What You Can Expect From Lyft Rides With GoGo

Before booking Lyft rides for seniors or for people with disabilities, some customers and loved ones like to know more about what they can expect from the GoGo experience. Here’s how it works! First, call GoGo at 1 (855) 464-6872 and Press 6 to book a ride. Our GoGo agents will confirm details with you to make sure you get exactly what you want, when you want it, across any of our on-demand services for seniors.

If you’re looking for Lyft rides for seniors or Lyft rides for people with disabilities, consider using GoGoGrandparent. We go the extra mile to confirm the best way to reach you, adjust the coordinates on our maps to be precisely where you need to be picked up and dropped off, and share with you trip estimates so you are always aware and comfortable with the fare. We then match you to a vehicle and driver in our system that will best suit your needs. For example, we can screen out cars that are too small for your needs, like a Toyota Prius, or vehicles that are too large like a Toyota Tundra. If you prefer to get matched to Lyft drivers exclusively, we can note that in our system. Once your ride is on the way, you’ll receive a call and text confirming details of your trip.

With GoGo, you can book Lyft rides for seniors easily with just a phone call. We can customize your phone menu with preset locations, so you can get where you’re going even faster. If anything changes with your ride, we’ll notify you with updates to keep you informed. If you forgot something in the Lyft ride, we can communicate to the driver. We can also be your advocate on your behalf if you have any disputes. For any of our services, including things like grocery delivery for seniors, meals for seniors, and home services for seniors, GoGo’s one call away.
