Equipment needed to be a delivery driver

Here's everything you'll need to get started as an Uber Eats delivery driver in Australia. Essential equipment to get you off to a flying start!

  • A vehicle
    According to the city where you work as an Uber Eats delivery driverYou can opt for a bike, scooter or car. It's up to you choosing the right vehicle according to your preferences and local conditions.

  • An insulated delivery bag
    Indispensable, it allows you to keep dishes warm between the restaurant and delivery to the customer.
    If you register on the platform as a bike or scooter delivery person, Uber Eats will send you a free square cooler bag that you can carry on your back.
    You can also find one for a few dollars in shops like Kmart or Target.

ℹ️ Some restaurants require you to have the cool bag with you when you collect your order.

  • A smartphone with a good internet connection
    The Uber Eats application uses data to function, particularly the navigation part. A 4G/5G mobile package with lots of GB is therefore crucial. The choice of operator (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, etc.) is of little importance, as the network is generally very good in the cities where Uber Eats operates.

  • An external battery
    Uber Eats is also a battery-hungry application. It will run down quite quickly... It is therefore strongly recommended to have a external battery when you're away for several hours by bike or scooter.
    A cigarette lighter charger is also a very good solution if you're in the car.
