Reviews about Pay & Benefits for Driver in Lyft
Boring
Part Time Driver (Current Employee) - Falls Church, VA - January 20, 2019
The salary wasn’t enough, you work all day sometimes and you make less than $70, and for me that’s not enough here in Washington dc area, that’s why I wanted to find a better job
Pros
Discount on trips
Cons
Not enough salary

The flexibility is your saving grace
Driver (Current Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - June 26, 2022
Lyft knows that their employees value flexibility, being that most of their drivers have families and others jobs, and to be honest they take advantage of that! Overall, it's very disappointing that a multi billion dollar company can't even pay their driver $1 per mile!
Pros
Flexibility, be your own boss
Cons
Long hours, low pay, gas and mileage

Eeking out a living
Driver (Current Employee) - Denver, CO - June 25, 2022
Working for Lyft is sort of odd. You can make good money in driving nights and weekends in the summer, but the rest of the time? Not much. And now, with gas prices being INSANE, there isnt really any money to be made. Thanks, Biden Administration!
