Below is a list of different type of ride modes Lyft offers riders.
Standard rides:
- Lyft: Standard Lyft car for up to 4 riders
- Shared: Share a car with riders headed in the same direction at a discounted price
- Shared Saver: Walk a short distance to a Shared ride pickup location for the lowest price
- Wait & Save: Lock in a lower price when it’s busy — it’s our most affordable personal ride. Once you request a ride, there’s a longer wait so we can pair you with the best driver for your route and pickup spot. Wait & Save is currently a pilot and is not available in all markets.
- Priority Pickup: Get a faster pickup at a slightly higher price
- Preferred: Standard Lyft ride for up to 4 riders. Take a ride with a top-rated driver in a newer, spacious car. Preferred is currently a pilot and is not available in all markets
Note: Wait & Save, Priority Pickups, and Preferred rides are currently only available in some areas.
