What does being a Lyft Driver entail?
Using the Lyft Driver app to pick up and drive passengers in your area.
I already have a job, so can I just drive a a few hours in my off-time?
Absolutely. Your schedule is entirely up to you - work as much or as little as you'd like. Some drivers make more than $800 just driving Friday nights and weekends.
How do I get paid?
Drivers get a portion of ride fees from passengers and 100% of the tips. Money is deposited into your account each week automatically, or you can cash out instantly with Express Pay.
Is Lyft safe?
Safety is Lyft's top priority. Running background checks on drivers, requiring a valid passenger credit card and phone number for identity verification, providing up to $1M commercial automobile liability policy, and numerous app safety features are part of how Lyft keeps the community safe. Drivers and passengers rate each other at the end of the ride to uphold high community standards.
What's required to be a Driver?
You must be 21 years old and have an iPhone or Android smartphone. The approval process includes a DMV, national and county background check. This requires a Social Security number and an in-state driver's license that is at least a year old.
Is insurance provided?
Yes - commercial auto insurance including collision, bodily injury and liability is provided with up to $1,000,000 coverage per occurrence.
