DRIVE FOR UBER & LYFT
Anyone who meets certain minimum qualifications (age, background check, car ownership, etc.) can drive for Uber or Lyft. However, there is no training manual that will tell you how to drive. You learn as you go. The information in this blog will make the lives of drivers and riders easier. Plus, when you signup, both Uber and Lyft have a bonus guarantee you can earn on your first set of rides.
I cannot recommend driving as a rideshare driver higher enough. Ridership is continuing to grow exponentially each year, in the Boston area as well as other major cities. It can be a great side gig. Or a full-time gig if you want to change careers or are just in between jobs.
