What do you need to rent a car?
+
To qualify to rent a car with Uber and Lyft, individuals must meet several criteria: they must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have between one and three years' driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft conduct background checks on potential drivers, which include examining their driving records and criminal backgrounds. In addition, for-hire programmes may have their own screening procedures. It is important to meet these requirements and make sure you qualify under the specific criteria outlined by Uber, Lyft, or your chosen rental program.
How much does it cost to rent?
+
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.

+

With a diverse range of options available, you can filter your search results by car size and discover a variety of vehicles, including the BMW 3 Series, Ford Fiesta, Jeep Compass, Kia Soul, and many others.

This wide selection ensures that you can choose a vehicle that aligns with your preferences and requirements, providing you with a comfortable and enjoyable rental experience.

Are there requirements for the number of working hours when you rent 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.

Is it possible to use a rented car for different ridesharing and delivery services?
+
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 with Lyft is an excellent opportunity to earn money. When passengers complete their ride, they conveniently pay through the Lyft app. Drivers receive a portion of the ride fees from passengers, and their earnings are automatically deposited into their accounts weekly.
Earnings depend on how many hours you work, what city you are in, and what hours you work. During peak hours, it is possible to get bonuses. On average, drivers can earn from 2 000 dollars, working for 1 service.
