Don't worry if you don't own a car. You can still work as a driver because rideshare services have rental options, and the company takes care of the car's maintenance. Alternatively, you can explore opportunities as a motor-courier or bike-courier with companies like UberEats, Instacart, and Doordash.
Which car is the top choice for rideshare drivers?

The specific make and model of the car aren't a big deal. What matters most is that the car is in good shape. In many states, they prefer cars that are less than 10 years old, but this can vary depending on where you're working. Also, the car should not have any major damage, and it must have between 5 to 8 seats and four doors.

New drivers get a bonus when they sign up, and you're guaranteed to get paid in your first month. The amount might change depending on where you work.
What do I need to do to become a driver for both taxi and delivery purposes?
