I want to rent a car. What do i need for this rent?
+
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.
Can you tell me the rental price?
+
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.
What are the best rent cars for rideshare companies?
+
Uber Rent has a wide range of vehicles to make sure there's something for everyone. From the sophistication of a BMW 3 Series to the compactness of a Ford Fiesta, or the adventurous spirit of a Jeep Compass to the uniqueness of a Kia Soul, our diverse range has something for everyone. Similarly, the Lyft service offers a variety of car models to suit your preferences.
Can i rent a car without paying a deposit?
+
Hertz weekly rentals are subject to a $200 refundable deposit, while Avis rentals do not require a deposit.
What car rental periods are available?
+
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.
Do car rental policies for ridesharing services include requirements for working hours?
+
There are no fixed time requirements for driving a for-hire vehicle with Uber. Drivers enjoy the autonomy to determine their working hours and the duration of their use of the rented vehicle for ridesharing. Whether they choose to work occasional or regular hours is up to the driver. In contrast, Lyft requires a minimum weekly workload of 20 trips per week.

Insurance is included in every rental offer on the Uber car marketplace and Express Drive. However, some partners may allow you to purchase additional insurance for greater protection if you wish.
Is it possible to use a rented vehicle for multiple rideshare 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 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.
