I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Being in the first group of Lyft drivers, EVERYONE was excited to talk to me. I was interviewed by the city manager, the general manager, both founders, and even the software engineer. (and I talked to a few people in between without knowing if there would be consequences)
After the background check there was a class room training, car check, and test drive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most unexpected question came from one of the co-founders. He asked about my knowledge about a German competitor "Fahrvergnugen"
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lyft (Austin, TX) in Jan 2025
Interview
You download the app, you start the application process, giving them your license plate #, social security, DL #, a Profile photo, Car insurance, TX Registration sticker info, and consent to a background check; when they've verified your info and your BG check has been cleared, then you're good to hit the road.
No interview just have a good driving record with a positive background check and everything should be good to go from there and wait a few days until you you get an email that your background and driving record is positive
No interview, just fill out driver application on app and go get registered in person. Super easy. Get insurance approval and car inspected. Your car must meet the vehicle requirements in order to begin driving.
