I'm Neucleus a new Lyft Driver and I have not been on the road yet. I tried working for another driving company and did not enjoy it (Pay now good) so I decided to try out Lyft and I was surprised and shocked. During my in-processing I met a couple of Lyft drivers (4 different drivers) and they shared with me their pay screen and all of them were making more than $1500 per week. I was shocked! So I want to get a good start and really earn some money and I found out that I have the potential to earn $1800 per week base on my location and vehicle. That was surprising, but I needed to learn the end and outs and especially how to navigate the Lyft App.
This is where you came in...after searching online and reviewing all the information I could find about being a Lyft Driver. My last stop was TH-cam and this is where I found your channel.
You video presentation was extremely informative and easy to understand and I notice you're a top level driver with an excellent rating. You video really help me understand how this program works and the full potential of the business. You've answered all my questions and really prepared me for the drive and making some real money.
Thank you so much for your great help and the important information. I'm now a subscriber of your channel and lots of Likes for you.
In fact I think it would be a great benefit to Lyft if they hired you offer online training. In fact your training tutorial is 95% better than that which I received from Lyft. Everyone who desires to become a Lyft Driver should view your video tutorial prior to driving...YOU'RE A GREAT ASSET FOR THE COMPANY AND THE DRIVERS. 👍💯
You are absolutely welcome and your comment just made making the video worth it. I GREATLY appreciate everything you just said, Thank you! Every market is different but IF you figure out key area to work and times to be there, earning potential is there. I don't claim to know it all but anyway I can help with info, I'll do my best. Thx again for the kind words and the sub!!!
Great job 👏
Thanks!!
good content ... thanks for sharing
You are very welcome I truly hope it helps
Thanks, I am new to this!
You're welcome!!!
Vinny thanks 👍
Your welcome, hope it helps
Vinny, yesterday I completed my first six hours of driving and thanks to your video tutorial I was able to manage this very well and I had some great riders. I made $136 for driving 6.54 hours and today I'm going to try working "Premium Only" and see how much I can earn. But thanks to your video I really help me navigate the program and I feel very confident about driving. Thanks again and I'll keep watching you. 🚗😄👍💯
Good stuff for your first day! Where are you driving, what's your market? Premium only can lead to longer wait times between rides depending on your market so be aware of that. Good luck!!!
Nice job
Thank you for your video I wish we could communicate more directly I have just a handful of simple questions
post a couple here and I'll do my best!
@@VinnyKuzz ok
Vinny, thanks for the info. I am new to LYFT and three things I have yet to figure out due to there is no info on the LYFT website. Hopefully you can answer these questions. 1. When I am online and a drive opportunity comes up, there is no way to determine what the payout is for that job. 2. When I have the app open but am not "online" I see opportunities pop up "$xx job" (say $18 job), however I do not know how to claim it. 3. I had a scheduled pickup at 3:00 AM, followed the instructions and was online and drove to the customer's house; however I noticed that the scheduled pickup disappeared under the My pickups tab and then another driver showed up (I have been told by other drivers that this happens from time to time). What didn't I do to secure this scheduled pickup?
Thx for watching and I'll do my best to answer your questions.
1. The only way to determine how much a ride will pay out will be to look at your rate card for your area or market. You know its a per mile/per minute rate so estimate how much the combined mile/minute is for every mile then when you see the trip pop up, you can make your determination. Lyft doesn't have up front pricing yet so that how we figure out the pay before completing the trip.
2. Not sure what you are referring to here, I've seen bonus opportunities that can be 3 ride streaks, complete 3 rides in a row at a certain start time or ride challenges where you complete x amount of rides and they either guarantee a certain earning amount or add a bonus it but never seen an offline job pop up.
3. I've had schedule rides cancel once I've accepted it but the app always let me know before i arrived so maybe it was a glitch. I wouldn't say you didn't anything incorrectly but next time screenshot it so if anything does go south, you can show them and still get paid.
Thx for the questions and I hope it helps!!
Hi amazing video but I had a question
When I go to my Lyft app it doesn't show me what spot is busy and what isn't?
No, neither app will do that. All they show is where the surge or bonus is to attract drivers to that area which sometimes could be a hot spot or they are anticipating it to get busy and hope drivers will chase the surge.
Thanks for the information. What is the $1 deductions for?
Instant pay fee, .50 each. And your welcome!
You're in South Florida Still?
Does Uber Premier Require you to Have Livery Plates ?
How about Lyft Black ?
I'm coming from chicago and we have the livery plate requirement here.
Also, Does the Vehicle Need to Be Black Exterior for both Platforms ?
Always in South FLA, this is home with no snow LOL!! We do NOT require livery plates for rideshare down here, for the Lyft blk platforms the vehicle must be blk but for Uber premier it does not. There is no Uber Blk anymore for us.
My Lyft GPS goes all over the place and teleports randomly while driving to pickup or drop off. This is why I don't even use Lyft any more. Any tips to get it working right? Never mind saw how you showed how to change it in Navigation. It was on Lyft Nav which is horrible to say the least. I will test my switch to Google maps tomorrow.
Ye sir, I never use Lyft or uber's built in navigation. It always glitches. Thx !!
your tier determines how many filters you can use. as a platinum i get 4 ✌🏼
also as a platinum i get to cancel and not let it impact me on those 3 rides in a row 😊
I didn’t sign up for Uber yet , do you have referral code,, I like do way you explain it and also you look like have Polish last name as me 👍
Yes, it should be in the description of this video
I used Lyft as a return driver and used the Lyft navigation and had a horrible experience. I do believe that I failed to begin the navigation. It kept telling me to "go left". My passenger used her knowledge to get us to where we needed to go. (I was embarrassed!). I've set it for Google maps, but will that give me the voice navigation turn by turn, which I feel more comfortable using? Thanks for advice.
I always use Google maps, never the in app navigation because its trash on both apps. They attempt to get us the longer timeframe and shortest route while they charge the rider for the longest route. Also, you can have a bluetooth earbud so your rider doesn't hear the navigation voice blaring out. Good luck, we are here for you!!
Gonna do my first ride tonight! I live in Los Angeles California
Ill be on line during peak hours. What should i expect? Any tips will help since im very skeptical
sorry I saw this a day late, hope all went well! I'd just expect people getting from one place to the other, don't over think it. Be cautious and aware of your surroundings and enjoy the new people ya meet.
let me know how it went!
@@VinnyKuzz It went great actually. Drove for appx 2.5 hours only and made $31.50 Not too shabby. I appreciate your response and look forward to drive more this weekend.
Keep learning your area's where you have the most requests and your earnings will increase. It's not as easy as people think but the more you drive, the better you get. Good luck Boss!!
Everyone is going to ask you to stop for free, simply put the power back on them and say you can control the stops through the app, thank you. then if they try to say well just stop real quick and ill give you 5 cash. dont. its not covered on insurance. people will literally try so many things to get free rides and their money back. Always say your name but dont say theirs. make them tell you their name. and if your rider doesnt match the names you say "oh im picking up someone else" and they give you another name or the correct name. just be careful and take no shit by having boundaries. anyone who verbally abuses you, cancel. period. Over. and when you cancel, kindly get out and get the door for them. so they cant slam it. then double check inside of vehicle, get in and GO.
@@thejoyofskating solid advice!
I am a new driver and have a question. Is there a place on the app to see where you are dropping off the person before you pick them up? Thank you
Lyft does not offer destination info before you accept the ride, the only way to see where you are going is when you arrive at the pick up. You will see where the trip is going by opening up the screen. With that said, once you hit GOLD status then every request will show time and distance and direction but if you drop below gold then it wont show you again. Gold is easier to get to than gold on Uber plus it gives you 2 extra destination filters. Hope this helps and thx for the comment!
Great question, I was wondering the same thing.
It's been waiting for 2 months, everything is fine, but I still haven't started, can you help me? (Accessible driver training)
How is with instacart since I work for a foodstore in E.Amherst
I worked Instacart when the Pause first happened, it seemed ok until someone hacked the app and was stealing all the decent orders. Haven't worked it since.
Hello my friend when I'm driving with lyft I cannot see my account cannot have any access. And 2nd thing is when you wanna call somebody or text somebody it's not the same as Uber can you give me this information for lyft
With Lyft, it's an email support system so go into your menu and then under HELP you will see their contact.
Question. If I can not access the drop-off point for my rider the app will not show the slide to end ride. Is there a way to end the ride and still get paid?
Whenever you are dropping off a rider and you don't see the drop off slide, swipe up from the bottom and it should appear. Thx for the question!
@@VinnyKuzz thank you sir for the info.
it should work, hope it helps. Appreciate ya.
I'm not a Lyft driver but I would love to be able to use their GPS for personal driving. Is that possible?
Their GPS is just Google maps as an overlay integrated into their app so yes just use the standard Google GPS.
Are you serious , get a smart phone and use google maps.
There used to be hot zones for lyft all the time. Since like 4 months ago it completely stopped till this day. Is there a reason for this?
Lyft went away from hot zones down here and went more of a surge like Uber. Remember they do different things in different areas. The surge isn't multiplying like it once did but it ranges from $2 to as high as $50. Uber hasn't been multiplying their surge as much either. Take the bonus and go get another one for us. Thx for the comment!!
@@VinnyKuzz yes i know which zones you are talking about. It went away on my app, there is no color whatsoever just a plain lyft map with an airport que everyday.
How can I see passengers drop off location before accept orders? Could u pls help
You can't, once you "arrive" you can zoom out and see where they are going. if you dont want to go to that part of town or want that ride, cancel before they comeout. but Lyft does not like when you drive to their house, push arrive, then cancel because you dont or cant go in that direction etc
Exactly
Where do you punch in the referral code, on the Lyft driver app?
When you sign up using the referral link, it automatically has the code already. If you sign up by just going to the app itself then I think you have to contact them with the link code. Hope this helps and thx for the comment!
How do they determine XL rides?
XL rides are vehicles that can transport 6 riders and the driver, a 7 seater which can be a mini van, compact suv with the third row or the Big suv's like Suburban's, Escalades etc. make sure to check your local market requirements as they can differ from others. Thx for the question and comment!!!
I’m so confused about how many hours I can drive in California. The app let me work over 10 cumulative online hours but they’re telling me I can’t work over 10 hours 🤔. So is it 10 or 12 hours??
In Florida, we have 12 hours app time BUT Uber ONLY counts time where the vehicle is moving, not actually on. Lyft counts app time every minute it is on. So if you turn both apps on at the same time then Lyft is counting down from 12 hours while Uber is counting down ONLY when the car is moving, if you are at home or parked waiting for a request then the app doesn't count that time. Hope that helps and THX for the comment!!
That made me curious and so I looked it up. In California it says Uber's limit is 12 hours but Lyfts limit is 10 hours! On both apps when you hit your limit you have to be offline for at least 8 hours before you can start up again. I suppose if you're only working one app at a time you could for example do Ube for 12 hours and then when you hit the limit switch over to Lyft and keep going but you need your rest too. You don't want to start dozing off and getting into an accident!
@@PlumbPitiful 100% agree, always work smart but I know drivers that will work one app and then switch over.
Hello. alright? how do I access the lyft chat?
Are you referring to Lyft support chat? Click menu (upper left hand corner) then scroll down to Support and safety then Get help. From there you can select from the menu in upper right corner that looks like a small box OR start a chat thru "get help with this ride" that will allow you to start a chat even if its for something else. Hope this helps and Thx for the comment!!
How do i make the most out of a rental car from LYFT?? Do i need to hit bonuses? Help me to make the most money!!!
Not sure how the rental program works with Lyft but I'd say always shoot for the bonuses, that's why the extra money comes into play. Lyft might have a program where if you give so many rides in a week, they reduce the cost of the rental but not sure if they still have that program. Always work when its the most busy in your area and when the bonuses are live. Hope that helps!
Does the app allow you to see the passenger's rating before you accept it?
Yes. both apps do when the request comes in next to their name. Have to be quick though so train your eyes to focus on all the info by taking a screenshot of a request and learn where the info is. Thx for comment!!!
How do I get in contact with Lyft
As far as I know, you can only email them thru the app. Go into support and safety to open a conversation. Hubs and phone support have gone away
To bad Lyft navigation is screwed up. Waze and Google maps takes to long if you're driving in heavy traffic. Uber navigation is alot better
To be honest, for me Google maps outside of the apps has been the best. I use waze on longer trips outside the city but within the city, always Gm. I tried the apps integration of google maps and it just never worked correctly. If it works for you then that's all that matters, gets the job done. Thanks for the comment!!
I don’t see driver shortcut on my Lyft app ? 🧐
You have to go into settings and turn it on, should be a slide type button
how can i take a 15 min break?
Not sure when you are referring to but at anytime just turn the app off. Sidenote that if you are a platinum driver, Lyft will let you turn the app off in the middle of a streak bonus or if you have 2 of 3 trips completed, they will pro-rate the bonus and pay it out. I've had that several times go my way. You are your own boss with these apps so you decide when and where to turn them on or off. Hope that helps, if you have any issues, shoot me an email or post here. Thx for the comment!!
A quick tutorial for the Lyft App.
Where the he'll r u driving? The highest promotion we have had is 18 dollars extra after 10 trips. I drive in a small town and I swear we make nothing. 2.00 for gng online, we nvr have had that and every 10 trips for uber I got at least 5 tips with lyft every 100 I make 1 tip. Something really stinks. How the he'll do u guys have 185.00 promotions and our highest is 18.00!!!!!!
@@sidj6745 I'm in South Florida and trust me, these promo's are only there becase they need drivers. Once they can get back to there request to pick up time, they will stop offering them. Where are you located?
Easy only use it when the map is purple or when they finally decide to pay fairly to keep their business from plummeting.
@@ramonfoster1224 At some point that will happen but keep in mind, drivers are temporary. The end game is the driverless cars and being done with the cost of the driver. Funny thing is I think they are counting on tesla and other EV owners to be willing to "loan" out their cars to make extra money while they are not in use. If I pay $65k for a vehicle, I'm not loaning it out to anyone. I can count on 3 fingers how many other people have driven my XT6 or CTS LOL.
I been stuck on the background check for a week or so 😢
That first report can take a few for either app so hang in there!!
Why don't I see any hot spots on my map?
Not really sure, could be rides aren't in high demand in your area during the times you are working.
How someone can help me get my accounts back please
If you are not in a big city u will make next to nothing. Where a big city trip will pay u 10.00 a small town will pay u three. Where there r promotions in big city say 10 rides or 15 an guarantee of 200 to 300 dollars in a small town u may get and extra 18.00. These r facts. It is completely unfair bc you r using the same amount of gas and wear and tear on ur vehicle. I also guarantee you that lyft is not giving you ur tips. I had 100 trips and was to believe I received only one tip. What's happening in small town USA by lyft needs a massive lawsuit.
I've always wondered about the small markets and how they do, I'm sure they can't be easy to make money as the population s small. I would agree that bigger cities have better rates and more rides for sure.
As for tips, I'm tipped out about 40% of the time so I would hope Lyft and Uber aren't pulling a DoorDash scheme and keeping the tip money, that would be a major scandal for sure. Thx for the comment and I hope it gets better for you where you're located. Where are you located?
@@VinnyKuzz With Uber every 10 trips I'll receive at least 5 tips. 100 trips with lyft I received 1. There is a video where a journalist rode with a driver undercover. They were robbing the guy blind. Not only was he not getting his tips they were not paying him his full fare.
add wear and tear on your car, not even worth it
What irritates me with the Lyft app is that you can't view EARNINGS while a ride is booked. On Uber, you can sit at a stop light while on your way to pick someone up and view earnings on the Last Ride or Weekly Earnings. If I know I'm at a light (or at a point where the vehicle isn't moving), I like to scroll thru the last ride to make sure everything came thru ok: distance, time, etc. There have been times when I've completed a ride - viewed the transaction - then saw the rider CANCELLED the ride before I ended the ride! It has happened on Uber about 3 times to me.
With Lyft, you can't view any earnings or even view the last ride you just dropped off if you've accepted another trip already - or if they've put a ride in your queue and now the ride is active after the prior drop off. It's annoying! I just wanna see the amount, as well as see the surge amount added, etc. Yet, Lyft locks you out of that menu option. Therefore, I end up hitting LAST RIDE to pull myself off of the available drivers list. Once I'm OFFLINE, I can now view what I want to see - and usually it's a 10 second viewing. That's all it is.
And with that, you're probably pulling yourself from getting an opportunity to drive someone for a good amount of money - all because you're offline for 10 seconds reviewing your last ride.
Lyft needs to allow us to review the last transaction/ride we just had, just from a business standpoint. I've never known a business where you can't view the TOTAL INCOME you just made from a transaction until after you're offline and you have no other rides in the queue. They need to fix that issue.
I can't disagree with what you said, that part IS annoying LOL especially when you get stacked. Nxt trip I get, I'll record the app in progress so I can show what you mean. Thx for Sub also!!
@@VinnyKuzz very welcome, my man! I'm glad you're doing these app highlights and features because new drivers ask me this stuff via text and I can't answer it. My friend Donna who I just got into Uber Eats like 3 weeks ago is now asking about points.
I'm gonna have her sub you too! Haha! You could help her cover so much ground, as I'm usually driving all night and can't reply. She needs your tutorials to save her some time!
@@MicDropBBQ I appreciate it.
Its one of the new features they rolled our a few weeks ago I hate it too
@@miaminights86 It's so lame. I can't stand not seeing the end of the trip when they add it to the queue (or when they switch riders on you before you get to the pickup of a rider). For all we know, the rider could be going 2hrs down the highway, and that's a ride I dont wanna take at midnight, getting back to Phoenix at 5am....and most likely, no ride back.
Therefore, that's a trip that's pointless and worthless. It's fuel there and back, but you're only compensated for the trip there. When they do long trips, there should be something in the app that says, "This trip is a long distance trip, between 30-60mins, or 61mins-90mins, or 91mins-120mins." They should give us an approximate time because we MIGHT wanna take the trip if we're going that way.
But the fact that they'll give me a 28min trip EAST down the highway in the middle of the night means I won't have any trips coming back. I live in Central Phoenix, so that's an hour of driving and I'm only compensated for 28mins of it. Fuel and time, shot - and we don't get a message or warning that this "added to queue" trip is gonna be like this, or else we wouldn't take it - and they know it.
