  • You must be at least 25 years of age to rent a vehicle.

    • Hit and run

    • Manslaughter

    • Reckless driving

    • Other major violations may include speeding 20 mph or more over the speed limit, driving on a suspended license, etc. Each state may classify certain offenses differently.



  • Your driving history may not show more than 2 minor violations in the last 3 years, or more than 1 minor violation in the last year.

Renter Eligibility Documentation: Acceptance of a renter/guest into the DriveShare program shall be in the sole discretion of DriveShare. As a guest, you are required to notify DriveShare of any changes to your eligibility, including and not limited to the status of a driver’s license, or any criminal charges, prior to renting a car using the services. Failure to notify and gain proper approvals will result in your account being deactivated. In addition, you will be personally liable for all damages and related legal fees as well as vehicle insurance claims and damages.


 


Renter Eligibility Continued Monitoring: DriveShare may periodically monitor any guest’s driving record and criminal history to ensure that such renter continues to qualify for membership under our Renter Eligibility Requirements. In addition, guest reviews can be triggered by a number of events. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:



  • External notification by the State DMV (if supported by the driver license issuer state)

  • External notification by any DriveShare user

  • Internal notification by the DriveShare system functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion
