Your earnings, your way

As a courier, grab your car, bike, scooter, or favorite sneakers and start delivering whenever you want—for an hour, for a weekend, or throughout the week.

Upfront fares

Before you accept any order, you’ll be able to see how much you’ll earn by delivering it. In addition, customers have the option to tip in-app, and 100% of tips are yours to keep.

Get paid quickly

With Instant Pay, you can cash out up to 6 times a day for a fee. If you prefer to receive your earnings weekly, they can be automatically transferred to your bank account.

Many delivery options

With Uber, you can sign up to deliver food and packages, but it doesn’t stop there. Shop & Deliver allows you to earn by shopping for customers and delivering the order.

Frequently asked questions
