How to Contact Lyft

PissedConsumer Reporter

The company does not provide a direct customer service phone number or email. However, in the instance of an accident, safety incident, or citation, you can call an emergency hotline at 1-844-554-1297. Note that the primary way to contact Lyft customer support is via their app or website. You could fill out a contact form on the Lyft website or contact them on their social media pages.

Yes, Lyft offers 24/7 customer service through various channels:

- Phone Support: in case of an accident or safety incident, you can reach Lyft's customer service at their emergency hotline anytime, day or night.
- In-App Help Center: you are able to access support through the Lyft app whenever you need by navigating to the Help Center.
- Email Customer Care: send your message directly to Lyft support via email, and the company's representatives will usually respond within business hours.
- Social Media: Reach out to Lyft on platforms like Twitter (@lyft) and Facebook (facebook.com/lyft).

Note that while these channels are available 24/7, response times may vary depending on the nature of your inquiry.

To get in touch with the customer care agents via the Lyft app, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account.
2. Go to the Lyft Menu.
3. Tap on the "Help" button.
4. Select the "Contact Us About Any Issue" option.
5. Follow the prompts to get a contact form.
6. Fill out the form and tab "Submit."

If you experience difficulties contacting support or finding the form, ensure you have the latest app version.

Although you cannot call Lyft customer service directly from the app, you have the option to request them to make a 911 call discretely on your behalf.

1. Open the Lyft app on your mobile device.
2. Select the "Safety Tool" option at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap the "Get Emergency Help" tab.
4. If you are a rider, tap the "Alert 911 Silently" button.
5. Drivers can choose the "Select Call from ADT," and ADT (a private security firm that has partnered with Lyft to offer safety support) will call your phone.
6. If you don't pick up, they will go ahead to call 911 and share your location.

Go to Lyft.com and scroll down to the bottom of the page. From the driver or rider menu, select Help. Choose the category you would like assistance with. You will be led through a number of drop-down menu prompts to clarify the issue. The last step will be to fill out a contact form where you will provide your email address, subject of your issue, phone number, category, and description of the issue. You can also add an attachment and submit your query. Lyft will contact you either via phone or email.

If you are a Driver, you can follow simple steps to chat with Lyft's customer care:

1. Open the Lyft Driver app.
2. Tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner.
3. Select "Help".
4. Choose the topic that best matches your issue.
5. Scroll to the bottom and tap "Contact Us" to initiate a chat with support.

Riders can chat with the Lyft customer service agents by following these steps:

1. Open the Lyft app.
2. Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.
3. Select "Help".
4. Choose the relevant topic for your issue.
5. If further assistance is needed, scroll down and tap "Contact Support" to start a chat.

The Lyft customer service representatives are highly engaging on the Twitter customer support page (@AskLyft) and Facebook page. If you post your complaint on their Twitter feed, you will be requested to direct message with further details. There is no option to post a review on their Facebook page, but most customers post their complaints as comments on the most recent Lyft post. Often, a Lyft customer service representative responds by asking you to message them directly.

Lyft -don't expect customer service

Twice in 2 days my "scheduled" rides, one to airport and one to dialysis, driver never showed. I needed to drive to LAX to catch my plane and parking cost me $181.

There are no live options to speak w Lyft rep. I emailed my complaints 3x to Lyft. As of today, almost one week since first no show, I have not heard from Lyft. My request to Lyft was to request refund of $181 I was forced to pay for remote parking for my 4 day trip.

I sent them an attached of photo of parking receipt. Totally unacceptable.

Lyft has a location problem, It scheduled me a driver more than 50 miles away, then charged me a no show fee. The next day my credit card was charged $80 for a ride in a city I have never been.

No customer service, so I had yo dispute charges at my bank. Just terrible company.

I do not believe there is no such thing as customer service for Lyft or any such service whatsoever made easily available to even their employees.

Worst ever, believe Ryders word, when some people is doing this not to pay fare. Even with your proof they will still believe a Ryder with only alleged claims.
