You Can Save Money On NYE Lyft Rides By Taking Advantage Of These Promo Codes

New Year's Eve is right around the corner, which means it's time to get the Champagne ready. If you're anything like me and my friends, you probably pop a bottle at midnight and "cheers" to the new year. If that's the case, you might already be planning who's going to sit out on the booze and be the designated driver of the night. But thanks to Lyft's New Year's Eve 2018 deals, you might not need to. Why? Because Lyft is offering an array of promo codes in various cities throughout the country that'll give you access to safe transportation at your fingertips. If you plan your NYE rides with the company, everyone will be able to raise their glasses when the ball drops.

In order to take advantage of the Lyft promo codes for New Year's Eve, you'll have to make sure you have Lyft downloaded onto your phone. If you're not registered yet, you can download Lyft through the App Store or Google Play (it's free!). If you're not near your phone right now, you can also sign up for the car service on the company's website. After you've entered the required information, you'll be ready to order your Lyft rides on New Year's Eve.

Depending on where you live, the promotion will probably be a little different. However, each promo code will help you score a cheap (and safe) ride home after your midnight festivities. Most of them will help you make it to the party before the fun starts, too.
