TT RideShare in Trinidad & Tobago, the current requirements to apply as a driver are fairly straightforward.
🚗 Basic requirements

You must:

• Be 21 years or older.
• Have a valid Trinidad & Tobago Driver’s Permit.
• Have a Certificate of Character, valid for one year.
• Provide a Certified Copy.
• Have valid insurance.
• Submit a photo of the vehicle.
• Your vehicle cannot be more than 10 years old.
• If the vehicle is 8–10 years old, TT RideShare requires an inspection sticker/certificate.

Their driver terms also require the vehicle to be properly registered/licensed, in good working condition and clean, and the driver must maintain appropriate insurance.

📱 How the application works

1. Download the TT RideShare Driver App.
2. Register using your phone number.
3. Upload your required documents through the app.
4. TT RideShare reviews the application.
5. Once approved, you are invited to a free weekly enrollment session.
6. After completing that session, your driver account is activated.

One thing to note: TT RideShare's website currently gives two different approval timelines—its FAQ says up to 7 business days, while its driver page says up to 14 business days. So I'd allow up to 14 business days rather than relying on the shorter estimate.

🚙 Vehicle age is important

If you're thinking about doing this as a way to earn extra money transporting people, the 10-year vehicle limit is probably the first thing I'd check.

Also, you don't have to commit to fixed hours. TT RideShare says drivers choose when and how often they work.

TT RideShare — Become a Driver

Important: TT RideShare's requirements are separate from the government's requirements for legally operating as a taxi. The government's current information says a registered taxi driver needs a Taxi Driver's Badge and special Driver's Licence, with requirements including being 21+, holding a T&T driver's permit for at least 3 years, a medical certificate and certificate of good character.

If you want, I can also check how much TT RideShare drivers actually earn per trip, what commission TT RideShare takes, and roughly what an Arima → Port of Spain trip could pay a driver.
