Question:

Answer:

They randomly out of the blue deactivated my account. This was there explanation. We found your account to be violating our Terms of Service and you will no longer be able to use the Lyft platform. I can honestly I have not violated anything so clearly there is something wrong with there information but the worst thing is they dont even tell you what the problem is. Oh well guess take my business to uber instead.

Question:

Do drivers get a signing bonus? if so how does it work?

Answer:

Lft runs different promotions and depending on promotion they promise a signup bonus(500-1100$). Now if they really pay the bonus it's totally up to their discretion.in my case they didn't pay. I completed the 60 Rides required in the first 30 days, which was the requirment to qualify for the bonus but they still didn't pay. After a brief email exchange with a lyft employee(they do not give their position or full name) they stopped answering. Now I am filing a complain with BBB and I will let you know where it goes when I have updates.

Question:

I have already went thru the process and can start driving. my question is this a safe job for a female? i have read a lot of bad reviews, people getting rapped

Answer:

I hope you haven't started doing this. Reading the reviews I can tell both Uber or Lyft are shanty style of business. It was very surprising that new generations with ultra modern technologies has no concept of human factors in their business model. The drivers are simply robots to generate revenues to them. I drove Uber for two months and couldn't take their lies and manipulation. Please don't waste time whether it is Lyft or Uber. You won't even make one tenth of the minimum wage while taking all the insult and humiliation.

Question:

I was thinking on signing up as a driver, but i think i think i will pass. the reviews are not good.

Answer:

You made a sound decision. Anyone who can maintain two dollars of checking account balance it is not worth doing. Driving for ride sharing business is the last resort for desperate people. Some reason the misleading hype has spread out of proportion nationwide.

Question:

Answer:

I guarantee try Lyft and Try Uber and Lyft BLOWS UBER AWAY! SAFER DRIVERS, MUCH BETTER SCREENED IN PERSON BY THE WAY, ACTUAL TRAINING WITH A MENTOR, BETTER DRIVER PERKS AND SUPPORT... DRIVERS MUCH NICER AND HAPPIER THAN UBER DRIVERS... UBER NEEDS TO GET A HANDLE ON THEIR HIRING PROCESS AND BACKGROUNDS CHECKS AND START GETTING PERSONABLE WITH THEIR PERSPECTIVE DRIVERS... BY SCREENING THEM PERSONALLY JUST BY LOOKING AT SOMEONE YOU CAN TELL IF THEY ARE OFF OR NOT MENTALLY AND OF THEY SHOW ANY SIGNS I WOULD FAIL THE PERSON IMMEDIATELY... NO QUESTIONS ASKED. UNTIL UBER MAKES THESE CHANGES I WON'T SET FOOT IN AN UBER VEHICLE... LYFT DOES HAVE BETTER SERVICE OVERALL FOR BOTH DRIVERS AND CUSTOMERS... UBER CLEAN UP YOUR ACT. IF YOUR A FEMALE DAYS ARE SAFER IN GENERAL EARLY EVENING BUT AFTER 9 PM ALL BETS ARE OFF... REMEMBER IT'S YOUR CAR SO YOU CAN TURN DOWN A RIDE ANYTIME IF YOU FEEL UNSAFE MAKING THE PICK UP... THE BEST PERSON TO PROTECT YOU IS YOU.

Question:

I drive with lyft but they deactivate my acount because of low ratting how i come back lyft driver

Answer:

I'm a disabled veteran My apt building was going through extensive renovations and I had to relocate to a nearby hotel. Five days prior to my relocation, I created a Lyft account, downloaded the app, verified my cell phone and submitted my billing information. Everything seemed fine. The day of my relocation. I tried to schedule a pick up time and I was told I needed to submit a secondary bank card. What an a**** move. I was not informed of this not until the last minute and had to scramble for alternative transportation. Customer service has been completely useless Their approach is "RTFM" They just copy & paste instructions instead of being hands on and correcting the problem while accessing my account.

Question:

I just met with my recruiter and i have a suburban that seats 9 people which is a huge demand, i get back to my email after them taking my drivers license number and insurance card and they tell me they don't want to work with me. did i get scammed? did they just want my drivers license and insurance info?

Answer:

They have to approve your character/personality. Smile more often, tell a joke next time around. Make sure your car is in top shape, clean, a/c working/heater working. Check all light signals are working. Too many details they check off on.

Question:

If i become a driver for lyft, what is the rating that i am reading about that gets drivers deactivated? i'd like to know what goes into your rating so i can make sure that doesn't happen to me.

Answer:

To tell you the truth, drunk people at night are the worst... more likely to get a 1 star to 3 stars frankly because they don't care and not paying attention so much to the rating system, i. E. not thinking. If you maintain your courtesy and are friendly and provide any useful information requested from a rider or simply tell a story about something positive happening in the city that day or smile often, just don't be creepy. Can get you to 5 stars more often and be familiar with your city.
