What do you need 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 cost of using Lyft and Uber car rental services amounts to $260 per week before tax; however, the final cost may vary due to varying local tax regulations and the duration of the rental.
Which rent car is the ideal choice for rideshare drivers?
+
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?
+
Hertz weekly rentals require a $200 refundable security deposit, whereas Avis does not.
How long can I rent a car?
+
You have the freedom to decide how long you want to keep your rental car. Whether it's for just an hour or up to six months, our flexible rental plans will suit your needs. Return at any time after the initial seven-day period, safe in the knowledge that we offer competitive rates for any length of time.
Are there requirements for the number of working hours when you rent 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.

Every rental offer provided through Uber's Vehicle Marketplace and Express Drive includes insurance coverage as part of the package. However, certain partners may offer the choice to acquire additional insurance for added protection if desired.
Is it possible to use a rented car for different ridesharing 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.
What is the potential income?
+
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.
