How To Turn OFF Lyft 'Ride Switches' On The Way To Pickup

In this video, Sergio and Chris tackle a frustrating issue known as the "Switcheroo" — when Lyft drivers get rerouted mid-pickup to a different passenger, often sending them back in the direction they just came from.

The guys walk through exactly how to disable it so drivers can avoid unexpected detours and save time and gas.

They also share a wild story about a driver who declined a $17 trip — only to be offered the same ride later for $35 — proving that turning off auto queue and ride switching can really pay off.
