Yes — you can rent a car for Uber in Salt Lake City with Driver Valley, and you can start from $41/day. Book direct at drivervalley.com and pick up at the Park N' Jet - Mountain Lot by Salt Lake City airport. Weekly and monthly rentals are available, which suits how Uber drivers are paid — one predictable rental instead of a new booking every few days. One rule matters: the person driving for the app must be the named renter on the rental agreement. Insurance also works differently than most drivers expect: coverage you buy on our site covers personal use only, never driving for hire. While you drive for Uber, Uber's own coverage follows the app — here is how it breaks down.
How Uber insurance works in a rental car
Uber's coverage follows the app, in three stages:
- App off — personal use. Your driving is personal use, and it is covered by the rental coverage you chose when you booked, or by your own insurance.
- App on, waiting for a request. Uber's smaller contingent liability policy applies while you wait.
- Trip accepted, or a passenger in the car. Uber's full $1M policy applies.
Notice what kind of coverage those Uber policies are: liability. They cover damage or injury you cause to other people and their property. They do not pay for damage to the rental car itself while you are driving for the app. Under the rental agreement, damage to the car during app driving is the renter's responsibility — that is what the deposit is for.
That is also why the insurance sold on this site cannot do the app-driving job on its own: it covers personal use only, never driving for hire. We explain the same breakdown in our FAQ — Can I drive for Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash in a rental car? — so you can check the details before you book.
Why Uber drivers rent by the week or month
App driving pays in weekly cycles, and a weekly or monthly rental matches that rhythm: one booking covers weeks of shifts, so you are not re-booking every few days or handing the car back in the middle of a good week. Renting direct also means you pick the car that fits how you drive — a fuel-sipping sedan for long city shifts, or an SUV when passengers expect room — and the same car stays with you for the whole rental.
Remember the named-renter rule: only the named renter may drive for the app in the car, so book in the name of the person who will actually be driving.
