Who this list is for
This checklist is designed for rideshare drivers preparing their vehicles for a daily shift. If you drive for services like Uber or Lyft, and want to ensure your car is ready for passengers and safe for the road, this list covers the essentials you need to check before starting work.
How to use this list
Begin by confirming you have your driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance in the car. Open your rideshare app and make sure it’s updated. Charge your phone fully, then mount it securely using your phone mount. Bring both phone charging cables and plug them into your 12-volt USB charger. Check your fuel level or battery charge. Walk around your car to inspect tire pressure on all four tires. Test headlights and brake lights. Top off windshield washer fluid if needed and clean the windshield inside and out for clear visibility.
Common mistakes
Drivers often forget to check brake lights and tire pressure, which can lead to safety issues or even fines. Don’t skip cleaning the windshield inside; glare and smudges can affect driving. Avoid relying on just one charging cable—having a backup prevents phone battery emergencies. Don’t assume the rideshare app is always updated; check it every shift.

Cross off items you’ve already completed or packed before heading out.
Before you go
Review the list one final time before leaving home. Make sure all documents are in the glove box. Double-check your phone is charging and the app is ready. Confirm your car is clean and lights work. This routine keeps you prepared for both passengers and any roadside inspections.
