Deliveroo is one of the UK's leading food delivery platforms. Riders earn £3.00–£5.00 per delivery, with effective hourly gross of £9–£15 during busy shifts in inner London and major UK cities. Bicycles, e-bikes, mopeds and cars are all accepted.
Pay & Earnings
Deliveroo pays £3.00–£5.00 per delivery. Unlike Uber Eats, there is no Surge pricing — rates are fixed when you accept an order. Full-time riders in inner London can gross £350–£550/week. Customer tips (100% to rider) are added to weekly payments.
Requirements
You must be 18+, have the right to work in the UK, own a smartphone and a delivery bag, and pass a background check. Moped/car riders must hold hire-and-reward insurance. Standard road insurance is invalid for courier work.
