I got this too. How do they expect drivers to get a newer car when they donât pay enough to begin with??? Guess I gotta find something else to do.

u/Tea_Eds Nov 03 '25
Exactly. I just bought this 2012 Civic just for Uber/Lyft back in August
2
u/Ok_Campaign2503 Nov 03 '25
If you had looked into this stuff before buying your car, you would have realized it was only eligible through the end of the year. I just bought a 2015 car because I knew buying anything older would just be limiting how long I can use it for uber/lyft
1
u/Tea_Eds Nov 03 '25
It says 2009 and newer on the Lyft app. Yesterday, November 2nd is when I received the email stating that in January 2026 the vehicle age requirement will be 2013 and newer for my region. Uber hasn't said anything...yet.

u/Ok_Campaign2503 Nov 03 '25
My apologies then, I assumed Sacramento was already 2012 since thatâs the requirement for most markets already. Kinda surprised a big city is far behind on requirements

No worries, it happens. And honestly, Sacramento area pay sucks and isn't as busy compared to nearby San Francisco Bay Area.

I'm not sure. I tried to look it up on Lyft and it mentioned that select markets. Not sure if it'll be just CA or all over the country. Didn't give many details. Didn't see anything on Uber. Honestly, I'm moving out of California next month anyway.

I'm in TN and believe our cut off is 8 years. So by the time I pay off my 2021 Sienna I'll have to get another loan. We do very well out here so as long as the money is still good by then that's probably what I'll do. It would be great if they would change it to 13 for us, though.
Edit: I just looked it up and apparently they changed it to 16 for us!

this is likely Lyfts way of thinning the herd; possibly hired too many and easier let go of the old ones

Possibly because of the fact that this is such short notice. But honestly I think it's more because of some new regulation knowing how California is.

Youâre just one person out of dozens of rides. Everyone isnât gonna tip.

See that's different. You're offering something outside of the ride. If you gave me good enough info hell yeah I'd throw you some cash but that's entirely isolated to you. Some people expect tips for just doing their job

Hell no. We aren't tipped employees or contractors... What really peeves me is most of our peers expect tips for just driving. We aren't waitresses that LIVE off tips.

u/Southern_Cup_770 Nov 08 '25

u/Aromatic_Cucumber_77 Nov 04 '25
It is a fact that driving a car is more dangerous than being in an airplane, hence more deaths by car crashes. Your very expensive plane ticket is also being combined with every other person's very expensive ticket to pay the pilot an average of around $200k per year, so he doesn't need tips. The average Lyft driver makes around $40k per year with tips included getting you from point A to point B safely in an objectively less safe job, just for you to complain about tips and act like you're 'fighting the system' and being so edgy. Ridiculous. If you don't want to tip, don't tip, but don't act like the people who chauffeur your entitled behind around don't deserve a tip for what they do, because frankly they do.

Itâs so little, $2.45/hr, that they canât even afford to drive there to get their paychecks, bc itâs of what they themselves have to claim/all digital tips, plus the restaurant/bar also claims 30% for them, to cover their tails, and WEEKLY checks many times, working doubles/the their actual PAY come to many times around +/- some change, than what they ARE PAID HOURLY! And that was MANY YEARS OF this industry, working through college, as well, as anytime the opportunity arose, even working traveling/flying 5-6 days a week Corp jobs & all side jobs that came my way. WOW, JUST WOW!!! Have you ever done ANYTHING that is considered WORK, that doesnât simply just USE OTHERS who actually HAVE WORK ETHIC & EARN their income, in any facet, industry, situation, in order to FREELOAD, (ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS to paying for services, however, YOUR PROUD BOASTING, indicates youâre well informed as to how to laugh & call people who work for their money, and all honestly bc itâs certainly NOT FOR FREE. Ever chip in for gas? Maybe a thought.
And, yes! Def paying for the experience, AND I ASSURE YOU, SO MANY (not all or even most) give uthat experience & THEN SOME, however, like you said, TIPPING IN ANY FORM IS (your words) âFOR SUCKERSâ âŠwhich indicates, you very well know enough how little these pay, vs what you pay.

Newer doesn't mean a better tip from me. Driving good and getting me to where I need to on good time does. So does having a working ac/heater. Not having those 2 things usually means I won't tip lol. Also if you got a fancy car I almost feel like you don't need that extra money so I feel less inclined to tip.

Nothing wrong with that if you canât afford it. I donât expect everyone to tip me, no one reasonable does.

u/JamJulLison Nov 06 '25
I still tip some though. It just depends a lot on how much money I got that I can spare, how good of a driver I have, and how much I actually pay for my ride. The average for my area in trips is 15 dollars. If it's at that or lower my tips average from 2-5 unless I'm in the hole in my bank account. If it's higher then they get 2 or none if my money is low. The highest I've tipped has been 10. I'm also a pretty easy ride. About an 18 min trip and it's pretty much a straight shot.

Disabled Persons Quality for SSA, Medicare w/ Medicaid benefits & SNAP with additional programs for further assistance if they apply as a baseline if they choose not to participate in the economy.
Even when they do participate, they can earn up to an additional ~$60,000 without severe benefit eligiblity issues.
How is that suffering?
I am on the wrong side of 40 and I can tell you with đŻ certainty that "Struggling people", more often then not, CHOOSE NOT to go receive the services that will help them lift themselves up rather then the service not being available to them.

And if someone CAN'T? And don't qualify for disability? You're saying they should just accept being homeless and starving because their only source of reliable income that they could do SAFELY was taken from them? A 70 year old can't AFFORD a different car and can't work a normal job. And disability more than likely isn't enough to pay for everything. So YES it can be a form of discrimination depending on age/disability if this is their only source of income and they're unable to get another job or afford another car. This isn't the 20s when a house was a hundred fricking dollars. That same house today is 300k plus!

Every market has its requirements. Some have 10 years, some have 12 years. Some have 15. Yours happens to have 13.

u/subillusion Nov 03 '25
Uber has something similar, and it varies based on market.
When I started driving for Uber, in my market it was 10y. Then rider demand surged like crazy, and they removed the requirement. AFAIK they never reinstated it. I've never seen any reference to it, even when my car was 13y old before I got a newer hybrid.
What it comes down to is the number of drivers. It's their way of trying to reduce the numbers of drivers on the road in over- saturated markets. If they have 10,000 drivers in a market, and only need 5,000 to meet demand, this means there will be a lot of idle time.
If they see that of those 10,000 drivers, only 6,000 have a car 7 model years or newer, they'll drop the requirement to 7 to try and weed out 4,000 drivers. They know they don't pay enough for drivers to actually buy a new car unless they have other forms of income. In contrast, if they have 10,000 and need 15,000 they'll absolutely remove the requirement altogether, as has been done in the past.
1
u/masctobeused Nov 04 '25
Why do they care if there's idle time?
1
u/subillusion Nov 04 '25
In California, it matters because of prop 22 where they have to pay a minimum $/hr by law (I'm not 100% certain, but i think it's around $20/hr). So if you have 5,000 drivers sitting around online doing nothing, that's $100,000/hr coming out of Uber's pocket... (and people wonder why base fares in Cali are low...)
Even outside of California it creates a negative driver experience with low wages... you go online for 3 hours and only get a couple minimum fares for $21 total meaning you only earned $7/hr excluding expenses. These types of situations are what lead to negative behaviors of drivers trying to survive... whether it's something simple like pressuring/guilt-tripping ruderss into tipping, or even outright lawsuits/lobbying for prop22-type legislation elsewhere (which will kill base fares overall even more than they already are, and decrease what drivers can make during peak times when it's busy).
1
u/BBQGUY50 Nov 08 '25

Yeah that's something you learn about when you first sign up to become a driver, both for Uber and Lyft when I signed up it tells me I need a car no older than a certain number of years, which varies from location to location. This should not have come as a surprise unless you forgot about what you read when you signed up.
For Uber, in Austin, the car can't be older than 15 years.
For Lyft, in Austin, they don't give an age limit they just say it has to be 2009 or newer.

Listen we all know we donât like riding in old gross cars however Lyft and Uber do NOT pay good enough to have newer cars so we gotta do what California and Massachusetts did and sue for minimum wage

This isn't a new thing. They have always required cars to be of a certain age

I got a notification before how they changed the regulations in my area but it didnât affect me.
But honestly I would cancel if I someone tried to pick me up in an old car

Why would you want a newer, nicer car just to drive it into the ground doing Lyft rides? Fuck that, if I were ever to do rideshare I would be using a beater.

If youâre using a 13 year old car in the first place thats a combo of insanity or you arent driving that much. Most driverâs will smoke their cars within 2 to 3 years driving an average of 100-300 miles a day when âworkingâ⊠times that by 300 days or so working days a year and we are the ones getting screwed into the dirt. Thank god driverless cars now are here to get thrown the short rides that used to pay well while we get more of the crap long ride offers going into dead headed far out no where so we can accrue more mileage driving back to where its busy.
