To meet the requirements to rent a car for Uber and Lyft services, individuals must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have between one and three years of driving experience. Background checks, including assessments of driving records and criminal backgrounds, are carried out by both Uber and Lyft. In addition, rental programmes may have their own screening processes. It is essential that you follow these requirements and make sure that you meet the specific criteria set by Uber, Lyft, or your chosen rental program.
Can you tell me the rental price?

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.

How long can I rent a car?

Are there specific guidelines regarding minimum hours of operation when renting a vehicle 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.

Can I use a rented car for different ridesharing and delivery services?

If you take a car through Uber, it isn’t possible to work in other services. At Lyft, when renting through FlexDrive, drivers have the opportunity to work in other delivery or travel services. The main thing is that the car meets the 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.
