After I quit my job as a scientist, I drove for lyft, and got lots of offers to hang out with passengers. So I said no a lot (needed the money, driving is donezo one you've started drinking). Now, I consider it and hang out with passengers every once in a while. I've got to be selective, as a 30-something it might not be all that fun hanging out with 20-somethings in a bar in certain parts of San Diego...

I would have suggested "drive for lyft" to the OP, but he doesn't have a car, so...

Do you make more money driving for lyft? Why did you quit being a scientist to essentially become a cab driver?

Is there a spread between the price of renting a car and lyft income?

I don't recommend trying to monetize this margin.
