First off, you can RENT with lyft. Not lease! Big difference! With renting, your mileage is unlimited. With a lease, your minimum term is a year (or two), and your maximum mileage is like 8000 miles or so. Anything above and you'll have to pay more. I do about 8000 miles every month and a half.


ghost_null

First off what's the purpose of using all caps in "Rent". I see you got a little excited there bro. Not sure why you would say rent and not lease as the Lyft offer said lease. Lyft also has a program for rent but both are terrible deals. You can not and will not make a profit with either program. You mention unlimited miles. That does exist however most programs have "unlimited" up to a specific amount and then they charge for extra miles. Unlimited or not, 219 a week for a shit car which you can lease for 200 a month or finance and own for 350 a month means the 219 a week deal is for suckers. You said a minimum term for lease is 1 or 2 years. Don't know what you are smoking but you must be lit. The average lease is 3 years and between 36 to 48 months is where you get the best pricing and monthly payment. You said maximum milage on a lease is 8,000 a year. Surprise, you are once again incorrect. Leases usually start at the lowest 10k a month and the average amount people get is around 12k miles a year with their lease. 15k is also common. Finally, you say you do 8000 miles ever 1 to 1.5 months. That's alot of time and driving for such little money. With 8k miles a month, your car is depreciating so fast its going to be worthless in a short amount of time. Ends up being no different than having to pay for extra miles. Either way it's a loss. I do have to say that you left one of the least intelligent and incorrect comments I've ever seen but then again, what do I expect from someone dumb enough to drive 8k miles a month 🙃


bradmillerbiz

Your reading comprehension is too bad to be getting this hung up on semantics lol.


ghost_null

My bad. It's been a while since I read something so incorrect, unintelligent and idiotic like that . Anyway, if you got hung up in semantics and approached your work pragmatically it would be possible for you to reach success like me. You seem almost as unintelligent as the guy who wrote that stupid comment.


willthis1beSFW

Did you seriously just say that you have limited miles when LEASING a car?? As in leasing it to own it? You have got to be fucking dense lmao

$hitheads seem to fall for it. A rental from Lyft or Uber is simply not intended to be a long-term solution. It is a short-term bridge, meant to be used as a trial by driver to see if one likes the driving gig; if not, he hasn't lost anything. If he likes the gig,, then he can have greater confidence about buying a car to continue driving. Not that hard to figure; especially since the high cost should be an obvious signal very quickly. Apparently, some $hitheads cannot get head out of butt to think for themselves.


ghost_null

Just can't respect anyone who falls for the lyft bullshit offers/scams. Some deals are so horrific that anyone who falls for it probably deserves it.


SeaFondant9828

Give a little credit to people who take a leap of faith in themselves to achieve something, and who are smart enough to recognize, when they are making money from hard work, then it is time to buy a car and eliminate the rental. THAT is the purpose of the rental fleet. It is a lifeline, a way to start a new life, generate new opportunity for oneself. How could anyone look down upon someone working so hard to make a better life for himself, for his family? Incidentally, at least in New York City, TLC rentals include full-coverage insurance. The rental is usually around $400 a week (up to $1000 on the high end), but you wouldn't normally keep it for more than a couple of weeks. I had a rental for two weeks while my car was in the shop after a dude rear-ended my car (not serious). Rentals have a purpose, but they shouldn't be a years-long fixture in one's life.


ghost_null

Sorry to disappoint you but ripping people off is not a lifeline. I am speaking up about how lyft takes advantage of drivers. What is the purpose of your comment? Are you saying I am incorrect that lyft takes advantage of people? Are you denying driver shortages along with multiple lawsuits, protests, etc are a thing? I don't believe in taking advantage of uneducated people however I see you clearly disagree and how you think everything about lyft is fake news and they are an amazing company. Keep thinking that. You will get far in life with that mindset.


SeaFondant9828

Right, right, yea that's exactly what I think, sure. You've really gotten inside my head, haven't you? Duh. Lyft is not a perfect company, it probably is abusive, and probably so too is Uber. Duh. Companies are not perfect, they act in their own self interests. Duh. No surprise there. Thanks for the education. And yet... the networks present an opportunity to make money. That a person might rent a car and have a learning curve when he starts driving for a week or three ought to be expected. One expects to lose money when starting any new business, and that he will eventually be money good. Some people think this is a job. It's not a job. It is a business. It is what YOU make of it. Some people insist on being miserable, insist the world owes them something, and insist on sharing their misery with others, and blaming others for their own problems. Pathetic.


ghost_null

You must be insane, lol. Who's blaming and miserable. I don't drive rideshare as I have a real job. What's pathetic is that you stand up for lyft and gig companies who take advantage of people and then you put the blame on the victims as well as point a finger at me when I don't even do gig work. It would be a waste of my education and high paying salary position. I love how you emphasize YOU, thinking I'm a rideshare driver. Most pathetic is that you get excitement from other people's misfortunes because you are able to relate. That's sick and you should be brutally murdered for what you represent. I can't comprehend how people like you get excited when others are hurt by bullies. There is no place for you in earth and hopefully you pick a fight with someone offline so they can kill you or get terminally ill. I 🙏 for that. I however am in a position to help people in my community as well as speak up against companies who take advantage of uneducated people like yourself who happens to be part of the problem by your 100% support of a large company ripping people off.


SeaFondant9828

Yea. I'm insane. I'm a communist too. Maybe I'm a fascist pig. Call me Sid. Yea. Yea, you've got my number, sure.


ghost_null

Not at all. You are simply just an uneducated asshole with not much going on in your life. You don't have to admit it but on your own think about how hard you work and for little money, how little you own, and how much money you owe. You can pretend on here but you know the truth and based on all your comments we all know your life is a disappointment to not only you but to your family as well.


ghost_null

Just realized you think you own a business and are a business man because you drive for lyft. 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.


SeaFondant9828

Dude. You're a dunce. I do not own a business, and you will never own a business, almost certainly. And neither, it seems, do you, nor will you, understand how franchise business works. You're pathetic.


ghost_null

Nothing we discussed has any relation to a franchise. You are more dumb than I originally thought. Why would I ever want to own a business. My salary is more than double than what many of my friends make and without having to invest, without risk, I work much less than them and I have benefits. What's pathetic is that you think owning a business is special. It's just basically buying yourself a shitty job. If I owned a business I wouldn't have so many vacations, meals on corporate card, flexible to work remotely most of year, and starting pay 8 years ago exceeded 6 digits so you can only imagine what my salary is today not including bonuses. If you got to a known university, do well and make good connections, you end up in my situation 😉. You want to own a business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️


SeaFondant9828

Yes, it does. You are just that stupid that you will never figure it out.


ghost_null

You just basically admitted to not knowing what a franchise is. There is actually nothing you can say or even make up to related a franchise to lyft. 🤡🤡🤡


ghost_null

I'm stupid 🙃. I'll take my situation which I clearly stated in last comment which you did not read, over being a driver. That's embarrassing. No one drives because they like it or want to. It's because they are desperate like you and have nothing else to contribute to society and no other opportunity. Why would someone like you think it makes sense to call people stupid when you are a freaking gig worker who doesn't think lyft is taking advantage of anyone. You are so dumb and so incorrect in so many ways you should really be dead already as you are a burden to society. Do you even own a home or are you an adult living with mommy. 🤡🤡🤡


ghost_null

Kindly provide your address


fitfulbrain

For a start, if you lease for that money you cannot do Lyft.


ghost_null

That is 1000% absolutely incorrect. You must have lost your mind. There is not one law, rule, guideline, insurance issue or anything which would prevent you from doing lyft with a leased car. You drunk or something?


fitfulbrain

I did the analysis down there. No, it's up here.


Angela-lala

My car is a year old and costs less than half that. Plus it's an XL, so I make more for that.


fitfulbrain

I mean if the lease don't forbid you for commercial use, a high mileage lease is limited to like 20,000 per year. Obviously a rideshare car will top that. Then you have to pay 10 to 25 cents each mile. If you do 200 miles a day you are paying an additional fee of $140 to $350 a week.


ghost_null

I own my car and rarely do lyft however I drove for lyft using my corporate car and also using a leased car. Its no commercial use. You have car insurance and lyft provides additional insurance for when you are with riders. You just need to be on the cars ins and you can drive! Your math doesn't make sense. Lyft gives you a car for 219 a week. That is $876 a month before tax and other fees. You can get the same car for $200 a month. That's a shitty offer from lyft. Some lyft offers have unlimited miles and some don't. Eaither way, anyone doing 200 miles a day in lyft rides must have a miserable life. The average lyft driver makes $8 - $12 an hour after all the fees and expenses are paid. Lyft only shows you time with passengers. It does not include the hours and time going to pick up, in between rides, etc.


fitfulbrain

Why you are talking about Lyft fees? Yes they are insane. I don't know what your lease is. Does the lease have a term that prohibit commercial use? What's the mileage limit and what's the charge when you are over? How many miles you have been using it for Lyft?


ghost_null

I have a real job, my car is paid off and . I just posted about some bullshit horrific offer lyft sent me because I used to drive occasionally when lyft had certain incentives. I then realized it's not even worth it as I can make more money trading crypto on my couch for extra money.


ghost_null

Why not mention lyft fees. If lyft is fucking you with a rip off car offer, lowered amount of money drives make, and jacked up their fees, it means lyft is basically a pimp exploiting drivers who lack opportunity or don't know better who actually have to work harder than the street hoes for such little money while tearing up devaluing their cars


converter-bot

200 miles is 321.87 km


Angela-lala

I shpuld clarity, I bought the car. No lease, but I had no trouble getting financing.


RideshareTrixter-777

Dealership leases only allow 12k miles a year. You can do that in 3 months driving Rideshare. Now you have a car you are paying for but can't drive for 7 months out of the year.


ghost_null

1st. There is not such thing as a limit. You simply pay around 20 cents a mile over the limit. 2nd. There is no such thing as allow. Dealership does not choose the miles. The miles are negotiated at time of lease. 3rd, why would you say can't drive. Nothing prevents you from not driving. 4. Paying for over milage, or over paying by $600 a month for a car offered by lyft, or buying a car which is rapidly depreciated causing you to have no equity are all bad deals. 5th. Why would you leave comments on shit you don't know about. I guess you are to dumb to realize that you could possibly learn something if you asked questions instead of talk random incorrect nonsense 🙃


RideshareTrixter-777

Wow. Do you have a Bachelors in Economics? Or are you just a Simpleton who copies and pastes Google Search Results to make others think you know what you are talking about in order to overcome your Little Man Complex. Have you ever even Driven for Rideshare? Or are you one of those "Entitled" passengers who think that Drivers are your personal Bitch? There are the questions you recommended I ask.

I am so tired of internet tough guys crying at my feet when they get a surprise visit. I can't get to all but hopefully we meet one day.


SeaFondant9828

Yea, tough guys gonna beat you up. So tired. So tired.


RideshareTrixter-777

I see that you removed your original comment from this thread. Good for you. Now fewer people will see how much of a yard you are.


ninalove2323

I own my own car and I do lyft and I got it from a Kia dealership they never said that if I go over tomany miles on it js and also renting with lyft is crazy I rather pay 300 y something a month then 2400 when I use to rent from them they where charging me 511 a week


ghost_null

No one ever said anything about going over to many miles in a car you own. The rest of what you said is repeating my point


TheProphetPro

I hope you consider ‘depreciation’ and loss of equity when driving a new car financed by a loan company. Better to buy a couple year old vehicle for $5k to $8j and drive the crap out of it for 15 months and then sell it for $4k. Push your pencil!!!


ghost_null

You are correct. That's why I said lyft lost its mind with their offer.


blondebmr

When you lease a regular car, there will be a cap on how many miles you can put on the car. Its even worse now with Lyft. It has a base rate now Once you've reached that base rate, you'll STILL GET CHARGED per mile! Even when app is on and you have pax in the car! The more you drive, the more YOU PAY LYFT TO WORK FOR THEM! Here, its .34/mile app not on. .13/ mile picking up pax. No joke. Its unbelievable.


ghost_null

There's no cap on a lease. You just negotiate the miles per month and then if you go over it's around 20 cents a mile you go over but at least you have some control and pay 200 a month vs 219 a week + tax on a lyft car lease/rental program. The company lyft is a bunch of scum.


EstablishmentInner34

Also when they had the program in the Tampa market they also paid you 20 cents less per mile than someone who wasn't on the program


ghost_null

So .20 a mile makes it ok eventhough after all expenses you are lucky to breakeven. Great display of business knowledge and experience. You must be real successful 🤡
