What a Lyft rental costs, country by country
Same number, same window, different country. The per-day column divides each rental by the days it covers, which is the figure to compare when you are deciding between a short window and a long one.
| Country | 1 day | 3 days | 7 days | Per day | Rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rent in UK | $0.55 | $0.95 | $1.76 | $0.25 over 7 days | Rent |
| Cote D’Ivoire | $0.57 | $4.46 | $6.56 | $0.57 over 1 days | Rent |
| Rent in East Timor | $0.57 | $4.46 | $6.56 | $0.57 over 1 days | Rent |
| Rent in USA | $0.60 | $1.05 | $1.95 | $0.28 over 7 days | Rent |
| Rent in Brazil | $2.28 | $3.99 | $7.41 | $1.06 over 7 days | Rent |
| Rent in Germany | $5.20 | $9.10 | $16.91 | $2.42 over 7 days | Rent |
Prices are per rental, in USD, and come from the live rental catalogue — they move with supply, so treat the table as today’s rate rather than a fixed price list. The cheapest way to hold a Lyft number right now is UK over 7 days, at $0.25.
How renting a Lyft number works
Four steps, and the window only starts at step three.
Pick the country
Choose from the table above. If the Lyft account already exists, match the country it was created in.
Pick the window
1 day, 3 days or 7 days. Longer windows cost less per day, so pick for how long you actually need the number.
The number is reserved
It appears in your dashboard and is held for you until the window ends. Nobody else receives its messages while you hold it.
Read codes as they arrive
Every Lyft message sent to it shows up in the dashboard, as many times as you need during the window.
Rent it, or just take one code?
Renting costs more than a single activation, and it is the wrong choice for a one-off signup. Here is when each one is the right call.
Rent a Lyft number
The same number, held for 1 day, 3 days or 7 days, taking as many Lyft codes as arrive. Pick this when the account has to survive — you will be signing in again, re-verifying, or recovering it later.
From $0.55 for 1 day.
A temporary Lyft number
One private number for one code and a few minutes, then it is gone. Pick this for a signup you do not need to get back into.
A free Lyft number
The shared public pool. Free, but everyone can read it, so it is for throwaway testing and nothing that belongs to you.
One Lyft verification
A single activation on a private number: one code, one account, no window to manage. The cheapest way to get through Lyft signup once.
Questions about Lyft rentals
How long can I rent a Lyft number for?
1 day, 3 days or 7 days. The window starts when the rental is created, and the number is reserved for you until it ends — it is not shared with anyone else while you hold it.
Can I receive more than one Lyft code on it?
Yes. That is the difference between renting and a one-off activation. A rental keeps accepting Lyft messages for the whole window, so you can sign in again, re-verify, or recover the account without buying another number.
Is it the same number for the whole rental?
Yes. The number does not rotate during the window. If you need the same number again after it expires you rent it again, and whether that exact line is still free depends on supply at the time.
Which country should I rent in?
UK is the cheapest in the table above at $0.55 for 1 day, but price is not the only thing to weigh: some services treat a number from the country the account was created in differently. If the account already exists, match its country.
What happens when the window ends?
The rental stops and the number goes back to the pool. Anything sent to it after that does not reach your dashboard, so move any account you still need off it before the window closes.
How is this different from a temporary number?
A temporary number is for one code and a few minutes. A rental is for days, takes as many Lyft codes as arrive, and stays the same number throughout. Rent when the account has to survive; take a temporary number when it does not.
