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.

Be Your Own Boss…It’s the Only Way!!

Getting Hired: The Process

In previous industries, the average applicant has been conditioned to applying to jobs by sending out countless resumes, putting on a suit for 3-part interviews, having to lie to their current job about where they are going, but there are only so many “I have a Dr.’s appointment excuse” that one can give when on the hunt for another job.

Or maybe you have been unemployed for awhile. You have the degree, have revised your resume numerous times, but for some reason you are still getting the “Thank you for applying…we have decided to pursue other candidates.” At this point, you feel hopeless. You ask yourself, “Why are they not hiring me?”, ” What exactly do these other candidates offer that I don’t?”, ” What am I going to do now?”.

Stop right there!

You have EVERYTHING that it takes to get ANY job done!! Maybe the job you applied for would have never appreciated you for YOU. Maybe the position would have been way more stressful and not worth the 1+hr commute in traffic that it was going to take to get there. There are many reasons, that you may never know, of why you did not get that position but that is not what you should focus on. Take a deep breath, refocus, and figure out what you are going to do NOW!

Yes you can go back to the drawing board, spend your days applying for jobs online, and keep getting turned down. Sounds like fun right?

How about we add another activity to the mix, that will actually bring you income while you are applying for jobs 25-30 hrs a week?

The On-Demand industry has an ease of entry that no other industry can match besides owning your own business. If you have a CAR, CLEAN BACKGROUND, CLEAR DMV,  18+ for courier positions, and 21+ for driver positions, then guess what? YOU ARE HIRED. It really is that simple.

The Interview:

You may have a brief phone interview for a few of the platforms. If so, this is not the norm but if you do, put your best foot forward. Tell the interviewer of your customer service experience, what you like to do for fun, and how excited you are to come on board for the company.

This is not the time to gripe about previous employers. That type of attitude will leave you unemployed forever with most on-demand companies. The premise behind the on-demand industry is that you are a customer service professional providing a service with your vehicle. THAT IS IT! No catch to it.

Many busy professionals do not have the time to pick up or do their own laundry, get their own groceries, or drive to varying appointments or events to have to go through the hassle of paying for parking.

That’s where you come in! By joining the On-Demand Industry you become a well paid personal driver, errand runner, waitress, dog walker, sitter….There are so many industries for you to join.

How long does it take?

Well the process really depends on you. Once you sign up for the platform of your choice you will be able to upload any required documents, consent to the background check, and then wait 3-4 days for a response via email or phone. If you do not hear back from the company, please visit their website and send an email to their support team to check on your application. Do not worry, your chances of getting hired will not be hindered if you check on your status. These companies need you just as much as you need them.

Will I be hired for Part-Time or Full-Time Positions?

The choice is up to you and your schedule. The best part of this industry is that you work when you want to. Many drivers and couriers have Full Time jobs and do this a Part-Time job and others do this Full-Time. Whether you are looking for the perfect part-time job, supplemental income, or just need something to make ends meet while you find your dream job, there is always a place for you in the On-Demand industry.

Interested… Apply HERE

Am I an employee? Do I get benefits?

No. You are not an employee and you will not get benefits. In these positions you are considered an independent contractor. You make your own hours, taxes are not taken out of your check- please keep all receipts, and most importantly you are your own boss! If you take off of work for a week, there will not be anybody calling to ask where you are and you will not make any money for that week. There will not be a penalty for not signing into the platform either. Take as much time off as you want!! However, with most of the on-demand companies they will deactivate your account if you haven’t worked in a certain amount time., i.e 30-45 days on the UBER platform.

How do I apply?

So you think you are ready to make some form of income, whether it is part-time or full-time in a flexible industry? If your answer is yes and you believe that you meet the requirements then please visit the BYOBCA website to apply to the various positions available in this industry. You will be happy that you did!
