To meet the requirements to rent a car for Uber and Lyft services, individuals must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have between one and three years of driving experience. Background checks, including assessments of driving records and criminal backgrounds, are carried out by both Uber and Lyft. In addition, rental programmes may have their own screening processes. It is essential that you follow these requirements and make sure that you meet the specific criteria set by Uber, Lyft, or your chosen rental program.
What is the rental price?

The cost of using Lyft and Uber car rental services amounts to $260 per week before taxes; however, the total amount spent may vary due to varying local tax regulations and the duration of rental.

Uber doesn't set specific working hours for rental vehicles. Drivers are free to set their own schedules and decide how long they will use the car for ridesharing. Whether they choose to work part-time or full-time, the duration is completely flexible. On the other hand, Lyft requires drivers to make a minimum of 20 trips per week.

Can you give me the variations of my potential income?

Driving for Lyft is a great way to earn extra money. Passengers pay for their rides using the Lyft app, and drivers receive a portion of the total fare, which is automatically deposited into their account each week. Earnings vary based on factors such as hours worked and location, with potential bonuses during peak hours. On average, drivers can earn around $2,000 per trip.
