How Much Does Fair Car Rental Cost? Get a Car through Uber

You can get a rental car to use to drive for Uber, but how much will it cost you? Is it worth it? Californian Uber drivers have access to rental vehicles through Fair for as low as $185 a week plus tax. There is a $185 refundable security deposit that must be paid to use the service. To reserve a car and start using it to drive for Uber, you must pay both the refundable deposit and the first weeks payment. Essentially, you could start using the rental car to drive for Uber for as low as $370 (your deposit will be refunded after you return the vehicle). The rental is based on a 7-day period. In other words, the $185 (plus tax) covers one week of the rental. At the end of the 7-day period, you have the option to return the vehicle (and get your deposit refunded) or to extend your rental. If you do not return the vehicle by the end of the 7-day rental period, your rental-period will be auto-renewed for another 7 days. When your rental is auto-renewed, you will be charged another $185 (plus tax) for the additional week. This will continue until you return the car, ending the rental.

Fair makes their car rentals even more convenient for Uber drivers. Uber drivers who rent vehicles at the $185 weekly rate are eligible for rewards. When there are 70 trips completed with Uber every week, the driver is rewarded with $185. When 120 trips are completed with Uber every week, the driver is rewarded with $305. This reward comes specifically from Uber and will reflect on your earning statement every Thursday. If you earn a reward, you could use it to pay for the rental – your rental will practically pay for itself. In addition to the rewards program available for Uber drivers as mentioned above, Fair also provides Uber drivers with a free week of a rental vehicle. To be eligible for this offer, interested parties must (1) be a new Fair customer, (2) have a valid driver account with Uber, and (3) pay the refundable $185 security deposit. If you are eligible for this offer, your refundable security deposit will be the only thing that you will have to pay to rent the vehicle; again, you will be refunded for your deposit upon your return of the vehicle.

These incidents can happen at any time and for many different causes. Some examples of the possible causes of Uber accidents could include the following:

• Reckless driving, including speeding, tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, and more
• Failing to yield, ignoring traffic laws and signals, and more
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Driving while distracted
• Driving while fatigued
• Dangerous road conditions, like defective traffic lights, blind intersections, and more
• Vehicle malfunctions, including brake failures, engine failures, loss of power, and more

No matter the specific cause of the incident, extensive injuries may occur.

Auto accidents can happen at any time including when drivers are active on Uber or are driving a rental vehicle. These incidents can result in extensive injuries and damages to the vehicles involved. Uber crashes, which may include rear-end creashes, t-bone incidents, head-on collisions, and more, can lead to head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, dislocations, crushing injuries, burn injuries, and more. These incidents could also lead to extensive psychological harm, which could include post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, panic, and more.

Yes, you could have the right to file a lawsuit. Depending on the details surrounding the incident, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit against different parties/entities. For instance, if the incident occurred while on an active Uber ride, you could have a claim against Uber’s insurance policy. If the incident occurred because the rental vehicle was defective, then you could have the right to file a lawsuit against the rental company (this is based on the rental company’s responsibility to ensure that their vehicles are safe for use). Depending on the details surrounding the incident, you could pursue a claim against the insurance company of any other parties involved or even your own insurance company.
