Sign-on promos

If you're new to Lyft, you may enter a sign-up code when you first apply. Only one promotional code can be used when applying to drive.

Sign-up codes must be added when you first sign up; they can't be added later on. Promos vary depending on the region and code used.

The app's ‘Earnings' tab is the easiest way to see your promo code requirements and check your progress.

If you qualify for and earn the bonus, you'll be paid 1-2 weeks after the promotion ends.


Qualifying for the bonus

You must meet the following requirements to qualify:
  • Add your codes when you sign up. It isn't possible to enter a sign-on code after signing up.
  • Be approved to drive in an eligible region offering the promotion.
  • Complete your first drive within the outlined days after starting your application.
  • After your first ride, complete the set number of rides within the timeframe provided in your offer.
  • Have an approved driving state/province that matches the state/province indicated in your application. Any change to the approved state/province will result in disqualification from receiving referral bonus/earnings guarantee bonus.
  • Meet the ride requirements shown in the Lyft Driver app.

If you meet all ride requirements within the applicable time period, the bonus will be applied to your account.

Lyft insurance protection

You're required to maintain personal auto insurance that meets minimum state requirements. However, most personal auto policies will not cover you while you're using the Lyft app. Where consistent with state and local laws, Lyft maintains commercial insurance on behalf of drivers. This commercial insurance provides certain coverages while you're using the Lyft app. Learn more.

Passenger ratings

Drivers rate passengers after each ride, so you’ve always got a say. We also require passengers to provide valid credit card information for identity verification purposes.
