First time using Lyft/uber question.

After you request a ride will the driver text you, or do they always call. I would prefer text as coming from Canada, and don't want outrageous roaming chgs.

 

Usually not. When you request a ride, a small pic of the driver and their car appears on your phone. The app also shows you the location of the driver's car and you can watch their car's progress as they approach you. As long as you are standing in the pickup location, they will usually just pull right up. The only time I have received calls is when there is a problem or if the driver beats me to the pickup location

 

Ok, that sounds great, thanks!
