Select Vagabond Inn Hotels, a respected west coast hotel chain, has partnered with Lyft, the alternative taxi service.

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED STATES - May 22nd, 2014 - A few select Vagabond Inn hotels in prime California markets have teamed up with Lyft, a rideshare service and iPhone or Android app. Lyft is an alternative to calling a taxi and promotes community and friendly service.

By partnering with Lyft, Vagabond Inn is able to provide a great deal to its guests, offering a complimentary first ride worth up to $25 for new Lyft users. All the guests have to do is ask the front desk for the special code and input the code into the app.

Vagabond Inn was excited to team with Lyft, as Lyft is a young up and coming company. It is a great way to reach out to a younger market and use mobile app technology. Lyft also is a very well-liked service with great reviews, much like Vagabond Inn hotels. Typically Lyft is more affordable than taxis as well, which resonates with the “Great Value” of Vagabond Inn.

Lyft works by downloading their app for iPhone or Android, and you get a friendly affordable ride whenever you need one. Just tap a button, and you’ll get picked up by a Lyft driver within minutes. When the ride ends, the app instantly processes payment from your saved credit card. No need to carry cash!
