6 Popular Side Hustles for Delivery Drivers (No Skill Required)

Drive for Amazon Flex ($18-$25/Hour)

If you are a delivery driver, Amazon Flex is the closest you can get to making money on the side as a Delivery Driver. While you may already do this full time, Amazon Flex gives you the flexibility to choose when you want to start delivering. So once you are done with your main driving shifts, switch over to your personal vehicle to start earning. 

The average pay starts from around $18 an hour, and you can deliver anything from groceries to Amazon.com packages. Depending on where you live, you can easily get back to back deliveries, making a consistent income. 

Usually a nice, productive shift may take you around 4 hours of your day. So including your full time job, you will be delviering for an average of 12 hours a day.

While thats a rather long work time, you can easily work from 6am to 6pm and still have a decent evening to yourself, without feeling like. you wasted any time. 

Deliver Groceries Using Instacart ($15-$20/Hour)

If you prefer a more personal approach, Instacart is a third-party delivery option outside of larger delivery titles like Amazon. This way, you have more freedom on when you would like to make deliveries. 

Instacart is a grocery store focused delivery app. Where you simply pick up groceries for your client and deliver them. This has both pros and cons, while delivering groceries sounds fast and fun, clients can be rather picky about how their bags of food are delivered. 

The pay is decent, rounding on average to $17 an hour. It is also a very popular app, making it easy to find gigs fast. However, it can get rather repetitive, and the demand physically can be quite draining, especially if you have to pick and choose the groceries (sometimes takes an hour). 

While you wait for orders, I would highly recommend playing some fun mobile games in the background. You can use Freecash to earn while gaming or taking a few surveys, which is a great way to earn passive income while waiting for your next delivery. 

Try Out Meal Delivery Apps ($20-$25/Hour)

If you like to deliver, or you already are a delivery driver, delivering meals can be rewarding and a fun experience. 

While Uber Eats and Just Eat are some of the most common, you can also try out others like DoorDash, Bolt or Postmates. All of these apps focus around the same concept; deliver hot food. 

While you dont deliver packages, as a delivery driver you understand the concept and importance of a good delivery. Since reviews matter a lot for bonuses and overall performance rewards, being a delivery driver would put you as an instantly favored and reliable driver. 

If you have a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle, this app is available to you. Whats best is the pay is great, and its perfect for late night side hustles or early morning rush. 

Test Out Rideshare Apps($18-$25/Hour)

Rideshare gigs are a great way to earn extra cash as a delivery driver. While it may not be directly delivering, the concept is rather similar. As a delivery driver, you excel at driving and keeping up with time restraints. With rideshare apps, you are the independent taxi driver for thousands of people every day. 

Apps like Uber and Lyft are both great places to get started as a rideshare driver. You would need a rather recent car, a valid drivers license, and a good attitude. How it works is, you will open the respective app, receive a ride request, and follow the GPS to pick up and drop off clients to their destinations. 

The pay is decent, around $20 an hour on average. if you have a car with good gas mileage, its even more effecient! You can also get in some good chats and learn about others. So 

Deliver for Walmart as a Spark Driver ($18-$25/Hour)

If you like jobs similar to Instacart or Amazon, Walmart offers a similar delivery operation to both. Obviously, it will be purely Walmart based orders, however if you live somewhere Walmart is the only option, or if you want to keep it simple, being a Spark driver is a great option. 

The pay is good, similar to other delivery apps ($18-$25 an hour), while you can alaso drive whenever you would like. The only downside is that you could run into a lot of competition since this job is primarily focused on Walmart deliveries.

Overall, you can easily earn around $500 a week delivering groceries and other Walmart products, you could also win free Walmart gift cards for bonuses. 

Try out Reward Apps ($25-$30/Hour)

If you are waiting for your next delivery, or maybe you just dont want to handle packages all day anymore, I get it. With reward apps like Freecash, you don't even need to touch another single package. Simply kick back, relax on your couch, play some mobile games, and get paid. 

Freecash offers hard earned cash for testing new games, answering surveys, or even testing out new products (yeah, you could get free deliveries with Freecash, too). I really like this app personally because its a great time killer while earning cash in my spare time. 

To get started, here are the steps you can take:

If you are wanting a source of passive income, this is one of the best options. As you can earn bonuses from their affiliate program, along with daily bonuses for simply logging in.
