Pros and Cons of Lyft and UberThere are some key differences between Uber and Lyft. Uber can be less expensive than Lyft for the average journey—research suggests that Uber is the cheaper company, with the average trip costing $20 compared with the $27 you would spend for an average Lyft trip.
Sometimes a driver may not be in the area and the ride would just get cancelled and Uber would send you a notification that no driver responded to the ride. All Uber does for a scheduled ride is try and time it right with a nearby driver to pick you up close to the time you put in the app. There are no guarantees.
There isn't a specific upcharge or additional fee for scheduled rides, but you might notice that some scheduled rides are more expensive than the same ride at the present time. The price of a scheduled ride depends on predicted demand.
Like any other business, tipping your Uber or Lyft driver is a common courtesy rather than an obligation. Tips of anything between 10% to 20% based on how well the drive was and the length of the trip, and overall ride cost. For the average Uber or Lyft ride, this translates to anywhere from $4 to $6.
While there is no official number as for how long a rider can keep the driver waiting at a stop, I like 5 minutes. 5 minutes is the amount of time a driver will wait at the initial pickup before a rider is considered a “No Show”, so 5 minutes is a good number for stops.
If you are making a very brief stop, you can make it a round-trip by either asking the driver politely to wait for you or leverage the multiple destination feature on the Uber app.
Basic Uber and Lyft pricing is pretty even, but regional variations occur due to supply and demand. Each company calculates surge pricing in a different way, and places with fewer drivers with one or the other firm will feel demand more intensely during busy periods.
