**request for AWD?
Hi,
My subdivision has a lot of snow and regular 2WD cars sometimes get stuck. Can I request an AWD from Lyft or Uber? I need a ride tomorrow.

Yes, there is UberSUV but this tends to be a luxury high-end SUV option so it is likely going to be much more expensive, and may not be available in every area.

There's no way to request AWD, but if you use UberXL or UberSUV you're likely to at least get a vehicle with taller ground clearance, which for purposes of getting stuck in a suburban subdivision is usually more important than the number of wheels that are powered.
