I want to rent a car. What do i need for this rent?
+
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.
Could you please tell what the rental cost is?
+
Lyft and Uber car rental services cost $260 per week before tax, but the total cost will vary depending on local taxes and how long you want to keep the car.
What type of the rent vehicle is the best for ridesharing?
+
Uber Rent has a wide range of vehicles to make sure there's something for everyone. From the sophistication of a BMW 3 Series to the compactness of a Ford Fiesta, or the adventurous spirit of a Jeep Compass to the uniqueness of a Kia Soul, our diverse range has something for everyone. Similarly, the Lyft service offers a variety of car models to suit your preferences.
Is there a possibility to rent a car without paying a deposit?
+
Weekly rentals from Hertz are required to pay a $200 refundable security deposit, while Avis rentals do not require a deposit.
For which period can I rent a car?
+
Keep your rental car for as long as you like, with the option to return it at any time after the first seven days. Whether you're looking for a short-term solution for just an hour or a vehicle for up to six months, we have flexible rental plans to suit your needs.
Are there any rules regarding the amount of time one must drive when renting a car for ridesharing?
+
Uber does not have specific requirements for the number of working hours on a rented car. As a rideshare driver, you have the flexibility to choose your own working hours and determine how long you want to use the rented vehicle for ridesharing purposes. The rental duration can vary based on your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer to drive part-time or full-time, choosing working hours on a rented car is ultimately up to you. Also, Lyft service requires you to make 20 trips per week if you rent a car.

+
The use of only Uber's platform limits drivers from pursuing other service opportunities, while Lyft's FlexDrive allows FlexDrive renters to explore additional delivery or travel options, 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.
