This is standard insurance that covers you for the everyday use of your vehicle. It covers you for the times when you’re not using your vehicle for your work. SD&P insurance is a legal requirement for any vehicle that has not been declared off-road.

Cyclists are also covered by public liability insurance while working – and motorised scooter and car riders are covered whenever they’re ‘off-vehicle’, for example, when walking to pick up and deliver orders. This protects you against claims made against you by other people, for their personal injury or property damage, as a result of an accident while riding.
You can view more information about this insurance cover, including policy terms and conditions, and excess fee details here.
Motorised sScooter and car riders will still need to have third-party liability insurance for their vehicle, as well as food delivery insurance, as required by law. You can find out about these insurance products here.
Riders get paid for each delivery they make. The exact delivery fee varies per order and includes a variable distance fee. You will be told of the delivery fee payable before you accept the order.
Fees are paid every week on a Tuesday. If you want your fees sooner, you can use our cash out feature in the app, for a 50p fee.
Riders keep 100% of any tips they receive and these are paid at the same time as the rest of your fees.
