How to order and receive alcohol via the Uber Eats app
Alcohol deliveries are available in select cities in New Zealand.
You can check your local bottle shop’s delivery times by tapping into the bottle shop’s menu and then tapping “More info” in the “Restaurant info” section.
In order to receive an alcohol delivery, you will be required to:
- Be sober and not visibly intoxicated.
- Be aged 18 or over.
- Produce an approved evidence of age document for the delivery person to scan via their Uber Driver app to verify that you are aged 18 or over.
If the delivery person is unable to upload a scanof your approved evidence of age document, they will need to record your name, date of birth and the expiration date of your evidence of age document into their driver app.
The delivery person will need to confirm that all of the above requirements are met using their Uber Driver app before they can hand over your order to you.
