Do you qualify? Apply to Uber and find out
The next step is simple. Take a shot and apply to become a rideshare driver through Uber. Upon doing so you will be required to submit the details of your car as well as some information about yourself.

If Uber is happy with everything on their end they will follow up with you soon after. At which point they will put in place a vehicle inspection, whilst a background check will also be performed. Assuming you pass both you’ll be able to start driving within a week.
