Time and distance

Fares are calculated based on the estimated time and distance to complete a trip. The time element includes the total amount of time from accepting the delivery request to completing the delivery at the dropoff location and wait time at the merchant.

Number of trips

Fares take into account multiple pickups and/or dropoffs.

Other factors

The fare amount also factors in areas and periods of time with limited availability of couriers and higher-than-usual demand for delivery.

Where applicable, fares reflect the requirements of local earning requirements.

More confidence behind the wheel with Women Preferences

We've heard from women drivers that they want even more control on the road. That’s why we’ve designed Women Preferences, so women drivers and riders have the option to be matched with other women on trips.

These features are now available in select cities, starting with Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco.

Frequently asked questions

  • Different delivery driver jobs offer different opportunities. Not all food delivery drivers are able to work flexible hours whenever they choose. You can decide whether you want a traditional full-time or part-time delivery driver job or courier job, or whether you want to be an independent contractor doing app-based delivery whenever and wherever you want—or even do both.

  • Yes. You can continue doing delivery, courier, or driving jobs with other apps and still get paid to deliver with Driber Eats in your free time using your own vehicle.
    Whether you deliver by car, scooter, bike, or on foot; whether you’re a catering driver, taxi driver, or truck driver; or you already work with other delivery or rideshare platforms like Uber, Lyft, Amazon, BiteSquad, Caviar, DoorDash, Google, Grubhub, Waitr, or any other delivery service around the world — you are welcome on the Driber platform.

  • Because it isn’t a traditional food delivery job, your schedule is up to you.

    With Driber Eats, you can get paid to deliver when you want and manage your own hours.

  • Absolutely. You can sign up to deliver by using the form at the top of this page, either by filling out the form with the details of your existing account or by tapping Already have an account? Sign in. Then consent to a screening, upload the required documents, submit a photo of yourself, and download the Driver app. After you get a notification that you’re an active delivery driver, you can start getting food delivery requests.

  • Getting paid to deliver is perhaps the main reason you looked for a food delivery job and chose to use Driber Eats instead. So we make it as easy as we can for you to track your earnings. The app offers helpful, transparent tools, like a monetary amount at the top of your screen that shows your earnings. Look for more resources in the app to help you see your real-time totals and other earnings details.

  • Requirements vary depending on whether you’re driving a car or a scooter, or you’re biking. When you become a delivery driver, you’ll be prompted about which documents are required based on your mode of transportation. Delivery drivers in the US must also pass a background screening. See above for delivery driver requirements.
