Rideshare Silver not sure if things have changed since this video, but drivers are paid $5 for no shows, the wait pay begins the moment the timer starts. The app tells you this every time.
Larry Cohen I'm in the Portland Oregon area and they let me do six destinations a day.
Rideshare Silver thank you very much for taking the time to share this video with us. As a rookie. This was helpful
Rideshare Silver just starting driving for lyft and half of your info is unavailable on my lyft app...
Oh my God, oh my God, thank you so very much. This is what I had been looking for. Something that actually explained the app. I have been a cab driver before but the app is what had me nervous. You made this look so easy. I'll be going out tomorrow afternoon to do my first ride.
Thanks so much. I'm really glad that this helped. Good luck tomorrow.
@@ridesharesilver Am a new driver.Do i have to toggle the on button to see customers to pick up or lyft notifies me?
Thank you!!for making this nice video.😊

Thanks Teresa! Glad you found some value in my video.
This video is thoroughly informative...not sure why there's over 40 dislikes
Thanks Christopher. Sometimes the Lyft app changes and is a bit different city to city. So maybe it is not helpful to everyone. But I'm glad you found it useful.
I thank you as well for this :)

Thank you very very much
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the video tips. Helps me understand the app more better now that I've seen your video. I've been nervous about doing my first ride, but I think I'm ready. Again thanks for the helpful tips. You wouldn't happen to have a video on how to log your trips or mileage when it comes to tax time would you?
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Very Nicely Done!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video, however I don't have the peak ride times and followed your video to a tea. Is there something wrong with the app or have they changed this recently?
Hi, Lori, when I schedule for a future lyft pick up how do I find the charge for that time of day? thank you.. other than that even as a senior, your instructions are really easy to follow so thanks. John DeLaurentis
Good info...well explained...
Question:
Is it possible to drive in the "Standard" mode and not in "Shared"?
In other words, can you refuse to do the multiple pickups and drop offs during a single ride?
I would not like to be forced to do the "Shared" thing...
These features just started here in California about a month a go. Looks they launch it out there first.
Awesome video !!! It looks like once I turn on the app and I get a ping or ride request I only have 1 minute to accept the job. But it takes me more than a minute to figure out where I have to go to pickup the customer, how long it will take to get there, how long it will take to get to the destination, the total time needed and the total miles driven. Is there a quick way to grasp all that info in less than a minute? I'm just trying to figure out how much total time and distance the ride is going to take so I can see if I have enough time or if it's worth my time. Thanks !!!
How do I exit the navigation app while I’m driving some one & how can I find the address of the destination that ppl are going right after I pick them up? Can I also see a destination b4 accepting a ride ?
Thank You, very helpful!
Question. What happens if your passenger decides they want a stop on the way . Like to a store for example or a gas station . How do you do that in the app? Thanks in advance .
Someone asked me today to end their ride early (she had chosen Line.) Look as I may I was unable to find a way to set a new drop off point for her/drop her off early. Can a Lyft driver drop someone off by passenger request early as a Lyft passenger or Line passenger? HELP
Great video! How much data does it use? I've only 1GB a Month, but I can upgrade if needed. Thanks
Surprisingly, not too much. But 1GB may not be enough depending on how much you plan to drive.
I must not have Ride Walkthrough on mine, or just can't find it..I did exactly what's on the video.
We don’t have disanation mode in Atlanta, I wish we did because they make you u turn
Figures I just signed up for Lyft and they took down the walkthrough on the website..figures
Be careful when using the scheduled rides. Once you go on line you can receive a request for a ride even though you have a scheduled ride a few minutes away. Now if you chose to refuse the new request it goes as a ding on your record as having refused a ride. I was told that if you accept the new ride Lyft would then get someone else to pick up your scheduled passenger.
I know exactly what you're talking about and I too find it incredibly frustrating as I usually have planned my day around the scheduled ride. But, if I do get a call other than my scheduled one, I just take it and grumble a bit, or ignore it if my acceptance rate can take a little hit.
How to adjust the app to drive only XL ?
Hi , I’m just asking if you can do a video about how to do a application for LyftDrive . And we did the whole application but we didn’t understand what Harmonized sales tax number means . Thanks .
I don't know what harmonized sales tax number means either. That might be something required in your state. My suggestion would be to go into your local Lyft Hub for help. Here is a video about signing up to be a driver but it doesn't have anything about harmonized sales tax. th-cam.com/video/Jg2D49SQtXA/w-d-xo.html
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. But, it is important when you apply to drive that you use a promo code in order to qualify for Lyft's sign-up bonus. CHERRYCITY is mine or PINKBALLOONS.
I just looked up HST and here is some info on how to get one.
How do I get a HST number?
You can do this in one of three ways:
Over the web via Business Registration Online (BRO). ...
Over the phone by calling the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-5525.
By downloading RC1-Request for a Business Number, filling out the form and mailing it to the Canada Revenue Agency.
Also there are no “ write offs” until you have claims adding up to at least 5,000.
How do you find out where there are going before you accept the pickup.
Yesterday I didn't know until I picked up the passenger
ecron lewis You don't know where they're going unless it is a scheduled pickup. All rides you give will be a mystery until you actually pick them up.
Thank you for the video. I have a question about destinations. Do you know the riders destination before you accept the ride or the pick up?
Michelle Joplin you don't know your passenger's destination before you pick them up. However if it is a pre-scheduled ride, they showed the pick-up location and destination before you decide to take the ride. Also in some cities you can set a destination and choose to pick up passengers who are going along the route of your destination. This is usually if you are heading home and you set your destination to your home address and see if anybody it's a ride in your direction. Hope that was helpful and I'm glad you found my video of value.
I want the Lyft app to give me point to point directions to pick the rider up. Just like it does when we are headed to our destination. How can I make the app always show me directions and verbal directions?
This doesn’t look anything like the current Lyft app. There are not Power Zones and it doesn’t have the Go Online button everyone keeps showing.
What is wrong when you have been approved and the screen tells you to continue to portal? It won't do anything else?
I will be happy to review your numbers with you to see where the profit is if you like?
I miss Oregon
Me too
How do you or can you establish riders destination prior to accepting ride?
Not unless it is a scheduled ride. However there are rumors that Lyft may start letting driver see the passenger's destination before they accept a ride. However I believe that maybe just offered to platinum drivers.
Thank you!
Hi what is the number for lyft I live in Illinois
Update plese, my app looks much different from this. An how on earth did you get 5.0 across 1k rides? My app does not show peak hour pricing or anything
Mine either
i have the app and I am have a terrible time trying to figure it out. I don't have POWERZONE. Does not show on my app. PEAK HOURS or BONUS STRUCTURE either. Can you help plz? thx.
Are you a driver?
Yes, I have the same issue
Tomorrow will be my first day driving. This was way more helpful then the actual lyft instructions. Idk why I’m missing powerzone.
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I hope your first-day driving was a success. I've contacted Lyft and apparently, the PowerZones are not available in every city yet. Lyft changes the app frequently and what is correct one day may not be the next. I apologize for any confusion.
Do they have an actual GPS that shows you where to go like Google maps
Yes, turn by turn directions. Lyft's default is Google Maps.
@@ridesharesilver okay thanks
I dont have this on my app😥
I didn't catch it on the video, but when do you know the passenger's destination?
Never mind, I found where someone asked already. Thanks for the vid!
Oh, can I schedule my own rides from maybe people that I talk to?
What gps app does everyone use? Waze or gooogle maps?
Lyft has partnered with google maps so they really push google, but you choose either under the navigation tab in the driver app.
Crazy
ok how to finish ride (drop off) in the application, if drop off location doesn't much app...sometimes passanger wants to get out earlier many times just for his convience or app is inaccurate...I dont see any option to complete the job if it happens for any reason....
yanushek1 there is an x at the bottom of your screen with the route. Tap it and the drop off button will appear. Same thing for a pick up when you get the passenger before you arrive.
thank you its easy now :) but I think you should put it in your presentation
He is not the maker of the video.
How do we know where a rider wants to go prior to accepting the request?
Unless it's a scheduled ride, you don't know the passenger's destination until you've accepted the ride and actually picked them up.
Rideshare Silver thank you so much.
In my app I can not rate my Passenger. please
please explain to people that anyone can be falsely accuse on being under the influence and your account will be deactivated,lyft does not takes the time to investigate,pax will make false allegations just to get a refund
Actually....taxes, gas, vehicle maintenance, clothing, food, vehicle insurance, washing and cleaning of the vehicle, Go Pro camera for protection, phone and phone services, replacing of the vehicle when mileage gets to high, adds up up to 0 left over. Now as a business you can show a loss for up to 7 years as far as the IRS is concerned and than you better be showing a profit or they will be knocking at your door.
Hasn't been my experience over 2 years but I can only speak for myself.
Does all your earnings go to gas and maintenance?
No, I would say 25% or so. But taxes are a thing. So you have to plan for that. The good thing is that you can write off your mileage at 54.5 per mile which adds up quickly. For me, it's a part time thing. The best part is I drive when I want to. As little or as much as I want (legally). Gives me enough extra cash to make me happy, but there are drivers who are full time but to make a good living, plan to drive 60 hours a week (depending on where you live).
but how do you know which miles are for your rides and which are for personal use when you write them off for taxes?
The Sarge There are some free apps you can download that track your miles while you are driving. Stride Tax is one. At the end of the year the Lyft app will tell you how many miles you've driven while the app is on but it doesn't cover the total miles you've been driving to find passengers. So I would definitely suggest getting an app that you can turn on when you're driving.
My app doesn't have power zone...
Some areas have Streak Bonuses instead. It depends on your city. And Lyft changes the app all the time so what might be valid one day is not the next.
Neither does mine
Are you still driving for Lyft?
I cant hear a lyft reguest. Always missing. Pfft9
Ima Misfit try to use the flash screen when a rider request you for Lyft I have tried it n it works for me while I’m driving
What percentage lyft takes ?
Lyft takes 25% of the fare, but zero from your tips and bonuses.
I'm sorry I dont see any power zones at all
Or power driver.
And my peek hours things just looks like a grid
What State is it?
Sulaiman 1111sulaiman this is Oregon
are you not familiar with PORTLAND? And it even says "OREGON ZOO" lol
2500 insurance deductible. Beware
#ELVISTECHS service has been so helpful to most of the gig workers. Lately he has been the one helping everyone get reactivated and lots more. He got my account reactivated last week and I have been working since then without complain.
