Uber vs. Lyft

I have been a customer of Uber for years. Even when they had bad press about safety and such. I have always felt safe using Uber. Let’s compare uber vs. lyft.

I have always been loyal to Uber until now! So why the switch? I’ll get to that…. When it comes to Uber vs. Lyft, which one do you use?

Why I use ride share

I use Uber to get around town when I need to go somewhere. Otherwise, if I can purchase it online, I will do that.

I am thankful we have medical transportation provided for us through our insurance company. This allows us to get to and from our appointments! This saves me so much money!

Why I tried Lyft

My son and I had to go to the “urgent care” the other evening. My son was still sick and coughing a lot. I wanted to make sure he didn’t have strep throat like me!

Our Uber driver asked if I use Uber regularly. I told him yes. He suggested I download Lyft and use it a few times. Uber will then start sending your $5 and $10 coupons!

I’ve always avoided Lyft because I was too lazy to set up yet another account with an app! However, since I’m a single mom on a budget, I decided to try it.

Uber vs. Lyft

I had to go shopping for a few things which meant we had to get a ride. I opened up the Lyft app and priced out what a ride would cost. Then, I opened up Uber and plugged in the same info. 

Guess what I found?

Lyft is cheaper. It was $2 less than what Uber was charging!

Lyft was cheaper for the ride home too! And yes, I did price them both out!

Compare Fares

Overall, now that I have both ride share apps on my phone, I plan on comparing fares from now on.

I am trying to watch what I spend but I also need to go places! I have heard before that Lyft is cheaper than Uber. Now, I’m a believer!
If anything, give either or both apps a try! 

When it comes to uber vs. lyft, which is your favorite? Do you stay loyal to one company?
