List of the main requirements for renting a car.
+
To be eligible to rent a car for Uber and Lyft, candidates must meet certain requirements: they must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have one to three years of driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft do background checks, which include checking driving records and criminal histories. In addition, rental programmes may have their own screening processes. It's important to verify that you meet these requirements and the specific criteria set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program of your choice.

The standard rate for Lyft and Uber car rentals is $260 per week, not including tax, with the final cost subject to change depending on local tax rates and the length of the rental.

Are there any obligations regarding the duration of active service when renting a car for ridesharing?
+
When it comes to working with a rental car for Uber, there are no set time requirements. Rideshare drivers have the flexibility to set their own schedules and the length of time they want to use the vehicle. It's up to the driver to decide whether to drive occasionally or regularly. Conversely, Lyft requires its rideshare drivers to make a minimum of 20 trips per week.

Can I work in various ridesharing and delivery services with a rented car?

Choosing Uber locks drivers into its service without the ability to diversity, unlike Lyft's FlexDrive agreement, which allows drivers to explore different delivery or travel options, as long as their vehicle meets the required standards.
If i have a desire to become a driver, then how much money 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.
