How can I earn more with Lyft

You can earn more by taking advantage of promotions, putting in more hours, and providing excellent services to customers who in turn might tip you.

Does Lyft offer drivers the option to rent a car

Lyft's platform offers rental cars to drivers who can not afford to buy a car. This is possible thanks to Lyft's partnership deals with Flexdrive and Hertz through the Express Drive program.

Does Lyft cover gas and car maintenance expenses

Lyft does not cover gas and car maintenance expenses. Drivers are independent contractors, and they are expected to take care of these expenditures with the money they earn from trips. However, Lyft does have programs to help with the costs, like a partnership with Openbay.

Does Lyft pay for accidents

Yes, Lyft provides insurance for accidents. The platform has third-party liability coverage that pays up to $1 million for personal injuries and property damage if a driver is involved in an accident. This insurance is contingent on the terms of service at the time an accident happens. Claims go to the driver's insurance company first before the platform determines whether it will pay for damages.

How long does it take to start earning on Lyft

It takes around 30 minutes or less to enter your credentials â which are typically your phone number, email address, driver's license and other identifying information. If you have a car, Lyft will determine its road readiness. You also have to authorize the platform to run background checks on your driving record. This process usually takes a few days.
