Frequently Asked Questions
General.
What do you do?
Whip has been involved with the rideshare community since the beginning of its expansion into the DC region. Excited by the lucrative income potential of the industry yet discouraged by the many barriers to entry, Whip has devised specific solutions to allow increased access for everyone. Recognizing the unique needs of the rideshare driver, Drive Whip has tailored a package to help people get on the road and start generating income today.
From getting a vehicle to insurance, to maintenance, and everything in between, Whip expertly manages every aspect of car ownership, saving you time and money! Our no commitment “All Inclusive” leasing package allows our drivers to create predictability in their income by bundling their car insurance, and mechanic payments into one fixed weekly amount. So instead of being caught off guard by a budget buster mechanic shop bill, they can cruise around town picking up fares and making cash.
Most importantly, Whip provides members with the knowledge and expertise to optimize their earnings when they are out navigating the roads. Every industry has it’s “do’s and don’ts,” the right way, and the not so right way. Often, it takes months and sometimes years of frustration and missed income to learn valuable ridesharing lessons. Through our mentorship sessions and coaching program, we drastically lessen the time required to gain the expertise necessary to reap the full earning potential of ridesharing.

You can get into your new vehicle within 72 hours if you have been approved to drive by Uber or Lyft and have submitted your application with all the requested documentation. Please note that this timetable is based on availability. If you have not passed a background check, it could take anywhere from 7-21 business days. Uber will run your background check without a car to ensure that you are approved to drive on their platform before you make the investment of purchasing or leasing a vehicle. With Lyft you will need to submit the vehicle’s info. We recommend going through Uber background first. You can check the status of your update here https://applicant.checkr.com/

Please reach out to us before beginning your application so we can help you unlock your sign up bonus, which is only available when you sign up or just use our referral codes.
UBER: 16KSI LYFT: DRIVEWHIP
Are these cars Uber/Lyft approved?
All vehicles are Uber / Lyft approved and state inspected. All vehicles will have the necessary documents needed to go online within your perspective platforms.
Do I have to be 25 or older to rent?
Yes. If you’re under 25, you’re not eligible for membership, and may not drive vehicles leased through WHIP.
What is the difference between renting from WHIP and Lyft (Express Drive)?
When renting from Lyft’s Express Drive Program, you are only able to complete trips for Lyft. This policy significantly reduces the amount of income that you can earn on a weekly basis because you cannot drive for any other platform Sound limiting? It is. When leasing from Whip, you can drive for Uber, Lyft, Via, DoorDash, Postmates, and Grubhub just to name a few and double your earning potential. We also don’t have ride requirements so if you rather spend Sunday morning with family, then that’s your prerogative. Most drivers are making a weekly average of $1,200 – $1,500.
There’s only so much money you can make with a sedan or small SUV. Are you looking to upgrade to an XL vehicle and earn more? Well, at Whip, once you’re a member, upgrades are simple; just ask your Mentor for details.
While renting a Whip, you can qualify for Lyft’s great reward programs that non-renters qualify for including the Ride Challenge. This program will provide you with a bonus for completing a certain number of rides within a specified period. Also, you can cash out daily through Express Pay once you have earned $5, which is a feature unavailable to drivers that rent through Express Drive. Lyft also offers hourly guarantees that incentivize you being on the road during high peak times which you also qualify for while using a Whip. Your Whip also qualifies you for all UberX bonuses as well as Instant Pay. Most drivers use their bonuses to pay for the rental and the rest of their earnings are untouched. Are we sounding like a better option yet?
Personal Contact: To us, you are a valued member. We are always here for you via email and phone. We know all our driver on a first name basis.
Accident Downtime: When your involved in an accident while driving a Lyft vehicle you are instantly deactivated from the platform and can not continue to earn money until the investigation is completed. Even worse, you would have to wait for your vehicle to be repaired from the body shop before you can drive again sometimes taking over 30 days. You are still responsible for payments while the car is getting repaired, even though you are not generating any income. Because of this, most people decide to leave Lyft’s program as it becomes cost prohibitive. At WHIP, we put you in a new car the same day so you can get out on the road with no down time. We also offer Accident Forgiveness so that one accident doesn’t end your ridesharing aspirations.
Service: WHIP will never charge you for miles no matter how they were accumulated. With that in mind, we service all our vehicles in-house meaning that we touch every single car that we own. We service our vehicles every 55 days as opposed to 28 days like the other guys, greatly reducing your travel time to our office. When the vehicle needs servicing, we get you in and out quickly and if the problem needs greater attention, we’ll put you in a loaner so that you can keep earning.
Vehicle & Lease Terms.
What kind of car do I get?
We source our inventory based off the most efficient and reliable vehicles that we can provide to our drivers. Our fleet of vehicles includes Nissan Sentras, Altimas, and Patfinders/Quests, Toyota Corollas, Camrys, Prius, Honda Civics, Insights, and Accords, Volkswagen Jettas and Passats as well as much more. Our vehicles are delivered fully detailed along with bumper-bumper maintenance, so the car is as good as new. If you’re new to ridesharing, we always recommend that you start with a smaller sedan until you feel comfortable navigating in a full size vehicle. Bigger is not always better when ridesharing.
Can I choose my vehicle?
Unfortunately, while we do consider your preferences, the vehicle is assigned by our inventory manager. We do not allow drivers to choose specific vehicles
Can I upgrade my vehicle?
One of the best parts of renting from Whip is that you can upgrade your vehicle after six weeks. After you have driven your first vehicle for six weeks, you may be eligible for an upgrade. Upgrades are available if you do not have a balance and have been on time with your payments. Please see your Mentor.

We can not guarantee another shop has the same high standards that we do, therefor having your vehicle repaired at another shop is strictly prohibited.
