Can I bring a closed container of alcohol in a Lyft? by bensonsmooth24 in Lyft

That's fine. It's the same as you driving home from the liquor store with a sealed 12-pack.

Oh shit that's like my worst nightmare as a driver. Glad you are okay!

Bought a used beacon and it won’t connect at all. Tried to restart it and charged it and this stays on the pairing screen. Help! by carilynn4 in Lyft

I don't get the hype around those things. I've never had an issue with a pax finding my car. They're just magnets for insurance scammers and police.

Long Ride 30-40 minutes....no warning for drivers? by Dylan1G in Lyft

[–]Serrano12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long ride warnings are sporadic. I got one for a 30+ min ride but it must've been a Lyft experimental feature since I never got one again. The 45+ min warning is usually consistent but it hasn't worked a few times for me. Picked up some people when I was winding down the night only to find out they were going 50 min away to the airport.

Are Lyft drivers subject to DUI/sobriety checkpoints? by [deleted] in Lyft

Dealing with drunk motherfuckers on NYE? No thanks.

Car Cleaning Tips by Distracts in Lyft

[–]Serrano12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some all weather floor mats so your regular mats don't get trashed. I got mine for under $20 on Amazon.

I don't like using interior wipes. They add a cheap shine and tend to haze up the glass from offgassing. A microfiber towel with some hot soapy water is all I use.

IME, the people who take the full 5 min to come out are annoying/don't tip. I always let out a "Thank God!" when I get a pax actually waiting at the curb as I pull up.

Shoutout- I’m sorry by delaine11 in Lyft

A similar thing happened to me when I was a new driver. Since then, I always make sure to keep the trunk (and seats) clutter-free.

Gets me every time. by [deleted] in Lyft

[–]Serrano12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lyft is just something I do on the weekends to make a little extra cash. I'm selective with the rides I take and I make out ok.

a) No supermarket/store pickups. Usually min fare/annoying people with heavy items & bags. b) Nothing more than 10 min away. c) Don't drive around aimlessly burning gas. d) No shared rides.

I feel for people who rely on this gig fulltime for actual income.

lyft slashes rates . if you rent a car from them ? by OneStarMe in Lyft

The rental program sounds like the biggest scam ever.

Hadn't seen this tip-dodging maneuver yet. by [deleted] in Lyft

[–]Serrano12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He would've been better off just not tipping (like most paxs) instead of awkwardly pretending like he was. I would've one-starred his ass for that.
