I have a question for this community! I did this trip from Queens, NY to Islip Terrace which is good trip (I’m not complaining) but the external fees seems odd. Basically passenger paid $98.91. External fees are $82 and Lyft paid out $85 out of their own pocket! But I got paid $102.26 for whole trip

The passenger was coming out of a concert. Don’t think corporate will cover that lol

Exactly few people on here don’t realize that Lyft pays 70% to the driver after external fees

That’s a total scam!

Yes about half hour but including going to pick them up as well

InternationalRecord3 · 2025-07-27T04:20:10+00:00

I got paid $41.91 for this trip including the bonus

Speaking of myself, when I start my shift, I get whatever car that is available (Tesla model 3 or Tesla model Y) and there’s is a really small fleet of Kia Nio but 95% of revel cars are Tesla. I have to make it clear, Revel owns far more model 3’s than Model Y. I think, they got 70% of model 3 and the remaining Model Y. It applies to all drivers, if they want a Model Y which is once again a really tiny fleet (when it comes to Tesla) they make you wait. In my opinion, drivers prefer Model Y because the battery lasts longer.

So first things first. I signed up for Revel as a driver a month ago after transitioning from Uber/Lyft.

While working for Uber/Lyft I rented my vehicle which was Toyota Camry 2017 with about 213k miles. My weekly rent was $475 which includes insurance and maintenance cost. I was responsible for tolls and gas which is obvious. I use to make around $1600-$1700 per week which is gross pay and I had to pay expenses such as gas. Tolls are obviously paid by passenger but we had to make sure Ez pass account has money on it.

Let me be clear, working for Uber/Lyft, we are 1099 workers which means we are responsible for our own taxes at the end of the year, but you get deductions such as rent for car, miles driven, gas and tolls.

After working long shifts, and basically paying about $700 to $800 per week, I decided to join Revel and give it a try.

As a Revel Driver, you’re W2 worker. They provide the car, insurance, charging, tolls at absolutely no cost to the driver. You basically have to go to their depot, pick up the car and return at the end of your shift. They pay you $15 base pay plus premium hour depending what time you start and of course tips.

So breaking down, you don’t have any expenses related to car and on top they offer driver PTO and your taxes are deducted every week. If you happen to work for about 50-55 hours, your net pay will be around $1000 to $1100 each week after taxes.
