You can now permanently delete your Lyft account, unlike previously, where you could only ‘partially delete’ your account with your information remaining intact, should in case you change your mind and decide to reactivate your account down the line. Now, once you select “Delete Account,” you can’t undo the deletion – it’s permanent. You will not be able to restore your Lyft account once you delete it. If you would like to rejoin Lyft again, you will need to create a new account.

Deleting your Lyft account is simple and can be done either through a web browser or the Lyft mobile app. We’ll show you how to delete it on both.
