It is in Scotland & Ireland....but I'm not sure about in England and I don't think so in USA.
In Scotland you would ask "Do you need a lift?" If you ask "Do you want a ride?" and you'll probably get slapped!

In Ireland you get or ask for a "lift". Getting a ride would mean what SilentAnnie said.

Ha...yes...Just last night a Brazilian friend I talk to (thanks to duo) had a date...I asked her how it went and she said "Well, I wanted him..."
I had to quiz her to discover that she really meant "I liked him"....then explain to her.

In Hiberno-English this means "do you want to have sex?". If one wanted to "go from some place to another place" one would ask for "a lift".
