What do I need in order to rent a car?
+
To rent a car for Uber and Lyft services, you need to be at least 25 years old, hold a valid driver's license, and have a minimum of one to three years of driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft conduct background checks on drivers, which involve reviewing driving records and criminal histories. Additionally, rental programs may have their own screening processes. It's important to comply with these requirements and ensure you meet the specific criteria set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program you choose.
How much does it cost to rent?
+
The weekly price for Lyft and Uber car rental services is $260 before tax, although the final cost may vary depending on local tax rates and the length of the rental.

Driving for Lyft is a fantastic earning opportunity. After passengers finish their rides, they conveniently pay through the Lyft app, with drivers receiving a portion of the fare. Earnings are automatically deposited into their accounts on a weekly basis based on factors such as hours worked and location, including potential bonuses during peak hours. On average, drivers can earn around $2,000 per trip.
