How do i get lyft to remove duplicated charges that have already been paid for through hertz car rental?

We suggest reaching out to Lyft support directly to alert them of the issue. They can verify the payments and if any errors were made on Lyft's end, they can process a reversal of the charges. You'll need to include details like the date and time of the transaction, the amount charged, and any receipt or statements from Hertz highlighting the charges in question. Remember, it's important to inform them as soon as you notice the discrepancy for the best chance at a quick resolution.

How can I reschedule without another charge

To reschedule a Lyft ride without an extra charge, you need to cancel the trip before the driver is on their way to pick you up. You can do this in the app by selecting the 'Cancel ride' option after your ride request has been accepted. You won't be charged a cancellation fee if you cancel within the two-minute grace period after requesting a ride. After this, whether or not a cancellation fee is charged will depend on how much time has passed and how close the driver is to the pickup location. If a cancellation charge is applied, it's typically around $5 to $10, but can vary based on location and demand.

Get an estimated cost for a ride?

You can get an estimated cost for your Lyft ride by using the Lyft app. Open the app, enter your pickup and drop-off locations, and you will see the estimated cost for each car service. The estimate is based on the distance, estimated journey time, and current demand for rides in your area. It's important to remember that actual costs can vary due to factors like traffic and changes in your route during the ride. You'll see the final ride cost on your receipt after the ride ends, which includes any added stops or extra time spent in the car.
