You forgot how to toggle on and off location sharing with Lyft, which helps you out by not taking away the surges because they make it seem like you’re invisible.
Don't you find it amusing that you, not Lyft, are providing this valuable information? It is very clear that drivers are the easiest to take advantage of for both riders and Lyft. Thank you for doing Lyft's job.
Lyft doesn't do much to educate drivers or riders. Alot of riders still only know how to push the button for a ride. And that they're entitled to 5 minutes to get in the car.
Thanks for the tip. I knew it all except it bever occured to me to wind down the day by rating all passengers based on whether or not they tipped or were an inconvenience. That is an awesome idea. I'd say 5* for everyone who tips and deduct a point for each of the following: 1. bad odors, 2. Leaving a mess, 3. Not tipping, 4. Inconvenience, 5. Not tipping when i helped carry their luggage.
I only make them change the address on their app or I will do it on their phone and never on my Driver app. You don't want the PAX to dispute the ride because that the driver change it without PAX permission.
Thanks Joe, Just started driving for Lyft again since the pandemic. The app has changed so much. I tried to find an old video from Jay Crader. He had a thank you message that he clicked on and it popped up instead of having to write out thank you’d every time
Sorry...one of your hints is incorrect. You cannot 'Thank' your passenger for tipping you. That "Add note" box goes to LYFT.....NOT the passenger. Notice how the box says "Park car to add more DETAILS"?? If it was going to the PAX....it would not say that. Wish we COULD thank the tippers....but we can't. 😐(For example...if you selected: Didn't wear a seat belt, Left a mess, Rude or Other safety issue....the "Add Note" is to further explain one of these issues.) HTH
I stand corrected, good call, welp, I guess this hint is you can rate a pax within 24 hours lol, wish Lyft would include a "send thanks" button like Uber does
You are correct, the note goes to Lyft and not the passenger. I wish Lyft followed Uber and let drivers thank the passenger for the tip. This motivates passengers to tip more.
@@joepeterpierce Yes, I do too! I appreciate the 24 hrs to rate a pax though. This way, I rate ALL tippers 5 stars....even if they were slightly annoying. But all NON-tippers never get MORE than 4 stars....even if they were perfect. 😜
I wish I could adjust ride types while I’m on (or on my way to) a trip. I drive an XL. Sometimes I’ll take a standard Lyft ride if I’ve got a ride bonus. But while I’m on that trip I’d like to switch back to XL only like I can with Uber.
Be careful when you set the center of the circle on the stay within area filter. It doesn't work if the center is on a body of water ( river, lake, pond, pool) or if the center is in a field far from the road ( like in park or on a golf course).
@@x-armysarge when I use it, I try to get as much of the circle over water as possible. I think the app needs to have an address associated with the PIN in the center of the circle, or it doesn't work. I was driving Uber one night and put pin out in the lake as an experiment and never got a Lyft request.
Also if you pause the stay within the area filter, that automatically disables the filter without telling you. You have to log on and disable the filter to refresh it.
On the left side all the way the bottom there is a button that can access the last ride while one is enroute to either pickup or drop-off because while the car is moving, Lyft disables toggling features for safety purposes.
I always review my rides the next morning, no tip = 3 stars, tip = 5 stars, no tip and I did something extra like handled their luggage, helped with their groceries or other shopping bags, made an unscheduled stop and again no tip = 1 star. If they don't tip, I don't want to see them again.
The only way I would rate a non-tipper 3 stars or less is if they didn't tip AND they were from out of town and just passing through. Otherwise, eventually I wouldn't have any pax left. LOL 😜
@@CM-co4ky I considered that possibility, but LYFT is not the dominant app in my area so I wasn't too worried. What did happen was my rate of tipping pax went from about 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 without any decrease in rides. I had several locals who weren't tipping at all, and they always had groceries or kids or wanted multiple stops. I don't miss them.
I have been doing this for years, and my tip ratio has increased to over 50% I don’t miss the non-tippers. I tend to get requests from the passengers that always tip. The non-tippers go to other drivers.
Don't trust him Hello, I'm Lyft's driver. I'll tell you. Lyft takes 70% and gives 30% to the driver. And when the car gets stuck in traffic, it charges passengers for traffic and gets all the money, but only about 0.45 cents to the driver. And when it arrives, it takes 5 minutes, which also charges passengers a lot of money and gives drivers 0.07 cents. Lyft and Uber need a thorough investigation
I am a new driver as of about a month ago and I was unfairly deactivated the other night. I have a 5 star rating & high driving score and yet a couple unfair passenger complaints got me deactivated. I have a clean criminal record and clean driving record and yet, Lyft is unfairly terminating me over a couple complaints. It's like my driving record and my Lyft ranking all mean nothing. They refuse to even tell me what the complaints were or which passengers left the complaints. I reached out to 2 support agents and they both gave me no information and refused to reactivate me. I ALWAYS drive safely and make sure everyone has their seatbelt on. Is anyone able to help me or point ne in the right direction? I have looked forward to doing Lyft for years & it is my only source of income. I am heartbroken, stressed, and confused.
Keep trying. They suspended me for 14 days for no reason and I emailed everyday until they got sick of me and asked me to resend all document and I got back on Sunday past. This is my sole income with Uber for the last 8 years so I know the stress you’re feeling right now.
I dont know if anyone ever cover the pin drop option in these video but pick anywhere on the map and press and hold a location a pin will drop like google map and you can now head to that destination you just have selected.
Lyft is an rip off today I drove one hour my earnings was $0 I contacted Lyft they blamed me for canceling the trip I completed the trip I stop as the customer requested to an liquor store & drop him off I cannot believe this second bad experience
All these LYFT drivers are doing is driving for free. Whatever little money they make they’ll need for future car repairs or another car. It’s ridiculous 😂
The vehicle you are using is definitely key. I made the mistake using my Dodge charger rt so you know I was cussing at the pump... But now I have a Kia forte with over 30 mpg. But what also helps is I only drive part time to build up my weekly income with my full-time job. So I understand each person or situation is different
location filters are great, if you want to drive before a doctor appointment, without this filter, you could get a long drop off and have to reschedule your appointment
Yes, it's great for part time drivers. If you have a few hours of free time but have somewhere you need to be later, you can make some money and still get to your appointment.
I assumed it goes to Lyft, explaining why I rated them less than 5 stars. I've written things like, "possible drug dealer" & "rude" and "scam alert." If the rider read these notes, they would prolly make a false report on me. You know, tit for that.
@@wakeywakey8603why would you write something that carries such a massive taboo and pin it on the poor human just because you gave him a Lyft? That's gotta be the most conniving, disingenuous, rude, PETTY, thing i can think of... why not JUST WRITE things you can prove and actually saw for yourself because those kinds of labels dont just fall off by themselves. You might as well add "looks like a rapist" to that list for a true character assassination; Perhaps try to think of only good things; this will in turn RAISE your low vibrations thereby raising the interior vibes in the vehicle. Try that experiment; ill bet you double your tips and it even starts doing positive things to the rest of your day!! Then again this could all be a figment of the imagination by a drug dealer.
@6nosis I actually took a pax to a drug house without knowing it. When the pax was in the house I witnessed 3 drug deals happen. The rider was also out of his head on crack or fentanol when I picked him up. I picked him up at a motel known for prostitutes and drug users. I have reported this to lyft multiple times. They still send drivers to this location. I reported it to the police. They raided the motel.
I watch your video to see how turn the map to dark mode. My map stays in day time mode and I can’t figure out how to turn it for night mode. Your video still interesting and thank you
Where is the area to consent to a background check? I need to have another one done to drive in a different state. I see where it talks about a background check but I can't find the actual place to consent it.
Never change the address for the customer. It’s a scam that customers want you to do it so they can get a cheaper fare. I’ve seen this done a lot for. They took date a driver to come get them. Did they change the address to a cheaper distance?
One time a passenger asked me if I wanted to talk about astrology. I told the passenger I had my own chart in the car. I went on to explain if they gave me a tip they would get five stars no tip got you four stars if you annoy me get you three star if you get sick in my car you get two stars if any of us gets bitten you get one start. Needless to say she gave a tip. I told Lyft office about this and he said I should have a sign made for the car. That's why I like the 24-hours time given to rate the passengers
How do I view the whole map when driving half the screen is blocked by silver information and upcoming rides. How do you move that out-of-the-way so you can see your full map and help would be greatly appreciated. You have a great channel. I just discovered has been very helpful to me. Thank you.
I like to understand how the Lyft app can tell because we get a weekly report on the breaking and the phone usage or the speed how they are detecting all this through the Lyft app. Can you please explain
I have just been taken by Lyft on 2 rides. Both the rides had 1 stop. When I went to the first stop the passenger said to cancel the rest of the ride. Lyft will not pay any money to the driver if the driver cancel. I had 2 big rides that was taken. $35 n $20. Can you guys get a hold of lyft on this.. the customer service do kot even understand what I am saying to them. It's really frustrating.
@HandyDJs yes surge is added to pick up money. The offer is designed by the location you are at. So if you are now where the passenger's location is and they update the address, it will now make the offer lower. Effectively removing all pick up money and surge
When i drive bonus zone when i get there bonus zone disappear 😮😮 lyft is scam passenger ask me i paid $28 how much u got driver???? They gave me $8 Passenger said😮😮 oh my goshhhhhh
How many people are getting the referral bonus ripped off? My daughter clicked my link in March but never signed up until July, so they are refusing to give me the bonus. Seems like just another way to rip us off.
Great video Joe! Android user here and maybe I'm just missing it but it appears that if I'm working on a bonus the only way I can see the status of that bonus is if I'm offline. I thought there was a way to track it while logged on no?
Hello I am lyft driver with 8k rides right. So I took a long break and recently started driving again for the holidays last december. I didn't switch my lyft direct on so lyft hasn't paid me for at least $320. I have contacted support 5 times. The last three time the support staff stated that they have escalated the issue to another department. Now today, support has stone walled me. Not only is it demoralizing that lyft doesn't have a driver support phone number anymore, now they haven't sent me any notifications about my serious issue! In the past, there has been a notification from support if I was ever owed missing earnings. Now there is No communication at all? I sense some low moral at lyft. Are they on the verge of collapse? You would think that the drivers would be the backbone of the company? More like the executives and the software engineers are the center of that company. How would you contact outside of lyft if they would not communicate with you about your missing $320 ? Thanks
Im here in Knoxville Tn .. I started doing ride share before I Left a abuse marriage now Im not sure about other cities but when I started in Knoxville in 2018 omg Lyft was king of the city here it's was like Uber who now I went with Uber because I was killing it because I was one of the few drivers here .. I only done it for a few months then I came back in May of 2021 and Uber is the king of Knoxville Tn now .. Lyft has ran them in to the ground here by getting greedy... Uber we don't have upfront pricing here or most of the drivers don't even know where they're going until they swiping at the person in the car .. it's sad that both companies have totally forgotten about us drivers and in reality they have gotten to the point that they have totality lower the people we get from our airport.. not only that the next county over is Sevier county pigeon forge Gatlinburg Miss Dolly Parton biggest tourist area that thousands and thousands of people come all year around and how you can hardly get a ride share with either companies ain't no damn driver wants to set in horrible traffic for chump change it's a little over an hour from our airport to get up there one way and if you're coming back you're not going to back to where you need to get so you're pretty much rice and two and a half hours for like 33 bucks if that.. not only as drivers are putting our life in danger every day we get in our vehicle and pick complete strangers up is like my tax person said we're like waitresses who work for free pretty much we weren't really make money off your tips that we get from hard riderz our customers and honestly the only benefit is that we get our money's right now is bull crap in very sad that both companies have ended up this way yes totally I can say Lyft totally hands down as the better app but you can make way more and go Solo solo and don't be greedy damn like them.. companies need to realize my saying is company needs employees employees need companies let's have common sense treat your employees like family and you'll get a hard-working employee that will make you money and save you money... Hi people been saying this world has gotten pricey but shitty ... Uber and Lyft have the same investors that's my opinion deep down and they're just making these few f****** people rich as hell and I didn't realize you can't take this s*** to the gave.. have a blessed day,.
It's happening in Los Angeles too. At major events, the surge pricing is so pathetic at Dodger Stadium, Staple Center, Sofi Stadium, etc. Last month, there was a rave by the Queen Mary and lots of ravers came to Long Beach. I saw a bunch of big Provost party buses to drive these people to & from the music festival bc Uber/Lyft drivers don't wanna deal with the road closures & traffic nightmare for chump change. They're hiding the true surge, at least on my app for sure bc I rent the car from Lyft. They know I'm gonna drive, surge or no surge bc I'm paying $250/week for their rental car. So I get less bonus, shitty ride challenges & no ride guarantees. The guys who rarely drive Lyft bc Uber pays more, they get the best Lyft earnings guarantees. Even though I been loyal to Lyft since 2018. It's like being married to an asshole who spends all his money on hookers but is stingy with his wife. They're never gonna reward you for being a loyal veteran. It just gets worse & worse. Minimum fare in this city was $2.62 in 2018 and it's still $2.62 in 2023. I leave those trips for the hookers to get their earning guarantee money. It's like they read the book "Rules for Radicals" and decided to apply it to rideshare. It's about mafia tactics written by Sal Alinsky.
All these are great. I was aware of all of them. Unfortunately some of them are advantages when bonuses are available. I work in a small market, Los Angeles (not) and bonuses are pretty much nonexistent. Haven’t seen one in weeks
Exactly because Lyft has changed the algorithms in the app cuz everyone is using filters in only bonus zone areas. I spoke to a Lyft rep who slipped and admitted it‼️

@@JoKurtis i've heard this will get you deactivated, so be careful with that one.
They also added the ability to permanently disable the "auto-accept queued rides" feature. Under "Driving Options", then "Driving Preferences".

That notes is not shared with pax, it's only for Lyft support.
Exactly
Thanks for the tip. I knew it all except it bever occured to me to wind down the day by rating all passengers based on whether or not they tipped or were an inconvenience. That is an awesome idea. I'd say 5* for everyone who tips and deduct a point for each of the following: 1. bad odors, 2. Leaving a mess, 3. Not tipping, 4. Inconvenience, 5. Not tipping when i helped carry their luggage.
Just starting Lyft I love the location filter. Sometimes I don’t want to be 50 miles away wish Lyft had that.
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING IT SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT WITH YOU VIDEO. THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL.
I only make them change the address on their app or I will do it on their phone and never on my Driver app. You don't want the PAX to dispute the ride because that the driver change it without PAX permission.
They will retaliate against you if you change it location you right thank for sharing
Some pax are hopelessly clueless about the app and so I just edit the address for them on my app

How do passengers tip? What apps are they using to tip you? I'm asking as I am going to be starting with Lyft here soon.
this is the BEST youtube video for LYFT I have found - solves at least 4 major questions for me!!! thank you
Glad you found it helpful! Remember to share with your fellow drivers.
Very helpful video
Many thanks for sharing 🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much☺️♥️
Any time!

Who do you get your insurance from and how much is it roughly per month?
Hi I can’t add the Waze in my app Lyft driver what’s the solution ?
Why is it some jobs go on the map kind of like up for grabs and some are sent directly to you?
Back to back Lyft request? Never heard of them!
In Nevada, we get $100 for 50 rides in an EV but it says until July 1, 2024. Does anybody know if it’s going to be extended beyond that?

July, so they are refusing to give me the bonus. Seems like just another way to rip us off.
You makin your daughter drive for Lyft?!?!? 😂
Thank you I’m always getting slammed with new ride requests while I currently have a passenger in my car
Great video Joe! Android user here and maybe I'm just missing it but it appears that if I'm working on a bonus the only way I can see the status of that bonus is if I'm offline. I thought there was a way to track it while logged on no?
The Add note is for Lyft support not pax so don’t waste your time thinking lyft for the tip other than that good luck
Hello I am lyft driver with 8k rides right. So I took a long break and recently started driving again for the holidays last december.
I didn't switch my lyft direct on so lyft hasn't paid me for at least $320. I have contacted support 5 times. The last three time the support staff stated that they have escalated the issue to another department.
Now today, support has stone walled me. Not only is it demoralizing that lyft doesn't have a driver support phone number anymore, now they haven't sent me any notifications about my serious issue!
In the past, there has been a notification from support if I was ever owed missing earnings. Now there is No communication at all?
I sense some low moral at lyft. Are they on the verge of collapse?
You would think that the drivers would be the backbone of the company? More like the executives and the software engineers are the center of that company.
How would you contact outside of lyft if they would not communicate with you about your missing $320 ?
Thanks
Im here in Knoxville Tn .. I started doing ride share before I Left a abuse marriage now Im not sure about other cities but when I started in Knoxville in 2018 omg Lyft was king of the city here it's was like Uber who now I went with Uber because I was killing it because I was one of the few drivers here .. I only done it for a few months then I came back in May of 2021 and Uber is the king of Knoxville Tn now .. Lyft has ran them in to the ground here by getting greedy... Uber we don't have upfront pricing here or most of the drivers don't even know where they're going until they swiping at the person in the car .. it's sad that both companies have totally forgotten about us drivers and in reality they have gotten to the point that they have totality lower the people we get from our airport.. not only that the next county over is Sevier county pigeon forge Gatlinburg Miss Dolly Parton biggest tourist area that thousands and thousands of people come all year around and how you can hardly get a ride share with either companies ain't no damn driver wants to set in horrible traffic for chump change it's a little over an hour from our airport to get up there one way and if you're coming back you're not going to back to where you need to get so you're pretty much rice and two and a half hours for like 33 bucks if that.. not only as drivers are putting our life in danger every day we get in our vehicle and pick complete strangers up is like my tax person said we're like waitresses who work for free pretty much we weren't really make money off your tips that we get from hard riderz our customers and honestly the only benefit is that we get our money's right now is bull crap in very sad that both companies have ended up this way yes totally I can say Lyft totally hands down as the better app but you can make way more and go Solo solo and don't be greedy damn like them.. companies need to realize my saying is company needs employees employees need companies let's have common sense treat your employees like family and you'll get a hard-working employee that will make you money and save you money... Hi people been saying this world has gotten pricey but shitty ... Uber and Lyft have the same investors that's my opinion deep down and they're just making these few f****** people rich as hell and I didn't realize you can't take this s*** to the gave.. have a blessed day,.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@Therideshareguy oh I have a lot more to share on both of them trust me 😉..
It's happening in Los Angeles too. At major events, the surge pricing is so pathetic at Dodger Stadium, Staple Center, Sofi Stadium, etc. Last month, there was a rave by the Queen Mary and lots of ravers came to Long Beach. I saw a bunch of big Provost party buses to drive these people to & from the music festival bc Uber/Lyft drivers don't wanna deal with the road closures & traffic nightmare for chump change. They're hiding the true surge, at least on my app for sure bc I rent the car from Lyft. They know I'm gonna drive, surge or no surge bc I'm paying $250/week for their rental car. So I get less bonus, shitty ride challenges & no ride guarantees. The guys who rarely drive Lyft bc Uber pays more, they get the best Lyft earnings guarantees. Even though I been loyal to Lyft since 2018. It's like being married to an asshole who spends all his money on hookers but is stingy with his wife. They're never gonna reward you for being a loyal veteran. It just gets worse & worse. Minimum fare in this city was $2.62 in 2018 and it's still $2.62 in 2023. I leave those trips for the hookers to get their earning guarantee money. It's like they read the book "Rules for Radicals" and decided to apply it to rideshare. It's about mafia tactics written by Sal Alinsky.
Can the rider see how you rated them and then retaliate rate you?
I don’t want to know them … they mske money from the vidro while they encourge you to drive for those Uber and Lyft for less than the minimum wage
How do u thank them on lyft??
You can't at this time. Just a 5* rating
Am I trippin or does it seem like when goes up we get paid less??
That note is not for the passenger. It’s for Lyft.
0:37 yup I do that all the time but I got kick off the app so oh well
I was having same issue bro but someone here recommended me to Spark_Techz who was able to get mine fixed bro
Up front pricing is such a scam and money loser in most cases.
👍
❤
Im lyft driver they scam passager paid $28 lyft gave me $10.01
All these are great. I was aware of all of them. Unfortunately some of them are advantages when bonuses are available. I work in a small market, Los Angeles (not) and bonuses are pretty much nonexistent. Haven’t seen one in weeks
Glad you like them!
Exactly because Lyft has changed the algorithms in the app cuz everyone is using filters in only bonus zone areas. I spoke to a Lyft rep who slipped and admitted it‼️
LYFT is Garbage 🗑️ Uber much better
No point in setting location filter if Lyft doesn’t have enough customers for that feature 😂😂 have fun waiting 15-30 min per ride
LYFT is garbage Uber is much better pay and trips just my experience
This is meaningless 😝😝
Lyft are garbage no driver’s deserve it using the f. Greedy platform
Question if you turn off ride request once you do drop off passenger once complete do you get next call or do I have to turn on ride request
Bonusses now are so low, that I don't even try.
Thank you.
