Over the last few years, I've ended up with a couple of Lyft drivers who were really good, and who were local to me. We then arranged going forward to simply call/text when I needed a ride and if they were available they would do it. With the latest, we settled on a home-to airport rate of about 2/3 of what Lyft typically charges, which still gives him more than he would retain if it were a Lyft ride.
