Does your vehicles meet with the requirements to be a Uber driver?

The most common question we have been asked "Will my vehicle meet the requirements to be a Uber driver?" If you are interested and being a Uber driver, but would like to know if your own vehicle can be used, the first and foremost thing for you to do would be to review all of the requirements to know if your vehicle would meet with the requirements, all of the requirements under the specific type of Uber driver you are interested in would have to be met. If your vehicles appears to qualify under one of the driver types the next thing to do is to follow the referral link and apply.

Most of the requirements of a Uber driver are compiled below. It also includes some example cars to give a better understanding of what our requirements mean. Each of the Uber markets requirements would vary a little and can change without notice. Also, the final decision on hiring is entirely up to our company.

This is meant to be a guide in the requirements of an Uber driver and an Uber drivers vehicle requirements. If interested in driving for Uber and you feel your vehicle qualifies, the next step is for you to apply. It doesn't take long for you to find out.

Requirements of the Uber driver.

The general requirements of a Uber vehicle. These requirements are consistent with all of the Uber Services:
  • The vehicle used for the Uber driving services must at least ten years of age or newer (the year 2006 model). (SEE THE EXCEPTIONS BELOW)
  • The vehicle used for the Uber driving services must be a four door minivan or truck and may be a Manual or Standard transmission.
  • Appearance should not contain any major damage.
  • The vehicles automobile insurance must contain the drivers full name.
  • All drivers of the Uber driving services must pass a routing background check. (SEE HERE)

Restrictions of a Uber driver's vehicle.

The following vehicles do not qualify for any of the Uber driving services:
  • Full size van's, such as the Ford E series, Ford Tranzit, and the GMC Savana cannot drive for Uber.
  • Vehicles that have been previously marked, such as a taxis.
  • No rebuilt or salvaged vehicles, a vehicle cannot have a salvage title.

Should the vehicle qualify for more than one of the services we offer, you will receive ride requests from both (All)?

An Uber XL driver is apt to receive requests for both, the Uber X and the Uber XL riders due to a default unless Uber has been previously asked by the driver not to send the XL requests. The Uber XL's pay rate is higher than that of the Uber X although, the rider demand is exceptionally lower. And that is the reason that most Uber X drivers will choose to except both. The same thing occurs with the Uber Select and the Uber X, Select will receive the Uber X unless you request not to receive them.

How do I know for sure if my car qualifies or not?

One sure fire way of knowing whether or not your vehicles qualifies would be to apply for the position of one of the Uber drivers. Once you have provided the needed information regarding your vehicle Uber will take it a step further and let you know if there is any point in going to the next step. If your vehicle has qualified, Uber will let you know that you will need to go ahead and get your vehicle inspection taken care of.

If you pass your vehicle inspection and you also pass your background check you will then be cleared to drive for the Uber chauffeur Services.

Step 1. Remove the tiny fragments with your Stanley 28-100 Mini-razor blade scraper by scraping over the windshield.

Step 2. Screw the resin collector into the center ring. You can still adjust the center ring by moving the suction cups into a better position. Go inside the car and make sure the resin collector is directly centered in the middle of the crack. Now screw the resin collector all the way to down to be flush with the windshield. Make sure it is touching but is not too tight. Tightening too much could cause more damage may disalign the collector.

Step 3. Squeeze out about 4-6 drops of the resin (Could be more or less depending on the size of your crack or chip) into the collector. If resin starts to leak out gently turn the collector clockwise in order to stop leakage.

Step 4. Screw the pressure tube into the resin collector clockwise (remember that old saying "righty tighty, lefty loosy") to push the resin into the crack or chip. Keep tightening until the pressure tube is all the way screwed in but not too tight. Check from the inside of the car again to make sure that the resin collector opened up all the way. You should see where all the resin has entered the crack. Make sure that it reached all areas of the crack. If it didn't, use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the windshield and make sure the resin seeps in to all areas. Don't use too much heat though. It could cause more damage and take a lot longer to repair. Turn the resin collector all the way in to make sure all the resin has been used. Wait about 5-10 minutes before applying heat after the original application.

Step 5. Remove the pressure tube by unscrewing it to release any air caught in the collector. Now, put the pressure tube back in to remove any air that still is remaining from the break. Look at the glass from multiple angles to find air bubbles that are still caught in the crack. If there is any areas that were not covered by the resin repeat steps 4 and 5 until you receive the desired results.

Step 6. After you remove all the air turn the resin collector and the pressure tube counter clockwise 1/2 turn (to the left). Remove the entire device by lifting up on the suction cups. Clean up any resin that still remains on the collector so it doesn't drip back down on the windshield. Add resin in to any areas that still need fixing and use the curing strips to finish it off. Don't press the strips down too hard, no pressure is need, just lay them gently flush with the windshield.
