Lyft got me on one of those guarantees before. I thought they were paying me in addition to what I earned on my own. And ofcourse I made more myself. I learned my lesson.
this type of ride guarantee is very profitable if you implement a good strategy. In my case, I would take every short trips available and finalize it within 3-4 days .
You might wanna start to dive into the different tiers on each app. Depending on the vehicle you drive, those challenges aren't worth it. BUT, if you've got a small car like a Camry or Prius, it might be worth it. Shit, I hit $1,400 in a couple of days sometimes. That means I'm not getting any of that guarantee - because I exceed it! Folks be like, "...I did it...can I get the $1,400?". LOL! It's if you DON'T make it to $1,400 - so folks might end up doing 100 rides, making around $1,350 - then getting $50 from the Lyft Challenge to bring them up to $1,400. Again: it's all about the vehicle you're using. I think these challenges are for the lowest tiers to make driving make sense for them. The upper tiers can do well - but it better be busy or else we're sitting around doing nothing for hours! And if we drop to the lower tiers, we won't hit the challenge because we ain't making 100 trips unless to STAY on the lower tier. And that's not worth it. I can sit on the upper tier and make $40/ride for about 10 rides per day. I can bang that out and call it a day, going less than 150 miles all day. Literally sitting and waiting (which sucks, but it's like fishing). Those challenges are designed as "welfare payments" to drivers that take a lot of those $2.62 trips and $4 trips, burning thru gas like crazy!
I agree that having a smaller car saves gas. However, if you're doing short trips it also makes a huge difference in savings during an earnings guarantee.
@@Thehandsomeliberal definitely does! Imagine doing 20 short trips versus 20 long trips. You can do 4 to 5 per hour and be done in 4hrs with one. But long trips will take you all damn day - and that's a lotta time and gas!
Im renting a car through Uber after a drunk driver hit me in March, and they require I do only their platform through the rental agreement. I was doing doordash, Grubhub and Ubereats in my subcompact car before the accident. The rental allowed me to start doing rides, but they took Uber eats away now so I can't do both. It's literally non-existent in the area where you select what things you'll do. I need to call them. I click on sign up for Eats and it has some error. And rides have been crap. Long waits between rides, low pay, no opportunities or really low ones. I rarely see surge pricing.
You have to go and work in an area near you where it busy city and only take short trips 1 to 3 miles. I live in New Castle Pennsylvania which is very slow so I go to Youngstown Ohio for Door Dash and for Lyft, when there’s guarantees or challenges promotion I go to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Understanding how to extract potential value from these earnings "guarantee" offers is not very hard for experienced drivers who know their market. At least it shouldn't be. If the per ride average of the bonus is higher than your personal per ride average, by a worthwhile amount, focus hardcore on hoovering up as many quick short rides as possible, regardless of how bad the pay offer is, as long as it's quick and short. Hard pass on rides that take up too much time or miles, if you're confident you're going to clear the bonus, any additional earnings on the medium and long rides is literally worth $0. Medium & long rides are a 100% pure waste of your time miles and gas. Also, if you're trying to clear a quest bonus or guarantee bonus, *DON'T* wait until the last day. Plan your driving to clear the bonus a good solid day in advance. If there's a decent size bonus in play, that last 12-18 hours before the deadline, *EVERY* driver who is still short is going to be out on the road. Many of them won't make it. I don't have insider knowledge, but I wouldn't put it past either uber or lyft that one of the factors in the dispatching algorithm is to attempt to minimize bonus payouts.
Man they got no more guarantee and when i try adding the promotion it won't allow it Lyft is just ripping off nee drivers like my self now they want 200 rides for 1500 and still wont give a brother any promotion
I took 190 ride guarantee 1900$ in 30 day. I complete the trip and Uber only paid 103.84 . They said I didn’t make the 1900. So they paid me the different what should I do-
Before I read the comments, I also thought it was additional “prize” money. I couldn’t understand why they kept saying they’d pay the difference. They’re saying that you can average that amount of pay with that amount of trips. They didn’t wrong you, the wording fooled me. Did that make sense?
Oh, wait! You’re saying that you did the amount of trips in the allotted time and they are saying that you didn’t and you only received a small amount of money?
@The Handsome Liberal easily! Tourism alone makes their Promotion great plus congestion tax they get. Also most work 8 plus hours a day. They make easily $500 a day if they want too. I work in Jersey doing Uber. But they ain't accepting TLC right now. I'm doing about 75k in jersey

Me too like most people

smart
Now Uber have $2600 for 200 rides. $13 per ride average. Lots of super low rides offers in Austin Tx.
Great video. Excellent information!
Hey thanks for the compliment. Kind regards!
Your strategy makes a lot of sense lol great video
You're the TRUTH!!!
Good information
Thanks for the advice about to start soon good info
In 3 years in Chattanooga tn I never seen a quest from uber
In my market I haven't seen earnings guarantees in a couple of years.
I also subscribed to your Dam Channel lol
Appreciate the support!

What hours you work?
What are the busiest hours Monday-Thursday?

$1,400 in 2 days? What market are you in?
I’m a new driver and when I received them I knew it was including what I earned so I took the shortest rides. South Florida is not the best market.
Smart play

Do you know how to figure out which markets pay the most per mile?

If the per ride average of the bonus is higher than your personal per ride average, by a worthwhile amount, focus hardcore on hoovering up as many quick short rides as possible, regardless of how bad the pay offer is, as long as it's quick and short.

Everything they do is about minimizing our profits. It's almost their mission statement now.
I'm about to send you a picture of Facebook I literally started my own taxi company
How’s that working out for you so far
Good luck to compete with Uber and Lyft lol
Its gotta start somewhere
Interested in how you started it
Bait and switch happened 3 times just last night alone so uber does bait and switch
I am in NY suburbs I have never gotten earnings guaranteed only streak's
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Last night two stop trip 46.7 miles and i was paid 35.33 cents be real dude
Terrible. Hope they at least gave you a tip
Man they got no more guarantee and when i try adding the promotion it won't allow it Lyft is just ripping off nee drivers like my self now they want 200 rides for 1500 and still wont give a brother any promotion
rideshare professor is promoting his business gigworker...lmao.. Greeedy guy! just like uber or lyft.
Wow! I sure hope not

Never offered it
This weekend uberhas 120 .00 for 80 rides come 1400.00 be real man uber has never offered 1400.00 for 60 trips i been driving about 11 months now
Its exceptionally rare, but it has happened before
That was Lyft with that offer, not Uber. And I’ve been driving for 6+ years and they used to have high bonuses back in the day. Not so much anymore.
Unless you drive in NYC lol. They Making 6 figures
You think the average driver in NYC is bringing in 6 figures?
