List of the main requirements for renting 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.
Can you tell me the rental price?
+
Lyft and Uber car rental services have a weekly charge of $260 before tax, yet the total spend can vary depending on local tax structures and the length of time the vehicle is rented.
Which rent car is the ideal choice for rideshare drivers?
+
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 there a possibility to rent a car without paying a deposit?
+
The required deposit amount for renting a vehicle depends on the vehicle partner. When you choose to rent with Hertz weekly, a refundable security deposit of $200 is applicable. However, when renting with Avis, there is no deposit requirement.
What car rental periods are available?
+
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.
Do car rental policies for ridesharing services include requirements for working hours?
+
Uber does not have specific requirements for the number of working hours on a rented car. As a rideshare driver, you have the flexibility to choose your own working hours and determine how long you want to use the rented vehicle for ridesharing purposes. The rental duration can vary based on your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer to drive part-time or full-time, choosing working hours on a rented car is ultimately up to you. Also, Lyft service requires you to make 20 trips per week if you rent a car.

Is it possible to use a rented car for different ridesharing and delivery services?

The use of only Uber's platform limits drivers from pursuing other service opportunities, while Lyft's FlexDrive allows FlexDrive renters to explore additional delivery or travel options, provided their vehicle meets the specified requirements.
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.
