Ridesharing: When and Where to drive

As a rideshare driver, you will need to know the best times and where to drive to make the most money. Many drivers primarily drive nights and weekends to attract the party-goers. Utilize the info below to create a schedule that works best for you.

Busy Driving Times

Ridesharing is becoming busier than ever! We wanted to provide some information to help you make the most money driving with the various ridesharing platforms by choosing when and where to drive.

Drivers can increase their income by 25-30% by driving during busier times, particularly during rush hours and on weekends. Demand is consistently high during these hours:
Weekday Rush Hours:

Monday-Friday: 8-10am and 5-8pm

Weekend Peak Hours:

Friday: 7pm – 2am

Saturday: 7pm – 2am

Sunday: 11am – 10pm

Tips and Tricks

Weekday commuting hours and weekend evenings are the busiest times and driving during these times could result in earning 25 – 30% more in fares

Rider demand is extremely high for the early morning airport runs on Friday and Monday mornings between 4AM and 8AM.

We also see lots of riders at festivals,  tourist attractions, games, graduations, concerts, airports, tradeshows, and other activities that attract large crowds– so don’t forget about those areas!

LYFT: $1200 per week Guarantee for Full Time Drivers

Weekly Guarantees for New Drivers

New drivers in select cities are eligible for $1,200 weekly guarantees for their first 4 weeks. If they don’t hit the guarantee amount on their own, LYFT will cover the difference.

Eligible drivers must fulfill all of the following requirements:

1. Be approved to drive with Lyft in an eligible weekly guarantee city during the promo, either by following the application link within an advertisement for Lyft weekly guarantees, or using a referral code for the weekly guarantee promo.
2. Get approved as a Lyft driver within 30 days of their original application date.
3. Give 60 rides, stay in drive mode for 50 hours, and maintain a 90% weekly acceptance rate in that week.

An easy way to think of it: By completing steps one and two, the driver is eligible for this guarantee in general. Step three is how they qualify for each week.

Completing Step 3

After fulfilling steps 1 and 2, the driver is eligible for a weekly guarantee for each of the first 4 weeks following their approval as a Lyft driver. The first week begins at 5 a.m. on the first Monday after approval. The driver can qualify for any or all of the designated weeks. For each week, the driver needs to fulfill these requirements:

• 60 completed rides. Lyft Line rides count as one ride, no matter how many pickups or drop-offs there are.
• 50 hours in driver mode. There is no ride per hour requirement — the driver can give three rides in one hour, and zero rides in the next hour, and both of those hours would count towards the promo. There’s also no peak hour requirement for this promo.
• 90% weekly acceptance rate. This is listed on Tuesday weekly summaries.

The required number of completed rides, hours in driver mode, and weeks of the guarantee is city-specific, and is specified in the emails that the eligible driver receives.

Calculating the Guaranteed Amount

At the end of each pay period (which runs from 5 a.m. Monday through 4:59 a.m. the following Monday), all eligible ride payments and tips are totaled. Eligible ride payments include:

• Pre-commission time and distance
• Prime Time
• Tips

Tolls, airport fees, and Trust & Safety fees aren’t included. If the total eligible ride payments and tips for that pay period exceed the guaranteed weekly amount, great! If not, we’ll bonus the driver the difference (after taking out Lyft’s commission). See the LYFT Help Center for an example.

Collecting the Guarantee

If the driver qualifies for some or all of the weekly guarantees, they’ll receive the difference between their ride payments and tips, and the guaranteed amount, in the next week’s direct deposit. The difference will be listed as a line item in the Tuesday Weekly Summary, and will not be included in daily summaries.

Additional Terms

Please note that the following terms apply, and are subject to change:

• Weekly guarantees are based on pre-commission ride payments and tips, and any resulting bonuses are subject to Lyft’s commission.
• Power Driver Bonuses do not apply to the Lyft commission that is taken out of weekly guarantee bonuses.
• Eligible drivers cannot also receive a new driver referral bonus — only one code can be applied upon applying to drive with Lyft.
• Lyft driver eligibility and approval is determined at the sole discretion of Lyft, and is not guaranteed.
• The duration of the application review process may vary.
• Participation in this promotion is subject to Lyft’s terms of service.
• This promotion runs for a limited time only and may be suspended or ended at any time in Lyft’s discretion. The amount of the guarantee varies by market and time of application and may be changed in Lyft’s discretion.
• Only select cities are participating in this promotion.
