What do I need in order to rent a car?
+
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.
Could you please tell what the rental cost is?

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.

Find your perfect match with Uber Rent's wide range of vehicle options to suit all tastes.

Plus, the Lyft service offers a selection of car models to suit your needs.
Is there a possibility to rent a car without paying a deposit?
+
The required deposit amount for renting a vehicle depends on the vehicle partner. When you choose to rent with Hertz weekly, a refundable security deposit of $200 is applicable. However, when renting with Avis, there is no deposit requirement.
For what period can you 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 obligations regarding the duration of active service when renting a car for ridesharing?
+
Uber doesn't set specific hours for the use of a rented vehicle. Drivers have the flexibility to set their own schedules and decide how long they use the rented vehicle for ridesharing. Whether driving part-time or full-time, the duration can be adapted to individual preferences. In comparison, Lyft requires drivers to make a minimum of 20 trips per week.

Is it possible to use a rented vehicle for multiple rideshare and delivery services?
+
While driving for Uber ties individuals to its platform, Lyft's FlexDrive programme offers drivers the flexibility to pursue alternative delivery or travel services, as long as their vehicle meets the required criteria.
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.
