Fuel Assistance Program

Submitted 2 years ago

I think it would be great for Lyft to offer fuel assistance to their drivers. We all have had days where we were strapped for cash and think to go drive Lyft to make some money but, don't have gas in our vehicle. Well, it would be beneficial if Lyft had a program that offered assistance with this issue. This program can offer drivers up to $25.00 to allow them to hit the road and make some money, in which they would need to make up to $50.00 before they are able cash out any funds. This will ensure the driver has at least made $25.00 and also have the ability to reimburse Lyft their $25.00 investment. Failure to drive to refund the funds given within 7 days of receiving funds, will lead to driver ineligiblity to the program. This program will not only assist drivers but it will eliminate one of many issues that Lyft face with the production of driver availability. Drivers would have to have driven with the company for at least 90 days with an average ride acceptance rate before being eligible to use the program. This would ensure the drivers who use the program is using it for the purpose of driving for lyft and not personal use. After 90 days of driving for Lyft, the company can issue a card that would be linked to the driver account;that can only be used at the gas pump and funds will only be added upon request and eligibility.
