Frequently asked questions
Food Delivery insurance provides protection for drivers who transport deliveries of food and parcels in return for payment. This is also known as Hire & Reward.
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 our Car, Scooter, or Courier Van options to find out more.
No. Food Delivery insurance is strictly for deliveries only. Transporting fee-paying passengers is not covered.
No. Zego’s Car, Scooter and Courier Van insurances protect drivers as they deliver food or parcels for reward, but there are different policies for each type of vehicle.

Scooter, moped and motorbike insurance: Allows the rider to use their own scooter or motorcycle to deliver food, parcels etc. May have a full UK/EU driving licence, or a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) licence (L plates) for up to 125cc engine size. Max engine size 500cc. Riders aged 21-65.
Van insurance for couriers: Similar to Car Delivery cover but for larger payloads. Protects the driver as they use their own van to transport food or goods for third-parties in return for payment. Full UK/EU driving licence. Drivers aged 21 -75.
