Safety is built into every aspect of driving with Lyft — we’ve got your back before, during, and after every ride.
Safety tools, features, and tutorials
Here are a few ways we help protect drivers while they’re on the road:
In-app safety features
From the Lyft Driver app, you have access to 24/7 support, roadside assistance, emergency services, and real-time maps you can share with family and friends. We’ve created a tutorial with more details about these features, and that will help you understand how they work.
Prioritizing well-being
As the COVID-19 outbreak evolves, we’re updating our policies and developing new safety education tools to help everyone protect each other. In our safety tutorial, you’ll learn tips from the CDC, WHO, and the Public Health Agency of Canada about how to prioritize everyone’s well-being — including your own — when you’re behind the wheel.
Expecting the unexpected
As a Lyft driver, you’ll interact with people from all different kinds of backgrounds and experiences. We want to make sure you always feel comfortable, and have a few strategies to help you navigate unexpected situations.
