Consider flexible low-commitment rentals

Drive with Uber without owning a car
Don't have your own car? You can choose one to rent or rent-to-own from our vehicle solutions partners that comes with insurance, unlimited kilometres, basic maintenance and/or other possible options.
Go electric and save on all trips

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Uber's Vehicle Marketplace work?
We launched Uber’s Vehicle Marketplace (VMP) to help driver partners without access to an eligible vehicle find an opportunity to earn with the Uber app, or make it easier for driver partners to access their next vehicle. We’ve partnered with a range of companies including rental, rent-to-own, dealerships and OEMs to improve vehicle access for driver partners. Once you’ve identified the ownership model that best suits your needs, you can inquire directly with the vehicle solutions partner to explore available vehicle options.
- How much does it cost to access a vehicle from the VMP?
The total cost will vary depending on the vehicle and ownership model you choose (e.g. rental, rent-to-own or purchase). All vehicle specific pricing is outlined on the Vehicle Marketplace.
- Do vehicles on the VMP include insurance?
Vehicle inclusions vary based on the vehicle solutions partner and ownership model selected. Most rental and rent-to-own offers come with basic operational inclusions such as insurance and maintenance, for a set number of kilometres per week. Enquire with the provider to confirm specific offer inclusions.
- What do I do after I've obtained a vehicle from the VMP?
Once you have obtained a vehicle from the provider, the vehicle must be added to your Uber profile. In most cases, our vehicle solutions partners can automatically assign the vehicle to your profile. To allow this, you will need to provide your consent to linking your Uber account.
- How much can I earn driving with Uber?
The money you can make driving with the Uber app depends on when, where and how often you go online, as well as other factors (such as whether you participate in any promotions). Learn about earnings, how they’re calculated, how in-app promotions work and more.
