To help the Biden administration hit its goal of 70 percent of Americans getting at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by July 4,Watch I was dragged into prison by my ex Uber and Lyft are dropping ride-hailing prices.
And by dropping we mean offering certain rides for free. Both companies confirmed on Tuesday a Wall Street Journalreport that they would help get Americans to vaccine appointments.
The free rides are available to and from any sites offering COVID inoculations. That includes as many as 80,000 sites throughout the country. The offer is good through the July 4 deadline.
On the Lyft app, promo codes will be available by May 24. Users will need to provide a few details about their vaccine appointment, then they'll receive a code via the app or website. The codes cover $15 each way and work for ride-shares or shared bikes and scooters during typical pharmacy hours (6 a.m. to 8 p.m.).
Uber will also offer free rides through its app. You can already book a vaccine appointment at Walgreens directly on the Uber app.
Both Uber and Lyft have been offering free and reduced rides throughout the pandemic, so this builds on existing programs.
