Managing payment methods for business rides

Learn how to add multiple credit cards to your Lyft account and set default payment methods for both your personal and business profile. To make paying for you business rides even easier, set up direct billing to directly expense your rides to your company. 

In this article, we'll cover: 


What are the accepted payment methods?

  • Lyft works with major credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover), debit cards tied to checking accounts, and prepaid cards.
  • PayPal (for iOS and Android users), Apple Pay, and Android Pay.
  • You may also use direct billing as your default payment method for business rides. 

Our payments are processed by Stripe. Review Stripe's FAQ if you have questions or concerns about the security of your payment info.
