   6 years ago in  How do I support my family member who drives for Uber or Lyft?

  Well, there is two ways I am interpreting this question. 

  Financial support: Definitely find a job that pays enough to pay the bills. Go to school and learn an in-demand skillset. Being a rideshare driver is a flexible gig, which also means that what you will earn is often unclear because it depends on how much you drive and if there is surge pricing or not. 

  Emotional Support: Being compassionate is important, Uber and Lyft drivers put up with a lot of crap in their jobs. And definitely if you have a family, make sure to create a schedule ahead of time of when your family member will be driving, when you will be working, who will be watching the kids, etc.. This will make it a less stressful situation for you all. 

  Hope this helps.

   6 years ago in  2 door car on Uber?

  Are you sure? A couple months ago I had a 2-door Tesla pull up as my UberX in Boston. Not even a black car! I thought I just got lucky, but maybe the driver was bending the rules.
