Can Lyft pick up at 2 locations?

Yes, Lyft does allow passengers to request rides from multiple locations. This feature is called “Stopover” and it allows riders to make up to 2 stops along their route. Whether you need to pick up a friend from another location or quickly grab a coffee on your way, Lyft’s Stopover feature can accommodate your needs. The process of adding a stop to your ride is simple and convenient. Here’s how it works:

When you’re on your Lyft ride, you can easily add a stop by following these steps:
1. Open the Lyft app and enter your destination as you normally would.
2. Once your ride request has been accepted by a driver, tap on the “Add a Stop” button located below your destination address.
3. Enter the address of the additional location you want to stop at and tap “Confirm Stop.”
4. Your driver will be notified of the new stop and the app will update your route accordingly.
5. You can also choose to remove a stop by tapping on the “X” next to the stop in the app.

It’s important to note that additional stops may affect the duration and cost of your ride. Each stop comes with a time limit, typically around 3 minutes, to ensure that the stops are quick and efficient. If you exceed the time limit or require additional stops, additional fees may apply. However, Lyft’s pricing structure is transparent, and you will be informed of any additional charges before confirming your ride.
