First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Lyft.
Driver
It was online and via text. Getting to speak with someone live to ask things not in the FAQ was tough at first but I managed. I had to upload my CDL, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance, then give my social security number. After waiting nearly 2 weeks for a background check, I got a text to meet my mentor and bring my original documents to finish up and interview. My car wouldn't pass because the AC was broken, so I'm using their new rental/lease program and will pick up my car in a few days. I'll update after I've driven a bit.
- Are you prepared to start driving?
- Can I pass a background check?
- Is my car going to pass the safety inspection?
Driver
You'll meet with a mentor who'll check out your personality and your car. They'll do a vehicle inspection, looking at tire tread and lights. They'll also have an in-depth chat about your personality since you'll be talking to passengers. My mentor mentioned the job can be tough sometimes, but advised to stay cool and call emergency services if anything serious happens. They stressed always watching the road and getting a phone mount. You can work whenever you want, but they pointed out some 'peak' hours are better.
- What makes you want to drive for Lyft?
Driver
What a disappointment Lyft is. After sending them Pictures of ME(selfie on specific background) My drivers license, My car, my license plate ,my Inspection sticker, registration and proof of insurance. I was told in order to verify me they need a copy of my SScard or tax return. I sent the SScard. That was a month ago. I emailed several times got same response were working on it be patient. No phone to call no way to speak with a human. I give up.
- Can you send in a copy of your tax return?
