Lyft for iOS and iPad: Rides, Transit and More

Lyft is a travel and navigation app for arranging rides and exploring other ways to get around. Enter a destination to see a route and ride cost before choosing an option. It can be useful for commutes, errands, nights out or getting to the airport.

The app is available for iOS and iPad. It is free to install, but rides and other services may have separate costs.

Ride and travel options

Depending on your location, Lyft may offer:

• Wait & Save for a lower-cost ride option.
• Priority Pickup for a quicker pickup option.
• Lyft XL and Lyft Lux ride types.
• Bikes & Scooters, public transit routes and rentals.

Available services vary by region, so the options shown in the app may differ from one city to another. Fares can also change with market conditions; check the ride cost shown for your trip before selecting an option.
