What's it like? Good and bad points.

Also if you know women drivers how often are they harassed? Though I guess that question is for all drivers not just female.

Good
-Meet cool people
-Set your own hours
-No dress code
-Potential to make nice money
-Paid weekly

Bad
-Puts more wear on your car
-Tipping is available, but it's rare that people tip
-The rating system isn't very lenient. Max is 5 stars, and you can't ever dip below 4.75 stars or they might fire you
-Email spam from Lyft
-Lots of driving around/sitting waiting for rides, really depends on your area
-The best money is at night, which means drunks

Overall I liked it, but since I'm not a night owl, I wasn't finding it profitable enough for me. Squanto had better luck.

Exactly this @bluezero

I only did it for 3 months in between jobs but it was definitely more profitable in the city and at night. Boston was always great but so many drunks. Day time driving also meant you were more likely to get in accidents due to so much going on.

I plan on doing it a couple weekends a month starting next month when I buy out my lease. My friend makes a few hundred every weekend doing it.

Only complaints he's had is people puking in his car.
