The Uber Eats guide to more deliveries and smarter earning

Use this page to understand all the earning opportunities for making money with Uber Eats. Learn how to decide when and where it’s best to deliver, so you feel confident heading out on the road.

You will always know how much you will be paid before each delivery

The fee for each delivery will be clearly communicated before you choose to accept, decline or ignore a delivery request. When you have completed the delivery, you will receive this amount (plus any tips from the customer).

Payments FAQs

  • Quests are incentives offered through the “Opportunities” section of the Driver App where you receive additional payment for completing trips within a specific time period.

    This additional payment from the Quest incentive is made on top of the fare you are offered for trips and will appear as a single entry per offer in your earnings statement.

  • Upcoming Quest incentives will be communicated in-app, and you will always be able to find any available incentives in the Opportunities section of the driver app.

    When Quest incentives are live, you will see them highlighted on the map in the driver app, showing the extra payment offered for completing trips in that area. Clicking on that icon will give you more information about the Quest incentive: The date and time of the quest, the promotion zone, and the extra payments for completing trips there.

  • You can receive payments in three ways:

    • Weekly deposits paid directly into your bank account

    Each weekly pay period begins on Monday at 4am and ends on the following Monday at 3:59am.

    • Instant cashout

    Receive your earnings within minutes when you cash out in the app. Cash out at any time, up to 5 times per day. Please note that some banks may take longer to process deposits.

    • Two-day cashout (previously called Flex Pay)

    Receive your earnings within two working days when you cash out in the app before 14:00, Monday to Friday. Cash out at any time, once per day. Please note that some banks may take longer to process deposits.

  • You can view your payments in the daily summary in your app or on your partner dashboard. You’ll also receive a pay statement every Tuesday.

  • A batched order lets you deliver two orders from the same restaurant at the same time.

    These types of orders mean you can earn more money while you’re online.
