What Real gig Workers Say

We’ve spoken to people who are actually out there doing the work — whether it’s part-time on an e-bike or full-time in a van. These are honest experiences from riders using platforms like Deliveroo, Amazon Flex, Just Eat and more.

I started out with Deliveroo using an old bike. Within a few weeks I was making £250+ a week part-time around uni. MediaThrive helped me figure out the best platform.

I use a e-bike to deliver for Just Eat in the evenings. It’s a great way to earn a bit extra without getting too knackered. The advice on here helped me choose the right bike and get started quickly.

Amazon Flex was confusing at first, but the breakdown on this page made it dead simple. I’m fitting in deliveries around the school run and earning better money than I was in retail

How Much Can I Earn as a Delivery Driver?

One of the most common questions people ask before signing up is, “How much will I actually earn?” The truth is, it varies — depending on where you live, what platform you choose, and whether you’re working full-time or just doing a few hours a week.

Below is a realistic breakdown of typical hourly earnings across the most popular UK delivery platforms, based on real rider feedback and publicly available data. This isn’t sugar-coated — it’s here to help you decide what’s worth your time.

Platform	Vehicle Type	Typical Earnings (per hour)	Notes
Deliveroo	E-Bike	£10 – £13	Paid per delivery. Busy urban areas perform best. Expect downtime.
Just Eat	Moped	£11 – £14	Often hourly pay via fleet partners. Drop rate may vary.
Amazon Flex	Car or Van	£13 – £17	Paid per block. Fuel and expenses not included in pay.
Evri	Car or Van	£10 – £12	Paid per parcel. Routes can vary in earnings potential.
Yodel	Car or Van	£11 – £15	Paid per parcel delivered. Can be physically demanding but steady income.

⚠️ Please note: All earnings shown are estimates and may vary. Figures are before tax, fuel, maintenance, or other expenses — always factor in your running costs when calculating your real income.

Delivery Job FAQs

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about delivery jobs — covering pay, vehicles, legal requirements, and how to get started. If there’s something you’re still unsure about, feel free to contact us — we’re happy to help.

No experience is needed for most platforms. If you’ve got a bike, e-bike, car or van — and a valid licence where required — you can usually get started quickly after passing basic checks.

Amazon Flex lets you deliver parcels (and in some areas, groceries) using your own car. You choose when you work, making it ideal if you’re looking for flexible hours to fit around your lifestyle.

Amazon DSP is a full-time role where you work as a self-employed driver for one of Amazon’s delivery partners. You’ll be driving a van and expected to commit to regular shifts, typically several days a week. These routes are much busier — with up to 180 stops and 300+ parcels per day, so it’s fast-paced and physically demanding.

Earnings vary by platform, location, and time of day. Depending on where you work, you won’t always make minimum wage. Expect between £10–£17 per hour on average before expenses. Scroll up to see our detailed earnings table.

It depends on your location and goals. Deliveroo and Uber Eats are great for flexible work, while DPD or Amazon DSP are better for full-time income. We’ve broken down each company in our comparison pages — just click the logo above to learn more.

No — it’s not worth the risk. If your e-bike has a throttle or exceeds 15.5mph without pedalling, it’s classed as a motorbike and needs insurance, tax and a licence. Using an illegal e-bike for deliveries can get you fined or worse — and your platform account could be suspended.

You’ll need a reliable bike, e-bike, car or van — plus a phone with data, and a delivery bag. Some platforms provide starter kits, others expect you to bring your own.

For food delivery: bikes and e-bikes are ideal in cities.
For parcels: cars and small vans are more common.
E-bikes offer the perfect balance — low cost, no congestion charge, and faster than walking routes.

If you’re looking for flexible income and don’t mind being on the move, yes — especially with the cost of living going up. But always factor in your fuel, tax, and wear-and-tear costs before diving in full-time.

Yes. Some platforms require public liability insurance, and some may ask for hire and reward insurance (especially if using a car or van). Always check the platform’s requirements before starting.

Yes. Many riders “multi-app” — switching between Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat to keep busy and maximise earnings.
