What do you need to rent a car?
+
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.
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.
Which car is better to rent for work?
+
Uber Rent has a wide range of vehicles to make sure there's something for everyone. From the sophistication of a BMW 3 Series to the compactness of a Ford Fiesta, or the adventurous spirit of a Jeep Compass to the uniqueness of a Kia Soul, our diverse range has something for everyone. Similarly, the Lyft service offers a variety of car models to suit your preferences.
Is it possible to rent a car without a deposit?
+
Hertz weekly rentals require a $200 refundable security deposit, whereas Avis does not.
For what period can you rent a car?
+
You're free to extend your rental beyond the initial seven days and return whenever it suits you. Our rental options start from as little as one hour, but a daily rate applies. Alternatively, if you need a car for a longer period, you can book for up to six months.
Are there any rules regarding the amount of time one must drive when renting a car for ridesharing?
+
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 I use a rented vehicle for more than one ridesharing and delivery service?
+
Choosing Uber as a primary service tends to limit drivers to the Uber platform, while choosing Lyft's FlexDrive rental opens up opportunities for drivers to undertake various delivery or travel services, provided their vehicle meets the required standards.
How much can i earn while working in rideshare companies?
+
Driving for Lyft is a great way to start making money. When passengers finish their rides, they pay through the Lyft app, and drivers receive a portion of the fees, which are deposited into their accounts weekly. Earnings depend on a number of factors, including hours worked and location, with possible bonuses during peak hours. Typically, drivers can earn around $2,000 per service.
