I just had a 5 star experience with Lyft so that I could go to a very local bar and enjoy a Long Island Iced Tea My husband did as well so that he could pick up my vehicle I was offered a sign that said "Leave me alone" "Talk about the weather" "Be friendly and conversational" Plus Music your choice No music My (driver's) music Never had that on Uber before!! read more

I had a ride reserved to go back home after Chicago Fire game, IN CHICAGO, we waited for 40 minutes, driver was circling around, texting in Chinese, how crazy is that? very unprofessional, at leas they should have informed us that drivers could not get in the area, instead an app was just saying, 2 minutes, 6 minutes, and we saw driver circling around, Instead of telling us to go to different pick up location, I finally had to cancel it and pay more for taxi, then I deleted LYFT FOREVER read more

Not a good company. Drivers will use AI generated pictures to scam passengers out of money for damages to their vehicle. That the passenger never did. I fought to get money back for a mess I never left in a car. Lyft didn't understand I never had food or drink on my ride. They said they have a picture to prove I made the mess. Luckily I use PayPal for method of payment. I told PayPal my situation. They felt I was scammed. They gave me a full refund immediately. read more

Lyft - Taxis Near Me

Two separate experiences with Lyft. First: their GPS that shows where you are located when reserving your ride is inaccurate. On our trip to downtown Chicago from our house showed the house across the street even after I updated the address. The same issue when I requested a ride from our hotel to a restaurant. The pickup location showed as the next block over. We had to run to catch our ride or get charged extra for wait. Second: The driver to our downtown location drove on the shoulder multiple times in an effort to bypass the backups on the Eisenhower. We were not comfortable with those driving habits. read more

This has become one of the worst companies to work for. The pay is abysmal the bonuses are non existent customer service support is horrible and they don't care about the drivers. read more

Unfortunately they've started to run a clock when running in and out of a convenience store. I got charged nearly $3 more for being inside for 2mins! It's going to cut down on our ability to tip properly. They also have a problem with picking out a ride for a certain price if you want to wait or more if you can't wait yet I end up waiting a lot & still charged for a ride that should've arrived 30mins ago. I can't even contact the company which they do on purpose so you can't dispute anything or get the proper charges for your wait time. Might as well call a cab with meter running! read more

Lyft Kenosha STINKS! I am a Senior with no vehicle trying to get to my doctor's office. I book the car on Wednesday - no problem. I am told the car would be here at Lakeside Towers between 1:35 and 1:50 for my 2:30 appointment - again, no problem. The message confirmed this morning that my ride would be here between 1:35 and 1:50 - cool, no problem. I go out this afternoon at 1:30, to get my ride and look at my phone and suddenly I have a message "Unfortunately we have had to cancel your ride. Please reschedule." WHAT THE F*CK? I will never waste my time with your company again. I have a large family and friends. No one will use LYFT again. read more

I needed a ride to a hospital for an urgent medical procedure and my circle of friends could not assist me. So, the day before I searched around for options and settled on Lyft. Nice and easy online so I put in all my information and got confirmation shortly thereafter. Great, I can breathe easier since I was already anxious about the last-minute procedure. I had scheduled the driver with extra time in case they needed it to find my house. The next morning, I received confirmation from Lyft with the 10-minute timeframe agreed to which came one hour before the driver was to arrive. All good, I jump in the shower. I'm waiting outside 10 minutes before they were to arrive. I get a text. It reads, "Unfortunately we had to cancel your scheduled ride. We've logged the error but please request a new ride." Really! NOW! You couldn't do this yesterday so I could arrange alternate rides? I have to leave in 10 minutes! I ended up having to drive myself creating more stress plus fact that I had to leave my car at the hospital and enlist the help of others who found a person THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW to pick me up afterward with my car still at the hospital. What a disaster, I will never use Lyft again! read more

This is against a as Lyft driver who is rude does not know common curtesy and doesn't know the rules of the road. Do not ride with this person read more

Lyft - Worst Lyft driver obnoxious rude driver - Taxis Near Me

Lyft is fantastic!!!! I will likely never take a Milwaukee cab again!!! Hallelujah! Enter Lyft :) Milwaukee was so challenged interns of taxi service. When you call for one they are either a) rude b) hang up on you c) don't answer d) don't show up e) don't know were the heck they're going, etc. (I once waited for over 30 mins to get picked up at LA FUENTE. It's less than a mile from the American cab company ... He could NOT find us at La Fuente). The cool thing about Lyft is the giant (or small) pink mustaches. Can't miss 'em. The people of Lyft are also 10x nicer and more personable than the general cab driver. It's so convenient to get picked up right from the Lyft app. And the fact that there is no paper money exchanged is Excellent! (Yet another thing sucky taxi drivers give customers a hard time about). This service is truly a great problem-solver in Milwaukee!! The only issues is the whole "drivers are busy" situation and jacking up the prices. I get it. Peak times. I swear I get it. Jacking up the prices, nope. Sorry. Don't get it. Thanks, Lyft! read more

lyft charged me 3 times foir the same fare even tho I wanted to go home and there's no human dept to call and complain or dispute a claim that has multiple charges, never again. long term customer. 8 yrs. read more

OMG! I love this service! SUPER friendly, efficient, clean and affordable! The drivers I've gotten have all been knowledgable about Milwaukee and I love the fist bumps when I get in the car. It's fantastic that I can request a ride through my phone and I know right away if I've gotten paired with a driver. I can even watch them drive to me and know exactly when they are arriving. And NO EXTRA CHARGE for multiple passengers! I got a Lyft with three girlfriends and it didn't cost any more than it would have with just me. Multiple stops are not a problem! Had a driver stop at Walgreens while I picked up a prescription on the way to my friend's house. The driver was totally cool with waiting for me while I ran inside. I learn something new from every ride I get. Found a new screen printer for my sports club and a videographer for a kickstarter campaign I'm working on through Lyft!! I will never use a taxi or private car service again. Fo the cost, Lyft is WAY cheaper than valet or event parking prices and my time is worth more than what it would take to find a place to leave my car at Summerfest or other events around town. Love that I don't have to worry about finding a way home after a night on the town, because Lyft is on my phone and I don't have to have cash on hand to get a ride. Wondering if this is going to be the new "morning after" mode of transport. For how affordable and easy it is to get a ride, I'll bet the "Walk of Shame" is quickly going to become the "Lyft of Shame". Nothing like a bottle of water and some treats from your driver to make a person feel like the decisions they made last night weren't ALL bad. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! read more

I am not sure that I can say anything that has not already been said, but I know the importance of writing good/bad reviews. I mean, hey, that's the day in age that we live in. If there aren't testimonials, no one thinks twice about giving it a try. They want to know what they getting into before jumping in. And I get it, because I am one of those people. I had heard about this service months ago when they were looking for new drivers and now Lyft is everywhere! I used Lyft for the first time when hanging out with some friends one night. We decided that it would be better if rode a "taxi" instead of driving because there was severely limited parking at our destination. I mean, I was impressed by how we were able to see the driver's picture and vehicle that was going to pick us up as well as how we could track how far away the driver was. This gave me a sense of security because I have these details. Our driver was very nice and kept the conversation going the entire duration of the ride. There was never a dull moment where we stared into space. Since I felt good about the first time, I decided to try it out on my own since I had 2 free rides to use before the end of the month. I was even more impressed this time because my drivers were amazing! They arrived on time, their cars were clean, the conversation was friendly and upbeat, and it really did feel like our friend picking us up and dropping us off. And the fact that I did not have to have cash or debit/credit card on hand really made it convenient. And I am all about convenience. When I say that the drivers go the extra mile, I mean it. One driver got out of the car and held his umbrella over me while walking me to the door since I had forgotten my umbrella. Another driver gave us water and another Starbursts. I am sorry, but I will probably never ride another taxi again because of this 5 star service that I received from Lyft. As a side note, I have heard that Lyft really take their customer reviews seriously. So please, when you write a review, please be objective and honest. read more

Super easy to use through an app on my phone. All you do is hit a button and within seconds you're paired with a driver. You can see their picture, a picture of their car, and track their progress to you real-time in the app's map. It texts you once the driver arrives and you can call them through a scrambled number in the app in case you can't find them. So easy, really cheap, no charge for extra people in the car like taxis. Fun people, music, candy, everything. Cars so far are clean and in good working condition. I really love the opportunity to use this service when I go places like the 3rd ward where parking is a nightmare and I'd be paying for it anyway. I also use it sometimes when I want to go on a long run and not loop back. It's nice to have a ride home waiting at the touch of a button :-D read more

Holy cow! I have used Lyft 7 or 8 times now and it has been truly amazing. -they show up exactly when you expect them to, usually in 15 minutes or less -WAY cheaper than a cab -cheaper than uber -lots of them have snacks and bottled water (great for those rides home at bar time). -super fun drivers. If you haven't checked this service out, give it a shot, be safe, tell them Fillmore Carp sent you. read more

It's awesome. You never get put on hold, just hit "request Lyft". You don't even have to know where you are, the GPS takes care of it and brings them to you. You don't have to have cash or even have your credit card with you. Everything's stored in the system so your ride involves no exchange of money. You get picked up in a clean car by a friendly driver. If it's bar time they'll almost certainly offer you a bottle of water and probably even a snack. I've learned that many Lyft drivers double as Uber drivers so you may or may not see the pink moustache on the car that picks you up, but there's still no doubt about which ride is yours since you know the make/model of the car coming to get you and have a picture of the driver. Like Pamela, I'll never take a traditional cab again. read more

Lyft rocks! I've been using this ever since the Matriphony Yelp party during the summer when Peter was there representing Lyft MKE. The cars are always clean, drivers always nice, and the app is so easy to use. It truly makes ordering a Lyft super easy. Most drivers are only a few minutes away, they show you the driver's face and the car so you know what to look for. Definitely a ton better than battling for a cab. read more

I had a terrible, shocking experience with Lyft, when a young driver ran through a red traffic light. He was several yards away, then he speeded up and ran through the red light. I never used the service again after that bad experience. I believe the service, cars, and drivers need to be regulated like the yellow cab service, and all the drivers need to be subjected to thorough background checks. read more

Lyft! Where do I begin? Hmm well let's start with the fact that EVERY driver I've had the pleasure of having was amazing! Now let's talk about functionality... yep, it's that simple to use! It's almost like they took the simplest thing in the world to do, and made it even easier! I just cannot get over the concept. It's genius, simple and soooooo cool. Thank you lyft for doing what Milwaukee cabs and cabs elsewhere just can't seem to grasp. That my friends, is making customer service priority. Doesn't hurt that you're do it in a stylish way either. Welcome to Milwaukee Lyft, stay a while and keep rocking the streets! read more

Lyft - Taxis Near Me

(before the pick up) So far my review is a 2. I got several promo codes at Yelp events for free rides. When I enter them it says "not available in my area?" or for first time customers only. I contacted Lyft Mke and they said I must have requested a ride which I have not. Tonight will be my first time riding with them. I am beyond frustrated. Let's hope my ride goes better. Lyft Mke got back to me tonight and said promo codes are temporarily suspended in this area WTF? ( the ride) We requested a ride at 10:30Pm and even though the App had a driver coming and he called me and said he was 2 minutes away, he didn't get to us for 20 minutes. My kids were freezing as well as myself. The driver was really nice and the car was clean. It cost us under $11.00 to get from downtown. Which was good for a cab. You are allowed to have up to four people in a car but it was pretty tight with myself in the front and my two daughters in the back seat. I was going to raise my review up to a 3 because our driver did put a good effort into getting us home fast. However, I was really kinda upset at the length of time it took to pick us up and the fact these promo cards I have gotten at events, are useless. My driver did give me a coupon for a competitor which I thought was strange. Hopefully that one will work. read more

After years of being snubbed by taxis, or being forced to get cash because they wouldn't take credit cards, I was an early and fervent fan of Lyft. But they are deteriorating rapidly. My last ride was a new low. The driver couldn't see me standing in front of my house with my luggage instead waiting two houses down. The addresses are clearly marked on the outside of all of our houses and it was broad daylight. She drove two blocks in the wrong direction before getting on the on ramp, and then couldn't find the Milwaukee Mitchell Airport. She admitted she went the wrong way earlier, also upsetting her airport bound passenger. She blamed GPS when she clearly put in the wrong address, and wouldn't correct it when I told her how to put in the right address for flight departures. She couldn't help with the luggage, and couldn't pull up to the curb at the airport instead stopping in the middle of the access road between baggage and departures. She had to ask if I wanted to be dropped off on the baggage side, when I told her I had a flight to catch. I am usually sympathetic to people new on any job, but she should have learned the first time she couldn't find the airport, and I'm pretty good at teaching and training but she would not listen to me explain how to use GPS. read more

The best service in the city for getting around. Always use Lyft and keep up the nice job of supporting a long needed business in Milwaukee. The bus is nice too and I always carry a card in my wallet. Lyft drivers will always transport me to and from all airports especially from ORD in Chicago to MKE or my home on the Eastside. read more

I am extremely irritated!! I have been utilizing Lyft for years and it used to be very reliable and a pleasant experience. Lately it has been awful. I set up Lyft rides based on the time I have to be somewhere, and generally to arrive 5-10 minutes early. Lately, the driver changes multiple times, which makes me 5-10 minutes later than I was initially supposed to get somewhere. It's like waiting for a bus that's running late more so than conveniently jumping into a car to get where I/we need to go. My driver told me that this is basically for the benefit of the drivers. It is a big inconvenience for the customers though. I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for a car --- instead of waiting 8 minutes, I waited 18 min. The driver told me that the ride probably calibrated to him because he was dropping somebody off at D&B's. But, the last driver who was assigned to me was at D&B's and would have been here 8 minutes before him. He said maybe there was somebody who needed to be picked up in Waukesha, so they sent the driver that was 2 minutes from me to the further location so they don't have to wait so long for a driver. My driver changed 4 times and they were always 2-3 minutes away when they changed the driver. The driver that actually showed up was 10 minutes away... why not have the person that was 2 minutes away take me home and have the other driver pickup the other person.. I was obviously in the queue first because she was assigned to be my driver. It is just extremely frustrating!! There has to be another way to do this. Hopefully, somebody comes out with another ride option, other than Lyft and Uber, where they put the customer first because I would prefer to ride with that company so I can get to where I need to go when I need to get there. I thought that was the point of Lyft, but it seems like they have changed their focus away from customer experience. read more

I got the same problem twice and tried to send Lyft messages. They used automatic system to say that they will refund the fee I was charged incorrectly as a credit. But they still with draw money from my account. So I requested lyft from amtrak MKE airport to home. It showed driver was 5 mins away would come soon. Then the driver sent me a message that he could not pick me up because someone left phone in his car. I tried to call him but he ignored the phone call. Then he waited until it was over departure time so I was charged for no show fee. It was first time on Jan 23th and today it happened again (Jan 29th) with the SAME DRIVER. How can drivers have that right to treat customers bad way like that???? Customer service number is not working anymore. I tried to send a request but did not get any reply yet. Can I report the driver???? read more

I have had a horrible experience with Uber. Lyft has provided a reliable, safe, and welcoming form of transportation. Lyft drivers give you the option to have music on or no music on, don't talk about their life problems, and give proper estimated times for pick up and drop off. They also do not over charge you for rides you don't take. I strongly suggest this service over Uber. read more

We stayed in Sheboygan this weekend for the 3 Sheeps Anniversary. We tried to get ahold of a Lyft for 15 minutes with no luck. We resorted to our Uber service and found someone right away. We were unable to even use the discount code for first time riders due to the lack of drivers. Set it up Lyft! You totally let us down! read more

I was using Lyft 2-3 times weekly. I loved the service until I had a crazy drug addled driver, and asked for a refund, 8 days later, 5 customer service reps, 3 corporate emails and no refund. Yet Lyft keeps insisting they have refunded to my account which they have not. I have filed a Better Business Bureau complaint. read more

Lyft was fantastic and the drivers are always so friendly. I love that they invite to sit in the front with them and share food.

No complaints at all here in Milwaukee. Fast and friendly service. Glad it worked well in Milwaukee.

Lyft is awesome! Every time I've used this ride service I've had friendly, average Joe drivers who had immaculate clean cars and drove me safely to my destination. I feel good about using this service. It turns out one of the drivers was living in my hood. I'd recommend it to anyone! read more

I continue to give lyft a chance and every time I try it the drivers cancel. Today I am on driver number four...fingers crossed. I understand I am far away and I understand driver doesn't know how far until he accepts the ride request. Honestly I don't care... I need a ride and I am using an app that is designated for giving people a ride. Sometimes drivers need to take the good and the bad....when I have used Uber I have never ...repeat never had a driver cancel read more

This is a great service being offered in Milwaukee now. The level of cab service in town made me avoid them completely.

Lyft Rocks!!! I've taken a dozen Lyfts, and have to say that to put taxis and Lyft in the same category, would be a sin! This is exactly what Milwaukee needed! Gone are the days of overpriced taxis, and dingy, dark, disgusting backseats (with the leftovers from whom ever was there last). Now is the time of fuzzy mustaches, fistbumps, and CANDY read more

I used to drive to the bars on Sunday, Funday....Severely cut back on how much fun and drink I could have. Milwaukee cabs are completely unreliable, stinky, and foreign drivers are nasty. Lyft lets me party for 1/3 the cost too. Great service! read more

Perfect when I need to run errands like going to the grocery store, pick up my meds, or see the doctor while my car is in the shop. Way cheaper then renting a car or getting a taxi. Many times the drivers offer snacks. read more

Requested a lyft ride on 2/12 11pm--driver showed up and he was great! when it came time to pay however--promo code for $25.00 off first ride would not work!--after some work the code was applied! Thanks for making it right! Will recommend and definetily use again! read more
