What is Lyft’s Refund Policy? Does Lyft offer an Exchange Program? What if my Lyft Driver doesn’t show up or cancels the ride before pickup? How do I get a refund of my cashless ride?
Lyft’s Refund Policy: Lyft does not offer an exchange program. If you are a passenger, Contact Lyft Support to request a refund . Your driver may also have the option to provide you with another ride free of charge if they are nearby. As for cancellations before pickup or no show incidents, please refer to their terms and conditions.
Can I tip my Lyft Driver? What is the tipping policy with Lyft? Is there a way I can leave my driver a cash tip without using Cashless Payment?
Yes, you can tip your driver! You will need to do this BEFORE you reach your destination with cash or credit/debit card. Please check out their Tips section for more information about how to go about this.
Yes! You can always contact the support team and ask for another Driver. This would be best done before paying for your ride so that the other driver knows exactly where you’re located. You may also want to review their Fare Policy . It lists all policies regarding cancellations, no shows, etc. If you feel like you deserve a refund after a bad experience, please Contact Support . I’ve included their email below in case you would like to reach out and try to find an amicable resolution with them. Be sure to include as many details about your situation.
I have recently had my account closed without any notice. I have contacted lyft and they said that the reason was because their system flagged me for being inactive. The problem is that I never checked out of a ride. A passenger requested to pick me up at my house, and when there was no response by him or anyone in about 10 minutes I cancelled the ride myself from my dashboard (as you can do on Lyft). After cancelling it myself, my account was quickly suspended and then deleted all together within hours of each other. They stated that they will not be able to get back into the account for security reasons but it will automatically be reactivated after 7 days if i sign up again with a new phone number/email address? Is this true? If so, how can I get my information back? Can someone please help me with this situation.
