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

  Posted by JessMin99 108 in Ask a RideGuru (46 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.

  What is the "cleaning fees" and "vomit" SCAM by Uber drivers? Should I be concerned? How do I avoid them?

  Posted by KWalkins in Rideshare Scams (19 comments )   1 guru answer

  I heard from my nephew that Uber drives are sometimes so desperate to make money that they would randomly charge cleaning fees for no reason whatsoever.  Is this true?  What can I do to stop it or make sure it doesn't happen.

  DRIVERS STOP DRIVING CHILDREN WITHOUT CAR SEATS. Car Seat Issue Yet Again! What is wrong with patents? Drivers? Uber & Lyft???

  Posted by momof4 2946 Rider Driver in Hey Drivers! (4 comments )

  Last Friday night I get a request on Lyft XL 8 min away at 1030pm at Dave & Busters. I assume its a family, bachelor party, etc... I pull up its 2 young 20 something females with 4 toddlers all under age of 4. They were tiny little children maybe 25lbs soaking wet. I start with sorry cant take you. Mom asks why?

  As a Driver, will you buy Uber or Lyft stock when it becomes available?

  Posted by Wes 1057 Rider Driver in Hey Drivers! (8 comments )

  It appears both Lyft (which has already initiated the paperwork to go Public) and now Uber is rushing to follow, will go public in 2019.  This means stock will be available to anyone that can afford to invest.Which begs the question - will you, as a driver that truly understands how Uber/Lyft operate, be willing (assuming you're financially capable) to invest in Uber or Lyft stock?  Do you feel it's a good long term investment, and if so, why?As a driver myself, I certainly appreciate that anyone driving Uber/Lyft full time as a primary source ...

  Uber for Deliveries

  Posted by AstonDE Rider Driver in Industry Blogs & Opinions (5 comments )

  If you were one of the 28 million Americans who moved their families between 2012 and 2013, you probably spent more on your move than you needed to. Additionally, getting the items you need delivered on time without negatively impacting your schedule is important. Recent studies have also revealed that the wealthier segments of the population are more likely to stay put, but their needs haven't changed when it comes to getting items delivered. Delivery on-demand, from food, to amazon orders, to groceries, and furniture, has become a normal part of our lives. "Uber for Deliveries" as some call ...

  MEDIUM COOL (Only Really Old People Will Get The Title)

  Posted by TerryIrving 230 Driver in Driver Confessions (2 comments )

  In order to keep my brain working while I drive in endless circles in midnight DC, I take black and white photos of what’s out there at night and post on a Instagram account under the #lyftwriter and #dcnights hashtags. (Well, I USED to drive Lyft and it sounded better than #Uberwriter. That seems a bit egotistical. It started when a couple of bikers went at it right in front of me in the primary club zone. I couldn’t go anywhere, so I took pictures. I even bought a iPhone 8Plus supposedly for the bigger screen but really ...

  Posted by momof4 2946 Rider Driver in Hey Passengers! (20 comments )

  As a rider there are various reasons for taking Uber/Lyft. Here are some of the reasons riders gave me. DUI, suspended license,  dont want to drink & drive, lease car dont want to put miles on, dont have a car, cheaper than parking, and dont want to risk accident in bad weather, public transportation stinks in my area, cheaper, cleaner, more convenient then a cab.  They are saving you money, no risk to your car during inclement weather, no risk for you getting in accident if drinking & driving & saving you from DUI or worse.  If driver is ...

  The Importance of Staying Alert (The World Needs More 'LERTS)

  Posted by TerryIrving 230 Driver in Driver Confessions (4 comments )

  At about 8 hours into a fairly typical Saturday night shift in downtown Washington - a shift that, of course, had already included a bunch of drunks, the existence of a new rule from the DC Police that blocked Ubers and Lyfts from blocking the bike lanes. (Since the bike lanes are outside the parking spots on a street, this means either parking in the middle of the travel lane or getting your ride to find you in the first semi-legal space you can find. The only funny part about all this was the first policeman who screamed—literally screamed—at ...

  Passengers need to wear seatbelts especially in bad weather if not all the time. Also need to consider tipping in bad weather.

  Posted by momof4 2946 Rider Driver in Hey Passengers! (14 comments )

  The weather was completely awful in Philly, New Jersey, Lower Bucks County, and probably many other areas. Wind, downpouring rain non stop, flooding everywhere. Places that never flood were flooded. Had 7 trips up & down I-95 (Street Rd. To CC) each accident was worst than the one before. The last one I witnessed 4 cars were involved, firemen were using saws, jaws of life to cut people out of these totally wrecked cars. After this I was done for the night it was so not worth it to be on the road anymore. First I want to say PASSENGERS ...
