To OP, I've read this entire thread and it motivated me to sign up as a Lyft driver. I'm a divorced mom and it not only provides extra cash but it's yielded me some interesting trips, all positive! I've had some great passengers with fascinating stories. It's almost like a live Humans of NY and keeps me busy when kid is with exDH.

I'm still a bit nervous so I keep it to daytime hours and dusk only for now but I've really enjoyed it.

I'm only betting about $18-20/hour given my preferred schedule but it's enough to add a few hundred to my vacation fund each month.

Thanks for the great thread and all the helpful tips![/quote]

Hi compadre!  OP here again.  $18-20/hr just starting out is great!  Don't forget to factor in your expenses and eventual taxes so you can really nail down what you're actually making, but you're doing fine as a rookie.  I agree that every trip is different and driving rideshare is sort of like living out your own reality show where you're the host and every passenger is a new guest.  It's also totally fine to restrict your hours to daylight only.  The most profitable daylight hours to drive are 4-8am on Monday mornings, weekday evenings 4-8pm, any time on the weekends (brunch hours are best), and fishing around DCA/Union Station on Sunday evening.  Also, try to be anywhere in the diamond of Ballston, Nats Stadium, H Street, and Woodley Park for the least amount of downtime.  Best of luck to you![/quote]
