Lyft lost and found policy
Although Lyft does not have a specific hub where you can collect your lost items, it does help customers in reclaiming the lost items that they forget in a Lyft vehicle. Lyft collects data on its passengers, like personal information and driver information, which might be used to detect a lost item. Second, its mobile application assists passengers in initiating a forgotten item process. Because the lost item procedure must be arranged by the passenger and Lyft driver, Lyft is only responsible for facilitating a meeting location between the passenger and driver.
Getting in touch with the Lyft driver
The quickest way to recover your lost belongings is to contact your Lyft driver. So, how can you get in touch with your driver for help?
- When you report a lost belonging through the Lyft app or the link in your electronic ride invoice, you will be able to call or text your driver. These options will be accessible to you for 24 hours following the conclusion of your ride.
- Start the Lyft app and navigate to ‘Ride History.’ Find the ride where you lost your belonging and enter the necessary info.
- This will notify your driver that an item has been lost in their vehicle by text message.
- You can phone/ text your Lyft driver to discuss how to reclaim your lost item. The Lyft app hides your personal contact information by using a masked phone number for calls and texts.
- After arranging a meeting place and recovering your lost belongings, you will be charged a $15 fee to compensate for the driver’s time. You will only be charged this cost after the driver has helped you return your lost item.
- Lyft Pink members, an exclusive Lyft membership, are exempt from lost and found costs.
