Whats the Deal With Instacart and DUI’s?
I went on the Instacart website to see if there was anything on dui’s and driving for Instacart but I couldn’t find anything.
I realized through the process that Instacart does really reveal their hiring policies to much and that I was going to have to really look into it.
After a lot of searching, I saw some people saying on forums that they got accepted and other saying they weren’t.
There was no consistency in timing or anything.
I downloaded the shopper app and reached out to the shopper help, after three times of trying. This is the answer I received.
So according to the shopper helper that answered my question, he said that as long as you have a license now, a dui in the past shouldn’t be a problem.
My guess is that the people who said they were not accepted had other issues with their background check than their DUI.
I’m not guaranteeing you will get hired, but I definitely think it is worth a try based on the answer I received.
