Lyft APK

Lyft is an app that's similar to Uber that lets you call for a private car to come pick you up anytime you want, as long as the service is offered in your city, of course. Before using the app, you need to create a user account which requires a telephone number. You also have to link a payment method to your user account.Once you're registered with Lyft, you can see the exact positions of all the vehicles that can pick you up at any time. You can see who the driver is and the type of car the person drives. All it takes is one tap to request a ride.When it comes to making a payment, Lyft is super convenient. Not only can you pay directly with the app, you can even split the cost with your friends if you're riding together. This way you can avoid the awkward moment when it comes to paying, and one person in the group doesn't get stuck paying for the whole ride.Lyft is a really interesting app that offers a real alternative to the classic taxis.

FAQs:

Requesting rides in the app

Once you’ve downloaded the Lyft app and created an account:

Tap ‘Search destination’ and enter your drop-off location

Select your preferred ride type. You can learn more about different types of rides at Lyft ride types overview.

Tap ‘Select Lyft’

Confirm or change your pickup location before tapping ‘Confirm and request’

Once you've enabled GPS locating in your phone settings, the Lyft app will automatically set your current address as the ‘pickup’ location.

To add an extra stop during a ride, tap the ‘+’ icon next to the listed addresses at the top of the ride screen.

If you’re making a stop or going to leave the car for more than 5 minutes, ask the driver to end the ride. Then, request a new ride when you’re ready to go to your next destination.

Gate codes

If your driver needs a gate code to get to your pickup location, you have the option to input the gate code before being picked up.

Add your gate code in the pickup notes when requesting a ride, or by tapping “Share gate code” on the gray banner while waiting for your driver. This banner will disappear when the driver arrives at the gate.

If you didn’t enter the code in the pickup notes or banner, you can tap the phone icon to contact your driver and provide the gate code.

Request a ride for someone else

To request a ride for someone else:

Set the rider’s destination

Tap 'Change rider' at the top of the screen

Select a rider from your contact list

The rider will be notified a ride was sent to them

Note: The app will request access to the requestor’s contacts the first time this option is selected. If the rider does not have a Lyft account, they'll receive a link via SMS message to create an account.

Note: Passengers under the age of 18 aren’t allowed to take a Lyft ride without an adult, even if an adult orders the ride for them.

How to sync contacts

An easy way to search for destinations is by syncing the addresses from your contact list. This way, you can easily find contacts’ addresses when typing their name in the drop-off field.

You can then select the contact so the address will be set as the drop-off location. You can also add or delete a contact address, and it will automatically sync with your device’s contact list. Here’s how:

Tap ‘Search destination’

Tap ‘Import contacts’ at the bottom of the list (this will pop-up if you haven’t yet granted access permission)

Tap ‘Allow’ when prompted to give contacts list access

Now your contacts should appear as search results in the drop-off field when you search by their name or address

Tap a contact name to use the address as a destination

You can also tap on the edit button next to the contact to add or remove an address

Final words:

Whether you’re riding to work, taking your #1 for a night on the town, or anything in between, count on Lyft for a ride in minutes. The Lyft app matches you with local drivers in just a few taps. Request, ride, then simply pay in the app.
