What are the benefits of Concierge?

1. An intuitive, easy-to-use form for sending rides

The ride request form in Concierge is split into two separate steps. To start a ride request, click the 'Request' button in the top left corner of the screen and enter the following details of the ride on the first page of the form:

  • The rider’s first and last name
  • The rider’s mobile number
  • The rider's preferred language 
  • The pick-up address
  • The drop-off address
  • (Optional) Add a pickup note for the driver

The pickup and drop-off locations will be displayed as pins on the map on the right. You’ll also find the upfront price and estimated distance in the top left corner of the map.

When you’re done entering in the details, click the purple arrow to move on to the second page of the form. You can request an on-demand ride, schedule a ride for a future date or send a flexible ride.

For on-demand rides (when 'Now' is selected as the pickup time), coordinators can see the nearest drivers on the map and the estimated pickup time before requesting the ride.

Next, select the ride type: — Lyft, Lyft XL, Extra Comfort, etc. The cost is displayed for each ride type so you can select the option that works best for your rider. You can also select here to include an optional tip for the driver. 

Lastly, you can select Wait & Save, Priority Pickup or Preferred for your rides.

  • Wait & Save is Lyft’s most affordable ride mode for non-time-sensitive rides. In exchange for your riders being willing to wait to be matched with a driver, you’ll get lower prices.
  • Priority Pickup is for riders in a hurry. For a fee, priority pickup offers riders a faster ETA than a standard ride. On average, priority pickup is $5 more expensive than a standard ride.
  • Preferred is for riders who would like a newer, more spacious car with a top-rated driver. 

You can include an optional internal note for your organization’s own records by clicking ‘+ Include an internal memo’. This internal memo is just for your team and is never seen by the driver or rider.

Now, you’re all set — click ‘Request ride’ to complete your requested ride!

2. A navigation bar to monitor your organization’s rides and find the information you need, faster.

Use the navigation bar to quickly and easily start a new ride request, view current rides, and fix any issues that may come up. The top navigation includes the following four tabs to see your rides:

  1. All rides: an overview of all of your program's completed rides and rides currently in progress and their current status in a single list
  2. Active: filtered view of only the rides that are currently in progress
  3. Upcoming: all future scheduled & flexible rides
  4. Notifications: this will inform you of a ride cancellation or a scheduled ride that has failed to dispatch. These notifications will appear for all rides requested by the program’s admins. In the event that a ride is canceled or fails to dispatch, you will receive an error message in the Notifications tab explaining the reason behind this.

3. Ride cards provide one central view of ride details and quick actions for a ride

When you select a ride from the ride list, a ride card will appear to provide fast access to important information about the ride, including its status and the vehicle/driver information. If you need to see additional details about the ride, just tap ‘Show ride details’ on the ride card to expand it and view all other relevant details.

You’ll also be able to use four action buttons directly on the ride card to quickly:

  1. Cancel
  2. Request again
  3. Schedule return
  4. Contact Support

4. Full Tablet and mobile support to access Concierge on the go

Lyft Concierge now works on tablets, so you can request and manage rides no matter where you are. Smartphone support is coming soon!
