It would be worth it if people tipped. I've given over 600 rides. 5 star rating. Get compliments from almost every rider. But only 20% of people tip. I'm about to put a tip jar on my dash lol

[@notthemama1147]

Just watching out of curiosity. I will say I send my son to work 3 days a week in a Lyft and not tipping has NEVER occurred to me. I always tip a minimum of 3$ and up to $6 per ride. Not sure on mileage but the ride takes about 8 minutes, so maybe 3 to 4 miles? I tip more when my son is a dipshit and lags coming outside to meet his driver. He's been almost at the 5 minutes a few times so I text the driver and let them know if they will wait I will tip good. I consider $6 a "good" tip. How the hell do people not tip??? I considered driving Lyft, but on Door Dash and Postmates I make good tips. I've been tipped $20 multiple times for a 5 to 7 mile food delivery on food that was ready when I picked it up. Most often $3 to $6 per delivery. Of course on Postmates there are some who dont tip but its few and far between. On Door Dash I can decline the order if there's no tip, so I rarely take the no tip jobs, unless it's peak pay and the delivery doesnt take me out of out area. I don't know if I would drive for Lyft after finding this out. Its discouraging to me that people wouldnt understand the wear and tear these drivers put on their cars and pay accordingly. I personally always have a 25% off discount when I set up rides for my son. I cant imagine the driver gets the full amount so man, these drivers cant make more than a couple bucks on the ride. If my son didnt need the ride to work, I wouldn't even give Lyft my business anymore.

Absolutely correct. I agree

I HATED driving for Lyft. I prefer Uber. Lyft doesn't even have Live customer service. 🤦🏾. Also, their platform is unfair and biased. They will cancel...CANCEL your ride request, if their app doesn't think you'll make your rider on time 😠. Ridiculous! It's ridiculous. I applied, was approved, in 36 hours, and Quit all within 48 hours lol. Smh Uber for the win! For those reading this: Do both Uber eats and Uber X. Sit down, write out your financial plan, and plug it into their built in Goal meter. Figure out how many hours you want to work per week and you'll reach your goal.

Wayne Buffin true, to some extent, the money is small and my car only takes about $25 to fill up so I’ll only make about $35 which is nothing and why I’m considering not driving lyft anymore at all

[@SkyLifeIND]

I currently live in the Indianapolis area and started my first day driving for Lyft on November 21st, 2019...I drove again on the 23rd and again on the 24th. Within these 3 days I’ve accumulated $90.26 ..add $26 in tips, add an additional $10 for two cancellation fees...altogether I’ve accumulated a total of $126.26. Now here’s where it gets real....I drive a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I’ve been to the gas station twice pumping in $25 each time...a total of $50 in gas. Subtract $50 from $126.26 and I’m only basking in $76.26. Fact of this story...I’ve given more than I’ve received. Not to mention the fact that on the night of the 23rd I drove 25 minutes in route to pick up a passenger and when I was just 3 minutes away from arriving they cancelled🙎🏾‍♂️ ..you think I got anything for it? ..nothing but a big 🚫 ..all I got was a 50 minute country backroad sight-seeing trip at my own expense. Now thankfully I have a primary source of income, I just wanted to try Lyft out to see what it was like and if it was worth doing to make extra money. I know I just started and it’s just been 3 days altogether, but I really do feel like I sowed more than I reaped in terms of expenses and my time.

David Dez see the thing is. That right there is the average of my days...if not the lowest. And weekends (fri,sat;Sunday) are quite a bit more. So it’s actually quite consistent. Yes the only cons I see are car miles/depreciation/maintenance/ and taxes. But what I posted is the average/lowest. So it’s better than minimum wage..probably by a decent margin.

This video accurately shows how LOW the pay really is. She calculated her pay to be about $20 per hour BEFORE expenses. Obviously fuel is a big expense. Additionally, her calculated pay includes tips. As we know, tips are not for predictable or guaranteed at all. Point is, without those tips, her pay after expenses would probably be barely above minimum wage. I give her credit for not hyping up what she made and giving an honest assessment of what she actually earned. Based on this video you have to ask yourself. Is it really worth destroying your car and placing yourself at risk from unruly strangers for such low pay?

Check my recent post. Her earnings seem low to mine

[@pogden297]

Yes, but that $8 to $10 an hour you made as a bagger was all taxable. In driving Lyft/Uber you can almost completely wipe out your expenses driving with the IRS mileage rate of 58 cents a mile. So $10 after expenses driving Uber/Lyft is essentially not taxable. Huge difference.

[@MrKarloz97]

I’ve always wondered that from the beginning of this. Probably half of the money made will go into repairs and gas. I’m gonna do this part time. See how it goes. Downtown is probably ideal. Must be more demands and better clients than the hood.

It cost me 15.00 in gas, 20.00 turnpike toll and my was 49.00 and change, deduct 35.00 for gas and toll, round it off I made 15.00 for a little over her trip and no trip. These companies pay pennies and most ppl do not tip. 80 percent of passengers don't tip

[@RickRijuanaPro]

I drove Lyft for the first time for 2 days this week. I think the flexibility is probably the best thing about it. The BASE RATE is .86 cent. I looked at that like they should just round that to a dollar 😂. TIME rate is .12 cents. I had 2 double stops and .12 cents a minute is trash. The milege rate at .64 cent is where you get the most. I think I might drive a few more days but for every $20 I make half goes to gas 🤷🏽‍♂️ That’s not good. You also have to calculate how long you’ll actually be out. You may only drive for say 4 hours but in between waiting for rides you’ll be out 6 or 7 hours.

[@Thehandsomeliberal]

Yep. In other words, you're barely making minimum wage and destroying your car in the process

[@altcoin5631]

It's real simple, how many MILES did you drive? And this includes deadhead miles. Now multiply the total miles you drove times .58 that is the cost of driving a car according to the IRS. Just basing your pay by the hour tells you nothing.

honestly these numbers aren't that bad... Like I feel these are accurate, Today as of this comment, I made $117 in 5hrs 36mins with 8rides... yesterday id made $102 6hrs, 12 rides... It is very possible, my goal is $100 a day 5 days a week, which brings me to $2000/m... not bad actually. I think the main reason people give up on it so quickly is because they don't have real expectations... Like no it's not a get rich quick deal but if u set goals, Learn your areas and times etc it's very possible... Now Cities and States rates on fare do vary so study up you will be surprised.

Great video. I’ve finished my second week. Haven’t made nearly as much but I’m in a smaller city. My only complaint is the lyft driver app, which constantly loses sound on the navigation. Do you mainly drive in circles looking for rides or do you sit in one place and wait?

[@OldandNewforYou]

It’s important for People understand that she is NOT driving in a big city/area. Or if she is...she’s doing something wrong that I can’t figure it out. I just started myself and I’m making about 150 MINIMUM - $200 on a 6/7/8 hour day. (Try to work 6 days a week, T - S) Full Tank for me is about 35 dollars *at the most* (Important to note that I drive to the city and back which is $15 total (included in $35 . And when I get back I’m just about out of gas - so if I liveD 1hr 20min closer, I’d say $15 a day profit) so on a terrible day I’m making $115 profit In 6/7/8 hours. Which is about 16/hr (profit) But then I made $190 ($155 profit) on a Wednesday making it about 20/hr. (Profit) Saturday I worked 2pm-4am (14 hours) And made $355 ($320 profit) which is about $23/hr (profit) So far... The only cons In my opinion are the car miles...and eventually needed maintenance/new cheap but decent car. And taxes. Besides that...I haven’t understood the results of a few drivers such as her. Edit: I also receive decent tips for I have led lights inside, good smelling car, and just got a phone charging box/thing. Also provide water/gum.

[@Golden6000-n8f]

This is horrible. I only drive during bonus times and for 10 hours driving I averaged $500. I did it again for second week in a row and for 8 hours I averaged $400. And only used half a tank. I only drive during lyfts hot spots and bonus times. And I stay busy to catch goal. I'm never sitting around and I work one day a week lol so for two days I averaged $900.

They severely cut our share of the income just before they went public. It used to be an 80-20 split where the driver kept 80% as a standard. Now it is this amorphous variable rate where every ride is a different split. They ROYALLY fucked over the surge pricing as well. Now you get these premiere bonuses that nowhere near match the actual pricing. I never ask my customers what they pay, but sometimes they talk about it in conversation and there have been numerous times where it nowhere near matched the amount listed on the app. In the most extreme case, the customer was paying $39 and I got paid $9. I enjoy the convenience of Lyft, but I'll be damned if it isn't frustrating as hell that they keep stripping away benefits and pay under the guise of new "bonus" structures.

In conclusion, Ive been driving my brand new car for Lyft for 3 months now, all I can say is that: if you have a job please KEEP IT, don't be fooled by this blue eyed female income, you will just kill your car faster for peanuts, trust me, when your control arms and tires and CV axle... wear out and go see a mechanic your jaws will drop to the floor when they quote you a price, also, gas is so expensive when you finish your shift you'll spend %20 of the income that night at the pump. I'm not going to even talk about drunk passengers vomiting in your back of the car or rude passengers or the risk you're taking having your back to someone you don't know! some people do use hard drugs and some do carry guns, and some do both at the same time!.

Lyft's latest bonuses are bullshit. They post something like, "do 10 rides and if you don't make $50, we'll give you the difference. When was the last time you did 10 rides and didn't make $50? Lyft knows they will hardly pay out anything, but does these promos to PRETEND they care about you.
