What are the requirements for hiring a car?
+
To qualify to rent a car with Uber and Lyft, individuals must meet several criteria: they must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have between one and three years' driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft conduct background checks on potential drivers, which include examining their driving records and criminal backgrounds. In addition, for-hire programmes may have their own screening procedures. It is important to meet these requirements and make sure you qualify under the specific criteria outlined by Uber, Lyft, or your chosen rental program.
Can you tell me the rental price?
+
Lyft and Uber car rental services have a weekly charge of $260 before tax, yet the total spend can vary depending on local tax structures and the length of time the vehicle is rented.
What is the greatest rent vehicle selection for ridesharing services?
+
Uber Rent offers an extensive selection of vehicles, ensuring you can find the perfect one to suit your needs. With a diverse range of options available, you can filter your search results by car size and discover a variety of vehicles, including the BMW 3 Series, Ford Fiesta, Jeep Compass, Kia Soul, and many others. Lyft service also offers various car models.
This wide selection ensures that you can choose a vehicle that aligns with your preferences and requirements, providing you with a comfortable and enjoyable rental experience.

Keep your rental car for as long as you like, with the option to return it at any time after the first seven days. Whether you're looking for a short-term solution for just an hour or a vehicle for up to six months, we have flexible rental plans to suit your needs.
Do car rental policies for ridesharing services include requirements for working hours?
+
Uber does not have specific requirements for the number of working hours on a rented car. As a rideshare driver, you have the flexibility to choose your own working hours and determine how long you want to use the rented vehicle for ridesharing purposes. The rental duration can vary based on your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer to drive part-time or full-time, choosing working hours on a rented car is ultimately up to you.

Is it possible to use a rented car to participate in different ridesharing and delivery networks?
+
Working with only Uber prevents drivers from branching out into other service sectors, whereas Lyft's FlexDrive rental programme allows drivers to explore alternative delivery or travel services, provided their vehicle meets the specified requirements.
Can you give me the variations of my potential income?
+
Driving for Lyft is a fantastic earning opportunity. After passengers finish their rides, they conveniently pay through the Lyft app, with drivers receiving a portion of the fare. Earnings are automatically deposited into their accounts on a weekly basis based on factors such as hours worked and location, including potential bonuses during peak hours. On average, drivers can earn around $2,000 per trip.
