Any uber or lyft drivers that use Yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was thinking about doing Uber and or Lyft part time, while I am in school. Anyone else here use a Yaris for this? An do's, don'ts, or customer complaints? Any reason I shouldn't use a Yaris for this job? Seems like it would be great because it would save you a lot of money when it comes to gas.

I have no experience with this but keep in mind that the yaris has a low weight capacity. It was never designed to fit 4, let alone 5 adults inside. It saying it cannot do it, but it isn't designed for it.

I think they have to select a different driver, one who is "Uber X" or "Uber XL" if they have 4 or 5 people.

There are a couple of Lyft drivers on here. Can't remember off hand who they are.

I'm sure member Dodge Aries K is one of them.
