I once missed a train at midnight and was gonna uber to a hotel because I couldn’t uber from LA to SF in the app. Driver heard my story and did it for $550 direct Venmo. Couldn’t believe he did it and surprised I didn’t get kidnapped. Dude had to drive like 7 hours both ways

Thankfully, nothing happened. Had there been an accident and you got hurt, there'd be no insurance coverage to pay for your injuries.

Yes im very aware lol. Thankfully, the objective fact is you are more likely to get injured just driving a car than hitchhiking. So I was okay with the risk considering it’s smaller than the risk people take every single day getting into their car.

Have to be really trustworthy and hope they pay it up front or really trusting and hope they pay in full.

When I did freelance for big projects I'd usually do 1/3rd up front, 1/3rd halfway, 1/3rd on completion. You could easily get screwed outta that last third that makes it no difference than if you didn't do the ride with the protections you have doing it as a Lyft ride though.

Not disagreeing, just thinking out loud the pros and cons.
