Charges and fees

Upfront pricing

When you request a ride the Lyft app will show the ride’s upfront price. This price may vary depending on:

 

  • Ride type.

  • Time.

  • Traffic.

  • Driver availability.


The final price of a ride could differ from the upfront price because there was a:

 

  • 10 second or more delay before requesting a ride.

  • Destination added after requesting a ride.

  • Longer than estimated trip.

  • Tip added.


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.

Fare estimates

Lyft shows you fare estimates before you request a ride, so you know what to expect. To calculate the cost of your next Lyft ride, enter your pickup and drop-off location into the app before requesting a ride.
Fare estimates don't reflect any discounts, traffic delays, or factors like adding a stop or changing your destination. Any changes to your ride will cause your final ride price to be different from your fare estimate.

​Included fees

The following fees are included in your upfront price:


​

  • Lyft fare: Based on ride route, ride type, ride availability, and demand.

  • Tolls: Covers any tolls your ride passes through.

  • Service fee: Flat amount based on the region.

  • Third-party fees: Includes any local fees like rideshare taxes, surcharges, and airport fees.
