What do you need to rent a car?
+
To qualify to rent a car with Uber and Lyft, individuals must meet several criteria: they must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have between one and three years' driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft conduct background checks on potential drivers, which include examining their driving records and criminal backgrounds. In addition, for-hire programmes may have their own screening procedures. It is important to meet these requirements and make sure you qualify under the specific criteria outlined by Uber, Lyft, or your chosen rental program.
Could you please tell what the rental cost is?
+
Lyft and Uber car rental services cost $260 per week before tax, but the total cost will vary depending on local taxes and how long you want to keep the car.
Which car is better to rent for work?
+
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 needing to pay a deposit?
+
Weekly rentals from Hertz require a $200 refundable security deposit, while Avis rentals do not.
For what period can you rent a car?
+
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?
+
When it comes to working with a rental car for Uber, there are no set time requirements. Rideshare drivers have the flexibility to set their own schedules and the length of time they want to use the vehicle. It's up to the driver to decide whether to drive occasionally or regularly. Conversely, Lyft requires its rideshare drivers to make a minimum of 20 trips per week.
What car rental programs/services are there for driver work?
+
Lyft’s partners are:
- Lyft Express Drive;
- Flexdrive;

Uber’s partners are:

Are insurance and maintenance included in the rental price?
+
Each rental offer available through the Uber vehicle marketplace and Express Drive includes insurance as part of the deal. However, certain partners may offer the option to purchase additional insurance for extra protection, if you prefer.
Is it possible to use a rented car for different ridesharing and delivery services?
+
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.
How much can I earn?
+
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.
