Deliver food and groceries through delivery apps on a motorbike, scooter or car, choosing your hours.

Who it suits

Over-18s with a licence for a motorbike or car who want flexible hours and know their area.

Who pays

App users ordering food and groceries.

What they get

Fast deliveries.

Is there demand?

Uber Eats lists its SA requirements for motorbike and scooter couriers: 18 or older, ID, a Code A or A1 licence, licence disc, inspection report, top box and screening. Pay per delivery is set by the app and not published in a form we can verify.

Your challenge

Check it before you spend

Ask two riders what they make after fuel.
