Maintaining Lyft Stickers: A Guide for Drivers

As an Uber and Lyft driver, you may wonder about the proper way to handle your Lyft stickers when you are off-duty. This article provides clarity on whether and how to maintain your Lyft sticker while not in service.

My Experience with Lyft Stickers

As many drivers like me, you might have experienced the frustration of keeping Lyft stickers on your vehicle. Whether you use suction cups or an illuminated sign, the question arises: do you need to keep it up or is it okay to remove it when off-duty?

The Importance of Displaying Your Lyft Stickers

According to Lyft's policy, you are required to display the Lyft stickers on your windshield, both on the front and back windows. This is a legal requirement and ensures that riders know that you are a Lyft driver.

User-Reported Practices

Several drivers, including Christine020921, report that they have been given multiple stickers and keeping them on display at all times prevents the hassle of taking them on and off. Others, like the user who does not wish to be named, prefer to use an indicator and remove the stickers when not in service. Some rely on dedicated Lytn indicators, which remain on charge in the console or at home.

Conclusion and Advice

Ultimately, whether you keep your Lyft stickers up or down when off-duty is a matter of personal preference. However, it is important to remember that the stickers are a legal requirement while you are working. If you are selling the car, giving it to someone else, or leaving the company, it is advisable to remove the stickers.

For potential drivers interested in signing up with Lyft, make sure to keep your stickers visible and use the code Christine020921 to become a driver.
