BEWARE OF DOING BUSINESS WITH LYFT!
April 17,2023, 12.10 a.m. at St Louis airport, I ordered an upgraded Lyft ride that was supposed to arrived in 2 minutes, according to the app, to get to my hotel quickly. The ride came 5-10 minutes late. When the driver stayed in the car without volunteering to help me to put my baggage in the trunk, I asked him to step out of the car and help me. I could see he wasn't happy about my request. Inside the car was filthy and he had a very loud music on throughout the entire ride, without asking whether I was ok with such loud music. I didn't complain since I was afraid to make him more upset. I didn't feel safe with him. The day after my ride I received a notice from Lyft that I was charged $80 damage fee since the driver had claimed I scratched his car and the fee was for him to clean up his car. Since the accusation is not at all true I reached out to Lyft customer service to dispute the charge. The only way of contacting Lyft customer service is through text message or email. I am frankly not sure whether I communicate with a robot or a human being since they keep repeating that they won't adjust the damage fee payment without directly answer my questions. I have asked to talk to a manager but no one has contacted me so far. I have reach out to them six times through text and email communications. I have asked them to share with me evidence that shows I scratched the care. They responded that their decision was based on the driver's anecdote. I feel robbed and feel powerless for they don't care. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH LYFT.
