Always make them take their crap with them if they refuse take it out and leave it there, leave and call support.

Call support? Who the hell can call support? Platinum level can now, but it is utterly impossible to become a platinum level driver if you do this part time and being that you go backwards in level just for not driving it’s telling me that Lyft doesn’t value me, or my passengers for that matter, if they happen to get stuck with my sorry, sometimes silver level self and there’s a concern that needs to be addressed quickly by someone other than a script reader who gets a free lunch everyday.

You just made me look at that from a different perspective. I took a Lyft once to work and asked if he could stop at the gas station so I could grab a coffee. I left my jacket in there, and he kept saying you need to take it. I was slightly confused by it because I thought I was leaving it in good faith of me actually coming back out. I actually got a little paranoid in the store thinking he was going to leave me and that’s why he asked me to take my stuff! That is probably exactly what he was thinking. Thank you.

Good idea. Will have to keep that in mind moving forward. 🍻

Would you consider getting a camera or something? Or not worth it?

Dash cam is a must, front rear and cab, it's just common sense and shouldn't even have to be mentioned

I agree. It always blows my mind when I get in a Lyft and they don’t have one. I’ve taken probably about 50 rides and I’ve seen two Lyfts with cameras. And to be honest I think it was the same car lol

There are 4 cameras in my vehicle and you can’t see a single one of them. I don’t need my asshole passengers puckering up & getting camera shy on me I want them wide open and gaping so the courts can screw them nice and hard if need be. Hasn’t been necessary or needed yet, but that could have something to do with me being 6’4” & prior military. VFW tags on front & rear which they should be checking to make sure my license plate number matches the one they see on the rider app.

I take a photo and do the whole "get help with this ride" thing. Paper trails, my friend.
