DoorDash Insurance
Every time you get paid for a DoorDash delivery, your vehicle is considered to be under "commercial use". That means your personal vehicle insurance doesn't cover you. If you want the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're covered if something goes wrong on a DoorDash delivery, you need dedicated food delivery insurance from a trusted broker, like P2P Insurance.
As point-to-point insurance brokers, we connect DoorDash drivers and riders across Australia with tailored coverage options from reputable and reliable insurers.
Why You Need DoorDash Delivery Insurance
Whether you deliver for DoorDash full-time or pick up casual shifts here and there, regular car insurance doesn’t cover the specific challenges you face when engaged in delivery work.
Dedicated food delivery insurance, like DoorDash delivery insurance, protects you from the challenges you’re exposed to on the road, including risks from tight delivery times to working in busy inner-city areas, as well as accidents, injuries and theft while you're working.
Get Peace of Mind with DoorDash Insurance
2P Insurance connects delivery drivers and riders with tailored DoorDash insurance that fills the gaps left by personal car insurance policies when it comes to "hire and reward" work. Whichever insurer you’re currently with, don’t assume that your “comprehensive” policy means you’re covered for anything that can happen on the road – the second you take payment for a delivery, the hire and reward exclusion in your personal car insurance kicks in. That means your insurer will knock back any claims you make while you're out delivering.
As point-to-point insurance brokers specialising in food delivery and rideshare insurance solutions, we help DoorDash drivers and riders across Australia get the specialised cover you need to feel confident while you’re working. Our brokers can connect you with DoorDash insurance solutions, including vehicle damage and third-party property liability, personal accident and downtime cover, and public and product liability protection. We’re here to help you feel confident on every delivery you make for DoorDash, Uber Eats and any other platform you deliver for.
Comprehensive & Third Party Insurance
Whether you opt for Comprehensive or are happy with Third Party Insurance, this is essential coverage that all drivers on Australian roads need.
Hire &
Reward Insurance
Bridges the gaps that personal vehicle insurance leaves for DoorDash drivers and riders, ensuring you’re insured on every delivery you make.
Personal Accident &
Downtime Cover
This inclusion compensates your lost earnings if an accident or injury at work means either you or your vehicle is out of action for a while.
Public & Products
Liability
The Public & Products Liability inclusion protects covers and riders if someone is injured or their property is damaged while you’re on the job.

Get insuranceFrequently asked questions.
Who needs DoorDash insurance?
Anyone delivering food commercially needs proper food delivery insurance – DoorDash insurance – as your standard personal vehicle insurance policy is void the moment you accept payment for a food run.
Isn’t the insurance DoorDash provides adequate?
While DoorDash offers some backup insurance protection for drivers in Australia, you're only covered while actively delivering an order. As this backup insurance only kicks in during that actual delivery window, tailored DoorDash insurance through a trusted insurer is essential to staying protected at all times when on the job.
Is it okay to use my own car insurance for food deliveries?
Unfortunately not. Personal vehicle insurance policies aren't designed to cover the unique aspects of delivery work. What’s more, most policies have “commercial work” exclusions that mean that any claim you make while on the job will likely be rejected by the insurer.
Can I get coverage for my scooter or motorbike?
Absolutely – you can insure the motorbike or ebike you ride for food delivery work, and since insurers focus on public liability and theft protection rather than vehicle damage, premiums are typically more affordable compared to cars and vans.
Why do I need DoorDash delivery insurance?
When you deliver food in a commercial arrangement (i.e., for payment), you’re not covered by workers' compensation laws, and there are gaps between the basic cover that DoorDash and other food delivery platforms provide and your personal auto insurance. As this leaves you exposed to a variety of risks on the job, and you could find yourself without an income if you were injured or your vehicle was damaged and you couldn’t work, an insurance policy tailored to food delivery drivers and riders protects you from liability and financial loss.
What is ‘hire and reward’ insurance, and is it compulsory?
Hire and reward (H&R) insurance is a type of commercial motor insurance that covers you when you use your vehicle to deliver food for payment. As you must be covered for third-party liability while operating commercially, you need to hold a policy that lists hire and reward.
