To be eligible to rent a car for Uber and Lyft, candidates must meet certain requirements: they must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have one to three years of driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft do background checks, which include checking driving records and criminal histories. In addition, rental programmes may have their own screening processes. It's important to verify that you meet these requirements and the specific criteria set by Uber, Lyft, or the rental program of your choice.
Could you please tell what the rental cost is?
+
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.
Which rent car is the ideal choice for rideshare drivers?
+
Uber Rent offers a wide range of vehicles so you're sure to find something to suit your needs. From compact cars like the Ford Fiesta to luxury options like the BMW 3 Series and versatile SUVs like the Jeep Compass or Kia Soul, we have a wide range to suit all tastes. Similarly, the Lyft service offers a range of car models to suit your preferences.

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.

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.
If i have a desire to become a driver, then how much money 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.
