Lyft has announced that it is testing a new feature to allow customers to order a trip up to 24 hours in advance . They have said it’s more efficient to dispatch cars when riders are ready to use them. So far , unlike traditional taxi firms , on - demand services such as Uber and Lyft have not offered a reservation feature , believing it is efficient to dispatch cars when riders are ready to use them . Recently , however , some independent smartphone apps have allowed users to schedule an Uber pick - up in advance . Lyft is currently testing the feature with customers but plans to offer the service in San Francisco and other cities this summer .
