Lyft has partnered with Venmo, allowing users to pay for their rides using their Venmo balances and easily split the cost of their ride. The feature was rolled out in October and will launch to all U.S. Lyft riders in the coming weeks.
To avail this feature, customers will need latest version of the latest versions of both apps to link them, and it’ll take just a couple of taps to add Venmo as a Lyft payment option. Splitting a fare with someone else is as simple as finding the transaction in Venmo and choosing the person who’s covering part of the fee.
In addition to paying for Lyft rides, riders will also be able to pay with Venmo for bike or scooter rides from the Lyft app.
Riders can already pay with PayPal and can add credit cards, debit cards, direct banking, easy budgeting with Lyft Cash, and more, all from the Payment screen in the Lyft app.
