List of the main requirements for renting a car.
+
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.
Could you please tell what the rental cost is?
+
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.
Which rent car is the ideal choice for rideshare drivers?
+
Find your perfect match with Uber Rent's wide range of vehicle options to suit all tastes. Whether you're drawn to the luxury of a BMW 3 Series, the efficiency of a Ford Fiesta, the versatility of a Jeep Compass or the individuality of a Kia Soul, we have something for everyone. Plus, the Lyft service offers a selection of car models to suit your needs.

Enjoy the freedom to keep your rental for as little or as long as you need. You can return it anytime after seven days, with rental options ranging from one hour to six months. Whatever the length, we offer competitive rates and flexible terms.
Are there any obligations regarding the duration of active service when renting a car for ridesharing?
+
Uber doesn't set specific working hours for rental vehicles. Drivers are free to set their own schedules and decide how long they will use the car for ridesharing. Whether they choose to work part-time or full-time, the duration is completely flexible. On the other hand, Lyft requires drivers to make a minimum of 20 trips per week.

Can I use a rented car for different ridesharing and delivery services?
+
Working with only Uber prevents drivers from branching out into other service sectors, whereas Lyft's FlexDrive rental programme allows drivers to explore alternative delivery or travel services, provided their vehicle meets the specified requirements.
Can you give me the variations of my potential income?
+
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.
