    Scheduled rides for riders

    In some regions, Lyft offers scheduled rides for standard, XL, Lux, Lux Black, and Lux Black XL ride types. Plan ahead by scheduling a ride up to 30 days ahead of time.
    Scheduled rides are:
    • Not always available.

    Scheduling a ride

    When possible, you can plan ahead by scheduling a ride up to 30 days ahead of time. When you schedule a ride, you’ll specify your pickup window. We’ll send you a reminder before your pickup.
    If you can't select the 'Schedule' option in the app, scheduled rides may not be available in your area.
    To schedule a ride:
    1. Set your destination, then tap the ‘Schedule’ calendar icon on the ride type selection screen.
    2. Choose a date and time, then tap 'Set pickup time.'
    3. Confirm your pickup and drop-off location, then tap 'Schedule.'
    Note: we can’t guarantee the availability of drivers in your area during your pickup window.

    Cancelling a scheduled ride

    To cancel a scheduled ride:
    1. Tap the calendar icon in the upper right-hand corner of the home screen.
    2. Tap the scheduled ride you want to cancel.

    Lyft’s normal cancellation policy may apply if:

    • The driver is on their way to pick you up.
    • The driver is scheduled to arrive within the designated pickup window.
