Creating a self-managed business profile
Learn how Lyft Business makes traveling easy for individual passengers who travel for business frequently. You can create a self-managed business profile — meaning you are not associated with an organization's Lyft Business Profiles program.
In this article, we'll cover:
How to set up a self-managed business profile
- Creating your profile: Visit www.lyft.com/rider/business and create your business profile using your work email OR open your Lyft app, select ‘You’ in the bottom right-hand corner, Profile and then ‘Business profiles.’ If you need to create a business profile under an organization's Lyft Business account, please see this article. Your business profile will connect to your existing Lyft account. If you do not have an existing Lyft account, you'll be prompted to create one before creating your business profile. You can manage and switch between your personal profile and business profile without having to sign in and out of two separate Lyft accounts.
- Verify your work email: Check your email account to verify your email. Once verified, you’ll be logged into your account and prompted to add a payment method.
- Add a payment method: Access your business profile in the 'You' tab of your Lyft app. Tap your ‘Profile,’ ‘Business Profiles’ and then ‘Add payment' to add a credit card or other preferred payment method accepted by Lyft.
- Automate expensing: Go back to your business profile, tap ‘Add expense system’ and select your preferred expense management system.
- Take a business ride: When requesting a ride, make sure to select ‘Business’ on the Home screen, or select the toggle when requesting a ride and you’re ready to get started!
