Vehicle Inspection for Uber & Lyft Drivers in Montana

Are you excited about getting on the road and start making money with Uber or Lyft, but dread having to get your vehicle inspected? Let’s face it, for most of us in Montana, it’s a major inconvenience to go to a local mechanic to complete the inspection.

Consider all the actions you have to take to get this simple task done – you have to first of all drive to a mechanic, which can mean that you’re spending time and gas (maybe in traffic) to get there, and most likely you have to make sure you make it in time for their business hours, which can mean missing out on other important things such as work or time with kids.

And in the end, the mechanic can give you a long list of items that they want to upsell you on your car before they give you the completed inspection form, which can make the whole process very expensive!

Now, imagine if you did not have to do any of that for your vehicle inspection in Montana! What if you could just show your car to an inspector using your phone’s camera? At the end of the day, the requirements on the 19-point mandatory vehicle inspection are pretty simple… and in fact, there is a company that is doing this today for RideShare drivers all over the country! This company is RideShare Mechanic.

Lyft vehicle requirements in Montana

The vehicle requirements for Lyft driver applicants can vary a bit depending on the state in which you intend to drive. However, there are a few features that all standard for all drivers before their car can be Lyft approved. Firstly, valid insurance and car registration are both a must have (the registration does not have to be in your name, but insurance must include your name). Secondly, your vehicle must be a 4-door one with a minimum of 5 seatbelts (including one for the driver). One thing to note that is somewhat unique to Montana is that your vehicle does not need to pass a vehicle inspection before you start driving for Lyft.

  • 2004 or newer
  • 4 doors
  • 5-8 seats, including the driver’s

Document requirements

  • Driver’s license
