The pax has the option of listing drivers as Favorites, and they can send their ride requests to Favorites Only. Kody is saying that if you turn down one of those requests, the pax might take you off their favorites list.

That's a song btw lol..he is just being funny

I accidentally signed up under the rider side of Uzurv and now I having a time trying to sign up on driver side of the app. It won't let me use the same email for both. I gotta figure out how to deactivate the the rider side of it.

Also LYFT considers prearranged rides fraud as i pointed out in another thread so there is a gamble of you get paid on this as well not sure how it works with lyft

I sent an email to Lyft Support -- and Kody is basically right that they do NOT want Lyft drivers using Uzurv.

There is obviously nothing fraudulent about Uzurv, but Lyft told me they "do not support the use of Uzurv" and "...abiding by the vision for the platform...community...blah, blah, blah...reaching out...blah, blah, blah...etc." Which is Millennial for "no." Typical tight-ass Lyft.

Whatever. If they want the business this generates to go to Uber, fine with me.

You wont go to jail and there is nothing illegal but lyft thinks it is. They will not pay you on a ride and your account will be flagged and possible deactivation i assume. It can still be done but have to be careful. I just find it easier to ask them to use uber which isnt easier and i think it is still against policy but not enforced from my experience

What makes you think this is going to generate any extra business for either Uber or Lyft? I doubt very much that Uzurv will bring new riders to the table. You already stated that they have zero marketing dollars. Chances are the riders are already existing Uber/Lyft customers.

I didn't say anything about their marketing budget, but you're probably right about it not generating any NEW riders. There might be an occasional new rider for Uber, steered to Uber by a driver who didn't want to take a risk with Lyft.

It may generate some additional business for individual Uber drivers that they would not have gotten anyway.

I think there is definitely a market for scheduled rides with known drivers and vehicles. If not, obviously Uzurv will fail.

I think you might be confused as they have to be existing users of uber lyft to use UZURV.

Again it doesnt work for people on x imo

Again the best way to put it is if buying business cards for your self for uber and lyft sounds stupid and crazy to you, regardless of you want to use UZURV or not, you are not a right fit for Uzurv for sure

That is one of the classic differences between Uber and Lyft from the driver perspective. Uber is much more flexible and forgiving. Lyft is typically very rigid.

If i was ever in a position where i got deactivated on uber and forced to drive for only lyft that would be my last day driving rideshare lol. The only reason i have lyft is because i do uber.

And for the record i hate uber too lol

Not sure what you're talking about.

If you're referring to me personally, I have always used my own Uber/Lyft business cards for both referrals and pre-scheduling. In fact, I recently re-ordered to make a change in them. I use VistaPrint, and have been very pleased with their quality and service for 20 years.

So to clear things up since you own business cards already for uber and Lyft you would be a good candidate for UZURV.

I consider them to be the same, with the exception of rider base and business opportunities. I like them equally, but my Uber rides are 5-10x my Lyft rides. For that reason I agree with you -- if I couldn't do Uber, I would not drive. I couldn't afford to only drive Lyft.

It ain't funny if I need to explain it LOL

I can tell Jc be Rollin' LOUD this weekend!

Does the Uzurv app allow the driver and rider to state which class they drive/require?

 

[JimKE]

Does the Uzurv app allow the driver and rider to state which class they drive/require?

Yes. Both riders pick their fare (X, XL, etc) and drivers specify the different classes they drive.

When a rider posts a scheduling request, the request includes pickup location, destination, X/XL etc, date and time, and whether they are offering any "incentive" to take the ride. The one piece of relevant info neither provides is rating.

If I think of it, I will screenshot and post a scheduling request from the Feed next time I get one.

 

[Brannens]

Beware uzurv is complete joke. I have been a member for several months and have only gotten one right off of it even though I trick to accept pretty much every ride. I finally ended up signing up as a passenger Uber basic from Fort Lauderdale Airport two West Palm Beach I got offers from rides from everybody with Toyota Corolla all the way up to a Cadillac Escalade willing to do an Uber basic run of course the passengers are always going to except the higher-level car. And when you get the list of who is accepted to take you they tell you exactly what kind of vehicle they are driving and everything makes it unfair to your basic driver that actually drives Uber X

 

[JimKE]

One thing I'm not clear on is the "incentive." I don't know if that's a promise of a cash tip, or if it's actually collected by Uzurv and paid to the driver. If the latter, does Uzurv keep any of the "incentive," or do they pay the whole thing to the driver?

Anybody know?

 

[Rubio]

I've had so many offers to give rides for cash since I got here, most of them I flat out turn down. The ones I have accepted I wound up regretting.

The one thing that's absoutely positive about Uber/Lyft is being able to have a completely flexible schedule, and this ruins it. The only way taking a cash ride would make sense for me is if I were just about to start working, which is of course a completely unpredictable time. Any other time I'd have to charge them double to drive myself back.
