Many young people face this dilemma: You have a car, insurance, and driving experience, but you’re too young to drive for Uber or Lyft.
You have to be 21 to drive for Uber and 25 for Lyft. Are there any app-based jobs that hire younger drivers?
Good news if you’re under 21! You can drive for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, and many other apps.
How old do you have to be to drive for Uber & Lyft?
Drivers for Uber must be 21 years old or older. You also need at least one full year of driver’s license history.
Drivers for Lyft must be 25 or older in most cities or 21 in a few select locations. Visit this Lyft page to see the exact Lyft age requirements in your city and state.
Licensing history requirements
For Uber, all drivers under age 23 must have at least three years of licensing history. Lyft only requires one year of licensing history.
So even if you meet the age requirement for either app, you might not qualify if you haven’t been driving long enough.

Too young for Uber or Lyft? These apps hire drivers younger than 21
If you’re 18 or 19 and have access to a car, insurance, and a clean driving record, there’s good news: These services hire 18 and 19-year-olds and offer flexible work similar to Uber and Lyft.
- DoorDash — 18 years and older. Any working car qualifies. Apply to DoorDash
- Uber Eats — 19 years and older for drivers, bicyclists 18 or older. Sign up for Uber Eats
- Instacart — 18 and older. Sign up for Instacart

Does your vehicle qualify for delivery apps?
Another benefit of driving for a delivery app is that the vehicle requirements are much more flexible than Uber & Lyft.
Uber Eats, Instacart, and DoorDash will accept any vehicle. Read the full details in the article below.

Delivery apps hire younger drivers
You might notice that most services that hire younger drivers are delivery apps. For example, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, and Shipt Shipt are all delivery services that hire younger drivers.
The added legal liability of driving a passenger is likely why Uber, Lyft, and all ridesharing apps require drivers to be 21 or older.
Not old enough AND you don’t have a car or licensing history? Try bicycle delivery
If you don’t have a car or you haven’t had your driver’s license long enough to qualify for an app, try looking into bicycle delivery.
DoorDash and Uber Eats offer bicycle delivery in denser urban areas.
To find out if a service offers bicycle delivery in your area, check the application page for each company. Bicycle delivery will be listed if it is available in your city.
