One of the most common reasons people need to provide pay stubs is during the rental process for an apartment. Unfortunately, Uber and Lyft do not provide pay stubs which can make some situations rather difficult.

Posted by: Felicia Dodge in Rideshare Knowledge 4 years, 11 months ago


Uber just released their IPO price at $45 a share, which adds up to an $82 billion valuation.

Don’t be fooled – this is still a huge deal, being one of the largest IPOs of all time.
