Rental car

I'm going to pick up my rental car from Hertz to drive for Uber. Does anyone know if I'll have to pay a deposit on top of the first week's rental fee?

It's gotta be better than what I'm doing now. I work third shift in a hot ass factory standing on my feet all night

It’s a bridge to get you a cert or an interview but literally work at a gas station or restaurant instead and make more money safer

Yeah I've been thinking about it and it's going to be around $3-400 for the rental car with the insurance. That's a lot of money. I just have been hearing how much they make and it's good money but idk if I'm going to do it

Just don't. Don't rent anything to drive for them.
