Are you looking for ways to earn some extra income — maybe to add to your Christmas fund this year?
Sign up to drive with Lyft — a ride sharing app that matches drivers with passengers requesting rides.
In the past year, Lyft surpassed one million rides per day and now covers over 94% of the U.S. — meaning that 9 out of 10 Americans have access to a ride within just minutes.
This is a great way to make some money on the side, because you can drive as little or as much as you want and set your own schedule.
And Lyft recently added several ways for drivers to earn even more:
- Different driver incentives for each city to earn more.
- High Earning Alerts that update you in real-time when Prime Time spikes, even when your app is closed.
- Higher tip options, resulting in a 13% increase in tips — meaning more money per ride that you give. (And you get to keep 100% of your tips for yourself!)
Signing up to be a Lyft Driver is really simple! Just add your phone number, complete the application, and download the Lyft Driver app to get started!
I am very interested in being a Lyft driver.
But am concerned about insurance coverage.
I know my personal auto insurance does not cover when I drive for hire.
Does Lyft cover this?
Look forward to your response.
Great question!!

This was just what I was looking for.
Checked with my agent and was told that Progressive now has a policy specific to fill in the gaps. Including a lower comp. and collision deductible.
With this, I feel comfortable with the coverage.
Thanks,
Dennis
