What Is Fast Food Delivery Insurance?

Fast food delivery insurance is a specific type of vehicle insurance that allows drivers to legally deliver food in exchange for payment.

If you’re making deliveries using your own vehicle, standard insurance or standard car insurance will usually not provide cover for hire and reward delivery work.

Food delivery insurance is specifically designed for:

  • Fast food delivery drivers
  • Uber Eats drivers
  • Takeaway delivery drivers
  • Self employed delivery drivers
  • Courier and food delivery work
  • Drivers making deliveries part-time or full-time

This type of insurance helps protect drivers against the additional risks involved in food delivery, including:

  • Accidents while working
  • Theft
  • Accidental damage
  • Claims involving third parties
  • Damage to property
  • Delivery-related incidents

Depending on your policy, your insurance cover may include:

  • Hire and reward cover

  • Comprehensive cover
  • Public liability cover

  • Theft and fire protection
  • Personal use and domestic cover

What Insurance Do Food Delivery Drivers Need?

Food delivery drivers need specialist hire and reward insurance to legally deliver food in the UK.

Hire and reward cover allows you to transport food or goods in exchange for payment. Without the correct reward insurance in place, your insurer may reject claims made while delivering.

Depending on your vehicle type and the way you work, you may need:

  • Food delivery insurance
  • Courier car insurance
  • Scooter insurance
  • Delivery insurance cover
  • Public liability cover
  • Comprehensive vehicle insurance

Some drivers choose annual policies, while others prefer more flexible type options such as pay as you go cover or PAYG cover.

Pay as you go insurance can work well for:

  • Drivers working only a few hours
  • Part-time delivery drivers
  • Drivers wanting lower premiums
  • Drivers looking to save money

The right policy for you will depend on:

  • Your driving history
  • Vehicle type
  • Working hours
  • Delivery locations
  • Whether you use your own car or scooter
  • The level of cover you need

What Food Delivery Insurance Covers

Food delivery insurance policies can provide protection for a range of risks faced by delivery drivers while working.

Third-Party Only

Third-Party Only is the minimum level of insurance legally required. It covers injury or damage caused to other people, vehicles or property, but does not cover damage to your own vehicle.

Third-Party, Fire & Theft

Third-Party, Fire & Theft includes third-party protection, plus cover if your vehicle is stolen or damaged by fire.

Comprehensive Cover

Comprehensive cover includes Third-Party, Fire & Theft protection, plus additional cover for accidental damage to your own vehicle depending on your insurer and policy wording.

Hire and Reward Cover

Hire and reward insurance is essential for food delivery drivers. It provides cover while transporting food or making deliveries for payment.

Without hire and reward cover, standard car insurance will usually not protect you during delivery work.

For example:

  • Accidentally damaging a customer’s property
  • Injury claims involving deliveries
  • Claims involving third-party property damage

Depending on your insurer and policy, you may also be able to add:
