Vehicle Inspection for Uber & Lyft Drivers in Vermont
FACT: the top reason drivers in Vermont postpone their application is the mandatory vehicle inspection.
I think we can all agree that it’s not very convenient to go to a local mechanic and get a vehicle inspection. The reasons are plentiful- it takes up time from your day, it costs money, you have to consume gas, and frankly, it can be quite frustrating. Also, the fear that the mechanic may give you a long list of recommended services can really give drivers a negative experience.
