Requirements To Deliver For The Big 4 Food Delivery Apps In 2021 (DoorDash, Postmates, UberEats, GrubHub)

Below are the requirements to deliver for the big 4 food delivery apps in 2021.

Requirements to Deliver For Grubhub

  • Be over 19 years old (over 21 in Chicago)
  • Have a bank account to collect your earnings through direct deposits
  • More than two years of driving experience
  • Have an iPhone with iOS 8 or higher OR an Android with 4.0 or higher (with a data plan – internet access)
  • Vehicle drivers must have a proper driver’s license and auto insurance
  • Motorcycle drivers must have adequate identification from their state
  • Pass a background check

In case of having registered before and not meeting the Grubhub requirements, it is possible to reapply via the following email by contacting a local Grubhub driver expert:

  • deliverypartners@grubhub.com

Requirements to Deliver For Postmates

The Postmates application process is straightforward. To become a Postmates driver, all you need is:

  • Create an account with an email address and password
  • Enter your basic information, including the city you drive in and the vehicle you use (if delivering with a car)
  • You will also go through a standard background check (yes, you will need a social security number), but you will have a few more things to do before that process begins. It is where most drivers get confused. You’ll need to set up some things like direct deposit before Postmates takes you through the background check process. Be sure to follow their instructions:
  • Review the fleet agreement
  • Upload your profile picture
  • Add your referral code
  • Set up direct deposit
  • Activate your Postmates card in your app once you receive your welcome kit

Note: some markets do not require a Postmates card.

In these cases, your welcome kit will be shipped after completing your first delivery.

You need to link your card, upload your photo, and download the Fleet application. After you have done that, a background check and the final part of the process begin. So, check your email often for the next steps and instructions.

Requirements to Deliver For DoorDash

  • Drivers must be 18 years or older
  • Have a vehicle (car, van, or truck)
  • Vehicle inspections are not carried out, nor are specific models or years of manufacture required, so practically any car or truck is admitted
  • A valid driver’s license
  • Current Insurance – name on the policy
  • An iPhone or Android smartphone
  • A social security number or ID for a background check
  • In certain places, it is also accepted to make deliveries by bicycle, scooter, motorbike, or even on foot

Requirements to Deliver For Uber Eats

Vehicle

  • Be over 19 years old
  • Have a 1997 or later 2 or 4 door vehicle
