Your keys to earning
Lyft and No One Left Behind have teamed up to provide you with easy access to a rental car - and an opportunity to earn by driving with Lyft - through Lyft’s rental partner, Flexdrive.
No One Left Behind participants in the Dallas and Washington D.C. areas can rent a vehicle, including insurance and maintenance, with a $1 deposit, no long-term contracts, and a $20 Lyft credit* to use when you pick up your rental.
The best part? Driving with Lyft can help pay for your rental. Oh, and for a limited time: if you rent with Flexdrive now, you’ll also get a $75 bonus each week for the next 2 weeks!**
You’ll first need to complete an application to become an approved driver.
Don't live in the Dallas or Washington D.C. areas or qualify as a No One Left Behind participant? You can still sign up to drive with Lyft here.
Your information will be shared with No One Left Behind to verify your eligibility for the program.
