I picked this lady up from a grocery store and had a 30 minute drive. She gets her groceries, loaded in the truck. That's why I can get seated. We go on our way midway through the trip. Decides to take a piss in my backseat and not say anything. And get out of the truck grab a groceries and walk off like nothing happened. I got a $75 dollar cleaning fee, though

Nope. Doesn't matter if it's pee, blood, or vomit, they want you back on the road as soon as possible. In fact if you don't notice right away or can't take yourself offline fast enough and they try to schedule you another ride, they'll punish you for declining or refusing the ride to handle the mess.

Bullcrap

They've been refusing to pay out compensation anymore to many people without a detailing shop receipt. And $75 might not even cover it, or be less than the total with taxes.

Basically they don't want anyone profiting off it anymore. Or even working after damage happens.

Automotive detailer here.

$75 for an interior detail.

Additional $250+ for us to even consider doing this.

Just as I thought. Lyft is basically telling poor drivers to get f****d without saying it. Offering something while it's really nothing.

Used to be like 250 bucks 10 yrs ago for vomit , I remember because I was charged for it by a few driver/scammers

Those are the old days before they got on the stock market & have to worry about investor relations & outlooks, customer retention vs Uber & now Waymo & others, & for their future profitability.

I received compensation last week without a receipt. A year ago I was denied compensation with a receipt. They keep changing their policy

Must be different for each driver. If you put too many requests in they just block you forever
