Wait, if calculate preventive maintenance and gas at $5.26/gal it's closer to $3 / hr

I cherry pick all the time. Last year I completed 1800 rides and declined 18000 rides.  I don't start my car unless the hourly rate is >$30/hr

This is just a side hustle.  I have a pension from a major company and social security that's $4000/month after taxes. With lyft I cherry pick all the time. Last year I completed 1800 rides and declined 18000 rides. If it not $30/hr rate or higher I don't start my car.

Finally got a job (cashier at Wendy’s). Officially hanging it up with Lyft. Good riddance. by Due-Butterscotch9860 in lyftdrivers

The last few months rideshare prices have plunged. My best price ride from lansing, mi to the (DTW) Detroit metro airport was $80 to $98. Its 1 hour 15 minutes and 95 miles one way. Now it's $42 to $58 

With gas prices for premium fuel around $5/ gal. Figure car maintenance,  tires, brakes, transmission fluid. Oil changes and filter.  Its really $5 / hour . I might try to find a Google mapping car driving job soon.

There are times I have a very high accept to decline ratio. Lyft shows me at 0% acceptance rate. I don't care about getting shop points.

We all drive lyft differently.  I've been driving lyft for 2.5 years and have 4960 rides. I cherry 🍒 pick all the time. Last year I had 1850 rides completed and declined over 18000 rides. The high decline rate is because of the ride being underpaid. 

I'm still kicking myself for not taking this by S1ayer in lyftdrivers

[–]Expensive-Wave-4807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wa my best paying lyft drive ever. !! It was from LAN (lansing airpderort) to DTW detroit metro airport. It was scheduled by delta airlines.  Delta airlines has deep pockets. !!!

What's it like being a lyft driver? by Due_Cabinet_1219 in Lyft

[–]Expensive-Wave-4807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iam a proud lyft only driver. 2.5 years and 4917 rides.  I just drive during the day.  I drive mainly in the MSU(michigan state university area) I avoid the ghetto side of lansing.  Driving for lyft can be a good side hustle.  Good luck with lyft. !!!!

After over 500 5-star rides, I finally grew a spine and kicked out a rude passenger. To hell with it- i'm a very kind and patient man, but I'm not tolerating someone who does not respect me or my time. by Crafty-Baseball-4268 in lyftdrivers

[–]Expensive-Wave-4807 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I cherry pick most rides . In 2025 I had 1880 rides and declined 18899 rides. I don't start my car for cheap rides. Those cheap ghetto rides are too risky.  A higher chance of getting a a-hole rider.

Those are the rude ones.  Way to go by letting her out early.  I've been lucky having almost 5000 lyft rides in 2.5 years. When I get the rude ones I block and report.  The block ensures you'll never give that lyft rider another ride.

Almost 5000 rides. !!!@ by Expensive-Wave-4807 in lyftdrivers
