Among the people who want to join Uber as a driver, there are many with questions about the type of vehicles they can use for the job or if they can use their car for this. In this article, we will answer these questions and we try to present a detailed report about Uber car requirements.
What you need to keep in mind is that Uber might have slightly different requirements for cars in each city and it’s only Uber that determines if a vehicle is qualified for being used for service.
Different cities have different vehicle options, but the major categories are the same everywhere. For example, Chicago has Uber Cab while Miami features Uber Lux. Most cities do not offer these categories. You will know what your city offers by going to https://www.uber.com/us/en/drive/miami/vehicle-requirements/ for example.
Substitute your city for Miami to see what your city offers specifically. But make sure to sign up through Ride Sharing It as we will keep you updated on the best of the best for savings and rideshare options, whether you are a driver or rider.
General Uber Vehicle Requirements
The following requirements must be met by every vehicle which is being used by Uber drivers:
all vehicles must be up to 15 years old maximum.
It should be a 4-door vehicle with the possibility of transporting 4 passengers.
The title cannot be salvaged, reconstructed, or rebuild.
If it’s a rental vehicle, it should be approved by a Uber lender. Otherwise its not allowed to be used for Uber services.
Vehicles with commercial brandings, taxi paint jobs, cosmetic damages, or missing pieces are not eligible to be used for Uber ride.
If your using a vehicle that you don’t own it yourself, you must be listed as an insured driver on this vehicle’s insurance policy or Uber won’t approve that vehicle.
However, if your vehicle is missing any of the mentioned requirements above, you can still use it for item deliveries on the Uber app.
