Des Moines

Does your vehicle qualify to drive with Uber? Most four-door cars do, but requirements vary by vehicle option.

Minimum requirements

Uber accepts both official and temporary registration documents. The vehicle does not need to be registered in your name to qualify.

All partners must have proof of valid personal Insurance. This must list the vehicle and the driver's name on the policy.

In addition, Uber maintains automobile liability insurance on behalf of all U.S. partners.

Most newer cars qualify to drive with uberX, the most popular vehicle option for riders.
