Friendly Rides on Demand

Lyft is the friendly ride-sharing app that matches you with local drivers at the tap of a button. Whether you need a standard ride for your commute, a spacious XL for groups, or a bike for a quick trip, Lyft helps you get where you need to go.

Choose How You Ride

  • β€’Wait & Save: Pay a lower fare if you are willing to wait a bit longer for pickup.
  • β€’Lyft XL: Larger vehicles that fit up to 6 passengers or extra luggage.
  • β€’Bikes & Scooters: Rent wheels for short urban trips in select cities.
  • β€’Safety Tools: Share your trip details with loved ones in real-time.

Editor's Review

Lyft positions itself as the friendlier alternative in the ride-share market. The app is bright, intuitive, and offers excellent transparency on pricing. The 'Wait & Save' feature is a standout for budget-conscious travelers who aren't in a rush. While it lacks the massive global footprint of its main competitor (operating mostly in the US and Canada), it makes up for it with a great rewards program linked to partners like Delta and Hilton.

Who is this for?

Commuters, night-out goers, and travelers in North America looking for reliable and friendly transportation.
