What are the requirements for hiring a car?
+
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.
What is the rental price?
+
The standard rate for Lyft and Uber car rentals is $260 per week, not including tax, with the final cost subject to change depending on local tax rates and the length of the rental.
What is the greatest rent vehicle selection for ridesharing services?
+
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.
Is it possible to rent a car without a deposit?
+
Weekly rentals from Hertz are required to pay a $200 refundable security deposit, while Avis rentals do not require a deposit.
For what period can you rent a car?
+
You're free to extend your rental beyond the initial seven days and return whenever it suits you. Our rental options start from as little as one hour, but a daily rate applies. Alternatively, if you need a car for a longer period, you can book for up to six months.
Are there any rules regarding the amount of time one must drive when renting a car for ridesharing?
+
Uber does not have specific limits on the number of hours you can work in a car for hire. Rideshare drivers have the freedom to set their own schedules and decide how long they use the car for driving. The rental period is flexible and based on individual preferences, whether you choose to drive part-time or full-time. Meanwhile, Lyft requires a minimum of 20 weekly trips for rental vehicles.

Can I use a rented vehicle for more than one ridesharing and delivery service?

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.
How much can i earn while working in rideshare companies?

Driving for Lyft is a fantastic earning opportunity. After passengers finish their rides, they conveniently pay through the Lyft app, with drivers receiving a portion of the fare. Earnings are automatically deposited into their accounts on a weekly basis based on factors such as hours worked and location, including potential bonuses during peak hours. On average, drivers can earn around $2,000 per trip.
