You're home from work and it's Friday. You need extra money and don't want to take out your credit card. You decided it's a nice spring evening and grab your smartphone, keys and rush out the door. You swipe your phone's screen and there it is a big bright red spot on the Uber app. The spot appears and reappears every five to ten minutes in different places.
A friend at work told you about lyft and how they give drivers hourly guarantees. This means that you drive at a certain time of day and make more. Uber is more well known while lyft is the little brother in the rideshare family. They both earn you money but, which one is better. I say both are the same neither is better than the other. Uber has more users period, so you'll make more money if you are in major city. Lyft has more rural users.
It doesn't matter which service you use just make sure you do a good job because if your rating drops below a 4.6 with eitther company you could possibly become permanently deactivated. In the beginning it's best to only do a few rides a day. Because too many bad rides in the beginning can lower your rating. You won't know how low it is until it becomes displayed in the ratings portion of either app. The rating is not there from your first ride on. Don't worry your rating does not mean anything until 100 trips for Lyft and 500 trips for Uber. Then your rating has to be above 4.6 or you may be a former lyft employee.
Surprisingly many clients will leave you a good rating if you ask them for one before they leave.
All in all the money you'll earn from working for yourself is rewarding. The best part is you can do it anytime you wish.
