Last week we launched our airport ride service in Austin and received a Texas-sized welcome.
That same week, some pretty weird stuff was happening:
The departure of certain on-demand, ride-sharing services left a ton of Austin riders stranded and a lot of drivers out of work. To help out, we’ve expedited our Austin beta launch of WingzAround, the private car service for around town and beyond.
Just like our airport ride service, WingzAround takes the stress out of getting to and from wherever you need to go—a concert, business meeting, sporting event, doctor’s appointment, or special event.
With advanced booking, flat-rate pricing, and trusted drivers, you can rest easy knowing a friendly driver will be waiting for you… not the other way around. And, once you ride with Wingz, you can request your favorite driver for a more personal experience.
3 easy steps to book your WingzAround ride (During Beta Only)
In a few weeks, you’ll be able to book directly in our app.
- Send us a ride request message through WingzAround page on our website or on Facebook messenger.
- We will ask you for all your ride details.
- You’ll receive a confirmation along with a set price quote for your approval.
Wingz Tip: Please book as far in advance as possible (at least 2 hours before pickup time. 24 – 48 hours in advance is even better.)
Just to be uber-clear: Wingz is booked in advance, not on-demand. The reason is simple—advanced booking takes the stress out of wondering if a driver will be available when you need it.
And to really lyft your spirits: Wingz has flat-rate pricing so you always know the price before you go. We send you a quote for your approval and that’s exactly the price you’ll pay. And it’s way less expensive than a town car. While we’re happy to drive you shorter distances, WingzAround does have a $15 minimum.
Now sit back and get ready to enjoy the ride!
