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.
