Background checks, which include driving history and criminal record checks, are undertaken by both Uber and Lyft. In addition, car hire programmes may administer their own screening protocols. It is important to meet these requirements and make sure you meet the specific standards set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program of your choice.
