All ride types
Economy
  1. Standard: Standard car for up to 4 riders.
  2. Wait & Save: Lock in a lower price when it’s busy — it’s our most affordable personal ride. Once you book, there's a longer wait so we can pair you with the best driver for your route and pickup spot.
  3. Priority Pickup: Get a faster pickup at a slightly higher price.
  4. Green: Requesting Green will pair you with an electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid for a lower-emission ride. You’ll only be able to choose Green when there are EVs or hybrids nearby.
Note: Green is only available in certain regions.
Wait & Save and Priority Pickups may not always be available, depending on how many drivers are nearby. Wait & Save and Priority Pickup rides are currently only available in some areas.
Premium
  1. Extra Comfort: Rides in newer, roomier vehicles with top-rated drivers.
  2. Black: Premium black car service with leather seats for up to 4 riders
Extra seats
  1. XL: SUV for up to 6 riders
  2. Black SUV: Premium black SUV with leather seats for up to 6 riders
Other types
  1. Scooter: Compact scooter for a single rider
  2. Bikes: Reserve and rent single rider bikes
  3. Car Seat: Vehicle fitted with a child’s car seat (only available in New York City)
  4. Access: Wheelchair-accessible vehicle for fixed frame wheelchairs and up to 2 additional passengers
  5. Lyft Assisted: If you would like assistance during pickups and drop-offs, your healthcare provider, plan, or transportation service can request a Lyft Assisted ride for you.
  6. Pet rides: Bring along your pet for an additional fee. This option fits up to four people and one well-behaved animal. Only available in select markets.
Note: Drivers are required by law and Lyft’s policy to accommodate passengers with service animals even if they don’t request a Pet ride or if you have opted out of Pet rides.
Promotional ride types
In select cities, you may see promotional ride types become available in partnership with local events or organizations.
The details and duration of these promotional types change based on the promotion and don't affect the ride types normally available in your area.
Can I request a specific car?
While you’re unable to request a specific driver, car, or type of car, there are different ride types available to meet your travel needs.
