As a Lyft or Uber driver, can I choose to only give rides to friends and family?

    I'd also add that you can get deactivated by Uber for doing this. Uber would consider it prearranging rides, which is against the Community Guidelines. Look under the Fraud and Illegitimate behavior section: https://www.uber.com/legal/community-guidelines/us-en/

    Doing it once or twice would likely be ok, but if you made a habit out of it, you'd eventually be deactivated.

    Well if it's a luxury vehicle you can use section 179... You will be compensated the full cost of the vehicle to do business if it is over 6000 lbs. So if it's your club hoping ride, legally it would be valid and you'd be paying far less per month than actually financing the vehicle. Depending on how long you keep it up you'd make more money from the reimbursement than your spend for your friend using your service... And it'll be legal. Only issue would be if u curve keep up the business

    Why do it?  My buddy has to go for training 30 miles away and his company will reimburse for Lyft.
