I recently got a Lyft account and this was my first ride ever.
I went on the app and signed into my account then entered the origin and destination not once, but three times in the days leading up to my trip.
When I arrived at the place where I wanted to be picked up.....Lyft was picking up other people but my driver cancelled my ride and I was unable to rebook at the original price and instead $50 was the lowest available fare on the app now. I had no choice but to accept the new, more than doubled rate.
They do state that fares can vary...but this wasn't a simple variance, this was more than double the original quote.
So is this the way Lyft and Uber always work?
I also have been reading a story on USA Today where there is a Lyft scam where drivers drop you off then claim you damaged their car either with vomit, drinks or some other claim which is entirely false and Lyft adds a considerable "cleanup / repair" fee onto your bill on top of the fare.
Anyone heard of this?
