Anyone doing 90 rides per week with lyft

 

[Vegas E]

I did 40 last week. With the new Plus service I am definitely doing better with Lyft than Uber on the App.

Trying to figure if the rent program works 90 rides for a free rental

Anyone doing 90 rides per week with lyft

It does seem as if the Lyft requests have picked up however 90 is a pretty high count requirement. Anybody get it done?

90 is REALLY high. I get 10 uber pings to every Lyft ping.

90 is high and it would probably take about 54 hours online to get that. I based that on my experience with Lyft when I first started ride share. I was on Lyft alone before adding Uber, back then the 20% PDB was 50 rides in a week. It would take me 30 hours online to get it, that comes out to 1.67 rides per hour.

Now I run Uber and Lyft, I get about 5-6 Uber pings to 1 Lyft ping.

I get about 5 uber for every 1 lyft but noticed an uptick in lyft over last 3 days. Can't imagine getting 90 lyft rides

A friend of mine has been doing it for about 8 months. Originally it was 40, then 70, now 90. He does it every week but I don't know how many hours he averages.

I do express drive in Vegas for 70 rides grandfathered in. After I learned what hours to work and where I can do it easily fri-sun. There are areas where 6 rides an hour are possible with zero traffic. You have to think differently than the masses.

Even though 70 is my bonus requirement, I can go past 100 without even paying attention to the count....mainly because the count doesn't show during an active ride and I rarely have a chance to look.

Do you also do uber or just lyft, also what I went to rent a car the price came back as 999.99 a week is that normal

I'm in the Express Drive program which is a partnership between Lyft and Hertz. It is corporate billed to Lyft and I am billed from earnings and my debit card if not enough earnings. It is $180 base + $35 tax for a mid size (Mazda 3). If I do 70 rides and 90% acceptance Lyft pays the $180 I pay the $35. All maintenance and insurance included. $2500 deductible at fault through Lyft which is high. I've put 15k miles on it since November. Maintenance is no hassle (other than wiper blades) . Go to the officenter every 28 days for 30-45 minutes to make sure everything going alright and reset the due date.

Still get offered guaranteed hours, guaranteed prime time just no pdb which has complicated rules. I find the acceptance rate still allows me to either ignore or abandon 8-10 rides weekly so I still have flexibility.

I can't do Uber, but I'm not convinced that's a bad thing. I can only do 1 ride at a time, I'm already rarely even a block from a ride before I get another (which helps GPS my way out of places). Lyft has a good customer base for the most part.

Thanks, how did you get signed up for it

After the background check they'll put you on a waiting list. It's extremely popular but people are quitting rapidly because of the increase to 90 rides. I'm grandfathered but 90 is still doable. I'm @ 1200 rides and very rarely do I have trouble with motivation.

Deposit was $50 and refunded after your 1st ride when I started , they've since raised it and I believe you don't get it back now until you return the car....which is only logical.

 

[Alfred j]

Already signed up for lyft and uber paid my 150 deposit but when I try to rent the car it says the payment is 999.99 per week

 

[Coolrider101nk]

Make a reservation for Wednesday at the north las vegas location Craig /I-15 for a mid size. Return date 28 days out. Plan to show up, kill a few hours to accomplish very little but hope for the best. You'll likely be contacted by the local staff that they have a wait list. Make sure your on it and get an estimated time frame. Be very courteous and cheerful. ...it helps significantly and these are the people you'll deal with if anything comes up.

So went out tonight and did 6 rides in 2 hours with just lyft. Missed a 7th one cause I don't know what the procedure at the airport is. I should be able to do 90 rides in 3 days. I'm a cab driver so I'm used to 12 hour shifts. If it's drop and pick like tonight I'll jam for 12 hours straight or more. Thanks for the help

 

[Coolrider101nk]

I've had 17 rides in 6 hours, $180 to me. Hardly any traffic. It's about having fun.

Monday is a really good weeknight, you should know that from cabbing. When rideshare goes quiet, you'll be quite lucky to catch 2 Lyfts an hour. I have a feeling we may have benefitted slightly last night from that feeble attempt at a rideshare strike that I had forgotten all about.

What rideshare strike?

What rideshare strike?

Some group was trying to organize a March 13 strike as a show of force against the far rates. Like I said, I didn't even remember it until I saw some St Pat's Day strike banner in another thread.
