Flexible delivery insurance designed for Uber Eats drivers

Uber eats drivers require food delivery insurance which is also known as hire and reward.
Food Delivery insurance provides protection for drivers who transport deliveries of food and parcels in return for payment.

Bookings are typically made by phone, text, or mobile app and drivers may work with restaurant chains, or delivery apps like Uber Eats, or Deliveroo. Deliveries may be made using a car, scooter, or a courier van, and bookings are typically made by phone, text, or mobile app. Many delivery drivers provide this service part time to generate extra money, while some may do it full time as their main source of income.

Food Delivery insurance specifically covers drivers who deliver food or parcels for a living. Standard motor insurance does not cover this type of activity. Depending on the level of cover purchased, Food Delivery insurance can insure the driver, their vehicle, and third-party persons and property.

Zego’s Food Delivery insurance can protect drivers when they transport food and parcels or use their vehicle for social and domestic purposes. Drivers may also purchase fully comprehensive or third-party protection – check out our flexible pay as you go car insurance, scooter Insurance, or courier van insurance options to find out more.

No. Food Delivery insurance is strictly for deliveries only. Transporting fee-paying passengers is not covered. You can view our pages on taxi and private hire insurance or Uber driver insurance for more information.
