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.

What will be 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.
