If you’ve been hearing a lot about Lyft lately, there’s a good reason. The rideshare app is now available in more Canadian cities than ever, giving Canadians a new way to get around. Whether you’re heading to work, meeting friends, or catching a flight, Lyft has a ride to get you there.
But Lyft isn’t just another rideshare app. It comes with a range of features designed to make every trip work better for you — and new riders get 50% off their first 5 rides with code 50GB so now’s a great time to try it. Max $10/ride. Terms apply.
Here’s what you need to know.
Your everyday ride, done right
For a lot of trips, a standard Lyft ride does exactly what you need. Open the app, enter your destination, and a driver will be on their way. It’s that simple.
What sets Lyft apart is the experience. Drivers are rated by riders, so you know you’re getting someone who takes driving seriously. And with always-on safety measures built into every ride — from driver background checks to real-time ride monitoring — you can ride with confidence.
Need a ride in a hurry? There’s a feature for that
Get daily National news
Maybe you’re running late for a meeting, trying to catch a flight, or you’ve been standing in the cold for longer than you’d like. That’s where Priority Pickup comes in.
With Priority Pickup, you’ll see shorter wait times for rides. Select this ride mode in the app, get a ride sooner, and arrive without the stress.
Travelling with a group? Lyft XL has you covered
Lyft XL offers larger vehicles with room for up to six passengers, making group travel more comfortable and more practical. It’s the smarter way to get everyone from A to B together — no second car, no squeezing in.
Whether you’re heading out for a big night, travelling with lots of luggage, or just don’t want anyone sitting in the middle seat, Lyft XL gives your group the space it needs — without the need to request two separate rides.
Got time on your side? Save money on your ride
If your plans are loose, try Wait & Save. Select it in the app and Lyft will find you a ride with a flexible pickup window. You still get a private, direct ride to your destination with real-time updates along the way.
It’s a great option for those no-rush trips when saving a little extra makes sense.
50% off your first 5 rides
New to Lyft? New riders can save big with code 50GB. Just enter it here. Offer expires after 14 days. Max $10 off/ride. Terms apply. It’s an easy way to see what Lyft is all about — and with drivers ready to pick you up, your first ride might be closer than you think.
Getting started is easy
You could be ordering your first ride in less than two minutes. Download the app on iOS or Android, create an account, and enter your destination. From there, you can choose the ride that fits your trip — standard, Priority Pickup, Lyft XL, or Wait & Save — and track your driver in real time until they arrive.
Simply put, wherever you’re headed, Lyft has your ride.
