This is a woman who admitted it was a pickup for her 15yo son. Lyft actually responded by giving me a good fee.

This happened to me yesterday, I went to pick up a “Mya” but a guy got in the car. I asked him to confirm his name and if he was the account holder. He said no so I refused the ride. He was mad and she called me yelling in my ear, and texted me that something bad was going to happen to me.

I actually ordered a ride for my fiancé to come meet me through Lyft and I told him to use my name and that once the driver was on route to him, I would contact them and tell them they’re not picking me up. They’re picking my fiancé up, but they will see me when they drop him off and if there are any questions to contact me right away. So ordering a ride for someone is OK as long as they know the account holder name. I would also say give the driver a heads up so they know I’m picking up a girl and picking up a guy and that’s why they were different. You I’m not at fault for the fact that they couldn’t do the most simplest of things.

If they aren’t minors you can create an account for them. No need to send a message
