'place to get a lift?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'look into reason for' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo' ('lo' is an archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'reason' becomes 'ground' (synonyms).
'ground'+'for'='groundfor'
'lo' inserted inside 'groundfor' is 'GROUND-FLOOR'.
