I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lyft (San Diego, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Normalish for Lyft driver interview. Pleasant enough. Guy came during my lunch hour at my job so had to fit it in in a busy day. Unfair and arbitrary screening process, Lyft denied me for no reason. I contacted them to ask, they said they weren't accepting anymore drivers. No idea if driver failed me just to keep demand high and drivers low. I already have over 200 trips with Uber at 4.9 stars in animmaculate BMW 3-Series. They don't even have a plus version, they're stupid to deny me! I'm also a gifted driver (clients tell me this all the time) who skillfully drives a manual car while obeying all rules of the road. Their rejection system is flawed and not transparent. They should be ashamed of themselves for clearly screwing up my application and perma banning (they don't allow you to apply again B.S.) me from Lyft driving despite my amazing record at Uber. Pathetic company. Avoid if possible.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lyft (Austin, TX) in Jan 2025
Interview
You download the app, you start the application process, giving them your license plate #, social security, DL #, a Profile photo, Car insurance, TX Registration sticker info, and consent to a background check; when they've verified your info and your BG check has been cleared, then you're good to hit the road.
No interview just have a good driving record with a positive background check and everything should be good to go from there and wait a few days until you you get an email that your background and driving record is positive
No interview, just fill out driver application on app and go get registered in person. Super easy. Get insurance approval and car inspected. Your car must meet the vehicle requirements in order to begin driving.
