‘Hire and Reward’ insurance policy
See our FAQs below for more information.
‘Goods in Transit’ insurance policy
Optional for cars, mandatory for vans. See our FAQs below for more information.
There are two types of vehicle insurance you will require to be a driver for DeliveryApp:
1. ‘Hire and Reward’ insurance
You will be legally required to take this out as it is required when you are carrying items in return for payment.
2. ‘Goods in Transit’ Insurance
This level of insurance is available at a low monthly rate from most vehicle insurance providers.
‘Public Liability’ Insurance – Optional
Public Liability Insurance covers you against claims for accidental injury or property damage caused to third parties while you are delivering. Public Liability Insurance is optional, but it may be required for some deliveries. Having it could open up more job opportunities for you.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) – Optional
The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is a government agency in the UK that provides criminal record checks. DBS is optional, but it may be required for some deliveries. Having it could open up more job opportunities for you.
‘Goods in Transit’ insurance is cover for the items you are carrying. If they were to be stolen or damaged, ‘Goods in Transit’ insurance would cover this. You need a minimum cover of £5,000 for a car and £10,000 for any larger sized vehicle. You need this in addition to ‘Hire and Reward’ insurance, as this only covers the vehicle and not the items inside it.
We use STRIPE to pay all our drivers. During the onboarding process you will need to create an account in order for us to pay you.
STRIPE is free to set up and requires an existing bank account.
All DeliveryApp drivers choose how much work they want to undertake and, as such, are paid on a job-by-job basis. This means they work as freelancers rather than being employees of DeliveryApp, and, as such, will need to complete a tax return in respect of any earnings they receive from work they undertake for DeliveryApp. This can be done by registering with HMRC and can be completed online and is the responsibility of each individual driver and not DeliveryApp.
There is no requirement for a uniform when working as a driver through DeliveryApp. However, presenting a clean and professional appearance always gives a good impression.
Some jobs may require certain items of clothing such as:
These requirements will be noted in the job description in the app.
There is a bit more to being a delivery driver than simply being able to drive. The job can be a challenging one, and as such, a good range of soft skills, such as good communication, are a must. Communicating in a professional manner is essential, and this includes being able to communicate in a calm manner when faced with any issues.
