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.
