Uber and Lyft are two of the most popular transportation apps available for iOS and Android users. We’ve decided to compare Uber and Lyft to see which will provide you the easiest way to get picked up within minutes. Once you download the Uber app, you will need to create an account. Simply enter in your email address, mobile number and password. Uber needs to collect your mobile number and email address so they can send you ride confirmations and receipts.The next step will be to create an Uber profile. You will need to upload a photo so your driver can identify you when he picks you up at your location. You can either choose to upload a photo or choose an existing photo from your library. To add a credit card to secure your Uber account, all you need to do is take a photo your credit card. You can do that by tapping on ‘scan your card.’ You will then receive a text message from Uber to verify your account. To confirm your number, just reply Go in the text from Uber. One thing I noticed when I first logged into Lyft is that you have the ability to login with your Facebook account or using your mobile number. By logging in with your number, you will need to verify your mobile phone. Lyft will send you a code via text message. Just like Uber, you will then need to complete your profile by uploading an image, entering your first and last name and adding your email address. You will then need to add a credit card. Once you’ve added your credit card, your account is complete. Unlike Uber, Lyft does not offer the convenient credit card scanning functionality.
