Both Uber and Lyft conduct thorough background checks, which include checking driving records and criminal histories. In addition, car hire schemes may have their own screening procedures. It's important to meet these requirements and be sure you qualify under the specific standards set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program you choose.

Uber Rent gives you access to an incredible range of vehicles, so you're sure to find the perfect one to suit your needs.

How much can I earn?

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.
