Hey San Francisco, start earning in your city.
Whether you’re driving to pay the bills, take control of your schedule, or meet interesting people, Lyft will help you get there. The Lyft Driver app matches you with local passengers, and lets you earn when you want. When the ride’s over, passengers pay in the app, and tips are always 100% yours.
EARN ON YOUR OWN TERMS
High demand
Location is everything. From popular commuter stops in SoMa to weekend brunch spots in the Marina, we’ll help you find the areas where you’ll earn the most, every day of the week.
Smooth rides
Giants games and shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium bring the biggest crowds. At select venues, we’ll show you the exact door or arena entrance, so pickups and drop-offs are always convenient.
Airport earnings
Lyft is available at SFO, OAK, and SJC. The app helps you navigate local airports, and shows you where to pick up, where to drop-off, and where to wait for requests.
A FEW NECESSITIES
Getting approved
You’ll need to meet the age requirement for your region, have a smartphone, and pass an online DMV and background check. Requirements vary across cities.
Your car
You’ll need four doors and 5 to 8 seats — including yours (bonus points for a nice ride: You may qualify for premium modes). Your car will also need to meet your city’s year requirement.
