Can I Use the Same Vehicle for Lyft and Uber in California?

The Short Answer

Yes. You can drive the same vehicle on both platforms. Each platform requires its own inspection and documentation.

Book back-to-back slots. Complete Lyft and Uber inspections in one visit when you schedule online.

Bring the essentials. License, registration, insurance, payment method, and a clean vehicle.

Keep copies. Save PDFs or photos of completed forms for quick uploads to each app.
