What Are the Requirements for Being a Lyft Driver?
Typically, all a person needs to become a Lyft driver is an active driver’s license and proof of insurance.
Lyft is not as heavily regulated as traditional taxi services, and Lyft drivers are not expected to complete a certified licensing program. After meeting a few company-based requirements, drivers are free to transport clients without any additional training, on-boarding, or experience
Initially, this resulted in many of these services being banned as unlicensed taxi companies. However, bans have since been lifted, leaving the companies free to operate.
