Drive for Uber, Lyft or Both?

A fundamental decision for drivers in most countries other than China (Diddi) is whether to register and drive for Uber, for Lyft or for both companies. Uber is undoubtedly the market leader in most countries, has strong brand recognition and a large base of riders. Both companies offer incentives including Driver Referral and Number of Weekly Trip bonuses. While most of my driving experience is with Uber, recently I have begun driving for Lyft and observed a few nice benefits. First, the Lyft app allows riders to "tip" their driver directly from the app in real-time. Nice. Second, Lyft offers a small $10 Rider Referral bonus to driver. Thirdly, and most importantly, Lyft pays its drivers approximately 5%-8% more per trip which boosts your daily and weekly earnings ... cash in the bank. Each driver needs to make the decision for his or her self. Let's here from some other drivers on which service they prefer and why. Send your comments to Uber and Lyft Driver Best Practices.
