I really like driving for lift! I am a license therapy counselor. I have helped so many people... people that are dealing with depression, oppression, suicide, loneliness and just needing a listening ear. Etc
I feel so blessed
Cool I have a therapy dog. A labradoodle
You're a driver.
Do you feel often very lonely?
Have you considered the priesthood?
Really
To Christoph R.
To your remark: to be honest I never feel lovely, one think I do know is it cost us nothing to be kind.
Once you know your purpose in like you walk in it.
I feel so blessed to be able to listen and give encouragement to other while I can.
I always give people most HONEST opinion. Most of them appreciate me because USA is full of lying and hypocrites that just say nice stuff to make people happy even it';s FAKE!
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
The passenger will not pay for a cancel fee if they cancel within 2 minutes from when they requested the ride.
I'm a Lyft driver, 3+ years, 9500+ rides. This is waaayyy out of date. You have your heart in the right place, and the intent here is wonderful 👏 ❤. It'd be nice if you took the time to update this. But, regardless, THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!@
He actually stopped taking showers after this
#8 is wrong. Not all states require two party consent for recording.
It would be easier for me to list states that require two party consent since there is only 11 of them. California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington. Lyft actually suggest using a dash camera or other recording device as long as you follow state guidelines.
In the video, you say it’s a US law. Which implies it’s a violation of a persons constitutional right, or that the US Supreme Court has made a ruling that two party consent is required. Now another question would be, is a Rideshare vehicle considered a public place? Yes it is a private vehicle, but open for public use just like a store.
Anthony Anthony Anthony good point! I think it's a private place.
I think it’s debatable. I don’t know if there is any case law on it.
well, if you think of it this way: no one can just jump inside another person's vehicle. When you order a vehicle, you are ordering that a spot for yourself and possibly somebody else. You are not expecting that just anyone can get in. Also, that car is owned by someone not for use by the general public. Going back to your point, a store has the expectation that anyone can just walk in. Sure, you can get kicked out of a grocery store, but you can't just walk in a car as you could a grocery story. I don't think the two compare. But good insight!
:52 bullshit! I drive for them and they pay nothing extra for long pickups. I recently drove 10 miles to make a pickup, and the ride was only 4 miles long. I contacted Lyft about it and they said that is just the way it is. Using the standard mileage write-off of 50 cents per mile, I have $7 of wear & tear and only got paid $4.
Scott Bohe MOST of Lyft rides are "wash outs" this video is specifically promoting Lyft on bullshit basis lol
I know... I feel your pain
My same complaint
A real answer, I found the same
That is true.
The Lyft rental program is far from free. It costs $255 a week, with a bonus of $60 if you drive 75 rides. Which is hard to do unless your driving long hours every day. So even if you make that your paying $195 a week for the car. The rental people are rude and don’t seem to value the custom and try to keep you in the same car for the duration of your Lyft driving experience. I just want to let people know the truth, their are some nice things about the rental program if you are driving full time, like free tires and oil changes. The only problem with that is that you often have to wait around for a long time and that into driving time, which stops you from getting the bonus. Honestly it’s very stressful trying to achieve 75 rides just to hit that first $60 bonus. Drivers achieving the ultimate 110 bonus do get $145 off the $255 a week price but they must be living in their car to achieve that. I have made that full bonus twice during busy weeks but it’s not a healthy or safe way to live and Lyft should not be enslaving their drivers to such an ordeal to pay a fair amount for the rental car in my humble opinion.
Fact's
Stop complaining I do lyft part time and I did 65 rides in weekend. 3 days. Not including Monday through Thursday
I never heard of a long pickup fee for lyft. Why should we have to email them ? It should be automatic.
You're right! Hopefully soon it will be automatic.
We don't even have time to do that when they put people in your Q.
My market got paid for long pickups for a couple months in 2018. Was then taken away but Lyft was paying if you contacted them. Then that went away.
They DO NOT pay for long pickup! I have called and comaoned about thos before and they won't do anything
Complained*
I can't wait to get my free jacket that should make up for all the money I didn't make driving for Lyft
Rick N. It’s a nice jacket :)
@the rideshare hub when am I supposed to get my jacket? Im way over that no.
Lmao well said👍
@@careyawalker 10k miles drive I think
Wheres my jacket? 2500 rides so far, but I'm dumping Lyft. Piece of shit ALGORITHM
Guys, a great point was made in a post down below about picking up teenagers. I had an experience with a teenage female that requested a rideshare and I was driving Uber at that time. It was after closing time at the local mall here and when I arrived to pick her up, I didnt know it was a young teen female. I told her that I was not gonna take her due to the fact that she was underage and my policy was I dont pick up young teenagers so late at night. I cancelled the ride but I offered to call her parents to have them come pick her up which was barely a less then three mile ride. I told her that I wouldnt leave her stranded per say for obvious safety reasons for her but she needed to have her parents come get her. Well after I cancelled the ride, sure enough, I got a call from a concerned parent and was wanting to know what was going on with his daughter and why she wasnt on her way home.
I kindly explained to the parent that I have a rule about picking up young teenagers so late at night as recent headlines in media outlets were citing rideshare drivers raping women and what have you and I was not gonna get blamed for something I didnt do. I told the father, I was not gonna leave his daughter stranded but If he didnt come get her, I was gonna be forced to call the local police and advise them of what was going on. He tells me he will call another Uber driver and hangs up. I called the police and they showed up within less then 10 minutes. I explained to the officer what was going on and he asked the teenager to call her dad. That's when the other Uber driver shows up. He gets out and sees what's going on and I walked over and told the other Uber driver what was going on, he basically said I ain't having that either, not in my car, no way and drove off.
The officer calls the dad and told the dad to get off his lazy ass and come down to the mall and pick her up.
The motto to this guys is, be careful about picking up young teenagers. If they have someone with them like an older friend or family member, then fine, but it's your discretion on it. I have a dash cam in my car so if the young teenager wanted to try and say I tried to make a pass at her, my dash cam woulda proved otherwise. For those that have a dash cam, make sure that audio is recording at ALL TIMES!
Drive safe everyone....cheers from San Diego!😀😀🍺🍺🍻🍻🥂🥂
James M. Thanks for sharing that! Great job on handling that situation.
Awesome presentation! I drive LYFT as a side hustle job for over two years or close to three. When I drive on weekends, I don’t drive past 11:30pm and I never had a problem with someone throwing up in my car.
Vincent Jackson Yeah, most pukers come out after midnight, so you may have just missed them. You’re a smart man!
Thanks buddy! I don’t want to deal with drunk ass crazy people. 😬
You must either be rich or going broke by now...Lyft uber is a scam. They don't pay...Only take. Unless you're doing referrals maybe
Lyft doesn’t pay for long pickups
tony garcia They stopped for a couple of weeks but they are doing it again!
I’ve been doing in Chicago for four yrs never seen only uber does it
@@Tony-yr9vs He said you have to email them. I have never done that have you?
They really should be paying for long pick ups. I refused a ride last week because it was an 18 minute pickup at rush hour. No thanks.
No I’m not going to do long pick ups
@@TheRideshareHub I got an email from Lyft CSR saying that they are no longer paying for longer pick ups
My new driver tip would be to open a separate bank account for your Lyft income. This way your bank statements will show your income and expenses at the end of the year to make tax preparation easier.
Smart
Just started driving for Lyft this week, love it so far. These are great tips! Thanks for making a great video
Just because you'r new , you will see how bad it will get in a few month
So excited !!!!
Can't wait to get started ,😀
#37, I had my worst day last week. I had 2 separate riders refuse to get out of my car. BOTH said the exact same thing! I am not getting out of your car, call the police! Long story short..there is an absolute agenda going on with the same type of people. No one wants and doesn't pick up these passengers! They are the ones with entitlement attitudes. They treat you and your car worse than public transportation. They all do the same crap. I am so tired of earning what a server in a restaurant and to be treated like crap. I'm trying to scratch out a living and to be treated like this is totally unacceptable! If I see one more walking casually to my car after the time is up, I'm cancelling the ride and drive off! And for those who do this and reading this, I am NOT a taxi! I don't want your 10 minute ride!!! Walk!
Wow that's crazy. Sorry you had to deal with that
That why I don’t pick up everywhere i can drop you anywhere but i will no be there to pick you up later
I never got my sign on bonus and I've been with LYFT for A yr now!! I got my amp light for 135 rides in 1 month when they started that, passengers love it...
Man I have really started thinking about doing this and just watching your 40 tips video actually has me excited. about it. I’m fixing to climb into your website and watch some more but man I’m glad you’re here. I did subscribe
Hey, love your channel. Got a question for you. What is your experience of travelling to different States and doing Uber or Lyft? I know there's a Background check in each state but is anything else I should be aware of? Reason I ask is I am in the process of becoming a full time RVer and travelling the country and towing my car along with me and will be doing Uber from state to state
This guy is living in a fantasy land.
Moises Ortolaza I wish!!
Lol.
No kidding
I'm a new lift driver I already have 104 trips made.
Can I still get the sign on bonus referral?
I drive in D.C. and I didn't have any one that I knew back when I sing up
thanks for all the info. very helpfull
Thanks for your help. Keep up the good work.
Hey boss. Call the company to send you the miles. And to add it on tax.
They keep count.
I am looking for something to do temporary and still have a schedule that will work for me and my personal schedule. Lyft was my first thought and I am really feeling good about what I just heard.I love to drive and thank you so much for all the info you gave this video is outstanding : )
Hey! Good to have you here :) Yes, Lyft is a great opportunity. You can also get a sign on bonus if you use the link in the description :) What market are you in Chuck?
how do you sign up for the ebates thing. Went on the website but not sure what I am looking for....?
What a joke I work the mornings only and I would say that 80% of people don't tip been doin this almost 2 yrs too long lol
People are cheap and don't really care that you drive to get them and safely drop them off
Thomas Harnum I’ve only taken Uber maybe 6 times. I only really had 1 bad experience in WA. where my driver was on his phone while driving and almost hit the concrete guardrail. Bout shit my pants. But I never knew you were supposed to tip a driver so I’m so glad I watched this video because I’ve gotten some good drivers that I sure would have.
Lol I was thinking about that. Best night. I had was when people were drunk lol
Thomas Harnum They pay if you are personable, professional and make good conversation.
I make 30 in tips a week or more and I do mornings only now, even at night I got tip well. Just got to 1000 rides and rating is 5.0
H P that’s horrible advice
Hi Dylan! During about a week of planning, procrastinating and stressing about starting Lyft, I binge watched your videos until I got the guts to turn on the app... THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! You literally have been my coach and mentor... I finally got on the road yesterday equipped with the GOLD you gave me... I cannot thank you enough for your energy and knowledge... I signed up with your bonus as a very small token of my appreciation... I really hope they will honor it so I can pay you back (and pay myself too!) ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Good tips, thanks!!
Absolutely! Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for your honesty information
I sent Lyft an email about 10 min pickups that I did. They say they don't compensate.!
#26 Destination Mode - you only get paid if you are paired with a rider, and that rarely happens. And the pickup and dropoff of that rider will take you a bit out of your way. Beware...
Thank you!! I'm signing up 👏👏🤘😊
Awesome!! Let me know if you have any questions ☺️
Awareness! Awesome 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
I have a rule of thumb when driving for Uber or Lyft: I don't accept rides with a pickup time longer than 10 minutes, unless I'm working a streak bonus, and even then it may be cheaper to forgo the streak bonus and cancel, rather than find myself on a thirty minute pickup, for which Lyft WILL NOT PAY ME! And, Uber's long pickup fee is a joke - on the driver!
only 3 times did l go for a pick up farther than 15 minutes and all three times the pog canceled, at least that's what the bots at HQ say but I got no notice there was just no one there. They told me that i took too long to get there which is also bullshit as i always exceed the speed limit by at least 10 mph. They do this so as to break your streak. Lyft is a really greasy company
I strongly agree with what you're saying cuz you could go backwards to get a 10-minute pickup and end up going around the corner and the be a $2 trip. Furthermore who has the time to go through the app to type in a request.
So glad autonomous vehicles are still banned in my area!
Thanks for you’re page. I helped a friend
what a soulful guy, god bless you,
Cargo is cool.
You have to send screenshots of your lifetime miles, rating, and most recent weeks rides (how many you did ). If approved Cargo will send you a box that sits on your middle console which has items that cost, and free items. All products are shipped to the driver at no cost.
Driver earns $1 for every customer order (even if they only order free items) . You also get a 25% commission on all paid items. I average $70 a week. Pretty much pays my car note, and my rating remains 5 ⭐️ s. Riders love free items.
Wow that’s awesome!! Paying for your car with a simple thing like Cargo is awesome. Have you tried Steereo as well? You could make a lot of money doing both.
Steereo is in Austin and New York no where else. Drivers are paid as soon as they earn $100 in music miles. Once that happens, drivers cash out on PayPal. Every song minute during your rideshare trips earns you between $0.01-0.09. Once you hit specific music milestones, you can then cash out your earnings.
Joel Cruzano They just expanded nationwide. Average drivers make anywhere from $300+
per month
At $0.01 per minute that is 166.67 hours to make $100.
David Jones I believe it’s 10 cents per minute
And they want you to play the music at a minimum of 50% and I’ve done that most passengers don’t like the music and it’s too loud. Makes no sense so I play this bands album from the TH-cam channel Them Guilty Aces. People like this band and I really like them these guys will be famous you can tell. Anyway the music sucks and no one likes the songs off that app.
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU!!
You are welcome! Thanks for stopping by Sebastien. Are you a lyft driver or thinking about becoming one?
Awesome information 😊
Just so you know, recording is Not illegal! There are only a few states that require both parties to be aware, not concent to the recording. All other states only require one party notice. That would be the one recording. What is illegal is recording while you are not present. Example, when a velvet is in your car.
Kurt Axt I’m talking mainly about the publishing of videos and uploading to the internet
#14, How can I sign up to get a dollar for each ride for Ebates? When I looked it up, it only gave me the option to get money back getting a ride with it
Melody Avanesi That’s for passengers
Great Video. Thank you so much!
Edwin Touré Pégnougo Awesome thank you for watching!!
@@TheRideshareHub Anytime. Great content. I take good notes and i pass the info.
I really appreciate you passing along the info. Be on the lookout, we are doing a car giveaway video soon
@@TheRideshareHub Oh really?! That's awesome! Keep on with the good stuff. I was reviewing your videos and some questions came to my minds. You talked about the 2 phones trick but is it really necessary when you use an app like MYSTRO ? Also, according to you, what would be the best car insurance for rideshare drivers? OMNI ? I look forward to reading from you. Thank you and have a great week!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching! How long have you been driving?
@@TheRideshareHub Wish me luck, today's my first day. BTW, check out my channel if you're into gaming and Metal.
Hey wow. Best of luck to you. You got this. Keep up the hard work and let me know if you need anything. And yes, I'll check it out!
@@TheRideshareHub Today was my first day with Lyft. The app gave me a bit of trouble either tech issues or reception, but I just pressed on and got the customers where they needed to go. I felt that was more important than to be fiddling with the app. but everything came out in the end and I got used to the order of the app after a couple rides.
Awesome. That's great to hear!!
You should say what market your in! For instance I’m in Chicago
Bay Area! How's Chicago right now? Big storm right?
They don’t give you the sign on bonus after you already have signed on. Tried both Uber and Lyft
Joel Cruzano Uber does if you apply it 30 days after activation
@@TheRideshareHub Totally wrong. No bonus after sign up. I have been tried that many times
I did it and got a email from UBER confirming it. I was within 30 days of registering. Just confirming this is real.
I didn’t know about the long pickup pay.... I should be rich by now with how often my pickups are long. Thanks for the info.
Super helpful!
Lyft no longer pays for long pick ups
Lyft NEVER paid for long pickup

Hi Gee,
Thank you for contacting Lyft support. I hope your day is going well!
We aim to pair passengers with the closest driver to keep travel time as low as possible for everyone. If you receive a request that’s far away, there may not be a closer driver available that matches the passenger’s request.
You may have seen bonuses for long pick-ups in the past. At this time, Lyft does not provide a bonus for long pick up times. We know that long pick up times can be painful and are working to improve this experience for you.
We’re always willing to help you with any question or concern you have. Don’t hesitate in getting back to us if further assistance is needed.
Best regards
#3 is wrong they are snobbier and low income ones will report a bad ride just to get a free ride
Based on my experience my Lyft passengers have always been a lot better.
I would agree to both based on my experience. Lyft riders can tend to be pickier about minor things, like the type that don’t get you deactivated, while an Uber rider will take a 45 minute ride and then make up everything short of that the driver was smoking a blunt and shotgunning beers while driving yet even though after the ride they make it seem like the driver almost got them killed a dozen times during the trip but during the ride didn’t feel endangered enough to compel them to end the ride early.
I had my Uber account places on hold twice for BS complaints. It would have been a third time however that rider had tried that trick many times I came to find out from a Green Light Hub visit the first time I got that dreaded “A Message From Uber” and they suspended her and immediately reactivated me. After that I decided to just stick with Lyft. Uber wouldn’t even accept dash cam footage from me in defense of the allegation. Lyft on the other hand has removed at least a few ratings after sending in proof that the rating was unfair (these were mostly cleanliness flags and I sent pics of the car around the time of the rating). My ratings range between 4.89 to 4.97 and currently 4.94 on Lyft. The only two safety complaints I got with Lyft happened to be on the same day and both were for driving too slow and one also stated I had weaved slightly. What they didn’t report was that we had very heavy rain that day and that it would have been imprudent to even drive the speed limit and the weaving the one mentioned was steering around significant water ponding along the curb.
@@rickmatteson6364 riders are the bitchest people I ever seen they full of shit 1 star is loose a high rating like not 2 star not 3 star not 4 star but 1 star they need a old school ass whipping for being a animal lol
Lyft is referred to as "The Welfare Wagon".
@@gtracer6629 LOL
Excellent! Very well done.
Many videos I can not hear. Yours, very clear.
Hey Carolyn. Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I spend a lot of time trying to make sure my videos are good quality and good sounding. Are you a Lyft driver?
Great no nonsense video !! good job Dylan
Hey Ted I really appreciate your support!! Do you drive for Lyft?
I just emailed Lyft and they will NOT pay for long pickups!
Brian Young I think that was a test they were doing for some time that recently stopped
@@TheRideshareHub okay. They definitely are not doing it now I wish they were but I will continue to deny anything more than about 12 minutes away because of this
@@brianyoung4380 I work on the corporate side of lyft, and that was never the case. This video, and I'm assuming channel, is nothing but click bait and lies.
@@higrlz gotcha. Thanks for the update. But this is one big issue! If you want us to take rides that have long pickups this needs to be fixed
@@brianyoung4380 facts
This guy is wrong on so much of what he says. Do your own research, don't trust him.
He might be go off of his own experience in his state which they pay more
He's such a troll....the majority of he's saying is absolutely absurd.
Yep. Some states are one party states so you can legally record what goes on in your car. Remember, "Your car, your rules". Also, if you take the standard mileage deduction, you can't itemize your vehicle operating expenses. You still can deduct candy, bottled water and such. But not regular maintenance and repairs.
You Tube pays for traffic... I doubt he's gonna take it down cause a couple things changed.
STILL RELEVANT
It is NOT ILLEGAL in EVERY STATE to record sound and/or video!! Minnesota is s one party recording state, which means that only ONE PARTY needs to know that anyone is being recorded, and that can be the person doing the recording!!
I appreciate many of your tips, but I have to respectfully DISAGREE with 25-50% of your "facts." There are SO MANY INACCURACIES in this list that I don't even know where to start!!!!
Thank you! This video was very informative and helped to fill in the gaps related to building my Uber/Lyft knowledge base.
Question#2: Had been having complaints about pumping the gas pedal 2 fast after a complete stop at a stop sign and red lights? Which is giving me a low ratings. So now, I take off very slowly after a stop sign and red light and yeild signs. But, I think it is dangerous moving slowly on this case. I drive my family and friends around, but they don't see anything wrong with the taking off fast on the gas pedal. Are people picky?
i don't want a $20 jacket that has lyft embedded into it. Pay me fair compensation
Question#3: Had been having complaints about hard brakes when trying to stop completely to avoid hitting other cars in front of me, because another car cut in front of me without using their turn signals. It was a sudden reaction. Why are people picky about this? I avoided hitting another vehicle.
Steven Huynh If you have to stop quickly to avoid a crash, there is nothing you can do. That is 100% out of your control. The only thing I can say (which I’m sure you’re already doing) is just keep a large distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. So, if someone gets into an accident in front of you, you will have more time to react.
@@TheRideshareHub Thanks for taking the time to reply back. Good advice.
How do you communicate with someone, when there is no hub in your state I am trying to let Lyft know they did not put in for My yearly background check. And I cannot drive who can I talk to ?
This is amazing ! #23 lyft drivers cancel on passengers so much I always pick them up and they tell me the driver came and cancelled on them lol
I was an Uber driver and Uber Eats. I was doing a good job and enjoyed it so decided to also be driver and after about a month doing both I was blocked from my app. I call and was told I had a complaint from a driver and in order to start driving again I had to take a refresher course for $50.00 but they refused to tell me what I did wrong so I told them I was not taking the course unless I knew what to be looking for in the course,
They wouldn’t even let me to Uber Eats which has no passenger involvement. WHAT A JOKE. I went over to Lift but not as busy and app directions are not accurate or my app freezes.
So be aware that they don’t care about you as there is someone to replace you
Did you have a dash cam?
Hate to say this but they can just LIE. It's a game low lufes play to get free rides.
I watch n if they immediately ask to stop somewhere...n they didn't put it in the app...I end the trip n send a message detailing why I ended the trip. Those "players" are the ones that lie...
I hate that they have added stops. I think it is ridiculous to expect people to wait at such a low rate of pay. There should be a 2 minute limit to stops. I actually called Lyft a week or two ago because I was waiting for 10 minutes outside a hotel in what I thought was a very unsafe situation. Seemed like it could be a drug deal. I called Lyft and said I only had to wait 2 or 3 minutes so I cancelled the ride and left. I was rated 1 star by that person, the only rating I have ever had below 4.
When someone asks me if I can wait for them without adding a stop I say yes but only if they complete the current ride and request another. I tell them I will wait outside until they are ready as long as I do not get another request and they can just input a new request when they are ready to leave.
I agree and it sucks because whenever we stand up for ourselves they will hammer our rating. I told a guy he could not smoke in my car. I got a one star right after that. That is after 21 straight 5 stars, Uber and Lyft are giving passengers way too much power. I hate the rating systems but uber's is the worst, imo
@@gtcstorm40 In my first week with Lyft I had a drive where the map got confused, thought I was on a street i wasn't, and routed me incorrectly. The rider, instead of asking me about it, sat quietly in the back and fumed. He gave me a one star rating. I called Lyft and explained what happened, they removed the 1-star from my rating, I've been a 5-star driver ever since.
@@livemeyer Lyft much better to deal with on ratings. They removed one or 2 for me as well. Uber refuses.
I end the ride on the 1st drop, unless they're picking up a second person.
#23 is partially correct. If a Lyft driver cancels a ride because it violates Lyft policy, AND you contact Lyft help and explain the situation, they will pay the cancellation fee and not credit the cancellation to you. I have personally cancelled for under aged riders and for no child car seat/booster seat. When I contacted Lyft they credited me with the cancellation fee and did not put them on my cancellation statistics.
For the LYFT long Pickup? Do I have to know which rides qualify? as I can't remember.
Also, How long has this been going on? I've been driving for LYFT for over 2yrs
Nice try lyft why don't you just pay your employees better instead of paying teenagers to lie for you
This video is not sponsored by Lyft
Your full of it
And we're not Lyft employees, we're independent contractors. But I agree, they take too much seeing as all the risk, gas, and maintenance is on us.
It's because scrUber was first to drastically lower rates, and Lyft has no choice but follow suit because pax will ride whichever is cheapest. #whocaresaboutethics
Uber and lyft are just names.
The app is the difference
Uber has their own gps.
Now lyft. My friend.
Google maps.
Which is safe.
Also. The sticker. Is blocking the view.
As the phone holder.
8) you need to place sticker.
The camera is on.
Google it bro.
No disrespect. Team work.
Thanks for the long pick up fee. I’ll tell my friend. I was just looking around.
Does anyone know the email address to notify lyft about long pickups?
What is maestro is it an app? I couldn’t find it in the apple App Store
Uber gives you 100% of your tip. One of my passengers told me how much they were giving me, and the drivers app reflected that.
Uber Vegan Movie Guy Lyft does too
@@mrjohnson140 At 15:02 He mentions he mentions what you said in this video. My comment is correcting his remarks about Uber and tipping.
Lol
So? Hardly anyone tips and Lyft is a joke running their drivers into the ground. They just lowered our pay again.
Quincy, Uber Vegan when passengers states what they tip you out loud the app would automatically give you the full amount the passengers says. When they don’t mention it the company takes most of the tip. True fact.
Can’t find anything online about “steerio.”
Thank you for that sign on bonus that's really going to help since I've been looking to get begin driving.
This sign on bonus work?
What is a good app to calculate mileage and gas for tax write offs?
Acceptance rate does matter, if you're constantly cancelling rides and lapsing rides your account will get flagged, don't listen to half of this nonsense. Ask any serious lyft driver who has done this and gotten an email or text with lyft telling them they have been canceling to many rides.
Tyler Boggs dude canceling and accepting are two different things. I keep a weekly acceptance rate of less than 10%. No issues. Get your facts straight before trying to blast someone
2 is incorrect. Lyft says “there is no bonus for long drive at this time”
5 there are carwashes which charge rideshare drivers MORE
I would never go to that shitty car wash that charge you more because your Uber driver or a ride share whatever
@@kennybenson2403 They're actually quite common. To make it worse, the better the car wash, the more they charge (mine is over $100 per month). To be fair, it's usually places that offer unlimited monthly washes. Pro Tip: just take off your Uber or Lyft signs.
Not all states require 2 party consent for recording. my state is just 1 party, which includes you as the driver so you are good to go.
Dude, this video was a ton of help
Glad you liked it Lars. Anything in particular you liked? I'm creating content this week and it'd be great to get some feedback.
I thought LYFT Carries Insurance!!?? And how do I rent a nicer newer car, ???
You didn't do much research for this video, did you?
Music City Driver Just about a year of research!
Another option to post your phone is get a cell phone air vent that would be a really wise thing to do because if you live in a hot climate and your phone gets hot then the phone will cut off. So if you can go to your dollar store Dollar General $0.99 store pay anywhere from $1.99 to $6 and get the cell phone vent holder you will be good to go
Here's #41 for ya! Lyft's Schedule Trip cancellation fee, that is after the driver has accepted the Scheduled Trip request and passed the two minutes after acceptance, the Driver gets $10 for cancellation fee! I don't mean committing to the scheduled pickup but I mean AFTER accepting the request 15 minutes before scheduled pickup!
DriverSteve Yes! I totally should have included that, because I didn’t know that when I first started driving. That’s a great one!!
I see your at CAL. Go Bears! lol Do you drive in berkeley or go to sf? Which is better in your opinion. I am an integrative biology major in L&S and will soon be driving for lyft. Thanks.
Trinidad Arceo Yes I am at Cal! Go bears! Have you signed up yet? If not use my referral code :) Also shoot me an email or instagram message and maybe we can get a video going on your experience :)
All he is trying to do is get you to sign up on his account so he can get money!
Awesome video.....thx
Nice and very useful video
Lyft does not pay for long pick up!
They used to, but they recently stopped
Question#4: I have noticed lots of black suburban Uber drivers at the airport. Is it worth it to buy one for Uber black?
Steven Huynh If you can get a used one for a good price it could definitely be worth it
@@TheRideshareHub Thanks for the time to answer my question...
Very helpful!
Glad you think so! How long have you been driving?
@theridesharehub so I can use ur startup code still for lift, when I go to pick up my car, I am starting to rent a car with lyft on Friday from Flexdrive. They give me like $50 and u like $50 right? Or if anyone else knows please tell me, I didn't have a code when I filled out my application and I'm trying to decide between hybrid and gas, I just dont want a slow ass prius!
I don't like strangers sitting up front with me.......I always put them in the back
What if they automatically just get in the front seat or if there are 4 passengers?
You are safer with them in the front. If they sit behind you and you are not paying attention they could get you in a rear naked choke hold and choke you unconscious and and rob you #justsaying #urdumb
Your ‘huge signup bonus’ was $20
erice mine was $10
That part
Thank you!
Of course!
Couple little things. If you re in what's called a one party consent state, you absolutely CAN legally record audio.
Also if someone wants to pay you cash, have a release of liability form handy for them to sign. If they gladly sign it, take em. If they don't want to then they don't want a ride.
What's up with the Uber referral code. Your so pro Lyft, obviously.
This video just happens to be about Lyft. There are other videos that are specifically about Uber as well.
