    Lyft Rideshare

    Friendly alternative to Uber.

    1. Sign up

    Free. Same rules as Uber. Pay through the app, tip optional.

    2. Compare prices

    Sometimes cheaper than Uber, sometimes pricier. Check both apps for big trips.

    3. Schedule ahead

    Book a ride days in advance for airport trips. Confirms the night before.

    4. Lyft Healthcare

    Some doctor offices and Medicare plans book Lyft rides for free to appointments.

    5. Wait time

    Most cities under 5 minutes. Rural areas may take 15+ minutes.

    6. Confirm before getting in

    License plate, driver name, photo all in the app. Match all three before opening the door.

    Both Uber and Lyft track every trip. If anything feels wrong, share trip with family.
