New driver, here. Thanks so much for the tips! I’ll be sure to take it easy on my first couple of goes. I’m no stranger to driving people around being an Ingress player, and I’ve worked retail for years, so the customer service aspect is important to me. Safe and sound is what we want.

Speaking of phones, service is a biggie. I know uber partners a lot with sprint, but unfortunately, they don't do data and voice at the same time. Thus, your location won't update to the rider when on a call. Also, if you use the phone when not on a run, you won't get pings. Verizon used to be that way too, but i saw a sign on a store that says "always on data", so they may have it now.

Uh-oh! At 9:11 into the video, we're discussing deductibles . . . Lyft no longer has the $2500 deductible. Around 11/2018, it was lowered to $1,000 (along with lowering their per mile rate to $0.5). The rest of changes had to do with Lyft Express. One question I have is there insurance for when the car is down for an extended period of time? My car has been down and at the dealer for 2, going on 3 weeks, putting me almost $1,100 "in the hole." Anyway 'loved the video! Thanks!

I do not receive many tips at all. I pick up the rider, ask them how they are doing, how their day is, have mints for them, chatting with them. So I get 1 to 2 tips a week.

Vickie, I have found that it also depends on the age of your riders. I have found that the older passenger's are the ones that tend to tip more often.

I receive most of my tips from business travelers. They turn it in on their expense reports and it doesn't cost them personally a penny. Followed closely in second place by servers/wait staff which initially surprised me but now makes sense.They too have to put up with a lot of crap and don't make much of a base salary

Here in South Carolina there aren't any insurance companies that offer insurance for RideShare due to the state insurance underwriting laws. At least that's what I got from my current insurance company. I'm still going to do more research with other insurance providers here to make sure.

Long Rides. Here's an Idea. My Longest Pick Up Request was 31 Miles and 38 Minutes Away. I average 3-5 15-20+ mile away requests a Week in my area. I No Longer accept any rides that are 10 miles or more away. When LYFT starts compensating it's Drivers for these Long Pick Ups then I will. I think LYFT should charge the Passenger .25 cents per mile for any request over 10 miles payable directly to the driver, and let the passenger decide whether they want the ride or not. Don't put this on the drivers.

i dont agree about the phone situation... get the cheapest sufficient phone because its going to be getting baked in the sun and overheated and the battery will be destroyed pretty quickly . promoting other buisinesses will get you deactivated, i got deactivated for it without ever doing it. about babies it was a frequent thing for me to have to say no to riders before it became legal here in brisbane australia, all of them paid cancellation fee... but now rideshare drivers are excempt and i will take any anything thats thrown at me. i have a 4.61 rating and i sucessfully get my passengers from a to b within estimated fare 99.9% of the time and sometimes cause being a human you make mistakes or the phone fails ... i take a glance a fraction of a second look at my phone and back to the road... sure ive had to use my brakes to do a emergency stop to avoid collisions and obey the law...
