To qualify for Uber and Lyft car rental services, individuals must meet certain criteria: they must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have between one and three years of driving experience. 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.

The cost of using Lyft and Uber car rental services amounts to $260 per week before taxes; however, the total amount spent may vary due to varying local tax regulations and the duration of rental.

Uber Rent gives you access to an incredible range of vehicles, so you're sure to find the perfect one to suit your needs. Whether you're interested in the elegance of a BMW 3 Series, the efficiency of a Ford Fiesta, the durability of a Jeep Compass or the uniqueness of a Kia Soul, we've got you covered. The Lyft service also offers a variety of car models to choose from.

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.
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.
