To dispute a charge:
- Open the Lyft app's main menu.
- Tap the 'Ride history. '
- Tap the ride that you need help with.
- Tap 'Get help' at the bottom of the screen.
You can dispute a ride charge instantly, and report anything we should know about a ride or a driver. A Lyft transaction marked as 'pending' isn't a charge. 'Pending' transactions are temporary authorizations from the Lyft app to make sure your payment method works.

Once your bank provider processes the transaction, the temporary authorization will either disappear completely or appear as a refund within 5-7 business days.

New lawsuits say Lyft failed to protect its users from physical and sexual assault. The San Francisco-based ridesharing company Lyft is facing 17 new lawsuits brought by users of its service from around the country, who claim the company failed to protect passengers and drivers from physical and sexual assault.

Lyft fare is based on ride route and ride type, as well as ride availability and demand. When many passengers in your area request a ride at the same time, ride prices will likely be higher than normal. You can expect higher demand during commute hours, big events in town, and when bad weather hits.

The “second” charge is the authorization charge that I see people mentioning. It's only supposed to happen once if you are using a new card with your account, supposedly. It happens to me literally every time I use Lyft now. I'm a student so it's not like I have hundreds of dollars just sitting in my checking.

Tips for interacting with passengers We recommend that you don't take personal calls while driving. A phone call-free ride creates a friendlier and more welcoming environment for passengers. We advise avoiding sensitive subjects such as dating, politics, religion, and sexual orientation.

Much like Uber, Lyft loses money because it spends more money than it brings in. More specifically, Lyft's operating costs are far higher than its gross profit. What does that mean?

Some other reasons why you might cancel a ride include (but aren't limited to): You or a loved one has an emergency. You feel unsafe completing the ride. You've looked for your passenger, tried contacting them, and still can't see them.

Lyft doesn't charge your payment method on file until you reach your destination. It means that you won't have to request a full refund if you cancel your ride or if the driver never shows up. Canceled rides are free as long as you tap on 'edit ride' and cancel the ride within the cancellation window.
