Lyft Launches $299 Monthly 'All-Access' Plan

The app-based rideshare service Lyft simply officially launched a new "All-Access" subscription plan that could salve frequent riders some money.

Hither'due south how information technology works: You pay an upfront fee of $299 every xxx days and get 30 rides valued at up to $xv for the calendar month. If a ride goes over $15, you pay the difference. Subscribers also become five percent off any additional rides after the first thirty.

The plan applies to all ride types, including Lyft 40 offering room for up to six passengers, Lyft Lux for loftier-end cars, Lux Blackness for "an ultra-high-cease black car piloted by a top driver," and Lux Blackness XL for a luxury SUV with room for six. Take annotation that All-Access benefits do non coil over to the post-obit period, and then if don't think you'll accept at to the lowest degree 30 rides that calendar month, it's probably not worth information technology.

Lyft has been testing this service for months, only on an invitation-merely basis. Starting today, all Usa riders can subscribe to the programme without an invite. If you don't run into the pick correct away, just sit down tight: Lyft said it will be available to everyone in the Usa past the end of the week.

Lyft said this is "the first pace toward delivering on our goal of making car buying optional."

"When you spend less time driving (and parking), yous have more freedom — and more savings," the company wrote in a weblog postal service. "Americans who employ the All-Admission Programme for all of their personal car needs can save up to 59 percentage per month compared to owning a auto."

Meanwhile, if yous're looking for a ride to cast your ballot on Ballot Solar day, Lyft has y'all covered. Lyft, along with rival Uber, will be offer free and discounted rides to the polls on Midterm Election Day, Nov. 6.

Lyft has partnered with voter turnout organizations such as Vote.org, Nonprofit Vote, and TurboVote to distribute 50 percent off promo codes. Members of underserved communities can get a costless Lyft ride to the polls via nonpartisan, nonprofit groups such equally Voto Latino, local Urban League affiliates, and the National Federation for the Blind.
