To meet the eligibility criteria for renting a vehicle to operate with Uber and Lyft, individuals must be at least 25 years of age, have a valid driver's licence, and have one to three years of driving experience. Background checks, which include driving history and criminal record checks, are undertaken by both Uber and Lyft. In addition, car hire programmes may administer their own screening protocols. It is important to meet these requirements and make sure you meet the specific standards set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program of your choice.

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.
