Lyft partners with Hertz to offer its drivers affordable rental rates

If you’ve been trying to become a driver for Lyft, but your car doesn’t have four door or is too old, the company has a solution. It’s partnered with Hertz car rentals for what it’s calling “affordable” daily, weekly, and monthly rates. In addition to giving new drivers a chance to earn some extra cash, the partnership is also meant to help current drivers whose cars may be in the shop or is otherwise unavailable. The partnership has already launched in Las Vegas and should be rolling out to other cities by the end of the year. At driver event this morning, the ride-sharing platform also announced a partnership with Shell for gas rewards. Drivers get a unique PIN code that offers discounts fuel depending on how often you fill up. The more gas you use, the cheaper your fuel. Power drivers could earn free gasoline with the system. It’s launching in San Francisco, Chicago and Boston and will be available at all Shell stations nationwide by the end of the ear.

Just to keep the driver love going, the company also announced a product for immediate cash out of funds. Express Pay will transfer funds immediately from a driver’s account into their bank account if they have a minimum balance of $50. The new insta-cash feature will launch at the beginning of November.
