Frequently asked questions

Everything about renting with PittCar in Pittsburgh.

Can I use a PittCar rental for Uber, Lyft or DoorDash?

Yes. Our cars are rented daily and weekly to rideshare and delivery drivers. There is no minimum number of trips per week, and you can also use the car for personal driving.

Do I need rideshare experience or an approved driver account first?

No. New drivers are welcome. You do not need to be an approved Uber or Lyft driver before booking with PittCar.

What do I need to book a car?

A valid driver's license (you upload photos of the front and back during booking), a phone number, an email address and online payment via PayPal. Cards are accepted through PayPal.

How does pricing work?

Each car page shows a daily rate and a weekly rate. Bookings of 7 nights or more are automatically billed at the cheaper weekly rate. The price you see is the price you pay; the only extra line at checkout is the payment-processing fee, shown before you pay.

How do I book?

Pick a car, choose your pickup and return dates (optionally request delivery), enter your details and license photos, review the total and pay via PayPal. The whole process takes a few minutes online.

Do you deliver the car to me?

Yes. Tick "I need delivery" when choosing your dates and we will bring the car to you anywhere in Pittsburgh - Downtown, Oakland, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Lawrenceville, South Side and more.

What happens after I pay?

You receive a confirmation by email right away. Our team does a quick review of your booking and license and contacts you if anything else is needed before pickup or delivery.

What is the minimum rental period?

One night. Return date must be at least one day after the pickup date. There is no maximum - weekly and longer rentals are welcome.

Can I list my own car with PittCar?

Yes. Submit your car on the "List your car" page. After a free review we handle pickup, delivery, cleaning and maintenance, and you receive a monthly payout.
