With insurance coverage included and maintenance support provided, renting a car for ridesharing allows drivers to focus on their earnings and passenger service while enjoying the convenience and peace of mind that comes with a rented vehicle.

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.

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.
