Ride with ALM offers an independent rental service that provides more flexibility compared to Lyft's Express Drive program. Here’s a breakdown of key differences: Flexibility in Platform: With Ride with ALM, you can drive for Uber, Lyft, or other delivery services like DoorDash or Instacart. Express Drive limits you to only Lyft rides to meet weekly requirements. Rental Terms: Ride with ALM provides customized leasing options to suit your needs, including daily or weekly payment plans. Express Drive often requires drivers to complete minimum ride counts to avoid additional fees. Insurance Options: Ride with ALM allows you to purchase insurance directly from us or use your own. Lyft’s Express Drive includes insurance in the rental cost but restricts how and where you can use the vehicle. Customer Support: Ride with ALM offers dedicated customer service and faster support options, including availability on weekends, whereas Express Drive may have more standardized support procedures. If you’re looking for more control, independence, and options beyond Lyft, Ride with ALM is the better choice. Feel free to contact us at info@ridewithalm.com for more details!
