3-Minute How-To: Service Animals
3-Minute How-To: Service Animals
What questions can you ask a rider with a service animal? What’s helpful to have in your car? This video has everything you need to feel prepared — as well as cameos from Leroy the bulldog, Priscilla the lab, and Bodie the Jack Russell.
I have asthma and dog / cat hair I’m allergic too makes me start wheezing. I have no problem with accepting service animals but my health comes 1st!
nice
Ok, but what about drivers who have LIFE THREATENING allergies? I have an anaphylactic reaction to most dogs, are you telling me that I am supposed to risk my life and the lives of my passengers, rather than find them another driver? At a restaurant, if a server is allergic to a service animal, they don’t force the server to service that table, they find a different server. It should be the same. Passengers with animals (service or pet) should be required to disclose at the START of the ride that they have an animal with them, giving the driver an opportunity to decline the ride so that Lyft can assign a different driver. Requiring drivers with life-threatening allergies to risk their lives CAN’T be legal, and even if it is, it’s reckless and idiotic to do so, when it could be reasonably avoided.
Sooooòoooo what if the dog, cat etc pees in my car…….am I not get covered for that??
No body compensate us for all the hair they leave in our cars and the smell after we carry animals we have to stop working cause we have to clean our seats.
Thank you ! Troy
Good info and im glad I watched.
what if leather seat is damaged?
Helpful
Did I win?
So…..if you have a child with severe allergies that rides in your car when you’re not doing Lyft you have no choice?
I am completely fine with giving passengers that truly have a service animal a ride. But most of the time it’s just people that want to get a ride with their pet and not have to pay extra for it. I am not signed up for pet friendly rides because I have a very nice car and give about 15-25 rides per day. Lyft should show in the app that the passenger you’re picking up has a service animal. And while we’re at it, you should also make the customer have their picture and you should do background checks, just like for the drivers. I don’t wanna read about any more drivers getting attacked. Our safety matters.This is just more proof that we are not independent contractors. Independent contractors can choose which jobs to accept, period.
Yeah these are never service dog’s!
Driving for 15 or more minutes only to pick up a rider going to the next block. Why can’t Lyft charge riders for more than 10 minutes driving for a pick up
Sooooooooo if someone gets into my car with a snake coiled around them……..OH BEST BELIEVE THEY ARE OUT OF MY CAR. TRUST N BELIEVE
Me too I am here for the $1000 dollars to and yes I always accept people with service animals it is very important to make people feel comfortable with the service.
Can you make a video to show the passengers that service animals must be showered and clean?, poor dogs are smelly, stinky, passengers must take care of this dogs.
I love dogs
Drivers need get pay more, specially when is raining very hard or at night
Lyft is not fair at all with the driver’s
Last week I took a passenger on a thirty minute ride he paid $55.00 I got $16.23 they getting greedy!!!!
Regardless of ALLERGIES?!?!?!
Pay us fair quit being sneaky and dishonest.
Where is the $1k?
Lyft and Uber need to be more realistic with their rules, these are OUR personal vehicles. And make a video about not eating in our cars or brushing their hair leaving shit everywhere.
Can you make a video for the PASSENGERS about being ready before they request a ride??
Informing the driver that the Lyft ride is for someone else?
Bringing their own required carseats because of child seat laws??
1. Lyft should have a FLAT cancellation fee for customers that decided to cancel rides…ex $10 fee regardless the price.
2. Please update your MAP asap… I’m in Orlando and some street names have changed and y’all still have OLD names. And also it would help drivers a lot if the map shows destination ADDRESSES and NAMES.
3. Lastly, It would makes more sense if y’all charge trips higher during GRAVEYARD SHIFT…short drivers out and more risks involved. I have been doing for 5 months and realized that customers are willing to pay higher to get them home safely…bars, works, airports etc….
THANKS, Newby!
These certified animals needs to be certified. Anyone can have a pet and what if the dog reacts and attacks the driver……lyfts insurance isn’t going to cover that either are they???
$1000. bring it on!
So you want us to buy blanket and cleaning wipes for a $2 ride ummm there is a problem there
Are they going to pay more because I know Uber as Uber pet and they pay more and you can select if you want to take any or not.
For me to be prepared, you got to let me know I will be picking up a service dog. You can do that. Very simple. Have your customers register their service dog with you if they have one. You take the element of surprise and the driver has no choice but to pick everyone with a dog at that point. You can do better than a 3 minute video. Have your customers with a service dog register them with you and you can certainly verify that and you simply notify the driver of it.
Weird to be self employed, and still not get to set your own rules and policies. Such a "have your cake and eat it too" business model for the apparently not employers
Necesito que me activen estoy de acierdo con llevar animales
Can we please stop with this unnecessary virtue signaling? Most drivers welcome animals. It’s fun and different. But if a driver has extreme fear of animals, or extreme allergies that may make a ride dangerous, then why can’t the drivers use their best judgment? If I were a rider with a service animal I imagine I would much rather wait for another ride then to have to be subjected to danger because the driver might seize up and drive off the road because of allergies or freeze up in fear and stop the car until they stop panicking. There are plenty of drivers out there who love animals. If one driver can’t, another one is close behind. Again this is all virtue signaling by the company, left and Uber
The burden of proof should rest with the animal owner. The phony harnesses are on ebay ect. I’m sure I’ve never had an authentic service dog in my car. Us having to pop a pill to accommodate a phony service dog. Not a wise policy
It’s nice that we need to get this this stuff to clean. Who is going to pay us clean the car. Last time I cleaned the same day the car got a husky in the car and the next the car looked like I never cleaned. We need to get pay for cleaning our cars that comes out of our pay
Already watched this shizz 2 years ago lyft
Worst company to work for. They false advertize and never pay out their new driver bonus.
Where’s my cash at?
The service animals not the problem my problem is why do the passengers pay $45 for a ride & I had $17
Love pets welcome
This is stupid!
Yes we are allowed to ask the 2 questions but when you’re passengers gets offended by them what can you do? This is my only job and unfortunately I’ve had little support as a driver when the passengers claim their pets as service animals.
