Driver Stories
Rideshare and delivery drivers talk through why they rent instead of using their own car — how they handle insurance for a 7-day minimum rental, what a week actually costs after gas and overhead, and how renting past 28 days changes the tax picture in NJ.
“My own car was costing me a set of tires and a brake job every few months. Renting weekly moved those costs off my back and made my week predictable.” — Marcus, Uber & Lyft driver
Read the breakdown“I don't own a car at all. I buy coverage through RentalCover for about $15 a day, and delivery still leaves me real money at the end of the week.” — Aaliyah, DoorDash, Uber Eats & Instacart driver
Read the breakdown“I drive year-round, so I stopped renting week to week. Going past 28 days took New Jersey's sales tax off my rental and switched me to a monthly term.” — Dmitri, Uber, Amazon Flex & Walmart Spark driver
