Lyft Questions

I'll be staying offsite and won't have a car so I'm thinking I'll use Lyft and get a ride when I need one. I don't have Lyft at moment as it's not available locally (at least at the moment) and I would like to save room on my credit card and use a gift card. Would I be able to get a gift card at a Walmart or a Publix when I get to Orlando?

You don't have any local stores at all that well Visa gift cards?

I never thought of that, was focussed on the Lyft gift card itself.

I could be wrong, but I think most grocery stores, pharmacies, etc sell VISA gift cards.

With Uber, you can pay by credit or debit card, Venmo, PayPal, Google Pay (possibly Apple Pay -- I have an Android phone), and Uber gift card. I don't believe Uber accepts any other gift card.

If you go to the Uber webpage you will also see an option for paying cash, but cash rides are illegal in Florida (and most markets in the US).

For Lyft, go to lyft.com and look for payment options.

As a driver for both companies, I recommend that you have both apps on your phone. Prices do vary, and so do promotions, so it's a good idea to price check before you order a ride. Both apps are very easy to use and price-checking only takes a minute.

It also makes sense to have Uber on your phone if Lyft doesn't service your hometown.
