Frequently asked questions

What is the best European alternative to Lyft?
Cabify ranks first of the 3 European alternatives to Lyft in our directory, followed by Heetch and Liftago.
Is Lyft GDPR-compliant?
Lyft, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, so that European taxi network now answers to a US parent. For a US company, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework covers transfers only if Lyft is certified under it; otherwise they need standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment, and US laws such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data either way.
