Uber Eats is a food delivery service that offers customers the convenience of ordering their favorite restaurant’s meal at just the tap of a button.
If you’re looking for a side hustle and have happened to come across Uber Eats, you may have some questions about it.
One of those questions is, can you drive uber eats with someone else’s car? So what’s the answer?
In most cases, your name doesn’t have to be on the title but you will need to be insured and that insurance must be attached to the car. So basically, if you want to use your mom or dads car to go out and make some extra cash, as long as you’re on the car insurance plan you’re good to go.If you want to use a friends car, you have to make sure you have car insurance attached to the vehicle. You can’t just drive his or hers because you have your own policy attached a different vehicle.
For most of the information I read, this holds true but make sure you check the laws in your state in order to make sure this is the truth. Some states may require you to have both a registered vehicle in your name with the insurance to go along with it.

Other Things To Keep In Mind

You Can’t Use The App In Someone Else’s Name
You can use someone else’s car but that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to use that persons Uber Eats app.
Uber Eats must accept you as an independent contractor in order for you to be able to use their app.
Can You Use a Car You Didn’t Register With On The App?
You can possibly be deactivated if you’re reported, but as far as Uber Eats, it is very rare you will be reported for this.
Especially since no one is getting in your car for Uber Eats and you’re just delivering food by yourself.
So basically as long you don’t give them customers reason to report you, you should be fine.
