Introducing Fast Match: Making SAN Pickups Easier For You

Leaving the airport should be the easiest part of traveling. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, it's not. With Fast Match, our new pickup feature, you can expect a smoother — and faster — curbside experience.

We're excited to announce that Fast Match is coming to Terminal 2 at the San Diego International Airport (SAN) — and we look forward to bringing this experience to other airports in the future.

Starting now, when you request a standard Lyft ride from SAN, expect less confusion for both you and your Lyft driver.

Instead of searching for your driver at often-hectic pickup areas, we’ll direct you to a clearly-marked Lyft pickup area, located at Terminal 2. You’ll join a designated line (with other Lyft passengers) and show a unique four-digit code to the next available driver. 

We understand that Fast Match is a different way to request airport rides, so Lyft ambassadors will be at Terminal 2 to assist you.

Here’s to making travel less stressful.

How to Request Your Fast Match Pickup at SAN:

Enter your destination, and request a standard Lyft ride. 

If available, you’ll see a new screen pop up in your app. Tap Get code to get your unique four-digit code. 

Follow the directions to the outer traffic island at Terminal 2, and join the Lyft Fast Match line. (A friendly Lyft ambassador will be there to assist you.) 

When you get to the front of the line, show your code to the driver. Once you’re matched, hop in, and be on your way. 

**Only available at select airports and is subject to availability. User must select a standard Lyft ride for this feature.
