How does the roadside assistance benefit work?

Accepted Answer

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.
