I want to rent a car. What do i need for this rent?
+
To rent a car for Uber and Lyft services, you need to be at least 25 years old, hold a valid driver's license, and have a minimum of one to three years of driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft conduct background checks on drivers, which involve reviewing driving records and criminal histories. Additionally, rental programs may have their own screening processes. It's important to comply with these requirements and ensure you meet the specific criteria set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program you choose.
What is the rental price?
+
Lyft and Uber car rental services have a weekly charge of $260 before tax, yet the total spend can vary depending on local tax structures and the length of time the vehicle is rented.
What type of the rent vehicle is the best for ridesharing?
+
Uber Rent gives you access to an incredible range of vehicles, so you're sure to find the perfect one to suit your needs. Whether you're interested in the elegance of a BMW 3 Series, the efficiency of a Ford Fiesta, the durability of a Jeep Compass or the uniqueness of a Kia Soul, we've got you covered. The Lyft service also offers a variety of car models to choose from.
Is it possible to rent a car without a deposit?
+
Hertz weekly rentals require a $200 refundable security deposit, whereas Avis does not.
What car rental periods are available?
+
Extend your rental for as long as you need, with the option to return at any time after the initial seven day period. Whether you need a car for an hour or several months, we've got you covered with flexible rental options and competitive rates.
Do car rental policies for ridesharing services include requirements for working hours?
+
There are no fixed time requirements for driving a for-hire vehicle with Uber. Drivers enjoy the autonomy to determine their working hours and the duration of their use of the rented vehicle for ridesharing. Whether they choose to work occasional or regular hours is up to the driver. In contrast, Lyft requires a minimum weekly workload of 20 trips per week.

Insurance is included in every rental offer on the Uber car marketplace and Express Drive. However, some partners may allow you to purchase additional insurance for greater protection if you wish.
Can I work in various ridesharing and delivery services with a rented car?
+
Choosing Uber as a primary service tends to limit drivers to the Uber platform, while choosing Lyft's FlexDrive rental opens up opportunities for drivers to undertake various delivery or travel services, provided their vehicle meets the required standards.
What is the potential income?
+
Driving for Lyft is a great way to earn extra money. Passengers pay for their rides using the Lyft app, and drivers receive a portion of the total fare, which is automatically deposited into their account each week. Earnings vary based on factors such as hours worked and location, with potential bonuses during peak hours. On average, drivers can earn around $2,000 per trip.
