We monitor rides for unusual activity, like long stops or route deviations. If we notice anything off about your ride, we'll contact you to see if you need help. Add your trusted contacts to your safety settings. For extra peace of mind, let loved ones see where you are, in real time.

Be sure that your driver has prior experience and a good rating. Share your trip with a trusted friend or family member. Share your whereabouts with someone other than who you're with so they know when you make it home safely. Confirm the car, license plate and driver before getting in.

Lyft is rolling out a new feature for women and nonbinary users to help make the ride-hailing experience more comfortable for riders and drivers. Women Plus Connect, announced Tuesday, is an opt-in, preference-based feature that works to match up women and nonbinary riders with women and nonbinary drivers.

In 2021, Lyft said there were more than 1,800 reports of sexual assault during Lyft rides in 2019. Labor groups say the drivers who work for Uber, Lyft and other gig companies like DoorDash are also at risk.

There's auto insurance to help protect you Leading auto insurance providers help protect riders and drivers on the Uber app. Uber maintains commercial auto insurance in case of a covered accident, including at least $1 million in liability insurance on behalf of drivers and delivery people once a ride is accepted.

Lyft, Inc. is an American company offering mobility as a service, ride-hailing, vehicles for hire, motorized scooters, a bicycle-sharing system, rental cars, and food delivery in the United States and select cities in Canada.

Lyft is a ride-sharing service that launched in 2012 as an alternative to traditional taxi services and in direct competition with Uber. Rather than hailing a cab or calling a car service, people use a smartphone app to request a ride.

About half of Lyft's passengers but just 23 percent of its drivers are women, the company said. “Women drivers tell us it's hard to drive at night,” said Jody Kelman, Lyft's executive vice president of customers. “We need to remove a barrier for women drivers today.”

In the release, Lyft says that while women make up nearly half of the demographic of its riders, only 23% of its drivers are women.
