Know Yourself

Before you start spending money and time to get prepared for rideshare driving, you should ask yourself if you have enough experience of driving in various environments and traffics. If you know you are not a good driver, you shouldn't drive on Uber or Lyft platforms because there is a good chance you could die or end up in a hospital.

Only you know yourself better than others. Driving like your DMV test to get your DL will just not cut it when it comes to coming home in one piece after hours of driving especially in Las Vegas. So if possible, it is so much better to get a job like being a waitor/waitress at a restaurant since you will less likely to get hit by drunk drivers while taking orders and serving dishes. Moreover, you will make so much more money in tips without driving your own car and paying for gas and car maintenance. 

You might also want to consider driving for taxi companies instead of Uber or Lyft. Driving for taxi companies will give you better insurance protection and money. You don't have to drive your car, so you will save so much money and not have to worry about car maintenance and paperworks.

After thinking things through, if you still want to drive on Uber or Lyft platforms, there is one thing to remember before you start. You should ask your local Costco or Sam's Club to carry and sell baby oil or Vaseline in bulk because they are going to give it to you raw. If you decide to drive on Uber or Lyft platform for whatever reasons, it is very important to keep up with the latest news from unfiltered sources. One great source is a YouTube channel by rideshare professor. This man is a private driver in Los Angeles who doesn't bullsh!t and constantly updates you with gig company news and politics.
