If you have a clean driving history and no criminal record, you may meet the general requirements to be an Uber driver.
Do I Need a Commercial Driver’s License?
For most U.S. cities that Uber operates in, you do not need to possess a commercial driver license (CDL) in order to be an UberX driver (their basic level of service). However, when you begin the application process, you’ll be instructed as to whether your chosen level of driver partner requires a higher class of license.
Uber Vehicle Requirements
Along with the driver requirements, your vehicle will also need to meet certain criteria to be accepted under Uber’s minimum standards.
The vehicle requirements for Uber’s basic services (UberX) include:
Model year 2000 or newer for most cities.
Select cities may have more rigid minimum requirements.
A sedan that can seat at least 4 passengers, excluding you (the driver).
State-issued license plates.

UberXL
UberBlack
UberSelect
UberPlus
UberSUV
UberLUX
These high-end services necessitate additional vehicle requirements to meet Uber’s luxury vehicle standards and professional chauffeur services.
Applying to Be an Uber Driver
Once you and your vehicle have met Uber’s eligibility requirements, you can begin the Uber application process.
When a rider requests an Uber, the driver closest to them automatically receives the trip request—so if that’s you, the notification will pop up on your app.
You’ll accept the trip, and use the navigation to drive to the client’s pick-up location.
The app will charge the rider, so you won’t need to collect any fees during your drive.
When the ride is over, you AND your rider will have the opportunity to rate one another.
Uber will pay you every Thursday through direct deposit.
Uber drivers are paid based upon the number of rides they provide to customers. In order to maintain your Uber partner account, you’ll need to accept 1 trip or more every 30 days or less. If you don’t, you may have to reapply.
