Scheduling a ride
When you schedule a ride, you must specify a pickup window. You can schedule a ride up to 7 days ahead of time.
- Set your destination.
- Tap 'Schedule' on the ride mode selection screen.
- Set your pickup address.
- Choose a date and time and tap 'Set pick up time.'
- Confirm your pickup and drop-off location, then tap 'Schedule.'
You’ll get a reminder before your pickup.
We’ll make your ride available to drivers in the area. We can't guarantee a driver will be available in your area at the specific time the ride is being requested for.
Cancelling a scheduled ride
To cancel a scheduled ride:
- Tap the calendar icon that appears in the right corner.
- Tap the scheduled ride you want to cancel.
- Tap 'Cancel ride' below the details.
- Tap 'Confirm.'
You can cancel a scheduled ride at any time, but Lyft's normal cancellation fee policy applies if:
- You cancel the ride after a driver has been matched.
- The driver is on their way to pick you up.
- The driver is scheduled to arrive within the designated pickup window.
