Priority Pickup upgrades are subject to availability across all regions. Priority Pickup upgrades are not available for wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAV).

- As a Lyft Pink member, you get access to free roadside assistance for your own car—right in the Lyft app. Once you add your car, you can get four services (or “events”) included with a Lyft Pink membership per year. For example, if you need fuel and a tire change, that would count as two of the four roadside services you get per year. After that, you’d pay for each service individually. These four roadside services are refreshed at the start of every membership year. Roadside assistance covers you when in your own car, as well as when you’re in someone else’s car. You must be present and able to show proof of permission of the vehicle owner at the time the service is requested. Roadside services may only be requested for a personal vehicle that can be legally towed with light duty towing equipment. The roadside services are provided through Lyft’s partner, Agero, and not by Lyft and may be subject to additional terms. You cannot get the same service for free twice in a 7-day period. Roadside services are not currently available in Nevada. To learn more about services and limitations, visit our roadside assistance website at https://www.lyft.com/rider/roadside-assistance.
- To get started, open the Lyft app and look for the ‘steering wheel’ icon in the bottom right corner. Access to roadside is also available by clicking ‘My Car’ in the side menu that appears if you tap the top left corner of your screen. Once you’ve tapped ‘My Car,’ you can tap ‘Add Car’ to get started and add your car information. To request roadside assistance, select ‘Roadside’ from the service menu. Make sure you have the latest version of the Lyft app downloaded.
