Fast food delivery mixed in gives you a break from passengers
Myke Ford
I totally agree.
Cool to know man
great content my friend.
We are glad you are enjoying it!
@Pierre509 Thanks for stopping by! Let us know if you need anything :)
Thank you so much brother wow and wow!!!!!!!!
Cool video bro!
THANK YOU!
#7 tip - waiting on a ride request is good advise. Can’t tell you how many times I’m driving aimlessly only to have to do a uturn and go back to where I had just came from. Double wasted miles, gas, time. It takes discipline but you’ll be better off if you sit stopped engine off waiting for a ride request. Best of luck y’all!!!
Yes exactly! I always just turn off my car, chill and hangout, sometimes even go hangout in a Starbucks!
Bro I agree I used go around for no reason. Now I just turn off the car and chill + better chance for request.
Generally a good idea to just wait for next fare but if you’ve just had a fare to a remote area, you may want to head back to an area more likely to get fares
Good tips I am considering driving in the future
Just became a lyft driver the other day in Philadelphia
Thank you
Great job
Thanks Cynthia!!
Very useful video 👌👌👌 it is all I have experienced
awesome 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I really need a pua. I was their driver but my car broke down and I can't afford to fix it!!!. They just deactivated my account. I don't know what to do in getting help. They were asking me for documents and stuffs and I did gave them, but all was invain. But I stand here up happy after having my account reinstated back
Great video
Thank you Neko!! :)
The minute someone puts anything in my car timer starts
Yep, my trunk opens, the ride starts & it ends when the Trunk closes.

What if you don't break the law? Why does lyft suspend you? A drunk girl stumbled onto the road and was bumped by our lyft driver on a Friday night. The Lyft driver was so stressed and concerned, we got out of the car and tried to find out if the girl was okay. She was ok. The driver asked to take her to be checked and but she and her friends were more eager to go to the club across the street. The driver insisted on taking her name and number and called Lyft to report it and to find out how she was the next day. We took it details too so as to also follow up. On calling the driver the next day and a few days to check up or be witnesses. The driver is still under suspension 2weeks now. We were there and saw what happened. The driver says that that is his only source of income and he is suffering because of this. I felt bad for him because he seemed like a good driver. Our ride was really good before it happened. I'd hate it if my job was that insecure. I don't know about your system but be considerate to your drivers.
The Best Advised so far!
Glad you liked it!! :) Thanks for watching and supporting!
Dillon thank You for tips You can talk well and understandable
I’ve done Lyft for awhile and I NEVER ask their name 🤷♀️ haven’t had an issue yet
I really don’t see how that happens they literally have us follow a gps
Its either miles or gas and maintenance not both for tax purposes
Once you chose deducting mileage you always have to take mileage for that vehicle. Only parking and tolls (and business portion of car loan interest) while ride sharing can be added to mileage. Washes, repairs, depreciation, etc are all included in mileage rate. I’m also a CPA
Great tips. If I may add a couple...treat it as a business, not a job. Please take the time to go through your driver app and learn as much as possible about the service you're providing in the event a customer may ask you some questions. You look very professional. This thinking should also apply to the rider app. It doesn't matter if you're not a rider. Get to know the rider app as well. Too many times I've had a rider who can't figure out how to use the app properly and as a result it takes more time for them to include a stop along the way or change the destination address. By helping them navigate the rider app, it teaches them how to use it, and you add value to their experience. Treat it like a business, not a job. Make it about them, not you.
Mike Laforge I have seen a few drivers in the waiting lot that look very unprofessional. Torn, ragged jeans, muscle shirts,etc. come on people step it up a little. That said most of the drivers look good and the cars look good.
If Lyft would pay drivers more the 60 cents a mile and more then 9 cents a minute then maybe we could be better drivers but lyft dont care about drivers more they dont care about our safety. Yes I called lyft safety suport and was told by the it's all about the passengers and if I dont like it I was told not to drive for lyft. Dont believe me call and ask them yourself.
Funwithdrones well, first if you get into an accident you and your passenger will be covered by Lyft! 100%
Second, say if there’s no passengers why’d they need drivers for?
I agree they pay less than what they used to, and that’s because i think too many drivers now drive for them so
Stop complaining and go finish High School.
@@sohrabi947 I assumed the pay went down because they targeted the rich first so every time you drove you made 20 to 40 bucks per hour. Eventually they lowered the price to gain more customers. Sucks.
Lyfts attached rich drivers who drive because they're already rich🚗
@@sohrabi947 the more of a reason to pay more business had grown, they can afford to pay more.they just getting over..at the end of the day..without us drivers lyft couldnt operate
Very true I learning all those tips by my self was very difficult when I staring no body training me , thanks God now I don't make any mistakes like that I not perfect but all those 20 tips I have i n control now thanks you , you will help a lot a new driver . God bless you for your video
Candie U I’m glad so could help a little bit!! :) You seem like a great person
Solid content, didn't hear anything untrue. Thanks for posting.
But, I'll amplify a couple points...From experience to the rookies; absolutely verify your passengers; definitely save your receipts (all of them, anything you do or use in the car); stay legal and stay safe -
don't drive like a moron.
Bottom line: this is a service industry guys and gals. We don't work for Lyft or Uber; they are our referral service. It's name recognition and they push fares our way. That's it in my mind.
I have no problem closing the opening spiel I give all my rides by saying "hey, I don't work for (X company), I work for you".
That does a few things right off the bat. For one, more often than not, it helps to lower that automatic guard-mode on getting in a stranger's vehicle. I.e., "see, we're in this together"... Already I'm building rapport.
Already offered to change the climate, music, charge their phones, verified name and destination and of course I've got water aplenty. Took 10 seconds.
"Oh wow, you're the best driver ever"...and I'm still in park, y'all.
It's really that simple.
The bar has been set very very low for us serious drivers committed to safety and service (while still being quite profitable, thanks) by a bunch of clowns playing at being drivers.
New drivers: just ask yourself what you would want as a rideshare client.
Seasoned drivers: assess what you provide. Does it measure up?
Stay safe and stay happy
Very good! I always complain about the first 3
As far as talking to passengers. .....gauge them...ask..So how are you doing tonight?? if they respond. .Fine...how about you?...talk...if they answer..Fine thank you...and don't ask about you...KEEP SILENT ...do not speak again unless they speak to you.
vampireratt That’s a great strategy
You are one of Lyft cronies who gets paid by Lyft to promote the Lyft interest. Try as a real Lyft or Uber driver, right now you don’t sound a driver .bullshit
Anyone else notice, he refers to himself taking a lot of trips as a rider? If he is a driver why is he riding so much?
I like to do market research. It's very important to take trips as a passenger in order to understand how to be a better driver.
@@TheRideshareHub I can get behind that, are you paying attention to driver ratings and ride stats so you can pick the noobs from the pro's? It would be great to make a distinction in your vids like, mistakes new drivers make Vs the avid drivers
first thing he said was use my link. he makes money on that. isnt all of this common sense ive been a driver for 2 yrs. i listened to whole thing time i will never get back. ugh
sign up use my link make me money
Because he he knows it's so cheap and on top of it doesn't have to tip
When a passenger says they're gonna tip, that means they will not tip.
#18, most riders don't want your 2cents, talk if they engage. I've never had a bad review that mentioned I was too silent or "he didn't ask me how my day was" they take Uber or Lyft becuase Taxis are either over priced or no longer in that area....
Yep exactly. A lot of people really like to talk and then it backfires
@@TheRideshareHub either you completely missed my meaning of let the rider steer the convo, but remain quite and professional otherwise. ..
Talking is completely subjective and case by case. That's all I'm going to say. As for half of the rules listed here, they are case by case.
Hi there,
Thanks Dylan I definitely would like to see more money and benefits
however I don’t want to be an employee I absolutely enjoy having a
a say as to when I turn my app on and off.
Nice video
long and new thanks man!!
Have a fantabulous day everyone!!! 👋🥰❤
I like to keep packs of peanuts in the glove box when im hungry. healthy fats keep you feeling full a lot longer
Mkay🎉🎉
Even though i am an Uber driver i still enjoyed your video, I like how you make alot of good points that i really did not think of but i believe will make me a better driver, Thankyou
Hey Jennifer. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Unfortunately there's a lot of negative comments on this video but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have an amazing day and let me know if you ever need anything at all!
Well Done kid!
Thank you!!
I drove for Uber and Lyft for the first year and kept track of every gas; oil change; maintenance receipt. When I tried to file my taxes, Uber and Lyft sent me back emails saying that because I didn't make over "3,000" individually with either company for the year, it wasn't even necessary for me to even file. The amount I make with both together is over $3000, but it would have to be over $3000 individually with either Uber or Lyft.
#16..... offer AUX cable, let them play what they want.... let them control volume ... just don't allow noise violations. ...
Yep good point
Can’t do it- I don’t wanna hear nobody else music in my car. I’ll change a station for them but your not getting the aux-
❤ur tips thank u❣ Dylan it doesn't give me a rate opt. for my passengers on my app. WHY!? I waited months after sign on to drive due to nerves & job hunt for bennies. Started 2 days ago & best job EVER. My tip don't wait & Dylan's Tip 18 is IT. Your people rock if u engage. A few of my peeps (9) were AWESOME! Show some ❤ drivers, the 🌍 needs more.
Hey Jen! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. I'm not sure why you aren't being given the option to rate a passenger. After every trip it should ask you to rate the passenger.
Same thing with me..are you able to see it now?
The Surge Part Is Always True . The Surge Disappears As Soon As If Not Before You Even Get Into It .
I need my driver to shut up drive and do what's going to make him drive as comfortable as possible. He doing me the favor by letting me in their vehicle
Yeah exactly
Very Good advice *Shalom Gustave
thanks gustave shalom
You can't be talking to every rider you pick up wtf
Ggmg Gg Exactly
Not at all these freaking rideshare experts are more uninformed and unproccessing of the craft
True it works but some people don't want to hear me. Sometimes I don't want to hear them. But it's part of the gig
I know right. He sings like a wishful guy
Some Passengers If You Ask Them "How Their Day Going So Far" They Will Report You To Lyft Saying You (The Driver) Made Them Feel Uncomfortable... After That Incident, I Don't Say Nothing To Passengers... I Get Out There Make My $200.00 A Day And Go Home
The type of driver you describing no one likes
So you think passengers like drivers who are mean?
The type of people you are talking about drivers dont want to drive
Not sure what he meant saving car receipts for repairs gas AND miles. I believe its either expenses OR miles for tax deduction. Miles will win every time. I wrote off $48,328 for the year vs $18K for gas + repairs
What was your refund
Yo-
I'm about to do this and drive from 12pm to 10pm every day. Let me know if this works.
A minor CANT take a lyft ride if wanting to ride alone. But a minor CAN take a lyft ride if he or she is accompanied with someone at least 18 years of age from pick up to drop off address
that's true!
If carrying minors were such a big deal, then Lyft would confirm the age of the account holder during registration. They don't. A lot of kids have their own accounts.
Robert Hadow you are so correct! A person must be at least 18 to sign up for an account, yet there are many underage account owners!
1099 4 LIFE! Gotta get dem docs @4:18 (Mile IQ) Write off dem taxes! Best advice of all....
As a driver, I highly disagree with number 9. I constantly have passengers thank me for driving the speed limit. They also complain to me about slow drivers. If I heard you correctly, you said you like it when drivers go slow. That is in direct contrast with every passenger I’ve talked to.
Just go with the flow of the traffic.
Sometimes the names are hard to pronounce so I always ask them how they pronounce their name and a profile picture will be helpful big time
That's a great way to go Adrian
100%
You forgot to mention a couple of things
Is very good if you have USB charger port cuz some people phones are low And they really needed my charger
Taking it is good to have multiple good Chargers just in case someone phone is about to go dead but they don't have a charger I've gotten good ratings and good tips when I let a passenger know just in case you need I have extra charger cords and Chargers that you can use and a lot of passengers alike great you are awesome thank you so much
Here's the best advice... Don't drive for ride share if you want to make anywhere close to minimum wage, and want your car to last more than two years. It's a sucker deal after you factor in your taxes (40% independent contractor taxes) and your expenses and overhead. You are going to be making about 5 to 10 bucks an hour. That's just signing up to be a wage slave.
Good advice but I think you should have elaborated on surge , I’ll have to google it . But thank you lots of very good advice
Oh true. I should remember that for new drivers. Thanks Erin
Good thing my dodge journey crew has built in booster seats n I always get the customers if I can hold 5 people I say I'm sorry I cant I can hold 4 people in my car n I tell those whose have more try to get the uber xl or Lyft xl!
Starting the ride before the passenger gets in doesn’t happen too much nowadays. In the past, I’ve had drivers start the ride two minutes before they arrive. I always take a screenshot and send it to Lyft with a complaint.
Rideshare actually pay better than most company truck drivers with Walmart truck drivers being the only one that pays very well averaging around 100k a year. The only thing is you are using you own car. If you were to buy your own tractor trailer you would of course make a lot more. Some truck owner operator gross at 10k a week or even more but after fuel which is very expensive in trucks and also road expenses and company percentages you are left with probably half that or a little more. Also breakdowns are more often in truck since they work so hard pulling heavy loads and racking up miles after miles . Unless you have a new truck expect an expensive repair every few months or so. Then again you are driving a very large vehicle and have to put up with so many headaches like DOT regulations and a ton of other things associated with trucking. Ride share is a lot simpler and a more relaxed type of self employment. As a former trucker I find ride share very nice and always excited to go for a little drive in my little four wheeler. No more swinging over to make a turn or having to get out and look every time I have to back up. And the worst of all shifting 10 to 13 gears of standard transmission in traffic that is so tiring
