Gig Driver Car Setup
The complete kitEverything a full-time gig driver's car should carry, from the phone mount and dash cam you use every shift to the jump starter and tire inflator you hope you never need. Pick the tier that fits your budget.
Just starting out? These are the essentials for around $200: a basic vent mount, a compact front dash cam, and the safety gear that keeps a breakdown from eating a week of earnings.
Our recommended setup for most full-time drivers. Proven mid-range gear across every category: buy it once and stop improvising.
The no-compromise setup: a 4K HDR dual dash cam, a wireless charging mount, a real power station that runs your devices all day, a 12V fridge-grade cooler, and a jump starter that can crank a full-size truck.
Amazon Flex Starter Kit
Day-one essentialsEverything for your first Amazon Flex block: a solid mount, power for a 4-hour shift, insulated bags for Fresh and Whole Foods orders, and the headlamp plus vest that make night and early-morning routes safer.
Day one on a shoestring: mount, charger, power bank, and one insulated bag, plus the vest, gloves, and headlamp that keep early-morning and night blocks safe.
Our recommended starter loadout: enough power and organization for back-to-back blocks without overspending before your first payout.
For drivers running blocks every day: a wireless charging mount, 4K dash cam coverage, a commercial-grade insulated bag, and fast charging that keeps up with double shifts.
Rideshare Comfort Kit
Ratings and long shiftsFor Uber and Lyft drivers: keep your back happy on 10-hour days and your car clean enough for 5-star ratings. A cushion for you, a fresh and tidy cabin for passengers, and charging so your phone never dies mid-shift.
The under-$120 refresh: a memory foam cushion for your back and the cleaning basics that keep passenger ratings up.
Our recommended comfort loadout for full-time rideshare: cushion, vacuum, and cabin upkeep that pay for themselves in ratings and tips.
The pro cabin: a pressure-relief cushion built for 10-hour days, a 3-channel dash cam that records the cabin (your best protection driving strangers), and a cordless vacuum for fast turnarounds.
