> 1. Buying a vechicle specific four door vechicle Uber approves of before even applying to use the app. That is a huge upfront expence. Uber makes it sound like we all have a late model four door sedan collecting dust in the four car garage?

I'm not seeing it anymore, but I recall seeing an Uber related lease program, and now I'm seeing Uber related rental car programs. In the Seattle area, it looks like I could rent a car from two different companies for about $220 per week that's intended to be used for unlicensed taxi services.

If I were going to drive for Uber, and they didn't like my current vehicle, I'd drive a rental for a few weeks at least, to make sure it met my needs before dumping a bunch of money into a car.
