If you take a $10 ride, giving $1.50 – $2.00 is pretty fair for both parties. My suggestion is to give a dollar or two on short rides (under $10) and $5 on longer rides (over $10). If you're using a Lyft promo code and taking a discounted ride, then make sure to definitely tip.

Therefore, to make $2000 a week with Lyft at the standard rate, you'd need to work for around 83 hours per week. Over the course of 7 days, that averages just shy of 12 hours every single day! This only barely fits with Lyft's demands for drivers to take at least a six-hour break for every twelve hours spent driving.
