Will Your Car Qualify for Uber or Lyft?

Check Rideshare Inspection Driver Requirements

Every driver must pass a safety inspection before they can get on the road with Lyft. The process is guided by the official Uber & Lyft inspection checklist and recorded on the Uber & Lyft driver car inspection form (PDF). Mechanics or authorized inspectors use this sheet to confirm your vehicle meets Lyft’s requirements.

Here’s what’s included in a standard Uber & Lyft vehicle checklist:

Brakes – inspected for proper function and stopping distance

Tires – adequate tread depth and no visible damage

Lights – headlights, taillights, turn signals, and brake lights must all work

Windows & Windshield – free of major cracks or obstructions

Mirrors – both rearview and side mirrors intact and functional

Horn – must operate properly

Seatbelts – working and available for all seats

Doors & Latches – must open, close, and lock securely

Exhaust system – no leaks or excessive noise

Bumpers & Body – safe condition, no sharp edges or major damage


Once complete, the inspector signs the Uber & Lyft inspection sheet. You’ll then receive a copy of the Uber & Lyft vehicle inspection form (PDF) to upload directly to your Uber & Lyft driver account.

Rideshare Inspection Forms

Download official Uber & Lyft state inspection forms

Before completing your annual rideshare inspection, Uber & Lyft require drivers to use the official Uber & Lyft inspection form (PDF). This document sometimes called the Uber & Lyft auto inspection form or Uber & Lyft vehicle inspection form is filled out by a licensed mechanic or through an online Uber & Lyft inspection. Each form lists the key safety checks your car must pass and once signed it becomes your proof of compliance. Some states, like California, require a unique version of the Uber inspection form California (PDF), while others use a standard Uber & Lyft driver inspection form. To make things simple, we’ve gathered all the official Uber & Lyft car inspection forms by state below so you can download the correct version instantly. Tinker is currently live in Michigan, California, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and South Carolina - and we continue to expand.
