Lyft car requirements.

As with Uber X year requirements, there are some exceptions: In Seattle, Portland, Washington D.C. or Minneapolis-S Paul, local government regulations mean that Lyft year requirements in these areas are stricter – no vehicles over 10 years’ old. In Pittsburgh the limit is 8 years.

  • Licensing – Current registration, with in-state plates.

  • Tires – The tires on your vehicle need to have sufficient tread. Lyft requires you to perform the Penny Test on each one and send photographic evidence before they will approve your car.

  • Windows – You need to have functional windows on all doors and a windshield with no big cracks anywhere, and absolutely no cracks at all that may obscure the driver’s vision. 

  • Windshield Wipers – Front and rear wipers need to be in good working order. 

  • Seat Belts – All approved Lyft car models have at least 4 passenger seat belts (in addition to the driver’s seat belt) and all of them must be functioning properly in order for your car to pass muster. Front Seat Adjustment – The front seats in your vehicle need to move forwards and backwards as designed. 

  • Car Doors – Your vehicle must have four doors, all of which should open and close without issue – from both the outside and the inside. Your passengers must be able to lock and unlock their doors without assistance.

  • Climate Control – Your vehicle’s heating and air-conditioning systems need to be functioning properly.

    Any car with less than four doors or that is not roadworthy will be disqualified.
