Reviews about "money"
Return to all Reviews- Current Freelancer, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Work when you want. Business write offs. Meet great people.
Cons
Not really that busy in Oceanside, CA except early morning 2am-10am or after 3pm during the week. Advice, don't take rides that are line and if they are 10+ mins away. Large learning curve knowing the best times to start to make more money per hour. I average $15-40 an hour. Just depends how long a drive or how busy you are.

Pros
Your time and schedule is yours
Cons
Too much time (60+ hours a week) and miles on your car to make decent money.

Pros
Flexible schedule that is Ali can think of，but you work to make money，not to give cheap ride for strangers
Cons
Not enough pay, you are basically driving for about $1 per mile. Out of 15 rides，I get one $1 tip. That's right. And prime time is rather tricky and confusing. This 'job' does not worth your time and wear and tear of your vehicle.

Pros
The job allows the opportunity for flexibility
Cons
No accountability from passengers. Passengers will lie on drivers just to get their charges deducted or for free rides. Lyft doesn't care about their drivers. It anything happens the drivers are automatically blamed for it even if it isn't the driver's fault. The fares are extremely low making it hard to actually earn a decent amount of money. They don't take taxes out which creates problems because if you aren't familiar with a 1099, you may wind up owing a lot of taxes. The experience is not worth it. Customers will take advantage and go to two different destinations and when you looked to get compensated, you get nothing. Ive even been sexually fondled while giving a ride to someone going to Jersey City. WORK FOR UBER ! NOT THIS COMPANY!

Pros
None really. I thought Uber would be worse, it’s not.
Cons
No support. If someone rear ends of, Lyft is going to deactivate you. Lyft will deactivate you before a police report is written. When they deactivate you, they no longer respond. They try to fool you into thinking you can make good money and ya on your own time. LIE! They basically put you on a schedule and imply that if you want to get bonuses, you need to go out when THEY tell you to! They demonize Uber but you definitely make more money with Uber, less tips, but more money.

Pros
Flexible scheduling, easy scheduling interface, great support team. It's a great way to make your car holistically useful to the community at large while making good money. The smartphone integrated system is easy, thoughtfully designed and fast.
Cons
Almost all communication with support and management is via email and text message so if you're not comfortable with communicating almost exclusively via tech this may not be the job for you.

Pros
Flexible hours, good company vibe.
Cons
Too many changes in pay and it seems to be getting harder for drivers to make money. Income is not stable and prone to season changes.

Pros
Freedom to work on your schedule
Cons
Sometimes it's slow and money doesn't come in fast enough for it to be worth driving.

Pros
Easy flexible schedule. You meet a lot of interesting people that can provide an interesting work experience. It keeps you on your toes.
Cons
It comes and goes. Management does not care how many drivers there are. This is good for the passenger but it is not good if you want to make money.
