Insulated bag
Having an insulated bag is optional, but it’s a great way to control food temperature. Customers appreciate when their food is delivered the way it was intended. Any insulated bag works. If you don’t have one, you can get one at our store.
Your earnings, your way
With a bicycle you get the same great perks delivery drivers get, with less hassle¹˒ ².

Frequently asked questions
How does Uber address safety?
The right gear is important. Uber’s Community Guidelines recommend that you find a helmet that fits properly if you’re riding a bike, motorcycle, or scooter.

Your total earnings come from base fare, promotions, and tips (you keep 100% of your tips).
How long does it take to sign up?
After you provide all the necessary information, activating your account generally takes from a few minutes to 48 hours, depending on documents and background check processing times. After everything is set, you’ll receive an email, then you'll be ready to hit the road.
