Can you reapply for Uber after failing background check?

Though neither Uber nor Lyft give specific instructions on how to apply again after rejection, but it is possible. However, don't try to do it via the website or app. Instead, you have to contact support for each company and ask them what the next step is. Email consistently until you get a response.
