Get Ready! SXSW is March 9-18.

The last time Lyft was the official rideshare of SXSW was in 2016. We've grown a lot since then–as has Austin. We're expecting 200% more demand. Take a look at the best times to drive to maximize your earnings.

With thousands of visitors pouring into Austin during SXSW, now's the perfect time to familiarize yourself with picking up and dropping off at Austin-Bergstrom Intl. Airport.

Amp changes color to match your passenger’s Lyft app: This “beaconing” feature is the secret to smoother pickups. Plus, delighted passengers are more likely to leave good reviews and tips.
