Scheduling a long Lyft ride from Orlando airport to Sebring, FL (85 miles)

In a few weeks I'll need to get from the Orlando Airport to Sebring, Florida, which is a distance of 85 miles. I sometimes rent a one-way car rental, but they are so pricey right now and it's always chaotic at the rental agencies in Orlando. My Lyft app is telling me that the cost of this one-way ride is about $100, which would be worth it to me. My question is, I have read in some places that Lyft and Uber have limits on how far they will let you go, so any insight on that would be helpful. …

Can I drive someone else's car for Uber? (or Can my friend drive my car for Uber?)

The more you use Uber, the more expensive it gets. (Upfront Pricing)

Posted by StuffinMuffin 843 Driver Rider in Tips from Rideshare Experts & Bloggers (34 comments )

I figured this would be the case. With the introduction of upfront pricing, Uber can charge customers anything they want. They will ask for any amount riders are willing to pay. I have heard cases where during the hours when the business users are out, the overall fare goes up. Trips to and from airports? You guessed it. It'll go up because people are willing to pay. All the cheap Uber fares that we have gotten accustomed to are about to go out the window. Regulators and law makers who shoved the taxis out. Are you happy now? What about …

If you were the new CEO of Uber, with absolute power, what would be the first thing you'd change?

I am asking the current Uber drivers, but anyone's welcome.

Polite way to ask drivers not to talk to me on trips after chemo when I'm exhausted?

Posted by xSeagull215 1 Rider in Ask a Driver (1 comment )

So I take Lyft or Uber to the hospital. I get chemo I'll need for the rest of my life (I can't drive and it's way too long a day and way too regular to get a lift from friends). I'm always polite, am always waiting for the driver at the curb when they pull up, always say hello and "so how's your day going? Hope we don't hit traffic, etc." I always tip cash. But during the trip I really want a silent ride. I sometimes talk to drivers if I'm going somewhere fun, but this is hospital treatment. …

Trying to get a Uber or Lyft let no man take cash do you

Can I ask my Uber driver to NOT record me with his webcam? If I do not want to be recorded, shouldn't I be able to request that?

Posted by NancyStride 74 in Ask a Driver (60 comments )

Even calling into a customer service call (at a bank or whatever), we have the choice of asking not to be recorded. What about with rideshares like Uber and Lyft? I understand that the car is a private property, and drivers have the rights to record inside their cabin. However, do I have the right to not be recorded upon request?

As a driver, have you kicked out a passenger? Ended a ride early mid-trip?

Posted by WWBlueStuff 268 Driver in Ask a Driver (79 comments )

Please do share. Remember when some dude died after getting kicked off Lyft? I can't help it to think he did something to be kicked out, you know?

No Surge or PPZ’s For Being The Only Driver Out After 9pm?

Posted by FeeNominal 1 Driver (1 comment )

I’ve driven for both Lyft & Uber since 2018, lots of WTH? moments with price increases for passengers and drivers never seeing any of it, and split in fee’s going from 80/20 to 40/60 - so acceptance is key here. I have to say though, this latest “normal procedure” is a jagged little pill to swallow. Every since this pandemic hit, it seems no other drivers want to drive after 9pm here in Albuquerque. Or, if there are it’s typically me and one other driver for all of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Passengers are waiting up to an hour dealing …

Taxi driver found dead in taxi while in airport queue, no one noticed for 3 days!

Posted by bettyvanwhy 187 Rider in Rideshare News (2 comments )

OMG! This is insane. Taxi drivers at Heathrow airport are waiting in their cabs for DAYS to pick up just one fare! Apparently one of the drivers died in his car while in the queue and no one noticed for 3 days because the line was moving so slowly. I cannot even comprehend this story right now.https://www.paddleyourownkanoo.com/2021/05/16/taxi-driver-found-dead-in-his-cab-at-heathrow-airport-after-waiting-in-days-long-queue-for-a-fare/

Can a parent order Uber or Lyft for a teenager? My kids?

Posted by JessMin99 148 in Ask a RideGuru (83 comments ) 1 guru answer

Is that legit? or better yet, legal? I am not breaking the terms of using the Uber account as I am the one with the account and credite card. I have three children and I'd love to utilize Uber or Lyft. Safe too.

on drop-off, driver almost hit me and stole my belongings in one sweep

Posted by angryride101 13 Driver in Angry Riders (5 comments )

hi y'all. I had a HORRENDOUS lyft experience in phoenix az. my lyft driver barely waited for me to get out of the car, and before I fully shut the door, she took off with my suitcase. lyft has refused to help, I understand my stuff is long gone but the driver faced ZERO consequences, lyft informed me that she will not be suspended or face any charges for the crime she clearly committed. I filed a police report, not so much to get my stuff back, but to try to ensure that she wont do this to someone else …
