Uber and Lyft Alternatives - Tired of Driving Strangers Around?
The Californer/10219613

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Disadvantages of rideshare and delivery:

Wear and tear on your car
Driving rideshare puts a tremendous amount of mileage on your vehicle. It also increases the need for service and repairs. Unfortunately, rideshare makes having accidents on the road more likely because of the sheer number of hours on the road.

Your wages may not be reflective of the work that you are doing.
Many of the drivers who work for Uber and Lyft are not fully aware of the actual amount they earn by providing rides or delivery services with their vehicles. When you take into account the wear and tear on your vehicle, the fuel expenses, cleaning costs, and all of the other needs that go into this employment opportunity, some drivers struggle to make more than the minimum wage in their community. Some drivers are experiencing lower pay and rising costs.

Drivers must carry commercial rideshare insurance.
Many drivers don't realize that driving for commercial purposes (Uber, Lyft, or Delivery) is actually against the terms of your insurance. This means if you get into an accident things can get complicated. You must carry commercial rideshare insurance on your vehicle. There are no exceptions to this rule in any community. Should your passenger experience an injury in an accident, whether it was your fault or not, then they could potentially hold you liable for their medical expenses and other costs. Because most Uber and Lyft drivers are independent contractors and not employees, this means your assets are on the line in this circumstance.

But don't Uber and Lyft cover me?
Yes, but both companies require you to carry a $2,500 deductible! That's right your deductible if ever in an accident is very high (twenty-five hundred dollars (USD).
