Vehicle Inspection for Uber & Lyft Drivers in South Carolina

FACT: the #1 reason drivers put off their application is the vehicle inspection.

Let’s face it, with our busy schedules, it’s just not convenient to go to a local mechanic to get an inspection in South Carolina – it costs money, time (which for Uber drivers especially, equals money!), gas, and frustration. Not to mention that most mechanics will give you a laundry list of things that are wrong with your car, that may not even be relevant to the RideShare inspection requirements! What a headache…!
