Lyft Offered Me Some IPO Stock and I Bought It

What would you do if you were offered $1,000 to buy Lyft stock? That’s a question senior RSG contributor Jay Cradeur was recently faced with. Here’s what Jay ended up doing with his $1,000 from Lyft – let us know if you received any money for the Lyft IPO and what you did with it in the comments.

About a month ago, I received notice that Lyft would be giving cash bonuses to its most loyal drivers. And since I had done over 10,000 rides with Lyft, I would be getting a $1,000 cash bonus that I could then invest in Lyft’s pre-IPO shares.

This was all a part of Lyft’s public relations campaign to demonstrate their commitment to the drivers. The intent of the bonus, besides the positive PR, was to foster investment in Lyft’s pre-IPO (Initial Public Offering) stock. I would have the option to use the $1,000 bonus to buy stock in Lyft.

6 Takeaways from Lyft’s Financials (S-1 Released!)

On Friday, Lyft passed Uber in the race to IPO and officially filed their S-1 with the SEC.

There’s still some marketing and PR fluff in the doc, but it also reveals all of the financials and more that we’ve been wondering about for years.

You can read the official document here or read on for a list of my top six takeaways.

Got In An Accident While Driving for Lyft – What Happens Next?

Today’s post comes from reader Tom, who contacted RSG to let us know his experience with Lyft’s insurance agent, Marsh Risk & Insurance Services. His story, outlined below, shows what can happen when you make a claim with Lyft’s insurance agent after a Lyft accident.

While Lyft and Uber do offer insurance coverage for drivers, in many cases it’s not sufficient during Period 1 (app on but no passenger in the car), which is why we recommend getting a rideshare endorsement to a regular auto insurance policy. It’s important to find an agent who understands rideshare drivers, which is why we’ve put together the Rideshare Insurance Marketplace.

Here you can find a list of insurance agents by state that are familiar with rideshare insurance and can help you find the best, most comprehensive auto insurance and rideshare coverage.
