Lyft’s new “Price Lock” service helps you avoid surge pricing.

The $2.99 monthly subscription service lets riders lock in a fixed price during peak hours, which Lyft claims can save members up to $40 a month. You’ll pay less if the ride ends up being cheaper than the locked-in price.

You can sign up by clicking “Price lock” in the menu section of the Lyft app.
