Frequently asked questions

  • Who is covered under the policy?
    1. You: As a Deliveroo rider, you are protected by our accident insurance.
    2. Your substitute: If you have someone else working for you as a substitute, they are protected too.

    Remember, our rider third party liability insurance does not replace your own motor insurance. If you use a scooter or motorbike to do deliveries, you still need to purchase your own motor insurance – this is a legal requirement.

  • What should I do if I’m involved in an accident? How can I make an insurance claim?

    Safety is our priority here at Deliveroo. If you’re involved in an accident while working with us, here’s what you should do:

    1) Check everyone involved is safe. Safety always comes first, so the first thing you should do is stop and check everyone involved in the accident is safe.

    2) Contact the emergency services. In the event of an emergency, call the emergency services to make sure you get any assistance and medical treatment you need. A doctor must be consulted as soon as possible after an accident.

    3) Exchange details. If someone else is involved, you should stop and give your details to them – including your full name, your rider ID, your address, and if relevant, your vehicle registration number. You should also get their details. If you don’t exchange details at the time of the accident, please report it to the police within 24 hours.

    4) Contact us and Marsh. As soon as possible following the accident, please let us know what happened so we can confirm everyone’s safety and offer you support. You can make an insurance claim at https://deliveroo.marsh.com/claims-process# – we can talk you through the process, if you need us to.

    Even if you’re unsure if you or someone else was at fault, we recommend reporting it to Marsh.

  • What happens if my substitute has an accident? How can they make a claim?

    If your substitute has an accident while riding with Deliveroo, they will need to follow the same process we’ve set out in the answer here. The insurance covers whoever is online using the Deliveroo Rider app at the time of an accident will need to report the claim.

    Proofs of substitution include, but are not limited to:

    • Substitutes’ ID copy
    • Any transaction records between you and the substitute

  • What happens if I work for other companies too?

    Lots of riders work with Deliveroo and other companies at the same time. You’re completely free to do that and you will still be covered by free accident insurance when you work with us.

    However it’s worth knowing that if an accident happens while you’re offline, or you haven’t been online in the Deliveroo app in the past hour, you won’t be covered for any claims.

  • Will my scooter and kit be insured?

    Your own vehicle and other items of kit will not be covered. If your kit has been damaged and you want to replace it, please reach out to us.

  • Do I have to pay anything towards the cost of any damage?

    Whenever you’re out on the road with us, you are protected by our free rider insurance cover in the event of an accident.

    If you’re involved in accident that causes damage to someone else’s property, our rider insurance will provide up to USD 1.5 million of coverage, subject to a USD 50 policy excess.
