If you ask your Lyft driver to wait, the maximum time they can stay is 10 minutes before they end the trip. If you are going to make a mid-stop to pick something up, make it a short trip. Anything longer than 10 minutes, we advise you to end the trip and start a new one once you're done with your errands.
