RideShare

Please click on the Join Now button and fill out the application. Please note that all documents requested must be received in order for your application to be processed. What do you need? We’ll ask you for a screenshot of your Driver’s License, Proof of Address dated within the last 30 days (Utility Bill or Bank Statements), and Proof of Rideshare (Lyft Driver Dashboard, Driver Info, and Driver History or Uber Driver Profile showing your name, rating, & ride count). 

You can get into your new vehicle within 48 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/

Each driver will be assigned an experienced Mentor who they can contact questions they have while they are in the ridesharing business. Your mentor will guide you and provide you with the tips and tricks to be successful. Your mentor will advise you on the busiest times and areas to work in and how to make the most money.

We are open Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm and on closed on weekends. The best way to contact us is via email at info@drivewhip.com

If you need assistance signing up for these services, our team can assist you in the beginning stages. They will each require separate background checks. Typically, it takes about one week for the entire approval process to take place before you can start driving for Uber / Lyft. Get started by visiting their respective sites below:

UBER    LYFT

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

Yes. If you’re under 25, you’re not eligible for membership, and may not drive vehicles leased through WHIP.

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.

Whip is the most driver centric rideshare company in the DMV! Let us show you today. Sign up at this link.

Unfortunately, while we do consider your preferences, the vehicle is assigned by our inventory manager. We do not allow drivers to choose specific vehicles.

One of the best parts of renting from Whip is that you’re married to the program, not the car. After you have driven your first vehicle for eight weeks, you may be eligible for an upgrade. Upgrades are available if you do not have a balance, have been on time with your payments, and have no damage on your vehicle.

YES! It is your car, and you can use it for your personal life 24/7. Unlike other companies, we do not charge for the miles you drive for personal use. Please note that you cannot take the vehicle for personal trips outside of 150 miles away from our office. 

Absolutely! You can drive for any ridesharing service available. More services, more sources of income! There is no conflict of interest. Lyft’s and Uber’s vehicle solution program require you to drive for the platform you are renting from, therefore limiting your income. With our program, we encourage our drivers to sign up for a minimum of three platforms to maximize their earnings.

We are proud to offer the first and only full-coverage maintenance and repair plan in ridesharing history. We cover all maintenance costs including the expensive parts of your vehicle like tires, brake pads, and rotors. Lyft only include regular maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations. If your vehicle needs a new transmission, we’ll either replace it or put you in a new vehicle. 

No, unless it is an emergency (Ex. Tire puncture, Battery replacement) and we have provided expressed permission to do so.  This will also make it easier to reimburse you for any repair or part replacement.

We take meticulous care of all our vehicles. We use only the best parts and ASE/OEM approved repair procedures. We can not guarantee another shop has the same high standards that we do, therefore having your vehicle repaired at another shop is strictly prohibited.

Our vehicles have no mileage restrictions! Limiting your mileage is limiting your income! Please note that the only limitation is that you cannot drive the vehicle more than 150 miles away from our office.

As a qualified driver, you are responsible for toll charges, parking, and violations. WHIP will receive the infraction and immediately notify you. Failure to pay parking fines can result in immediate revocation of your lease agreement. You can make your payments through the Customer Portal by visiting https://drivewhip.chargeover.com/.

Stay calm and call 911, then please contact us immediately. We have a claims department that will handle the entire insurance process; from getting you into a rental car to handling your collision repair. Do not make any statements or admit guilt to any insurance companies. Allow us to make all communications as we have your best interest in mind.

Please remember that you don’t have a second chance at recreating the scene so take as many photos as possible. Take pictures of everything, including tag numbers, insurance cards, driver’s license, intersection, accident scene, and any information that will help us investigate the claim. This will help in mitigating expenses and correctly identifying the at-fault person. 

There is no long-term commitment with your contract. You can return your car whenever you would like, just please schedule an appointment for drop off with your mentor at least 24 hours in advance. No Fees, No Questions asked!

To cancel your membership, all you must do is contact our Help Desk and set up a time to drop off your vehicles. You’ll have to clear your balance and provide us with 48 hour’s notice prior to drop-off.

There is no cancellation fee applied when canceling your lease.

WHIP does not have this option. We feel car ownership is fading like antennas on T.Vs.

No you cannot. You are the only person authorized to drive the vehicle for any purpose. Allowing someone else to drive the vehicle will immediately void your lease agreement and any protections offered within.
