Helmet
For your safety, here is a good source from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) related to helmet safety and how to make sure your helmet is fitting properly.
Insulated delivery bag
Insulated delivery bags are optional, but we’ve heard from other delivery people who deliver with the Uber Eats app that such bags help prevent odors and keep the food warm.
Reflectors or lights
Reflectors or lights at the front and rear of your vehicle can help with visibility, according to the NHTSA.
Phone mount
We’ve heard that a phone mount (legally required in some areas) can help you keep your hands on the handlebars and your eyes on the road.
Plastic bags
Delivery people have told us that these handy lightweight helpers can help secure items and prevent spills.
Flashlight
People who deliver at night report that it can be useful to carry a flashlight to find house numbers and illuminate walkways.
Insulated delivery bag
Insulated delivery bags are optional, but we’ve heard from people who deliver with Uber that a sturdy bag not only cushions and insulates food while you're on the road, but it can also help prevent odors and keep the food warm.
Phone mount

Extra drink holders
Spills are the worst. We’ve heard that you can help prevent them by installing cupholders, which are available for your center console or can be clipped to vents. Delivery people have also told us that you can get an organizer for your trunk.
Restaurant guidelines for delivery
Restaurants may outline certain delivery guidelines that promote food safety, adhere to regulatory guidance, or accommodate customer dietary restrictions, and they expect you to follow them—for example, restaurant notices to keep halal and non-halal food separate.
