      I was double charged by a Lyft driver named Samir on 5/3/22. He was second driver to show up at *** (******** airport) 10:30 pm after a flight from **. I hadnt used Lyft for quite awhile and after initial text that a driver was coming; he texted me via phone a Ca. phone #**********. Upon his arrival I asked if he/Lyft took cash (like a taxi) he said yes. We chatted about quite a few things, he mentioned it was hes last drive of the night and upon arrival at my daughters I paid him the $29 that had been the price I had been given at the airport and a $6 tip totaling &35. I didnt think twice about the transaction until another Lyft driver in ********* **, **. (about a week later) told me that Lyft drivers NEVER take cash. Thats when I called my Citicard and sure enough I was charged $29.63 for the ride 5/3/22.I have contacted ******************************* more than once and also wrote to Lyft -*****************************************. I also asked citicard MC to dispute the charge.The drivers in ****** all had cameras. Do they do in *******? If so, his camera shouldve been on right? All shouldve been recorded, no? Lyft has totally ignored my issue. He/they have gotten paid almost $65 for about a 20 min. drive from ******** airport to Ladds addition in ******** proper. What recourse do I have? R Lyft rides in *** recorded? If so they can see he said hed take cash. Oh and I realized later as well, that the normal Lyft prompt of adding a tip or leaving a rating never came up on the app when I tried to give him a negative review about a week after the ride. I I think maybe he was off the clock even tho I did get an official charge on the card I had apparently still had active on Lyft site a couple years ago. What now?

      Complaint: 17300911

      I am rejecting this response because: I did respond to them and  asked if there was a video of the ride on May 3. He lied to me and said cash was an acceptable form of payment. Which I did $29 + $6 tip. Then they charged my card. I did go thru the app to get the ride but as Ive said it then went to a phone number from his end which hasnt happened before. And I got no add tip or rate the ride promptsit was his last ride and I figured he was off the clock or something. His actions should be addressed since they wont take my word for the amount paid to him.

      I was quoted a fare of $28.50 and was charged $89.12. I disputed the charge immediately with lyft but they were of no help in resolving the issue. I have attached the original charge and then additional screen shots for the same trip. Nothing is even close to the $89 charged to me. I would have never paid or agreed to pay that amount for a 20 minute ride. Uber was only $37.

      I am rejecting this response because: the quoted amount was different than the charged amount. If Lyft uses this type of practice it is a typical bait and switch and I will no longer use them. 

      As you can see on the reviews of Lyft on the BBB site, this type of thing happens very often and is a very deceptive practice. I have continued to check prices for the same trip and none of them come even close to what I was charged. This is theft by deception and will not be tolerated.

      I am rejecting this response because:they charged me a fee that was not agreed upon therefore making their terms invalid. This is clearly theft by deception. I have tested the same route over the last week and all of the cost vary between $26 and $44.  Not one time has a cost exceeded that. This is theft.

      I am filing a complaint against Lyft in regards to their poor customer service and refunding my money! As of today 6/1 I have had three encounters and issues I brought to Lyft and customer support did not resolve! When you first have an issue you cannot contact customer support at all! The only page they have is for feedback (Did Lyft make it easy to resolve your issue) NO! I had two unprofessional rides and one ride I was overcharged. I want my money! I refuse to give my money to anyone who does not deserve it! Lyft sent me an email ******************* stating "they don't give refunds." Why not?! Especially under certain circumstances. One being they was aware of a safety issue when I filed a complaint and they stating they will not refund my money?! In addition, I went to their social media to also file a complaint. They verified my Lyft account info ******* and email ******************** just to overall tell me its not much they can do, and I will have to wait for customer service to contact me. Nonetheless, I did hear from customer service from my email ******************* and was very disappointed and dissatisfied with their responses! Utilizing a share ride such as Lyft is bittersweet (on both customers and drivers). Its unfortunate Lyft customer support does not make share ride easier! Especially when a person such as myself is being supportive of Lyft company, and supportive of drivers who works under Lyft.

      Lyft charged me $20 for leaving dusty footprints on the floor of the vehicle that drove me home. I had eaten dinner at a restaurant whose parking lot was under construction and there was no way for me to clean my shoes prior to entering the vehicle. I believe that Lyft and not me as the passenger should be responsible for this expense. I have a 4.9/5 star rating over a 6+ history with Lyft yet they were unwilling to even consider a refund of the $20 cleaning fee. I am reporting this incident not because I cannot afford to pay $20 but because I think it represents a lack of respect for both the drivers and passengers that make Lyfts business model possible.

      I ordered a ride with Lyft. It was supposed to be shared between myself and someone else. We went to go pick them up, and my driver turns to me and asks for the gate code. I said I didnt know since I dont live there. He then tells me to get the **** out of the car because Im costing him money. I tried explaining that we were supposed to pick someone else up, because this isnt my address and he refuses to take me anywhere else. I was left at an unsafe, unfamiliar location. I contacted Lyft about this, and their response was to refund only half the money because he picked me ** in the right location. They then switched their story and said it was because I was charged for the time and distance of the ride I did take, knowing he didnt even go in the right direction. I dont care about the money at this point, as theyve all ready said they wont give the rest back, its about the principle. Because they also informed me that they sent him a final warning that if he gets another complaint, he will be permanently deactivated. So, not only has this apparently happened more than once, theyre going to give him the chance to do it again. Im a woman living in the city. Anything couldve happened to me because of the place I was left in, which I reiterate, wasnt even close to my destination. They didnt seem to care about that in the slightest. I will now urge any person who identifies as a woman to please, not use this ride share service.

      I am rejecting this response because: I do not want your money. I stated this all ready, amongst my other concerns. Of course, thats all you saw as a million dollar corporation. The issues I have that were not monetary is what I want acknowledged. You are okay putting people in potential danger on your platform, and allowing it to continue one more time after multiple complaints. THAT is the issue that I have with you now. The individual who left me in an unsafe area, which, by the way, is against the rules according to the many other drivers I spoke to, should NOT be allowed to continue driving for you. It is absurd that you would give this person another chance to do this again, possibly to someone else less fortunate. A single mother/father/parent with a child, for example. I can see you have no intention of ever taking accountability for the danger this poses by your response. If there were anything more than money on  this companys list of priorities, you would take my words into consideration. One of these days, I fear that someone will be assaulted or WORSE because of this mistake. 

      Sincerely,

      We are in receipt of the consumer rebuttal in BBB complaint case ********. *************************** complaint concerns a ride experience on ****** account.

      Before a user can access the ******************** platform, the user must agree to ********************'s Terms of Service. The Terms of Service appear when the user first signs up with ********************, and the new user must click that the user "accepts" the terms before the user can continue to use the service.

      Our Terms of Service clearly state, "We do not warrant that your use of the Lyft Platform or Services will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, secure, uninterrupted, always available, or error-free, or will meet your requirements."

      Lyft does not compensate for losses incurred by a user outside of the ******************** platform.

      As we have clarified our Terms of Service, we consider this matter resolved.

      I am rejecting this response because: I all ready said I do not want your money. Why do you keep making it about compensation? I am pretty sure my complaint in and of itself says that I am not looking for any kind of compensation. You guys are just an awful company, and I can tell you are just going to go around in circles with me over something I all ready said I was not interested in. All I was looking for, was validation that this was wrong. But no, you could not even do that.

      Sincerely,

      I was accosted by my most recent driver, **********. I was subjected to a dangerous, political, and racially violent tirade that left me feeling terrified. He even said multiple slurs. This is disgusting at any point, but in the wake of the ******* massacre this was beyond inappropriate. Lyft spoke to me and confirmed what he did was against their guidelines, but offered no resolution. The ride was $98 and I expect to be refunded that because of the driver breaking community guidelines and threatening me. By not doing so, Lyft is awarding abusive behavior.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is condoning racism on the platform. Trying to insinuate Ive made a lot of complaints is a lie. You have a racist driver verbally attacking passengers and you think the matter is resolved with an apology? This is a very interesting decision on Lyfts part.
