What do you need to rent a car?

To meet the eligibility criteria for renting a vehicle to operate with Uber and Lyft, individuals must be at least 25 years of age, have a valid driver's licence, and have one to three years of driving experience. Background checks, which include driving history and criminal record checks, are undertaken by both Uber and Lyft. In addition, car hire programmes may administer their own screening protocols. It is important to meet these requirements and make sure you meet the specific standards set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program of your choice.

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.
