Price comparison SF:
Uber X: $3 base fare, $0.30 per minute, $1.50 per mile
Lyft: $2.25 base fare, $0.27 per minute, $1.35 per mile
Both have a $1 trust and safety fee, and Lyft has a lower minimum.
I’ve personally had better experiences with Lyft overall, and I’ve taken at least 100 rides with each service.
- narsil 12y agoAnecdotally, I've had better experiences with Lyft as well. Uber's customer support has been terrible in comparison.
- ToastyMallows 12y agoAgreed. I can't even sign up for their app on Android using Google account and Google Wallet. I emailed their support email a week ago and haven't heard anything back. The Wallet dialog pops up but I can't click anything. Looks like I won't be signing up with Uber anytime soon.
- colmvp 12y agoI just got back from the U.S. Where I was, Uber was constantly jacking up the price with surge pricing, between 1.25x to 1.75x the normal price. Meanwhile, Lyft not only wasn't jacking up the price during those same hours but was running a 25% special. On top of that, the Lyft drivers were typically friendlier. No brainer which one I recommend to others.
- grubles 12y agoAm I the /only/ person commenting that has had a better experience with Uber? I am having a hard time thinking about using Lyft over Uber in the future (West LA area).
- petercoolz 12y agoSame here... west LA too. UberX usually has more cars available and the Lyft ones are usually older models.
- progx 12y agoIs the comparison usefull? I think many drivers use both Uber and Lyft. And at the end the good care belongs to the driver not to the services behind them.
