We asked some top-earning drivers to share their secrets to maximizing their earnings. Get the inside scoop: https://lnkd.in/dw96uvn8

Inside Lyft's new earning features that make it more rewarding for drivers to get behind the wheel (and more in today's Rev newsletter):

Lyft can’t control the traffic or the weather. But we can make sure that every ride and every minute a driver spends on the road feels worth it. Today, we are announcing new earnings features that make it more rewarding than ever to get behind the wheel. We want drivers to love our platform, but they get frustrated when the effort to complete a ride doesn’t match their earnings. So starting today, they’ll see increased earnings for unexpected delays or out-of-the-way drop offs. And they’ll also see more transparent earnings estimates to make it easier for them to decide which rides are worthwhile. We’re also adding new tools to help them maximize their time, and benefits to enable them to succeed —?on and off the road. Our top priority is ensuring that drivers have a great experience every time they drive with Lyft. These new improvements will help give them more confidence that each ride is worth their effort. https://lnkd.in/eNpXFwku

A few weeks back I drove with Lyft in Napa Valley in the afternoon. Figured I'd give it another try on a Saturday night to experience the vibe. First one up was a Scheduled Ride. When you pre-book a ride, Drivers can see nearby scheduled rides over the next few days in their app, including the approximate route and estimated earnings. They choose whatever works best for them. Then starting an hour before the ride your driver gets a reminder notification. (They can still accept other ride requests on the way, but we make sure that they won't make the driver late for pickup.) My ride was scheduled for pickup in Calistoga at Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs at 6:45. It was also designated Extra Comfort-- my favorite mode, and one my car and I qualify for. I headed out to arrive a few minutes early. Turns out it was a group of four women on their way to dinner to celebrate a 40th birthday. I asked one of them "Why'd you choose Lyft tonight?" "Well, I'm from LA where Lyft is cheaper and faster. I also prefer Lyft's values." Nice! Then her friend piped in: "In New York City, Lyft's got some work to do. Sometimes Lyft is faster, but I use the other guys more often-- they seem to have more drivers." Fair enough. We're working on it! Dropped them off at the restaurant, revealed my secret identity. Big smiles all around. Lots of fun. The next ride request came in right as I was turned around in the parking lot-- a pickup at the Charter Oak Restaurant in St. Helena. Turned out to be a couple visiting from London... on their honeymoon! They'd spent two weeks in CA and this was their final evening before flying home. Amazing trip, though they'd underestimated the heat in Death Valley. ("It was 46 degrees" or 115 Fahrenheit. Wow.) Even though Lyft doesn't operate in London, they started using Lyft in LA based on recommendations from American TV shows and friends. Their reaction to finding out who I was? "That's absolutely mad!" Sounded like Hermione speaking with Ron. For my final ride I turned on a destination filter, meaning all requests would take me towards where I wanted to end up. Speeding back up the Silverado Trail I got a request for a pick-up at Charlie's Restaurant. He turned out to be an 88 year old guy who'd had a fun night out on the town-- "I had potato pancakes"-- but whose son-in-law wasn't available to drive him home. (This annoyed him.) So a friend called him a Lyft. I drove him home and walked him to his front door. Attached is the earnings summary Lyft provides daily, for transparency. As always, I drive to learn not to earn, and your mileage may vary. We can't guarantee demand, but we do guarantee that drivers make a minimum of 70% of what riders pay, after external fees like insurance and taxes, every week. And 100% of your tips always go to the driver. Thanks, as always, for reading. Hope you enjoyed the peek behind the curtain!
