Switching to Uber Eats: A Simple Guide for Drivers
If you’re an Uber driver considering a switch to Uber Eats, you’ll be pleased to know that the transition is easier than you might think. Whether you’re looking for a change of pace or seeking a more contactless way to earn, this guide will walk you through the steps.
How to Activate Your Uber Eats Account
If you already have a driver account with Uber, there’s no need to start from scratch. Follow these simple steps to begin delivering with Uber Eats:
-
Open the Driver App: Start by launching your existing Uber driver app.
-
Access the Menu: Tap the menu icon located in the top corner of the app.
-
Go to Account: Select the ‘Account’ option from the menu.
-
Explore Earnings Opportunities: Tap on ‘Work Up’ to uncover various earning opportunities, including the option for Uber Eats.
- Select Delivery Options: Choose the delivery option and follow the prompts to activate deliveries on your account.
What to Expect After Activation
Once you’ve activated your Uber Eats option, you may have to wait for approval, or you might need to complete a quick background check, especially if you haven’t delivered before.
Vehicle Requirements
If your current vehicle is only approved for ride-share, you might need to adjust your vehicle profile. Adding a bike, scooter, or other delivery-friendly vehicle can enhance your delivery experience. You can manage your vehicle settings in the vehicle section of your profile.
Ready to Deliver
After setting everything up, you’re all set to begin accepting delivery requests. Simply switch from ride pickups to delivery requests within the app. This flexibility allows you to earn money without having to interact with passengers, making it a popular choice among drivers seeking a more low-contact experience.
