The entry barriers are lower than with most jobs if you’re looking to drive for Uber or Lyft. Here’s how to properly hit the road with these apps.
- Driving for Lyft and Uber doesn’t require interviews or many hard skills, so there’s a relatively low barrier to entry. You’ll still need to provide valid auto documentation and pass background checks, though.
- Uber and Lyft have slightly different requirements for drivers and vehicles. You’ll generally need at least a year of driving experience and a car in great condition.
- You’ll need to get your car inspected before your app of choice permits you to drive. Depending on your location, you may need to get your car inspected every 4-12 months.
