Lyft had a program that was better through GM. The car would pay for itself if you did the required pickups in the designated timeframe. If Doordash did something similar, I'd get a rental through them.
Tommy Hilhitta Beats is determine how much the rental is and how much you can make if it’s worth it with the other expenses like gas I’d also look into doing Uber if your gonna rent a car I’m not sure if you can make more that way
With taxes and fees, I'm paying around 1000 dollars a month. And I have been driving a 2020 Camaro convertible since this summer. So far, I'm still making about 4200 a month. Working six days a week, 8-10 hours a day.

Man I just went thru the same situation. I had a 2013 Volkswagen CC with about 80,000 on it. Banged out right before the holidays and immediately hopped in a rental and been delivering w/ DoorDash while my insurance handles my loss.
I've done this about 4 yrs ago when I wrecked the car I was in. This helped me get what I needed and make the decision to buy another car brand new! Great info!!
Yo this is crazy....I literally just got into a car accident yesterday and because of that I have no car to work with (door dash) so the fact that you just uploaded this is crazy coincidental.....I just don't have the money to upfront for the rental and my insurance doesn't cover it and in the time it's gonna take to go through the insurance of the guys who's fault it is, will take too long.
Hey luvv!! Enterprise Rent-A-Car has rates as low as 45 bucks a day. If you can just get your hands on 45 bucks or so you can Dash and get quick cash!!! Its like investment
I had just bought the first car, hadn't even paid the first payment. 9 days after accident I had, I went back to the dealer that sold me the first car and with no down payment, I was able to get another vehicle. But now Geico is threatening to let me go if I don't let door dashing go. It cones as a shock actually. It seems that if door dash, Lyft, uber and all the other delivery service that hire independent contractors go as a full company, then how would that be Okay? Wouldn't it be the same thing? Would the Insurance conpanies do it differently? Who would be responsible for our insurance then? Would it be us? Or the company we worked for? What about all the Pizza joints that have delivery service? How do they do it? The employee drives their own vehicle... I think all these vehicle insurance companies who say they won't insure anyone that is a people or food delivery person is not doing a good thing at all. I just don't know what to do. Though, I have cut back on my driving to only work 4 hours a day. If they make me quit door dash, then my car goes back to the dealer. That's all there is to it.
Im using a hyre car now while my car is down im glad I googled and found this at the time I was trying to figure out how I was gonna pay rent etc...its a good option for when your car is down
actually this is true, but its also when they start using them for gig workers, so these cars hes talking about are the ones the rental company can't rent to clients anymore.
Getting rid of excess inventory won't help your rental rate go down. They are declaring Chapter 11 so it is just a debt restructure bankruptcy. They aren't going out of business.
Very insightful, I just started and wasn’t sure how to go about with the whole rental situation. Just moved to a big city from a small town in NM, so thank you!
Great vid, but still have a few questions. If you rent a car from Hertz to do doordash, do you need to purchase additional insurance from a company because you'll be conducting business in the car? Does Hertz take your doordash use into account when you rent from them, or do you rent from hertz through doordash? Or are you just doing a typical car rental on your own, but using the car for doordash?
thanks for the very useful info here ... fact however is, if i'm not mistaken, Hertz no longer rents cars for long term to Doordash drivers ... or at least, not all of their outlets do that anymore ... (do they?) and their rates now (2 years after this video was published here) are also higher ... another fact: a monthly payment of around $500 for buying a car (preferably new, or not too old at least) is about $20 / day, give or take ... while if we pay an average of @200 / week for a rental car, then it's going to cost about 50% or more, higher ... of course, as mentioned here in this video, most if not all extra expenses to do with a rental car is covered by the rental company, while we'd have to pay for the expenses of our own car ourselves ... but since working for Doordash is a contract / self-employed job, then we can get deductions on the tax we pay at the end of the year ... there are other pros and cons to this already very well talked about in the video, but one important thing that Doordash Driver has hinted at is the fact that if we don't have good credit, then it's unlikely we could qualify for buying a car from a reputable dealership ... so, ... but the fact of the matter is, car rental companies rarely provide us with the type of car we want, let alone specific year/models of a the brands we prefer ... and even if they do, as said in this video too, it's unlikely we can keep it 'forever' ... the above are both a bad as well as a good thing of course ... but what someone like me is after, is a hybrid or maybe even a full-electric small car ... do rental companies provide us with one of those kinds? and if they do, would they let us keep renting that (or a similar) one all the time? once a few years ago, while working for Doordash, i did manage to rent a hybrid from a rental car company ... i wasn't supposed to pay for it because the guy who hit my own car was responsible for the costs ... but the hybrid car, (which was also too long and big for Doordash-ing btw!) although relatively new and fine with a great GPS system, also suffered from technical issues: whenever the car switched from the gas engine to the electric motor, the car shook noticeably and always gave me the feeling that something really bad and serious might happen! when i confronted the rental car company, i was treated rudely! so, ...
Hertz , they have a 599 a month rental. Best thing to do is call a branch and speak to the manager. I do not tell them I am dashing z just that I travel a lot for work
glad you included that stuff at the end. Its so easy to get turned into a problem real quick. paying 1000 bucks a month for a car payment is massive and like you said you need to be making about 1000 a week to really make it worth it. When I tried doing this, every car I got was "new" but its worth a mention at least in my area, every car was not what you'd expect from a rental car company, its like all the cars that have too many miles to get rented out anymore. The one I had the longest already had 80k miles on it and the inside was in rough shape, and it was only a model year old, or 2 actual years old.
I'm in a jam and I don't know what to do, but I knew if I looked up rental cars pertaining to doordash ,Bentley would have showed up, and I'm grateful brother. Thx for this vid✌🏻
Yez Yez Yez.. Thiz What I Do.. Done It Since Day 1.. I Make 1000 A Week Rental 1000 A Month.. I Profit 3000 A Month With No Wear Nd Tear Or Car Maintenance.. Winnin.. G'z.. 💯💯💯..
That's the way to look at it. A lot of folks get too analytical about it, but in the end, it's peace of mind that matters most. And car maintenance. My late model constantly needs repairs that I wonder if a rental would actually be cheaper!
The rental with all included is 300 a week the cheapest when all is said and done. Then you have gas. So man you definitely gotta be dashing your *** off
@Ishan Jay what state. I am in nj and they want 300 plus insurance. I finally got to talk with someone from the rental place. It may be different from state to state. I wish 240 I would do it just to put wear and tear in their vehicle.
I’m highly considering this option. I can rent in California and get that guaranteed pay. I tend to work daily, for around 6-8 hours. The only concern is it’s technically not allowed. I’m concerned putting a lot of mileage on the car would make them suspicious, but I guess I could tell them I drove up and down the coast lol
In my area the lowest rate would be $279 + gas. Not really feasible. I mean if I worked everyday, all day I guess it's better than being out on the streets but damn!!!!!
Way too much. Flywheels and clutches are about $200 in parts, starter is $60 to $80 with core charge, and oil change is $25. The labor time to do the starter is less than an hour and the clutch is about 3 to 4 hours. Your job should have cost you about $600 to $700 at most. You need to buy parts from Advance Auto Parts online with 20% discount and then find a local garage mechanic that can be trusted to work on your car. Usually garage mechanics charge $50 per hour labor whereas professionals will charge you $100 per hour. Finding a garage mechanic and buying your own parts will save you many hundreds of Dollars every year on repairs.
For me renting a car, if I have the spare money, benefits me using for uber x, eats and doordash. In addition I'd use it for long distance travel. Having to drive out of town every weekend for travel soccer, it's nice knowing I'm not responsible for the maintenance
good points ... but as far as i know, out-of-town car rental also adds to the cost ... 'unlimited mileage' apparently applies to in-town / county mileage i guess ... one better check with the rental company ...
When I started doordash last year I was driving my Grand Cherokee V8 motor it was wintertime so it snowed some so I was able to get out with the Jeep but every month I put $1,000 away for another car it still was putting money in the Bank you got to put money away with this kind of job for that rainy day definite ten percent of what you make every month so I took that $6,000 and put it down on a 2013 Honda Fit from carvana hey 22000 Miles when I bought it for 16000 my car payment is 257 but up until a couple months I was paying an extra $1,000 a month to pay the car off I bought it last June and only owe 5,000 hoping to have it paid off by my birthday in November it's gotten slow right now certainly not like last year
I was gone rant a car for two week and do doordash during them times. And pay with my regular job money and eventually once I make a enough though doordash and postmate etc. I was gone use the money off them to pay the weekly payment with doordash or postmate
Or just buy a cheap 1k car ride it out until it goes and buy another. Same price a month as alot of rentals and may last you longer and you won't have to keep making payments
I got a 2004 sante fe 4 cylinder I am over 2000 deliveries still runs good and way easier to get in and out of than a car when you are getting in and out 50 to 80 times a day I'd rather pay a little more in gas but be alot more comfortable
I bought a 2003 saturn vue to dash in. 120,000 mile 2,000 bucks. It's more then paid for itself. I can't believe how good a car it turned out to be. I keep wondering if it's the better car. LOL
Has the doordash dasher app been doing strange things the past 2 days for anyone else? Or is it just the North TX area? App dropped a double order that my husband had yesterday he got to the restaurant & the delivery had just disappeared. Similar thing with me today where I accepted a delivery got directions was headed that way & got notified that I missed a delivery opportunity & my order had dropped. My completion rate took a hit. Called door dash they said the order was canceled on the customer end but tbat shouldn't have dropped my completion rate 🤔
The Hertz site seems to only offer me a doordash option in Iowa??? I live in Northern CA. Any rentals I've found around here are about $90 per day. How are you guys getting these deals?
@blackguy 2100 yep always happens when I'm waiting as well. How is it that I've been standing here, but everyone else just walks in and gets their order? Mind you, we don't know if they were waiting before we even showed up. It's just annoying especially if you're multi-apping or have a double order.
Don’t do rentals because of the tax problem. You can’t claim the mileage deductible on a rental because thats only for personal vehicles. So if you do the math, it does not make sense financially to pay $1k a month for a rental then twice as much in taxes due to not being able to claim the mileage deductible. You’re better off buying a $10k car every year, in that case at least you can claim the mileage deductible and claim the cost of the entire car as a deductible as well, you’ll save thousands taking that route.
So this is a added information for anyone say you rent a car from a rental place you pay the 200 and something plus the damage liability which then comes out to say $400 and something ...( I think it’s $25 a day for the damage liability) I am renting now from a rental place omg it’s good and bad soooo like he said you must and I repeat you MUST budget that car rental in so I have to make at least 800 and something or 1000 to be comfortable ... gas for your car rental and other grown people bills 💸
Want maintenance free and much cheaper? Go buy a used 2017 Chevy Bolt for 15-18k on a 5 year note for ~330 a month if you have good credit. No more maintenance on a vehicle and no gas either. A full charge of 240 miles, 0-60 in about 6 seconds, and every 1,000 miles comes out to about $20 in electricity. For $200 a week that is the same as paying a note on a 40k car.
@@michaelhuebner6843 - Depends on the car and your resources. All I drive are Geo Metros. Can still get many of the parts for them, the engine can be rebuilt with it still in the car without having to remove it or lifted out by hand since they are light enough, no special dealer level tools required, great on gas, and tasks that take all day on a modern vehicle can be done in a few hours on them because they were built before the age of engineered obsolescence run amok. You can change your own oil on them and don't even need to jack the car up to do it. Has a simple spin on can oil filter right on the front of the engine you can easily reach. I'm not a dasher but if I was I'd be using Metros exclusively. When the engine or transmission gave out on one of them, I'd sideline it and use another one until I had the time to fix it and just rotate between them. Cost of fuel, maintenance, insurance, and tires would be absolutely rock bottom. You can't possibly get any cheaper than that and they will run for hundreds of thousands of miles if you take care of them. Key is being able to maintain them yourself or have a good friend that can help. They're probably the easiest car to work on you can still find on the roads today made in the last 25 years.
I called the closest hurtz rental company and they told me they do not rent to doordash or Uber or gig workers she was vary rude and snobby at this point its hopeless to try and rent a car I have no job and tired of trying

When I started doordash last year I was driving my Grand Cherokee V8 motor it was wintertime so it snowed some so I was able to get out with the Jeep but every month I put $1,000 away for another car it still was putting money in the Bank you got to put money away with this kind of job for that rainy day definite ten percent of what you make every month so I took that $6,000 and put it down on a 2013 Honda Fit from carvana hey 22000 Miles when I bought it for 16000 my car payment is 257 but up until a couple months I was paying an extra $1,000 a month to pay the car off I bought it last June and only owe 5,000 hoping to have it paid off by my birthday in November it's gotten slow right now certainly not like last year
thats awesome you got a car, congrats! my credit sucks too...
Jenny Baker my credit sucked and I was able to get a brand new car.....dealerships are dying and they will work with different credit situations
I pay 229 a week for my 2021 spark.
is this rate better than most places?
Dang...I was really excited about using a rental car..til I looked them up in my area and the basic economy cars are like $1600 a month!!! Yikes. 😬
It should go down eventually. Rental companies sold most of their cars during covid so inventory is low which drives up prices.
I was gone rant a car for two week and do doordash during them times. And pay with my regular job money and eventually once I make a enough though doordash and postmate etc. I was gone use the money off them to pay the weekly payment with doordash or postmate
Yo big help thanks Bent!
Damn why did hertz and door dash customer service just tell me this is a no go??
Great content, man.
Or just buy a cheap 1k car ride it out until it goes and buy another. Same price a month as alot of rentals and may last you longer and you won't have to keep making payments
Is that what you are doing? Which car would you recommend getting?
I got a 2004 sante fe 4 cylinder I am over 2000 deliveries still runs good and way easier to get in and out of than a car when you are getting in and out 50 to 80 times a day I'd rather pay a little more in gas but be alot more comfortable
I average 100 to 150 miles a day for 2 years now and for 1000 you can't beat that
I bought a 2003 saturn vue to dash in. 120,000 mile 2,000 bucks. It's more then paid for itself. I can't believe how good a car it turned out to be. I keep wondering if it's the better car. LOL
I'm saving up for a 2k car now. I be damned if I run up the miles on my 2019
Perfect video.! Answered all my questions.
Appreciate this video brother 💯 are you happy with your car from hertz jus asking I have heard good and bad storys about buying their vehicles?
Im scared of major repairs. My Ford Focus needed a $8700 transmission. Had to go with rental.
They scamming tf outta you
Has the doordash dasher app been doing strange things the past 2 days for anyone else? Or is it just the North TX area? App dropped a double order that my husband had yesterday he got to the restaurant & the delivery had just disappeared. Similar thing with me today where I accepted a delivery got directions was headed that way & got notified that I missed a delivery opportunity & my order had dropped. My completion rate took a hit. Called door dash they said the order was canceled on the customer end but tbat shouldn't have dropped my completion rate 🤔
Yo Bentley. Thank you!
Whose raking in that kind of money for 200+ a week? Doesn't seem economical
I was thinking the same thing. That's for the car ONLY. gas ⛽ is real
I was thinking the same thing. That's for the car ONLY. gas ⛽ is real
I did this with uber. 200 A week (now 150) some week only make enough for car gas and food. Good solution for quick unemployment fix
$200 a week is nothing. I live in a suburb and can easily do $500-$700 a week with out even trying.
I spend 250.dollars per month for my vehicle
The Hertz site seems to only offer me a doordash option in Iowa??? I live in Northern CA. Any rentals I've found around here are about $90 per day. How are you guys getting these deals?
Tell me why I was sitting at a restaurant for 10 min waiting on an order but DoorDash sent 6 dashers who drove far asf to get to the store instead
@blackguy 2100 yep always happens when I'm waiting as well. How is it that I've been standing here, but everyone else just walks in and gets their order? Mind you, we don't know if they were waiting before we even showed up. It's just annoying especially if you're multi-apping or have a double order.
Maybe it has something to do with top dashers.. I think they're stealing the orders.
Don’t do rentals because of the tax problem. You can’t claim the mileage deductible on a rental because thats only for personal vehicles. So if you do the math, it does not make sense financially to pay $1k a month for a rental then twice as much in taxes due to not being able to claim the mileage deductible. You’re better off buying a $10k car every year, in that case at least you can claim the mileage deductible and claim the cost of the entire car as a deductible as well, you’ll save thousands taking that route.
It’s just until you can get something better. I think two months max is ok
You can write the payments off on your taxes. If you rent it through uber you can.
So this is a added information for anyone say you rent a car from a rental place you pay the 200 and something plus the damage liability which then comes out to say $400 and something ...( I think it’s $25 a day for the damage liability) I am renting now from a rental place omg it’s good and bad soooo like he said you must and I repeat you MUST budget that car rental in so I have to make at least 800 and something or 1000 to be comfortable ... gas for your car rental and other grown people bills 💸
Thank you very much for the very helpful breakdown !!!!
watching this on a break. Thanks for all these vids, you've helped me get started. I'm in my second week and crushing the game. Dab break!
thanks for this very informative video, much appreciated 💪
How does this work if you were to use it to Uber eats too?
Good info thanks Bentley
GREAT VIDEO BENTLEY THX
~* Duddeee love your vidz... but you had an orb come in the back of your car at 10:28 !! :o !*~
Want maintenance free and much cheaper? Go buy a used 2017 Chevy Bolt for 15-18k on a 5 year note for ~330 a month if you have good credit. No more maintenance on a vehicle and no gas either. A full charge of 240 miles, 0-60 in about 6 seconds, and every 1,000 miles comes out to about $20 in electricity. For $200 a week that is the same as paying a note on a 40k car.
You people are crazy. It cost about $150 per month to own a used car including repairs, maintenance, and depreciation if the car is old enough.
People that are talking about renting a car for gig work usually don't have good credit!
@@michaelhuebner6843 - Depends on the car and your resources. All I drive are Geo Metros. Can still get many of the parts for them, the engine can be rebuilt with it still in the car without having to remove it or lifted out by hand since they are light enough, no special dealer level tools required, great on gas, and tasks that take all day on a modern vehicle can be done in a few hours on them because they were built before the age of engineered obsolescence run amok. You can change your own oil on them and don't even need to jack the car up to do it. Has a simple spin on can oil filter right on the front of the engine you can easily reach.
I'm not a dasher but if I was I'd be using Metros exclusively. When the engine or transmission gave out on one of them, I'd sideline it and use another one until I had the time to fix it and just rotate between them.
Cost of fuel, maintenance, insurance, and tires would be absolutely rock bottom. You can't possibly get any cheaper than that and they will run for hundreds of thousands of miles if you take care of them.
Key is being able to maintain them yourself or have a good friend that can help. They're probably the easiest car to work on you can still find on the roads today made in the last 25 years.
$175 -$250 per day would be crazy in 2024
Weekly cool but a day hell naw lol
Plz help me. Can I do doordash with my friend's car??he added me on his insurance as a second driver
I just got a 2021 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid last week...its time for a swap on Tuesday..still trying to figure everything out
I needed this video!
Long term renting is never an option.
AAA towing is 100 bucks a year....
How come NO ONE at Hertz even knows about this?
They are completely CLUELESS about this
Dosent surprise me. Google it. Doordash/Hertz
800 a month for a rental car is like buying a 10,000 car a year and you get to keep it!!
Not everyone has cash to spare up front. This gives you a chance to save up and buy a real car.
Answered all my questions, thanks so much. Honestly though, $1000 a month car payment ??
If you make $5,000 a month, the $1,000 is a nominal sun. Even if it was $2,000 a month it is not that bad.
I called the closest hurtz rental company and they told me they do not rent to doordash or Uber or gig workers she was vary rude and snobby at this point its hopeless to try and rent a car I have no job and tired of trying
Not available in all cities.
@@daleharrison658 not cool not ok at all 😤
Cool video bro big help!
nice vid bro .. i think its spelled "Peace of Mind " tho lol
Car just broke down on my second trip.😤
Hey Bently. How about leasing a car. Is that more cheaper than renting?
YOU ARE THE BEST
You said “ Piece “ of mind. 😆
do we get any type of discount to rent a car? and who do you go through
Hertz does it just need a cdp code from dash I contacted dash they told me they don’t have it but have been told you can?
can you keep receipts for the rental and use that as a tax write-off? in edition to the gas and mileage?
Yes
@9:08 I tried doing that Hertz thing, wasn't able to get it to work.
Peace of mind. Not piece of mind.
Hertz here don't offer rentals here what states do?
Hi I have a 2007 Toyota for dashing. Do you recommend to buy one with a loan or just rent a car? Which one is best for the tax? Thanks.
Your Toyota should be good ! Those Toyota’s last long
I get a new car every month….I pay every month. You need a credit card…
I just had to pay out my pocket, how do I get that back
Taxes.....car rentals can be used as a work related expense.
