Stretch limousines and taxis are not allowed. Furthermore, the vehicle should have seating for five to eight people, including the driver. Lastly, the vehicle must be a four-door model.

Is having your own vehicle always a prerequisite for jobs in driving?

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.
What is the best car for rideshare?
+
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.
How long should I expect the document verification process to take for driver registration?
+
We check your information as quickly as we can. It might take up to 48 hours, but usually, we're done within a day. You won't have to wait long, and if you sign up through the app, it's even faster. Don't waste time; become a part-time driver now!
What can I expect to earn?
+
There's no fixed hourly pay for taxi drivers. They get a part of the money from each ride they do. How much they make depends on how far the passenger goes and where they start. Research tells us that, on average, drivers make around $20 per hour.
How do drivers receive their payments?
+
The driver receives their earnings on their card every week.
What do I need to do to become a driver for both taxi and delivery purposes?
+
With a few services, you get to choose if you want to do taxi driving or deliveries. Take Uber and UberEats as an example. You can register to do both jobs, which can increase how much you make.
How to get support for drivers?
+
Each service has people who are there to assist drivers. You can talk to them in chat or visit hubs, but how you do it depends on which service you're using.
