Lyft Launches Car Rentals In LA

Lyft said on Thursday that it has launched a new car rental service in Los Angeles, as part of an expansion of its services. According to Lyft, the new service--which is currently only available in LA and the Bay Area--is aimed at providing a vehicle to people who need to go longer distances. Lyft said it would rent cars for weekend getaways, business trips, and to run errands, all from its app. Lyft said that it will cover rides to and from the rental lot, with door-to-door service, and that vehicles will include Apple Carplay, Android Auto, and phone chargers, as well as free add-ons like ski racks, car seats, and tire chains. Lyft did not say who is providing the rental cars, or if it will be maintaining its own fleet of vehicles for the new service.
