The Guru Take

Yes, you can schedule Lyft rides in advance!

In your Lyft app, when selecting your pickup location there is an option to set a desired time for pickup. All you have to do is click on the icon and Lyft will automatically schedule your ride for the desired time. Once you schedule your ride, Lyft will "lock" the price to make sure you are not paying more.

You can schedule a ride up to 7 days before your desired day of pickup, and if you want to cancel your scheduled ride, Lyft will allow you to cancel up to 30 minutes before your trip without a cancellation fee.

    If you search for a ride on RideGuru you can filter your results on the left hand side by "Advanced Bookings Available" this will show you all the companies in your area who allow scheduled rides.

    Scheduled rides also depend on your location.. They're not available everywhere

      If scheduled Lyft rides are available in your area, there will be a "clock" icon to the right of the "pickup location" field. Unfortunately, Lyft scheduled rides are not available everywhere so you might not have this icon option.

      Little hard to see, but can you see this?  The icon to the right of "Where to?"

        I know I had this option the last time I used Lyft, but it's not showing up this time. This is damned frustrating!

        The picture above is from the uber app not the lyft app. Maybe on higher priced phones an end user may have the scheduling feature.

      I don't think there is a way to schedule recurring rides at this time. You would have to pre-schedule every ride for every day individually. I would just order your car when you are ready each day, so much easier.

      Are you still in business?  Your website link doesn't seem to work.  I'd like to maybe schedule a pick up with your drivers but not sure if you're still in business.

      hi,

      Thank you for the promo code. This is my first time using lift; usually I drive, but this time it will be better for me to use a ride. Is there a fee if I want to schedule a lift for tomorrow Wednesday at AM 06:00

      Thank you
